Cooling fan
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled through vents between the oven door and the control panel, as shown in the diagram.
The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched off to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.
Before the First Use
Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven, before using the appliance.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.
1. Light the gas oven burner (see “Using the Gas Oven”) and set the temperature to 240.
2.Open a window for ventilation.
3.Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 60 - 90 minutes.
Using the Oven
•Always cook with the oven door closed.
• Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the door using the door handle, until it is fully open.
•The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied withtwoshelves.Theshelfpositionsarecounted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are correctly positioned.
•Attention! - Do not place objects directly on the oven base and do not cover it with aluminium foil while cooking, as this could cause a heat
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the oven 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 oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
