Before using the appliance

Rating plate

• This is situated on the 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 is switched on and after a short time
when the 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.

7

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.

have been supplied with the appliance. If
you require replacements of any of the items
listed below please contact your local service
force centre.

Automatic cooking

It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as
short a time as possible before automatic
cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared
food is well within its use by date and that home
prepared food is fresh and of good quality.

When cooking is complete, do not leave food

to stand in the oven, but remove and cool it
quickly if the food is not to be consumed
immediately.

Always ensure food in the oven has been

covered before cooking if it is not possible to
remove food immediately after cooking.

The grill

WARNING!

CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when
the grill is in use. Young children should be
kept away.

full area of the grill can be used, or for economy
purposes, the centre section only can be used
when cooking smaller quantities of food.

Using the dual grill

• Turn the top oven/grill function selector to the

required power setting.

The grill settings are as follows: -

as the grill cleans itself.

• Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this

can lead to grill fires.

The top oven

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It

the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller
quantities of food. It gives especially good
results if used to cook fruitcakes, sweets and
