RATING PLATE

Record the model and serial numbers on the back cover of this instruction book from the rating plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen 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 YOUR OVEN

We suggest that you run all the elements for a short period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.

During this period an unpleasant odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

(BS 611 only)

When the cooker is first switched on at the wall the timer will make an audible sound. To stop the sound press both timer buttons together.

(BS 621 only)

The timer must be set to manual before the oven can be operated. See page 19. This must be done whenever the cooker is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure.

If the oven indicator neon does not glow when the controls are switched on, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.

ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The oven is 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.

During the initial period the cooling fan may cycle ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

It runs on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled BS621 Only - if an automatic programme has been set the cooling fan does not come on until the cook time begins.

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 (BS 621) or grill or oven (BS 611 only) is switched ON. In the case of the oven, 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.

(BS 621 Only)

When the oven is set for automatic cooking the neon should remain unlit during OFF periods.
