Your cooker has a cooling fan fitted behind the
controls to prevent them from overheating.
The cooling fan will come on immediately when
the top oven or grill is switched on and after a
short time when the main oven is in use.
The cooling fan may run on after the ovens or
grill are turned off for a period of time to cool
the cooker down. It may continue to switch on
and off until the cooker is cool.
NOTE
The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the ovens or grill have been used and
at what temperature. It may not run on where
the grill or oven has only been used for a short
time.
LOCATION
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.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
Always allow the cooling fan to cool
the cooker down before switching off
at the wall prior to carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
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.
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.
