BEFORE USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
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, the 'Time' ( 
) neon will also flash.
To set the time of day and use the timer refer to instructions on page 8.
Rating plate
This is situated on the lower front frame of the oven and can be seen upon opening the main cavity door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (Where applicable).
The oven must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the oven is given on the rating plate.
The rating plate must not be removed from the oven front frame as this may invalidate the guarantee.
Preparing to use your oven
Clean 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
During this period an 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 be released. 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.
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.
Do not place bakeware directly on the second oven base when the oven is on as damage to the oven enamel and bakeware will occur.
