When you first run your oven a certain smell will be emanated arising from the insulation materials and
the heater elements. For this reason, before using your oven, run it empty at maximum temperature for
45 minutes. At the same time you need to properly ventilate the kitchen or environment in which the
oven is installed.
In order to cook in your oven, the oven function and temperature setting control knob needs to be
adjusted. The oven timer needs to be programmed either on “M” for manual, or a set period of time
between 0-100 minutes, otherwise the oven will not operate.
Once all 3 oven knobs have been set, the orange light above the oven controls will illuminate. This light
will automatically turn off when the desired temperature is reached.
Turn your appliance off when it is not in use.
Protect your appliance from atmospheric effects. Do not leave it under the effects of the sun, rain,
snow, dust etc.
SHELVES
Each shelf comes with a built-in safety feature to help minimise them being accidentally pulled fully out.
This comes in the way as a “step”, positioned at the rear of the shelf
.
To fit them into the oven, push the shelf or rack part way into the oven at an angle, then fully insert. To
remove, repeat the process in reverse.
USING THE COOKTOP HOT PLATES
The cooktop part of the appliance is controlled via a knob on the control panel (with 7 heat
levels).
Position “0” is the off position. The remaining 6 positions indicate the following types of use:
1 : Heat maintenance position.
2-3
: Heating in low temperature position.
4-5-6 : Cooking, frying and boiling position.
When any cooking position is set for any of the cooktop hot plates, the orange light above the control
will illuminate.
Surfaces of hotplates are covered by a protective layer. At first use, operate the hotplates without a pan
at
heat position 3 for 5 minutes in order to safely remove this layer and any residual smell.
Pans with flat base are highly recommended. Also, the size of the pans must be in line with the
size of
cook-top
hotplate elements for most efficient usage. Always centre the pans on the
hotplate elements. Using small sized pans on the large sized heating elements will cause heat loss
and so energy will be wasted.
WARNING: Using cookware that is too large can cause discolouration or damage to the
cook-top
surface
around the heat zones, which is NOT covered under warranty.
After using any hotplate element, please make sure that it is switched off.
Never touch any hotplate element, after it is turned off as it retains the heat for a certain period of
time.
Do not let children come too close while the cooktop is hot or in operation.
Clean the hotplates and enamel surface around the hotplates with a warm, damp, wet cloth after
use, but ensure the hotplates are off and not too hot. If there is excessive spillage, you can clean
the hotplates with a warm, damp, slightly soapy cloth (e.g. dishcloth).
If you do not intend to use the hotplates for a while, apply a thin layer of machine oil onto each
hotplate element for an extended life.
