WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the 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.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15
minutes at 220
o
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.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of this
steam to escape. However, always stand back from
the appliance when opening the oven door 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, including
the vent at the rear of the hob.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or
top oven is switched on. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled.
The cooling fan may operate after a time when the fan
oven is in use. This will depend on the temperature
setting and the length of time the oven has been in
use.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on.
The neons also indicate when the set temperature has
been reached. They will turn on and off during use to
show that the temperature is being maintained.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate
the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all
controls to zero and re-set following the instructions for
the required setting.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven 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
