Accessible parts may be hot
when the oven is used. Young
children should be kept away.
To turn on the top oven
Turn the top oven / grill control knob
to the required temperature setting.
The red thermostat indicator (if fitted)
will come on until the selected temper-
ature is reached and then go off; it
will turn on and off periodically as
the thermostat operates to maintain
the selected temperature.
To switch off, return the control knob
to the “off” position.
Notes:
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven(s). When opening the oven
door, care should be taken to avoid
any possible contact with potentially
hot air, since this may cause discom-
fort to people with sensitive skin. We
recommend that you hold the under-
neath of the oven door handle.
Important: Never put items directly
on the base of the oven with foil, as this
may cause the element to overheat.
Always position items on the shelf.
Caution: The top element gets
extremely hot when in use, so take
extra care to avoid touching it.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled foods, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time - this
will take up to 20 minutes depending
on the temperature selected.
If you are not preheating the oven,
the cooking times in the baking guide
may need to be extended, as they are
based on a preheated oven.
The cooling fan
When the top oven or grill is switched
on, you will hear the cooling fan come
on - this keeps the fascia and control
knobs of the appliance cool during
cooking or grilling only.
The fan will continue to operate for a
period after the oven control has been
switched off.
Should any fault occur with the cooling
fan, the appliance will need to be
serviced - contact Customer Care.
