WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
The timer must be set to manual operation bef ore the
main fan oven can be operated. This must be done
whenever the appliance is switched off at the wall or
when there has been a power failure. For
instructions on how to set the timer see page 9.
If the main fan oven indicator neon does not glow
when the oven controls are switched on, it is most
likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.
The Top Oven and the Dual grill are not controlled by
the electronic timer.
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance 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.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE
Wipe over the base of the ovens with a soft cloth and
hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven furniture
before use.
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from
their surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill f or
approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
During this period and odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented
to allow some of this steam to escape. Ho wever,
always stand back from the appliance when ope ning
the oven doors to allow any build up of steam or heat
to be released. 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 f ault on
the appliance.
To prevent discolouration occurring, regularl y wipe
away condensation and any soilage from the
appliance surfaces.
