Before the First Use of the Cooker

INSTALLATION

Any gas installation must be carried out by a qualified gas installer or competent person, and in accordance with existing rules and regulations.

The relevant instructions are to be found in the second section of this manual.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed, it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

WHEN THE COOKER IS FIRST INSTALLED

Once the cooker has been installed, it is important to remove any protective materials, which were put on in the factory.

Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven, before using the oven.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.

1.Switch the oven function control knob to fan

cooking .

2.Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.

3.Open a window for ventilation.

4.Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes.

This procedure should be repeated with the grill function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Using the Oven

Always cook with the oven door closed.

Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the door using the door handle, until it is fully open.

The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied with two shelves.

The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.

It is important that these shelves are correctly positioned as shown in the diagram.

•Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.

Hints and Tips

Condensation and Steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the oven 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 oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault with the oven.

To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is located underneath the oven cavity.

During cooking the storage drawer may become hot if the oven is on high for a long period of time, therefore flammable materials such as oven gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons etc. should not be stored in the drawer.

Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will also become hot, therefore care should be taken when removing these items from the drawer whilst the oven is in use or still hot.
