Our appliances meet the applicable safety regulations for electrical appliances. Repairs may be performed only by an authorized service person. Inexpert repairs may entail serious injury to you, the user. Safety considerations Range cookers are heavy and should be handled by two people. Never lift or drag a range cooker by the oven handles as damage may occur. Never leave the appliance unattended when cooking with fat or oil. It could ignite if overheated. In case of a defect, switch off at the mains. Do not clean the oven with steam or high pressure cleaners. Ensure that the power cord does not get caught in the hot oven door. The plastic insulation could melt. Do not use loose grease proof paper in the oven (e.g. when heating the oven). The paper could be drawn to the fan and damage the fan and the element. Do not insert a baking sheet or aluminium foil sheet at the bottom of the oven. A heat build‐up could result and cooking times and temperatures could change or enamel could be damaged. Do not pour water on the hot oven floor. Damage to enamel could result. Always place a baking tray below a roast to prevent juices from dripping on the oven lining. Do not place heavy items on the oven door when open as this may result in damage to the door hinges. To ensure correct cooking the oven door must close properly. Keep the door sealing surfaces clean at all times. ...

Electric oven cooking tips Before cooking commences allow the interior to come up to the required temperature. (On electric ovens pre‐heat until the temperature indicating light extinguishes). Refer to cooking chart on pages 20‐ 21 for approximate cooking temperatures, times and tray positions. Personal experience will help determine any variations in the values reported in the table. In any case, it is recommended to follow the instructions of the specific recipe used. Open the door as little as possible during cooking. If it is necessary to open the door turn to a non‐fan function to minimise heat loss. Open the door as little as possible during operation. If necessary to cover food with foil or baking paper whilst cooking in fan mode, ensure that the foil or paper is firmly secured. For easy viewing and a more even cooking result bring the dishes and trays forward to the front of the oven shelf. Avoid placing food too close to the rear of the oven. For even heat circulation ensure that dishes and trays do not touch each other or the sides of the oven. Best results when baking, roasting and multi level cooking will be obtained by cooking with the fan in operation. ...

The high temperatures generated by using the wok burner may cause the stainless steel hob to become discoloured over time. THIS IS NORMAL. Clean the hob with a product suitable for cleaning stainless steel. Never use abrasive products, sharp objects, steel scouring pads, knives, etc., to remove stubborn food remains from the hob surface, trivets, burners and oven interior. Do not allow acidic products such as vinegar, lemon juice, etc., to come into contact with the hob. Cleaning oven interior Clean the oven enamelled floor, wire shelves and shelf supports with hot detergent suds. Important: always clean the enamelled surfaces and wire components prior to starting the 30 minute heat cleaning cycle.
