When the oven is first Installed
Remove
all packaging
, both inside and outside
the oven including the advertising labels and any
protective film, before using the oven.
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 elements for 10 –
15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from
their surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
When first switching on
The oven has a 24 hour clock. When the oven is
first switched on at the wall the electronic display
will automatically show 12.00, and the 'Time'
indicator neon will also flash.
The Cooling Fan for the
Controls
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
is switched on and after a short time when the oven
is in use. It runs 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.
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.
Cookware
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
Important!
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.
