INTRODUCTION
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE OVEN
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 for 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.
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.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when the oven is in use. It runs on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the initial period the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.
Do not switch the appliance off at its power point until the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON
The light indicates whether the oven is switched ON. The neon also indicates when the set temperature has been reached.
If the neon does not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and
TO USE THE MINUTE MINDER
To use the Minute Minder turn the control knob to the required time.
The Minute Minder, when set, will mark the end of a timed period with an acoustic alarm. The maximum timing is 120 minutes.
TIMER
Please Note: the longer the set time duration, the longer the acoustic alarm will sound.
The Minute Minder will not affect in any way the oven operation, if it is in use.
