INTRODUCTION

To get the best out of your new oven, please read through these instructions carefully before using it for the first time. Pay particular attention to the safety measures. We also recommend that you keep the instructions for future reference, so that you can remind yourself of the functions of the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY MEASURES

•The oven may only be used for its original purpose, i.e. for preparing food for domestic purposes.

•The oven is for indoor use only.

•Do not use the oven if the cord or plug is damaged, if it is not functioning properly, or if it has been damaged by a heavy impact or similar.

•Do not use the oven if there are cleaning agent residues inside it.

•Keep an eye on any children in the vicinity of the oven when it is in use.

•Never try to repair it yourself.

•If the oven, cord or plug needs to be repaired, it should be taken to an authorised service centre. If the oven is subjected to unauthorised repairs, the guarantee will become void. Contact your retailer if the repairs fall under the terms of the guarantee.

Positioning the oven

•The oven should be placed on a flat surface, with clearance of at least 7-8 cm from the sides of the oven (including rear and top) to ensure sufficient ventilation. This oven is not suitable for fitting in, and you must check that the vent holes on top of the cabinet are not covered. If they are covered while the oven is in use, there is a risk of it overheating.

•Do not place the oven next to hot areas, for example gas rings and electric hotplates.

•The oven should not be placed on untreated wood surfaces, as it may damage them.

Fire hazard!

To reduce the risk of fire occurring in the oven space, please note the following points:

•Do not cook food for too long or at too high a temperature, and do not leave the oven unattended if it is hot, and baking parchment, foil or other flammable materials have been used in the oven.

•If materials in the oven catch fire, leave the door closed. Switch the oven off immediately, and remove the plug from the wall socket.

PREPARING THE OVEN

Each individual oven is checked at the factory, but for safety’s sake, after unpacking the oven, you should check carefully that it has not been damaged during transport. Check whether there is any visible damage (e.g. in the form of dents or similar), if the door closes properly, and if the hinges are in order. If it appears that the oven has been damaged, you must contact the shop where you bought it, and do not use it until it has been checked by an authorised specialist.

•You should check before installation that all packaging and transport materials have been removed from the oven both inside and outside.

•Ensure that the oven is positioned correctly (see the safety measures above).

•Plug in.

The heating elements were oiled during manufacture and these will therefore smoke slightly when the oven is first used. This is entirely safe and will stop after a few minutes.

However, so that the food does not taste of this smoke, we recommend that you take the following action before using the oven for the first time:

•Leave the oven door ajar.

•Set the function selector so both the top and bottom heating elements are active.

•Set the oven temperature to 250° C, and leave it on for 15 minutes.

The smoke will now have completely disappeared, and you can use the oven to cook food.
