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.
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.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on after a short time when the
grill/second oven and main oven is in use. It may run
on after the controls are switched off until the
appliance has cooled. During the initial period the
cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.
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.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle does. The vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance when opening the oven door(s) to
allow any build up of steam or heat to be released.
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 occurring, regularly wipe
away condensation and any soilage from the appliance
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.
