Note: Vapours from the oven vent may in time cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the appliance. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the appliance.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR APPLIANCE
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15 minutes at 220oC 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.
OVEN INDICATOR NEON
The light will indicate whether the oven is switched on, the neon also indicates when the set temperature has been reached. The neon will turn on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of this steam to escape between the wall and the rear of the appliance. However, always stand back from the appliance 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 appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan will always come on when the grill is switched on. If it is only used for a short period of time the fan will switch off when the controls are turned off. If the grill is used for a longer period of time the fan will run on depending on the temperature, and may turn on and off until the appliance has cooled.
In the case of the main oven the cooling fan may not switch on except when used for a longer period of time. The cooling fan may run on, and turn on and off after the control knobs have been switched off, until the appliance has cooled. Do not switch the appliance off at its power point until the fan has cooled the appliance down.
