WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

EARTHED

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen 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.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE

OVENS

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 ovens are 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 O N
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

These lights indicate whether the ovens are
switched ON. The neons also indicate when the set
temperature has been reached.
If the neons do 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.
