USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
After installation remove all notification labels (not grill or electrical warning labels), advertising, tape, packaging,
etc. A quick diluted wash with Ammonia and water should rinse away any adhesive residue. Eucalyptus oil (small
amounts) is also good for removing adhesive residue. Thoroughly rinse cleaned surfaces and wipe them dry using
a clean, soft cloth.
NOTE: People with sensitivity to cleaning chemicals must take the necessary precautions. St George recommends wearing
protective gloves while cleaning the appliance.

Power On
The time of day is displayed in digital 24-hour format (e.g. 18:00 is 6:00 p.m.). When power is first applied the time

Burning In
Before cooking in the appliance an initial pre-heat is required to burn off the fine oil film used to protect the
elements during shipping. The first time you heat up the oven (or grill) the oil will be given off as smoke (some
smell may also be noticeable), which is perfectly normal.
