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
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 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.
