Before first use

Rating plate
This is situated on the 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.
Warning! 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 oven(s) with a soft
cloth using hot soapy water. Wash the furniture
before use.
We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill for
10 – 15 minutes at maximum temperature, to
burn off any residue from their surfaces.
Accessible parts may become hotter than in
normal use. Children should be kept away.
During this period an odor may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
Important! There is a hot surface label
on the oven door which is mandatory for
Australia market only. This label can be
removed for the use of the appliance
outside Australia.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan comes on immediately the top
oven or grill is switched on. It may run on after
the ovens are switched off until the appliance
Built in double oven user manual
has cooled. During the cooling down period the
cooling fan may switch on and off.
Warning! Always allow the
cooling fan to cool the appliance
down before switching off the
electrical supply to carry out
cleaning or maintenance.
Control panel indicator neon(s)
The indicator neon will operate when the
oven(s) is switched on. The indicator neon will
glow. It may turn on and off during use to show
that the setting is being maintained. If the neon
does 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.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam similar
to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this
steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance when opening the door(s) 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 discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and foodstuff from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

Cookware

Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the
back of the oven.
