PREPARING TO USE YOUR
APPLIANCE
Wipe the base of the ovens with a soft cloth
and some hot soapy water and wash the grill
and oven furniture before use. The grill and
ovens should be heated without food to burn off
any residue from the grill and oven surfaces. To
do this run the oven at Gas Mark 7 for
approximately 10 - 15 minutes. The procedure
should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an unpleasant odour may be
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a
window for ventilation.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens
are vented to allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the oven doors 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 occurring, regularly
wipe away condensation and any soilage from
the appliance surfaces.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed
over the oven burner. This will damage the
oven as well as the ovenware.
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.
Advice on the effect of different materials and
finishes of bakeware is given in 'Hints and Tips'
in the appropriate oven section.
If using a baking tray larger than 30cm x 25cm
(12" x 9") in the top oven you may need to turn
it round during cooking.
