Rating plate

•This is usually situated on the front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening either the main or top oven door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable).

•The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.

•The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.

•Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.

Preparing to use your appliance

•Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth using hot soapy water. Wash the furniture before use.

•We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum temperature, to burn off any residue from their surfaces. Accessible parts may become hotter than in normal use. Children should be kept away. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

The cooling fan for the controls

•The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill/top oven is switched on and after a short time when the main oven is in use. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled.

•During the initial period the cooling fan may turn on and off, this is quite normal.

WARNING!

•When food is heated it produces steam

similar to boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the door(s) allow any build up of steam 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 foodstuff from surfaces.

•For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

Cookware

•Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.
