Ensure that you support the grill pan
when it is in the withdrawn or partially
withdrawn position.

unobstructed to ensure ventilation of
the oven.
Ensure that the anti-tilt shelves are
put in place correctly. Refer to
instructions on pages 21 and 23.
Never line any part of the cooker
with aluminium foil. Do not allow
heatproof cooking materials, e.g.
roasting bags, to come into contact

Always stand back from the cooker
when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to
release.
Never leave the cooker
unattended when the oven doors

RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower front frame of the cooker
and can be seen upon opening the top cavity door.
Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the
back or top of some models (where applicable).
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse
or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on
the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker as
this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect
it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging
and damage has occurred the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage
may occur.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to
prevent overheating and deterioration.
The recommended cross-section area is six square
millimetres (6.00mm²).
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the cooker, open the fan oven door, and lift
the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
This is a type Y cooker which means it is
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one
or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Ensure that the cooker is standing level.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the cooker is
required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.
WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE
EARTHED
INTRODUCTION
REAR VIEW

Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time
cause discoloration of wallcoverings behind the
cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to
tile behind the cooker.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the cooker is level after
installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the cooker to
accommodate uneven floors.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 -
15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their
surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the cooker when opening the oven door 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 cooker, 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 discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces
including the vent at the rear of the hob. See note
at the top of this page.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the cooker
should be securely fixed to the wall.
The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill
or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled. If an automatic programme has been set for
the top oven, the cooling fan does not switch on until
the cooktime begins.
The cooling fan may operate after a time when the
fan oven is in use. This will depend on the
temperature setting and the length of time the oven
has been in use.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on.
The neons also indicate when the set temperature
has been reached. They will turn on and off during
use to show that the temperature is being
maintained.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and re-set following the
instructions for the required setting.
When the oven has been set for automatic cooking
the neon should remain unlit during OFF periods.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven 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.
