INTRODUCTION
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the 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.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE OVENS
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
o
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 before the ovens
can be operated. This must be done whenever the
appliance is switched off at the wall or when there
has been a power failure.
If the oven indicator neons do not glow when the
controls are switched on, it is most likely that the
timer is set for automatic cooking.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance 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 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, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
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. Advice on the effect of
different materials and finishes of bakeware is given
in 'Hints and Tips' in the appropriate oven section.
THE SHELF POSITIONS
Recommended shelf positions have been shown in
the cooking chart.
If not fitted correctly the shelf will lie at an angle and
the safety stop will not be effected. To ensure that
the shelf has the correct side uppermost, the wire
stringers which make up the shelf should lie on top of
the surrounding frame.
MAIN OVEN LIGHT
SELECTING THE MAIN OVEN LIGHT
The oven light illuminates the main oven when a
main oven cooking function and temperature has
been selected.
To turn the main oven light on whilst the oven is not
in operation, turn the oven function selector to the
light function.
