RATING PLATE

This is situated on the front frame of the appliance
and can be seen upon opening the top cavity 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 either of
the ovens are 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 NEONS

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 re-set following the
instructions for the required setting.

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.
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.
