Before using the appliance

Rating plate

• This is situated on the lower front frame of the

appliance 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 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

appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.

Preparing to use your appliance

• Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft

cloth using hot soapy water. Wash the furniture before use.

• We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill

for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum temperature, to burn off any residue from their surfaces. Accessible parts may become hotter than in normal use. Children should be kept away. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

The cooling fan for the controls

• The cooling fan comes on immediately when

the grill/top oven is switched on and after a short time when the main oven is 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.

WARNING!

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

Control panel indicator neon(s)

• The indicator neon will operate when the grill

(where applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon does 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.

Condensation and steam

• When food is heated it produces steam similar

to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the door(s) 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 foodstuff from surfaces.

• For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the

appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

Cookware

• Baking trays, 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.
