Before using the appliance
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 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 odour may
be emitted, it is therefore advisable to
open a window for ventilation.
The cooling fan for the controls
The cooling fan comes on immediately
when the grill/top oven is switched on
and after a short time when the main
oven is in use. It may run 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 foodstuff
from surfaces.

Cookware
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be
placed directly against the grid

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.
