EXTERNAL AUTOMATIC TIMESWITCH
We recommend that this appliance be connected to
an external automatic timeswitch (not supplied)
which will control the light-up and shut-down
operation period.
CONDENSATION
If this appliance is run for extended periods on the
low settings the unit can cool down to an extent that
vapour in the flue gases may condense. This will
make the inside of the flueways damp, creating a
sooty deposit which will reduce the efficiency of the
appliance.
It is best to run this appliance occasionally at the
higher setting in order to prevent the formation of
condensation.
OVENS
Grease spillages will burn off from the oven interior
when the oven is hot and any other loose materials
can be wiped out with a cloth. When cold, stubborn
stains in the oven and on the shelves can be
cleaned off with a paste of bread soda and water.
IMPORTANT: WE DO NOT RECOMMEND DEEP
FAT FRYING ON THIS APPLIANCE.
