Anti stick meat/Drip pan
Before first use
Rating plate
This is situated on the 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.
WARNING!
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 using hot soapy water. Wash the furniture
before use.
We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum temperature,
to burn off any residue from their surfaces. Accessible parts may become hotter than in
normal use. Children should be kept away. During this period an odor may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
There is a hot surface label on the oven door. Please remove the label from the door before
first use of the appliance.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan comes on immediately the top oven or grill is switched on. It may run on
after the ovens are switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the cooling down
period the cooling fan may switch on and off.
WARNING!
Always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down before switching off the electrical
supply to carry out cleaning or maintenance.
Control panel indicator neon(s)
The indicator neon will operate when the 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.
6Before first use

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 discoloration, regularly wipe away condensation and foodstuff from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the
wall.
Cookware
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at
the back of the oven.
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.
Setting the Time
The oven only operates when the time has been set.
1. When the appliance is connected to the electrical supply or when there has been a
power cut, Time flashes automatically.
2. Using the or button, set the current time.
3. After approx. 5 seconds, the clock stops flashing and the clock displays the time of day
set.
The appliance is now ready to use.
Initial Cleaning
Before using the oven for the first time you should clean it thoroughly.
WARNING!
Do not use any caustic, abrasive cleaners! The surface could be damaged.

Operation
The top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom
of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good
results if used to cook fruitcakes, sweet and savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is ideal for use as a warming compartment. It can be used to warm dishes
and keep food hot. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control.
WARNING!
Do not place cookware and cooking pots with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door
as damage to the glass may occur.
Always grill with the door closed.
Switching the Oven On and Off
1. Turn the oven functions dial to the desired function.
2. Turn the temperature selector to the desired temperature.

The temperature pilot light is lit as long as the oven is heating up.
The fan switches on automatically in order to keep the appliance’s surfaces cool. When the
oven is switched off, the fan continues to run to cool the appliance down, then switches
itself off automatically.
