To make the most of your new oven, read the 
users instructions carefully and keep them on 
hand for consultation in the future.

Remove the cardboard protections and the 
protective plastic film.

Remove the accessories from the oven and 
heat it at 200°C for about an hour to eliminate 
the smell of protective grease and insulating 
materials. Keep the window open during this 
procedure.

1. Packing

The packaging material can be 100% recycled, 
as confirmed by the recycling symbol (

).

2. Appliances

The appliances are built from recyclable 
materials. If you decide to scrap the appliances 
observe local waste disposal by-laws. Cut off 
the power cords so that the appliances cannot 
be connected to the mains.

.

Before any maintenance on the oven 
disconnect it from the mains.

Keep children away from the oven when it is in 
use and when its has just been switched off.

The oven must be repaired or adjusted only by 
a qualified technician.

Make sure that the electrical wires of other 
electrical appliances near the oven do not come 
into contact with hot parts and do not become 
entrapped in the oven door.

Use oven gloves to remove baking trays and 
accessories when the oven is hot.

Do not cover the bottom of the oven with 
aluminium foil.

Do not place inflammable material in the oven - 
risk of fire if the oven is inadvertently switched 
on.

During the cooking process, water evaporates 
from food. All ovens require this steam and 
other fumes to be vented from the oven cavity. 
For reasons of safety and aesthetics, we have 
determined that an opening at the bottom of the 
door is the optimum solution.
Consequently, vapour may be seen to be 
coming from this area on occasions (see 
picture).
This is a normal occurrence and the bottom trim 
can be cleaned after removal of the door as 
described on page 9. Bear in mind there may be 
residual steam inside the oven. Accordingly, 
great care should be taken when opening the 
oven door.

Heavy weights must not be placed on the open 
door as this may result in damage to the cavity 
and hinges. Max weight: 7 kg (15lbs).

Never stand or sit on the oven open door. Never 
hang any weight at the handle of the oven door 
when open.
