CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes
only. It must not be used for other purposes, for
example room heating. Using it for any other
purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability
claim. Besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel
and may overheat the control knobs.
Installation and Maintenance
All installations must be in accordance with the relevant
instructions in this booklet, with the relevant national
and local regulations, and with the local electricity supply
companies’ requirements.
Make sure that the cooker is correctly wired and switched on.
The hob control display will flash for about 2 seconds
during first power setting – this is normal.
Set the clock to make sure that the ovens are functional –
see the relevant section in this manual.
It is recommended that this appliance is serviced annually.
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 your cooker 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 30 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.
