THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
Your appliance has a cooling fan fitted behind the controls to prevent them from overheating. The cooling fan will come on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when the oven is in use.
The cooling fan may run on after the oven or grill is turned off for a period of time to cool the appliance down. It may continue to switch on and off until the appliance is cool.
Always allow the cooling fan to cool
the appliance down before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.
NOTE
The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the oven or grill has been used and at what temperature. It may not run on where the grill or oven has only been used for a short time.
Do not stand too close to the grill or oven when in use as warm air will exhaust from the grill cavity and oven vents.
LOCATION
All gas ovens require adequate ventilation. The room the oven is fitted in must have a good air supply that meets the standard BS 5440 Part 2 (current edition). Your installer will tell you if you are not sure.
The oven may be placed in a kitchen, kitchen/diner or bedsit but not in a bathroom or shower room. It should not be installed in a bedsit smaller than 20m3.
L.P.G. cookers MUST NOT be installed below ground level, i.e. in a basement, or aboard any boat, yacht or other vessel.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
