BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower 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.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth
and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before
use. We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill
for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum temperature, to burn
off any residue from their surfaces. Accessible parts
may become hotter than in normal use. Children
should be kept away. During this period an odour
may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a
window for ventilation.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
or top oven are switched on and after a time when
the main fan oven is in use. The operation of the
cooling fan is temperature dependent in the case of
the main oven and the cooling fan may not switch in
at all at low temperature settings or where the main
oven has only been used for a short time.
The cooling fan may run on after the control knobs
have been switched off until the appliance has
cooled. If an automatic programme has been set the
cooling fan does not come on until the cooktime
begins.
Do not
switch the appliance off at its power
point until the cooling fan has cooled the appliance
down.
Always allow the cooling fan to cool the
appliance down before switching off at the
wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)
The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator
neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon
does not operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set. Return all
controls to zero and reset following the instructions
for the required setting.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the door(s) 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.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, 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.

been supplied with the appliance:-
