GRILL AND OVEN FURITURE

The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance:-

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

1 straight shelf for grilling and Top Oven cooking

2 straight shelves for Main Oven cooking

TELESCOPIC RUNNERS

Your appliance may be fitted with telescopic runners in the grill and main oven. To fit the shelf into the telescopic runner,

1. Ensure the telescopic runners are pushed back into the oven cavity before fitting the shelf.

2. Holding the front edge of the shelf with both hands, place the rear shelf forms over the telescopic runners.

3. Slide the shelf into position, lifting slightly at the front so that the shelf locates into the retaining hooks.

To remove, raise the front edge and withdraw the shelf.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

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.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The oven has a 24 hour clock. When the oven is first switched on at the wall the electronic display will automatically show 12.00, and the 'Time' ( ) neon will also flash.

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 runs 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.

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.

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.

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.

HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD

Care must be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods:-

1. Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you cannot store them straight away. The use of an insulated container when shopping is advisable.

2. When you arrive home, place perishable foods in the refrigerator or freezer immediately. Ensure they are well covered to prevent them drying out and to prevent any possible cross contamination with bacteria from raw to cooked foods.

3. In the kitchen keep work tops, chopping boards and utensils clean with hot soapy water between preparation stages. Ideally, keep one chopping board for raw meat and another for other foods. Keep your dish cloths and tea towels clean.

In the event of an interruption of the electricity supply, the timer will reset itself to zero, and all programming will be cancelled.

7. 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 DUAL GRILL

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

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the 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

• To operate the grill turn the top oven/grill

functionselector to full grill.

• Turn the top oven/grill function selector to centre

section only.

• Turn the temperature control knob to the right as

far as it will go. This is the hottest setting.

• To use the grill at lower settings, turn the

temperature control knob so that 110°C or 150°C on the panel lines up with the off dot on the panel.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and

OFF during use to show that the setting is being maintained.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

• Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.
