Warning
INTRODUCTION
The two side mounted power outlets are internally
fused with one 10 amp fuse. Care should be taken
not to overload them.
If required the fuse can be repaired by following
these steps:
1. Turn the power to the oven off. Extra care
should be taken to make sure there is no power
to the oven before repairing the fuse.
2. Pull the oven out from the wall os the back is
accessible and locate the fuse cover on the
right-hand side.
3. Using a Phillips style screwdriver, remove the
screw holding the fuse cover in place and
remove the fuse cover.
4. Remove the fuse carrier from its base and
replace the blown fuse wire with a new 10 amp
fuse wire. 10 amp is the maximum allowable
fuse wire that can be used in this fuse.
5. Refit the fuse and the fuse cover.
First ensure the product is switched on at the wall.
To enable the Range to work, you must first set
the clock. Depending on what model you have
purchased, your range will have one of the clocks
illustrated below. Follow the instructions to set.
Remove accessories and condition the oven by
running at Bake 200°C for one hour before using.
There will be a distinctive smell, this is normal but
make sure your kitchen is well ventilated during
the normal conditioning period.
We do not advise placing aluminium foil or dishes
with reflective qualities on the oven bottom. This

irreversible damage to the enamel.
