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 and hot soapy water and 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.

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 also soilage 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.

The ceramic hob

Do not use the appliance if the

ceramic glass is damaged. If a
fault or crack becomes visible
during cooking, disconnect the
appliance immediately from the
electricity supply and contact
your local Service Force Centre.

Using the hob

• Turn the control knob in either direction
to vary the heat setting.

• The highest number represents the
hottest setting and the lowest number
represents the coolest setting.

Recommended saucepans

Only saucepans with flat bases and close
fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan
base should be approximately the same size
as the cooking area. Ensure that new
saucepans are well scrubbed to remove
edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
Traditional round bottomed Woks must not
be used even with a stand. Woks with flat­bottomed bases are available and do comply
with the above recommendations.

Note:

Occasionally the heated areas may be seen
to switch ON and OFF when higher heat
settings are being used. This is due to a
safety device which prevents the glass from
overheating.
