if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this
booklet.

To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.

When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an
extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is
suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due
to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the
insulation.
