(see back cover).
Slight odour or small amount
of smoke when using the
cooker for the first time.
Marks appearing on hotplates.
Can not clean hob / hotplates.
Grill not working.
Condensation on the wall at
the rear of the cooker.
Steam / condensation in the
oven after use.
Steam and/or condensation may appear from the
vent at the rear of the appliance when using an oven,
particularly for foods with a high water content e.g.
frozen chips, roast chicken etc. This is normal and
any excess should be wiped off.
Steam is a by-product of cooking any food with a
high water content. To help minimise always:
a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after
being cooked.
b) Use a covered container, wherever possible.
Grill will not work unless the Grill door is in the grill
position (see grilling section of this book).
The hob surround can be cleaned with warm soapy
water and a cream cleaner, such as Cif.
The sealed hotplates should be cleaned regularly
(Please refer to Care and Cleaning section for
further information)
Please note that replacement hob cleaning kits are
available from our Parts department, under part
number: 6400001
