BEFORE USING THE COOKER

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The timer must be set to manual operation before the Multifunction main oven can be operated. This must be done whenever the cooker is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure. For instructions on how to set the timer see page 11.

If the Main oven indicator neon does not glow when the oven temperature control is turned, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.

The Top Oven and the Dual Grill are not controlled by the electronic timer.

RATING PLATE

Record the model, serial and product numbers of your cooker on the back page of this instruction book for future reference. You can find these numbers on the rating plate on the front frame of the cooker upon opening the top 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.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR

COOKER

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.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the cooker when opening the oven doors 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 occurring, regularly wipe away condensation and any soilage from the cooker surfaces.
