Your new dual fuel cooker is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has

To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.
The appliance is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other

INTRODUCTION
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat the empty oven to maximum temperature for a minimum of two to three hours, keeping
the door closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (eg. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may
be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased.
This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
Note: When the oven is first used, an odour may be omitted - this will cease after a short period of use.

(a) Has been used solely in accordance with this booklet.

appliance.
(c) Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or repaired by any person other than the
