BEFORE USING THE COOKER

RATING PLATE

Record the model, product and serial numbers
of your cooker on the back page of this
instruction book for future reference. You can
find these numbers on the rating plate on the
front frame of the cooker upon opening the top
oven door.
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.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR
COOKER
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 an 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 10.
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
cooker 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 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
cooker.
To prevent discolouration occurring, regularly
wipe away condensation and any soilage from
the cooker surfaces.
