SAFETY INFORMATION

The following information has been taken from the User Instructions:
The oven is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in
any other installation.
NOTE: - When the oven is first used, an odour may be emitted - this will cease after a short
period of use.
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat the empty oven to maximum temperatures for a minimum of two
to three hours, keeping the door(s) closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window
or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is
suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased.
This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and any moisture absorbed by
the insulation.
When used properly the appliance is completely safe, but as with any electrical product there
are certain precautions that must be observed.
