INTRODUCTION
RATING PLATE
Record the model and serial numbers of your cooker on the back cover of this instruction book. These numbers can be found on the lower front frame of the cooker upon opening the 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.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE OVENS
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
During this period an unpleasant odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
When the cooker is first switched on at the wall the timer will make an audible sound. To stop the sound press both timer buttons together.
To set the time of day and use the minute minder refer to instructions on page 17.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the cooker 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 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, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when the oven is in use. It runs on after the controls are switched off until the cooker has cooled. During the initial period the cooling fan may cycle ON and OFF, this is quite normal.
Do not switch off the cooker at its power point before the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched ON. The neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached.
If the neons do 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.
