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. T he 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 vente d
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 th e 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 fa ult on
the appliance.
To prevent discolouration occurring, regularly wi pe
away condensation and any soilage from the
appliance surfaces.
