This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and
can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the

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 f or
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 oven is vented to allow some of this
steam to escape. 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 , including
the vent at the rear of the hob.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or
top oven is switched on. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled.
The cooling fan may operate after a time when the fan
oven is in use. This will depend on the temperature
setting and the length of time the oven has been in
use.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill ( where
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator
neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon
does not operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set. Return all c ontrols
to zero and reset following the instructions for the
required setting.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of
the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12”
x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and
may affect performance.
