Before First Use
Before using the oven for the first time clean it
thoroughly. Switch off the unit at the isolator
or mains supply. Remove all packing materials
and accessories. Using hot water and a mild
detergent, wipe the oven interior and then
rinse carefully with a damp cloth. Wash the
oven shelves and accessories in a dishwasher
or using hot water and a mild detergent and
dry thoroughly.
Slide the oven shelves into the oven and close
the door. To dispel any manufacturing smells,
turn the oven to 200°C and run for 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.
Personal Safety
n
Accessible parts will become hot during
use and will retain heat even after you
have stopped cooking. Keep babies and
children away from the oven.
n
When the oven is not in use, ensure
that the control knobs are in the OFF
position.
n
To minimise the possibility of burns,
always be certain that the controls are
in the OFF position and that the entire
oven is cool before attempting to clean.
n
Use dry oven gloves when applicable –
using damp gloves might result in steam
burns when you touch a hot surface.
Never operate the oven with wet hands.
DO NOT
use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of a glove – it might catch fire if it
touches a hot surface.
n
Always keep combustible wall coverings
or curtains, etc., a safe distance away
from your oven, and never wear loose-
fitting or hanging clothes while using
the appliance.
n
DO NOT
store or use aerosols, or any other
potentially combustible or flammable
materials, in the vicinity of the oven.
