Before using the appliance
Rating plate
• This is usually situated on the front frame of
the appliance and can be seen upon opening
either the main or top oven 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.
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
• Main oven - Do not use baking trays larger
than 30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”) as they will
restrict the circulation of heat and may affect
performance.
