Important Safeguards and Recommendations

–Do not carry out any cleaning or maintenance without first disconnecting the appliance from the electrical supply.

–During and after use of the oven, certain parts will become very hot. Do not touch hot parts.

–After use always ensure that the controls are in the OFF position.

–Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.

–Keep children away from the oven during use.

–  Children, or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can use the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings.

– WARNING

  When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for this type of product category. However special care should be taken around the rear or the underneath of the appliance as these areas are not designed or intended to be touched and may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.

–  Fire Risk! Do not store inflammable materials inside the oven.

–  Always use oven gloves when removing the shelves and food trays from the oven whilst hot.

–  Clean the oven regularly and do not allow fat or oils to build up in the oven base or trays. Remove spillages as soon as they occur.

–  Do not line the oven walls with aluminium foil. Do not place baking trays or the drip tray on the base of the oven chamber.

–  Always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door to allow steam and hot air to escape before removing the food.

–  Do not hang towels, dishcloths or other items on the cooker or its handle – as this could be a fire hazard.

–  Make sure that electrical cords connecting other appliances in the proximity cannot become entrapped in the oven door.

–  Before disposing of an unwanted appliance, it is recommended that it is made inoperative and that all potentially hazardous parts are made harmless.

–  Important: This appliance has been designed for domestic use only. The appliance is NOT suitable for use within a semi-commercial, commercial or communal environment.

–  Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.

–  Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

6Q6, 6V6, 6Z6 specifications

CDA 6Q6, 6Z6, and 6V6 are three notable vacuum tubes that have played a significant role in the realm of audio amplification and electronic devices. Each of these tubes has unique features and characteristics that make them ideal for various applications, particularly in the world of vintage audio equipment.

The 6Q6 is primarily used in audio amplifiers and radio transmitters. It boasts a maximum plate power dissipation of 19 watts, making it suitable for moderate power output applications. The tube operates with a relatively high gain and is well-regarded for its ability to produce a warm, rich sound that is cherished by audiophiles. The 6Q6 is also noted for its linearity, providing accurate sound reproduction, which is essential for high-fidelity audio systems.

On the other hand, the 6Z6 is a lesser-known tube that was designed for use in similar applications. It operates at lower power levels compared to the 6Q6, typically being used in smaller radio applications and low-power audio amplifiers. With a maximum plate power dissipation of around 14 watts, it is perfect for specific niche applications where size and power consumption are critical. The tonal characteristics of the 6Z6 may not be as robust as the 6Q6, but it still provides a pleasing sound suitable for small, vintage audio applications.

The 6V6 is one of the most popular and widely used power tubes in electric guitar amplifiers and hi-fi audio systems. Known for its distinctive sweet tonal qualities, the 6V6 is favored by many musicians and audio engineers. The maximum plate power dissipation of the 6V6 is around 14 to 20 watts, depending on the specific variant, which makes it versatile for various setups. Its robust frequency response allows it to handle both clean and overdriven tones effectively, making it an ideal choice for guitar players seeking to achieve a unique sound signature.

All three tubes showcase advancements in thermionic technology, providing excellent reliability and performance. They each have distinct electrical characteristics, such as differing gain levels and power handling capabilities, allowing engineers and designers to select the appropriate tube based on the specific requirements of the audio circuit. Despite the advent of solid-state technologies, these vacuum tubes continue to enjoy popularity in the realms of vintage audio, guitar amplification, and specialized communications equipment, showcasing their enduring legacy and appeal within the industry.
