The Cooling Fan for the Controls

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when either of the ovens
are in use. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the initial period
the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

Control Panel Indicator Neons

These lights indicate whether the grill or ovens are switched ON. In the case of the ovens, the neons also indicate
when the set temperature has been reached. The indicator neon will go out when the oven has reached the set
temperature. It will turn on and off during cooking to show that the oven temperature is being maintained.

If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to
zero and reset following the instructions for the required setting.

BEFORE USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

When First Switching On

The oven has a 24 hour clock. When the oven is first
switched on at the wall the electronic display will
automatically show 12.00, and the 'Time' ( ) neon
will also flash.
To set the time of day and use the timer refer to
instructions on page 8.

Rating Plate

This is situated on the lower front frame of the oven
and can be seen upon opening the door.
Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on
the back or top of some models (where applicable).

The oven must be protected by a suitably rated fuse
or circuit breaker. The rating of the oven is given on
the rating plate.

The rating plate must not be removed from the
oven front frame as this may invalidate the
guarantee.

Preparing To Use Your Oven

Clean the ovens with a soft cloth and hot soapy water
and wash the grill and oven furniture before use.
The grill and ovens should be heated without food to
burn off any residue from the elements. To do this
run the ovens at 220°C for 10 - 15 minutes.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period and odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

Condensation and Steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented
to allow some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the appliance when opening
the oven doors to allow any build up of steam or heat
to be released. If the steam comes into contact with
a cool surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a
trim, it will condense and produce water droplets.
This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on
the appliance.
To prevent discolouration occurring, regularly wipe
away condensation and any soilage from the
appliance surfaces.

Cookware

Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm
(12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.

Do not place bakeware directly on the second oven
base when the oven is on as damage to the oven
enamel and bakeware will occur.

7. AUTOMATIC COOKING

It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as
short a time as possible before automatic
cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared
food is well within its use by date and that home
prepared food is fresh and of good quality.

When cooking is complete, do not leave food to
stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly
if the food is not to be consumed immediately.

Always ensure food in the oven has been
covered before cooking if it is not possible to
remove food immediately after cooking.

THE DUAL GRILL

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PART MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN
SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes, the
centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.

USING THE GRILL

Please note: D2160-1G control knobs and graphics will differ in type and shape from that shown in the diagram.

for full grill or anticlockwise for centre section
only.

2. The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number represents the
coolest setting.

3. Ensure the second oven control is in the OFF
position '0'.

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN
DURING GRILLING. IF CLOSED THE
ELEMENTS WILL SWITCH OFF AND THE
OVEN LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND OFF AS
A WARNING.
