1.3 During use
•
When you first use your oven you may notice a slight smell. This is perfectly
normal and is caused by the insulation materials on the heater elements. We suggest
that, before using your oven for the first time, you leave it empty and set it at maximum
temperature for 45 minutes. Make sure that the environment in which the product is
installed is well ventilated.
•
Take care when opening the oven door during or after cooking. The hot steam
from the oven may cause burns.
•
Do not put flammable or combustible materials in or near the appliance when it is
operating.
•
Under no circumstances should the oven be lined with aluminium foil as
overheating may occur.
•
Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food in the oven.
•
Do not place dishes or baking trays directly onto the base of the oven whilst
cooking. The base becomes very hot and damage may be caused to the product.
Do not leave the oven unattended when cooking with solid or liquid oils.
They may catch fire under extreme heating conditions. Never pour water on to
flames that are caused by oil, instead switch the cooker off and cover the pan
with its lid or a fire blanket.
•
If the product will not be used for a long period of time, turn the main control switch
off. Turn the gas valve off when gas appliances are not in use.
•
Make sure the appliance control knobs are always in the
“0” (stop) position when
the appliance is not in use.
•
The trays incline when pulled out. Take care not to spill or drop hot food when
removing it from the oven.
•
Do not hang towels, dishcloths or clothes from the appliance or its handles.
1.4 During cleaning and maintenance
•
Make sure that your appliance is turned off at the mains before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance operations.
•
Do not remove the control knobs to clean the control panel.
•
To maintain the efficiency and safety of your appliance, we recommend you
always use original spare parts and to call our authorised service agents when
needed.
This appliance has been designed to be used only for home cooking. Any other
