Problem check
Do not attempt any repairs yourself.
Before calling a service technician to assist with a problem, please check:
•
The mains distribution board for tripped circuit breakers.
•
The wall switch is on.
Remember that you may be charged for a service call even during the warranty period if the fault is
due to or caused by any of the above.
WARNING:
Under no
circumstances should the bake
element be covered with aluminium
foil. Nor should a pan or tray be
positioned directly above the bake
element.
Doing so would reflect the heat from
the bake element downwards. Heat
to the oven would be restricted and
overheating of the space below the
element would result in damage to
the oven enamel.
Do
•
Clean your appliance regularly.
•
Use flat-bottomed pots and pans when
cooking on the hotplates. This will maximize
efficiency and reduce electricity costs.
•
Leave about a 40 mm. air gap between
baking tins and the oven walls. Adequate air
circulation is important for good baking
results.
•
Get into the habit of wearing oven gloves
when handling utensils in a hot oven. This will
help to avoid accidental burns.
•
Partly slide out the oven shelf before
removing hot dishes from the oven. This will
prevent accidental contact with the hot oven
sides.
Don’t
•
Use pots which are smaller than the hotplate
diameter. This wastes electricity and allows
the pot handles to overheat.
•
Place anything on the open oven door. The
glass is not a work surface and could get
scratched.
•
Use the appliance to heat the home. Neither
the hotplates nor the oven was designed for
this purpose and damage could occur.
•
Allow pot handles to overhang the front of the
appliance. Children might be tempted to grab
them with harmful consequences.

5. Important Notes
The oven may emit steam during use.
This is normal and is not a fault. When
metal parts are heated, they may
expand and cause noise. This is not a
fault.
Figures in this manual are schematic
and may not match your appliance
exactly.
Never try to extinguish a fire with
water! When oil has caught fire,
immediately cover the pot or pan with
a lid. Switch off the hob if safe to do so
and phone the fire service.
If you still have a problem after following all the instructions, contact the customer care line on 086 100
3339. They will be able to advise you on any aspect of the appliance.
