INTRODUCTION

RATING PLATE

Record the model, product and serial numbers of
your cooker on the back cover of this instruction
book. These numbers can be found on the lower
front frame of the cooker upon opening the main
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.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE
OVENS
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.

ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the cooker 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 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, 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.

THE TRIVET

When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat
and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and
can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.
N.B. The meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
is switched on and after a short time when either of
the ovens are in use. It runs on after the controls are
switched off until the cooker has cooled. During the
initial period the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF,
this is quite normal.
Do not switch off the cooker at its power point before
the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
ON. The neons also indicate when the set
temperature has been reached.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and reset following the
instructions for the required setting.
