Preparing to use your

appliance

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft
cloth and hot soapy water and wash the
furniture before use. We suggest that you
run the oven(s) and grill for 10 – 15 minutes
at maximum temperature, to burn off any
residue from their surfaces. Accessible p arts
may become hotter than in normal use.
Children should be kept away. During this
period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.

Control panel indicator

neon(s)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill
(where applicable) or oven(s) is switched on.
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on
and off during use to show that the setting is
being maintained. If the neon does not
operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set. Return
all controls to zero and reset following the
instructions for the required setting.

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam
similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow
some of this steam to escape.
However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the door( s) 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.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of
the appliance should be securely fixed to the
wall.

Cookware

Baking trays, 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.
