PREPARING YOUR APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Please wipe out the oven interior prior to operation with warm soapy water and polish dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not close the oven door until the oven is completely dry.

New appliances can have an odour during first operation. It is recommended to ‘run in’ your oven before you cook for the first time. Run the oven at

180ºC for 2-4 hours and ensure that the room is well ventilated.

DO NOT line the oven with foil, it will damage the enamel.

If your appliance is fitted with a 2-hour “Auto Off” timer, make sure it is set to the ‘O’ marker for manual operation.

If your appliance is fitted with solid hotplates,

turn heat setting to high for 3 minutes to fully harden the coating. When cooled, apply a thin coating of cooking oil to seal the surface.
