Things To Watch For; Before Use Of The Oven - Pelgrim 955 ONY User Manual

Things to watch for

The fitting of the appliance should only be
carried out by a registered fitter (see
electrical connection).
Disconnect the appliance before starting with
cleaning or reparation. Preferably by taking
the plug out of the socket or by turning off the
mains switch.
The glass oven door can heat up (to a max. of
100 °C) when using the oven at maximum
temperature for a long time (e.g. during
grilling). Act with care if children are nearby.
Grease and oil are flammable when over-
heated. Stay near the cooker when preparing
dishes.
Cords to electrical appliances – e.g.
a mixer – can get caught between the door
of the convector oven or may accidentally
touch the cooking zones.
Always cool the oven with a closed oven
door.
Always grill with a closed oven door.

Before use of the oven

Prepare for use
Remove all accessories from the oven and
clean them thoroughly using a dish-washing
detergent. Switch on the closed, empty oven
at the maximum temperature for about thirty
minutes, after which the grilling element
should be switched on for a period of fifteen
minutes. Let the oven cool off and clean it
with warm water.
Please note:
When the oven is heated to a high temperature
for the first time, you will smell a "new
appliance" odour. This is to be expected.
Do not use aluminium foil
Never cover the base of the oven with
aluminium foil and do not put baking tins on
the base of the oven. The foil will block the
heat, damaging the enamel, and the baking
result will therefore not be satisfactory.
Clean immediately
Spilled foods with sugar or fruit juices, such
as prune juice or rhubarb, may affect the
colour of the enamel. Spills of this type should
be cleaned immediately.
