INTRODUCTION
Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time cause discoloration of wall coverings behind the appliance. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the appliance.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE OVEN
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5
During this period an 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 the steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance 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 appliance, 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 air vent at the rear of the hob.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled.
The cooling fan may operate after a time when the fan oven is in use. This will depend on the temperature setting and the length of time the oven has been in use.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched ON.
The neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will turn 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 reset following the instructions for the required setting.
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.
