INTRODUCTION
RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers of your cooker on the back cover of this instruction book. These numbers can be found on the lower front frame of the cooker upon opening the oven door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on the rating plate.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE OVEN
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
To do this, run the oven at 220°C for approximately 45 minutes. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an unpleasant 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 oven are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the cooker 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 cooker, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker.
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 the oven is in use. It runs on after the controls are switched off until the cooker has cooled. During the initial period the cooling fan may cycle ON and OFF, this is quite normal.
Do not switch off the cooker at its power point before the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON
This light indicates whether the oven is switched ON. The neon also indicates when the set temperature has been reached.
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.
