your product carefully and safely. Remove all doors and
lids. Remove the mains cable (where fitted) by cutting

Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old
household electrical appliances must not be disposed
of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to
optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they
contain and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment.
The crossed out „wheeled bin" symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of
the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.

tion on oven lamp replacement). A new lamp may be obtained from our Parts department
see Key Contacts, back page.
A gentle flow of air will be blown from beneath the control panel when the appliance is
used. If the appliance is still warm, this cooling fan may run on, or restart itself when all
controls have been turned off. The fan will stop once the appliance has been cooled. This
is normal and not a fault.
Steam and / or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear of the appliance when
using an oven particularly for foods with a high water content e.g. frozen chips, roast chic-
ken etc. This is normal, and any excess should be wiped off.
Steam is a by - product of cooking any food with a high water contact. To help minimise
always:
a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being cooked.
b) Use a covered container, wherever possible.
