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.
WARNING!
Always allow the cooling fan to cool the
appliance down before switching offat 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.
•For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
Cookware
•Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the
back of the oven.
•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.
