Before first use

Rating plate

• This is situated on the lower front frame of
the appliance and can be seen upon opening
the 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 suita-
bly 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 guar-
antee.

Preparing to use your

appliance

• Carefully check whether there is any dam-
age after you unpack the appliance. If there
is any defect; do not use the appliance and
contact your retailer immediately. As the ma-
terials used for packaging (nylon, stapler,
Styrofoam etc.) may cause harmful effects
to children, they should be collected and re-
moved immediately.
• For your safety wall coverings at the rear of
the appliance should be securely fixed to the
wall.
• Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft
cloth using hot soapy water. Wash the oven
furniture before use.
• We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill
for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum tempera-
ture, to burn off any residue from their sur-
faces. 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.

Control panel indicator neon(s)

• The indicator neon will operate when the grill
(where applicable) or oven(s) is switched on.
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on
and off during use to show that the setting is
being maintained. If the neon does not op-
erate as the instructions indicate the controls
have been incorrectly set. Return all controls
to zero and reset following the instructions
for the required setting.

Condensation and steam

• When food is heated it produces steam simi-
lar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some
of this steam to escape. However, always
stand back from the appliance when opening
the door(s) 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 foodstuff from sur-
faces.
