INTRODUCTION
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 lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the top
oven door.
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.
To move the cooker, open the main oven door and
lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
This is a type X 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 at either side of the cooker
is required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position. It is recommended that proprietary trims are
fitted to protect the worktops of either side of the
appliance. These are available from most DIY stores.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
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.
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
8
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 front
of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
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.
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 between the wall and the rear
of the appliance. 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, wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
In the case of the main oven the cooling fan may not
switch on except when used for a longer period of
time. The cooling fan may run on, and turn on and off
after the control knobs have been switched off, until
the cooker has cooled. Do not switch the cooker off
at its power point until the fan has cooled the cooker
down.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker:
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on.
The neons also indicate when the set temperature
has been reached. They will turn on and off during
use to show that the 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 re-set following the
instructions for the required setting.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROL
The cooling fan will always come on when the grill
and the top oven are switched on. If they are only
used for a short period of time the fan will switch off
when the controls are turned off. If the grill or the top
oven are used for a longer period of time the fan will
run on depending on the temperature, and may turn
on and off until the cooker has cooled.
S
1 straight shelf for
grilling and top oven
cooking only
2 straight shelves
for main oven cooking
Scuffing of the Stayclean 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.
