A - Installation check and warnings
IMPORTANT:
Please ensure that the oven cavity, venting and wiring is as specified in the relevant
section J/K of this manual.
A licensed electrician with relevant qualifications must perform electrical work when installing or
servicing the appliance. The supply cable and fuse rating must be suitable for the appliance. You
must never repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the
operation manual.
Ventilation opening must not be covered or obstructed in any way.
DO NOT use aluminum foil on the base of drawer
The use of foil on the base of the drawer to avoid spillage and improve cleaning is not
recommended. The bottom element is concealed under the base of the drawer (not exposed).
Foil or dishes with reflective qualities must never be placed on the base of the drawer during
cooking as the concentration of direct and reflected heat will damage the st/steel surface.
Damage resulting from such use is not covered under the provisions of the warranty.
Initial heat up
Some smoke and smell may be noticed during the initial heat up cycle. This should quickly
dissipate.
If abnormal levels of smoke are observed (i.e.: it is not food that is burning), have the appliance
thoroughly checked.

The appliance must never be used for warming or heating the surrounding room. Combustible
materials must never be placed on or near the appliance.

Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not allow pot
holder to touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth when handling hot
cooking utensils in the appliance.
Oven compartments must never be used for storage

materials. After cleaning make sure cleaned surfaces are thoroughly rinsed a nd wiped dry using a
clean, soft cloth.

Before using the appliance an initial pre-heating is required to burn off the fine oil film used to
protect the elements for shipping. The first time you heat up the drawer the oil will be given off as
smoke, which is perfectly normal.
Select the temperature to the highest, leave for approximately 5 minutes.

D - Cleaning and Maintenance
NOTE: Your drawer is made with high quality stainless steel
1. Cleaning and maintenance
Proper cleaning and care of your appliance is essential to maintain its appearance and durability.
NOTE:
People with sensitivity to cleaning chemicals must take the necessary precautions. It is
recommended that protective gloves be worn while cleaning the appliance. Routine cleaning of
the appliance should only be performed when the appliance is at room temperature.
Do not use any acid or caustic cleaners, abrasive powders or scourers on the interior or
exterior of the appliance. Substances or items with these properties may discolor or damage
the finishes of your appliance. If any abrasive, acidic or caustic substance or cleaning agent
should come into contact with the appliance, rinse off immediately with water, taking special care
to avoid injury if surfaces are hot.
When using the appliance, it may be soiled by food spills and spatters or foreign items such as
plastics accidentally coming into contact with warm or hot surfaces
2. Care for stainless steel
No metal is indestructible and certain procedures should be followed to maintain the finish and
durability of stainless steel.
Never leave stainless steel items unwashed. The surface responds best to gentle cleaning
methods, scouring materials and harsh abrasives should not be used. Freq uent washing with
water (preferably hot) is the recommended treatment, followed by rinsing with fresh clean water
and wiping dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
A little soap or detergent may be added to the washing water but too much can produce a cloudy
film over the appliance. Use of steel wool is not recommended but stainless steel wool (a fine
mesh pad) is an excellent cleaning aid. Oil or grease in the washing water can leave a rainbow
film when it dries. It can easily be removed by simply using polishing and cleaning methods
described previously. Thoroughly rinsing with clean water is the real secret and it a surprise how
easily stainless steel can be kept sparkling clean by using the above simple method.
Never leave stainless steel to dry by itself.
Recommended cleaners
Mild detergents and warm water together with a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth achieve goods
results for normal cleaning. Diluted washes with ammonia and water should rin se away any
adhesive residue or gummy deposits on the appliance surfaces. Eucalyptus oil (small am ounts) is
also good for removing adhesive residue. Alcohol based products (eg: methylated spirit, etc.) are
not recommended. Brand name cream cleansers and concentrates, without abrasive qualities,
can be used in small amounts to break down greasy deposits and dirt. After cleaning make sure
cleaned surfaces are thoroughly rinsed to prevent any risk of baked on cleaner residues a nd wipe
dry with a clean, soft cloth.

NOTE:
When cleaning stainless steel surfaces we recommend 3M brand or Advance stainless steel
cleaner. Other reputable brand cleaners specifically formulated for cleaning stainless steel may
also be acceptable. Do not use steel soap pads or abrasive scourers of any kind. The abrasive
qualities of these pads will ruin the even brushed finish of the stainless steel and any residual
metal fibers may corrode causing a rusty/dull appearance. Metal polishes with abrasive qualities
are also not recommended.
WARNING:
Do not use any acid or caustic cleansers or abrasive powders or scourers on the interior
or exterior of the appliance.
Routine cleaning
Ensure all controls are in the off position and the appliance is cool before cleaning. When wiping
stainless steel surfaces with a brushed finish, wipe in the same directions as the bru shin g.
If using commercial oven cleaners, choose only non-caustic cleaners and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid contact with elements, rubber door seals and exterior surfaces.
After cleaning make sure all surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.

invalidate the warranty and we strongly recommend that the oven cavity and venting be prepared,
as described, in the following specifications. This is critical to appearance, oven performance and
safety.
