Before using the appliance
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 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 and hot soapy water
and 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.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces
steam similar 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 also
soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the
rear of the appliance should be
securely fixed to the wall.
