Introduction
Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance
has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other
installation.
When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted,
this will cease after a period of use.
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan)
and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed
from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and
also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
