INTRODUCTION

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance 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 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.

We suggest that you run all the elements for a short period to burn off any residue from their surfaces. To do this, run the ovens at 220°C for approximately 45 minutes. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.

During this period an unpleasant odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE OVENS

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The timer must be set to manual before the ovens can be operated. See page 32. This must be done whenever the appliance is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure.

If the oven indicator neons do not glow when the controls are switched on, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.

ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. 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. Advice on the effect of different materials and finishes of bakeware is given in 'Hints and Tips' in the appropriate oven section.

THE SHELF POSITIONS

Recommended shelf positions have been shown in the cooking chart on page 27.

If not fitted correctly the shelf will lie at an angle and the safety stop will not be effective. To ensure that the shelf has the correct side uppermost, the wire stringers which make up the shelf should lie on top of the surrounding frame.
