BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

INTRODUCTION

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance 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 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 ovens with a soft cloth and
hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven furniture
before use.
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 and odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The timer must be set to manual operation before the
Fan oven can be operated. This must be done
whenever the cooker is switched off at the wall or
when there has been a power failure. For instructions
on how to set the timer see page 9.
If the Fan oven indicator neon does not glow when
the oven temperature control is turned, it is most
likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.
The Top Oven and the Dual Grill are not controlled
by the electronic timer.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented
to allow some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the appliance when opening
the oven doors 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 occurring, regularly wipe
away condensation and any soilage from the
appliance surfaces.
