A -Installation check and warnings
IMPORTANT:
Please ensure that the oven cavity, venting and wiring is as specified in the relevant
section G of this manual.
A licensed electrician with relevant qualifications must perform electrical work when installing or
servicing the appliance. The supply cable and fuse rating must be suitable for the appliance. You

Ventilation opening must not be covered or obstructed in any way.
DO NOT use aluminum foil on the base of ovens
The use of foil on the base of the oven to avoid spillage and improve cleaning is not
recommended. The bottom element is concealed under the base of the oven liner (not exposed).
Foil or dishes with reflective qualities must never be placed on the base of the oven during
cooking as the concentration of direct and reflected heat will damage the enamel surface.
Damage resulting from such use is not covered under the provisions of the warranty.

Some smoke and smell may be noticed during the initial heat up cycle. This should quickly
dissipate.
If abnormal levels of smoke are observed (i.e.: it is not food that is burning), have the appliance
thoroughly checked.

holder to touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth when handling hot
cooking utensils in the appliance.
Oven compartments must never be used for storage

Canceling automatic settings
To cancel a program:
Press plus and minus button simultaneously for minimum 3 seconds.
NOTE:
On oven start up or possibly at other times, due to electricity supply deviations –the
programmer may freeze on a function –if this occurs we recommend that, after checking
other solutions without success, it is recommended that power supply be disconnected to
the appliance and allow it to be in this position for some minutes before reconnecting.
This may have a result of clearing the frozen position allowing you to reset the
programmer for normal operation.
Cooling Fan
The Single and Double Ovens are provided with a cooling fan motor to reduce the heat around
the oven. The fan motor is controlled by a sensor, which will start when the temperature achieves
the level pre-fixed and stop working when the temperature is reduced accordingly.
This safeguards both the oven and the adjoining cupboards from the possibility of temperature
damage.
Safety Thermostat
Your oven is fitted with an over temperature sensor that will automatically shut down your oven
for a period if it is deemed to be overheating-this sensor is fitted to the rear wall of the oven,
inside the outer case –it will only activate in extreme circumstances and is provided as protection
to the appliance and the adjoining furnishings. If activated it will shut down the appliance for a
short time and will automatically reset allowing normal operations –you should consult your
service technician if the problem re-occurs.
