Tricity Bendix DEVON Oven User Manual


 
RATING PLATE
Record the model and serial numbers of your cooker
on the back cover of this instruction book. These
numbers can be found on the lower front frame of the
cooker upon opening the oven door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is
given on the rating plate.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE
OVENS
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short
period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
During this period an unpleasant odour may be
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window
for ventilation.
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
( Dorset only )
When first switched on, the timer will make an
audible sound. To stop the sound press both timer
buttons together.
This must be done whenever the cooker has been
switched off at the wall or when there has been a
power failure. See page 17 for further information
about setting the time of day and use of the minute
minder.
( Devon only )
The timer must be set for manual cooking before the
oven will operate. See page 19 for details on how to
set the timer.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the cooker when opening the oven door 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 cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm
(12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
is switched on and after a short time when the ovens
are in use. It may run on after the controls are
switched off until the cooker has cooled. During the
initial period the cooling fan may cycle ON and OFF,
this is quite normal.
Do not switch off the cooker at its power point before
the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens or grill are
switched ON. In the case of the oven, the neon also
indicates when the set temperature has been
reached.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and reset following the
instructions for the required setting.
(Devon only)
When the oven is set for automatic cooking the neon
remains unlit during OFF periods.
