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 front of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
REVERSIBLE MAIN OVEN DOOR
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified Service Engineer. See page 29 for your nearest Service Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will be made.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING 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.
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 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.
For your safety, wall coverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
OVEN / GRILL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens or grill are switched on. In the case of the ovens, they also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will cycle on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained. The grill neon may cycle when the grill is switched on.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan will always come on when the grill and the top oven are switched on. If they are only used for a short period of time the fan will switch off when the controls are turned off. If the grill or the top oven are used for a longer period of time the fan will run on depending on the temperature, and may cycle on and off until the cooker 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 cycle on and off after the control knobs have been switched off, until the cooker has cooled. Do not switch the cooker off at its power point until the fan has cooled the cooker down.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker:
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 grill deflector
1 cranked shelf for grilling and top oven cooking only
2 straight shelves
for main oven cooking
The grill deflector sits above the grill element and prevents fat splashing onto the grill roof.
The deflector may be easily removed for cleaning.
