WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the
back cover of this instruction book, from the rating
plate. This is situated on the front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the top
oven door.
To move the cooker, open the main oven door and
lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect
it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging
and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for
advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage
may occur.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation.
The cable must have conductors of sufficiently high
cross-sectional area to prevent overheating and
deterioration.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
This is a type Y appliance which means it is
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one
or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the cooker is
required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position.
Always ensure an air gap of 10mm is maintained at
hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall
covering should not obscure this gap.
Air gap
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.

REVERSIBLE MAIN OVEN DOOR
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the
opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified
Service Engineer. See page 30 for your nearest
Service Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will be
made.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from
their surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker: If you require
repalcements of any of the items listed below, please
contact your local Service Force Centre quoting the
relevant part number.
1 grill pan
(311409401)
1 grill pan handle
(311468100)
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance when opening the oven door to
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
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, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
or top oven are switched on and after a time when
the main fan oven is in use. The operation of the
cooling fan is temperature dependent in the case of
the main oven and the cooling fan may not switch in
at all at low temperature settings or where the main
oven has only been used for a short time.
CONTROLS
Note
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan,
this can be ordered from your local Tricity Bendix
Service Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.
1 grill pan grid
(311419801)
1 straight shelf for
grilling and top oven
cooking only
2 straight shelves
for main oven cooking
The cooling fan may run on after the control knobs
have been switched off until the cooker has cooled.
If an automatic programme has been set the cooling
fan does not come on until the cooktime begins.
Do not switch the cooker off at its power point until
the cooling fan has cooled the cooker down.
Scuffing of the Stayclean main oven lining by the
oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These
marks will disappear after the oven elements have
been burnt off for the first time.
