only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim. In particular, the
oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen –

Installation and Maintenance
This cooker must be installed in accordance with the relevant
instructions in this booklet, with the relevant national and
local regulations, and with the local gas and electricity supply
companies’ requirements.
Make sure that the gas supply is turned on and that the
cooker is wired in and switched on (the cooker needs
electricity).
Only a qualified service engineer should service the cooker,
and only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it off at the
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless specified otherwise in this guide.
Peculiar Smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off an odour. This
should stop after use.
Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing
materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn all the ovens to 200 °C and run
for at least an hour.
Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on
the grill and run for 15 minutes with the grill pan in position,
pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air
(see
‘Ventilation’
below). People with respiratory or allergy
problems should vacate the area for this brief period.
