Thank you for choosing a
British built appliance by Stoves
We hope the following information
will help you to quickly familiarise
yourself with the features of the
appliance, and to use it successfully
and safely.
Our policy is one of constant
development and improvement. Strict
accuracy of illustrations and specifications
is not guaranteed. Modification to
design and materials may be necessary
subsequent to publication.
Please read the instructions in this
handbook before using or installing
this appliance.
The Q900EM is designed to fit into
a standard 600 mm wide housing
unit with a minimum internal height of
880 mm.
The User’s Section in this handbook
covers the operation of the ovens
and grill, but to help you make the
most of your Q900EM, with its main
fan oven and conventional top oven,
we have produced the accompanying
‘Cooking Guide’ which gives more
details of its features and benefits.
Your 1st year guarantee
To fulfil the conditions of your guarantee,
this appliance must be correctly
installed and operated, in accordance
with these instructions, and only be
used for normal domestic purposes.
Please note that the guarantee, and
Service availability, only apply to the
UK and Republic of Ireland.
Before using the appliance for
the first time, remove any protective
polythene film and wash the oven
shelves and furniture in hot soapy
water to remove their protective
covering of oil. Even so, when you
first turn on the oven or grill you may
notice a smell and some smoke.
Glass panels
To meet the relevant Standards of
Domestic cooking appliances, all the
glass panels on this appliance are
toughened to meet the fragmentation
requirements of BS3193. This ensures
that, in the unlikely event that a panel
breaks, it does so into small fragments
to minimise the risk of injury.
Please take care when handling, using
or cleaning all glass panels as any
damage to the surfaces or edges may
result in the glass breaking without
warning or apparent cause at a later
date. Should any glass panel be
damaged, we strongly recommend
that it is replaced immediately.

To change a light bulb
Switch off the electricity supply to the
appliance at the socket, to avoid the
risk electric shock.
