BEFORE USING THE COOKER
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
The timer must be set to manual operation before the fan oven can be operated. This must be done whenever the cooker is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure. For instructions on how to set the timer see page 11.
If the Fan oven indicator neon does not glow when the oven controls are switched on, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.
The Convenience Oven and the Dual Grill are not controlled by the electronic timer.
RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers of your cooker on the back page of this instruction book for future reference. You can find these numbers on the rating plate on the front frame of the cooker upon opening the top 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.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR
COOKER
Wipe over the base of the ovens with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven furniture before use.
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 ovens at 220°C for approximately 45 minutes. During this period an unpleasant odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the cooker when opening the oven doors 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 occurring, regularly wipe away condensation and any soilage from the cooker surfaces.
