Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the cooker.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the cooker is level after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the front of the cooker to accommodate uneven floors.
REVERSIBLE OVEN DOOR
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified Service Engineer. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will be made. See the enclosed Customer Care Booklet.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR COOKER
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.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The ovens 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 appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces including the vent at the rear of the hob. See note at the top of this page.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the cooker should be securely fixed to the wall.
PUSH TO TURN CONTROLS
These control knobs have been specially designed so they cannot be accidentally operated. The control knob must be pushed in towards the panel before it can be turned or adjusted.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens or grill are switched on. In the case of the ovens, the neon also indicates when the set temperature has been reached. The neon will cycle on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and
When the oven has been set for automatic cooking the neon should remain unlit during OFF periods.
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.
