WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
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, the 'Time'
( ) neon will also flash.
To set the time of day and use the timer refer to
instructions on page 11.
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower front frame of the
oven and can be seen upon opening the top
cavity 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 ovens with a soft
cloth and hot soapy water and wash the grill
and oven furniture before use.
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.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens
are vented to allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the oven doors 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 occurring, regularly
wipe away condensation and any soilage from
the appliance surfaces.
