BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
The oven has a 24 hour clock. When the oven is first switched on at the wall the electronic display will automatically show 12.00, and the 'Time' ( 
) neon will also flash.
To set the time of day and use the timer refer to instructions on page 9.
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the top cavity door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE
Wipe over the base of the ovens with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven furniture before use.
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 and 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 appliance 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 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 occurring, regularly wipe away condensation and any soilage from the appliance surfaces.
