D –Using the appliance for the first time
After installation, remove all notification labels (excluding identification or warning labels) and
packaging materials. After cleaning, make sure cleaned surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and wiped
dry using a clean, soft cloth.
Power on
NOTE: Oven will not operate unless the clock is set.
When the power is first connected, the display will flash "00:00".
The time of day is displayed in digital 24-hour format (e.g.: 18:00 is 6:00pm).
Burning in
Before cooking with the appliance, an initial pre-heating is required to burn off the fine oil film
used to protect the elements for shipping. Select a cooking mode and set the oven temperature to
180°C. With the oven door closed, leave for approximately 5 minutes.
Repeat the above step for each cooking mode.
After completing the above, make sure all controls are turned off. The oven is now ready for
cooking and grilling.
Initial heat up
Some smoke and smell may be noticed during the initial heat up cycle. This is normal and should
quickly dissipate. If abnormal levels of smoke occur during use (i.e.: it is not food that is burning),
have the appliance thoroughly checked.
WARNING
Damage resulting from such use is not covered under warranty.
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. 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.
Do not use the appliance as a space heater
The appliance must never be used for warming or heating the surrounding room. Combustible
materials must never be placed on or near the appliance.
Do not leave children alone
Children must not be left unsupervised in the area when the appliance is in use. Children must
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Wear proper apparel when using the appliance
Loose fitting, hanging, or highly flammable garments (such as synthetics) should never be worn
while using the appliance.

Only use dry potholders
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not allow potholder
to touch the 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
Items, particularly flammable materials, must never be stored in an oven.
Do not use water on grease fires
Fires or flames should be smothered using a flameproof material or extinguished using a dry
chemical or other suitable fire retardant.
E - Accessories

1 x pair of Retractable Slide Runners (only for the 76/90cm models) that can be fitted to
multiple positions as needed.
1 x Deep Enamelled Roasting Pan with a dual height reversible Grill Rack insert –ready
for sliding into side rack positions or for fitting onto Retractable Slide Runners.
2 x Wire Oven Shelves that can be fitted into the Retractable Slide Runners or for sliding
into side rack positions.
Note: Additional Retractable Slide Runners are available as an optional extra and can be
fitted at any time.
Note: Additional oven shelves and pans are available as optional extras.
The oven shelf support consists of 5 or 6 positions (depending on the model). Always remember

The retractable slide runners can operate on shelf positions 2 through 6 by clipping or unclipping
them between the upper and lower rail of each shelf position.
The wire shelves can be inserted at any shelf position, or on the retractable slide runner.
The roasting pan can be inserted on shelf positions 1 through 5. It can be used with the
retractable slide runners for shelf position 6, but cannot be used with the slide runners for shelf
position 4.
When inserting the wire shelf, the riser should be positioned upwards at the rear of the oven. The
grooves at the sides of the shelves, toward the rear, provide an anti-slide stability for the shelves
when extended.
IMPORTANT: If the oven is ON, remember to switch it off manually otherwise it does not
stop operating in the set mode.
Cooling Fan
The oven is 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 oven is switched on and stop working when
the temperature is reduced. This safeguards both the range and the adjoining cupboards from the
possibility of temperature damage.
Safety Thermostat
Your range is fitted with an over-temperature sensor that will automatically shut down your oven
for a short time 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
for the appliance and the adjoining furnishings. If activated, it will shut down the appliance for a
short time and will automatically reset, allowing normal operation. You should consult your
service technician if the problem re-occurs.
