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 app li a nce

• 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.

Touch control sensors

• This appliance is operated using touch
control sensors. Functions are controlled by
touching sensor fields and confirmed by
displays and acoustic signals. Touch the
sensor fields from above, without covering
other sensor fields.

Switching the hob on/off

• The hob must be switched on before setting
any cooking function or programme. When
the on/off touch sensor
held, the hotplate settings will show in the
electronic display.

• To switch off the hob, you can press and
hold the on/off touch sensor
Any cooking functions or programme will
stop.

• After switching on, within approximately 10
seconds a heat setting or function must be
set, otherwise the appliance automatically
switches itself off.

Switching the oven on/off

any cooking function or programme. When
the on/off touch sensor
held, the cavity symbol will show in the
electronic display.

• To switch off the oven, you can press and

is pressed and

at any time.

Operating time

• The operating time display shows how long
the oven has been operating. This display
can only be seen if none of the clock
functions Countdown, Cook Time or End
Time are set.

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.

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
