Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time
cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the
cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable
to tile behind the cooker.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be
a minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the cooker is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10
– 15 minutes at 220
o
C to burn off any residue from
their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated
with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is 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.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
cooker should be securely fixed to the wall.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
The cooling fan operates immediately when the
grill or top oven is switched on. It may run on after
the controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled.
Note: The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the top oven or grill have been used and
at what temperature. It may not run on where the
grill or top oven has been used for a short time or
at low temperatures. Do not switch the cooker off
at its power point until the cooling fan has cooled
the cooker down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the grill or ovens are
switched on.
In the case of the ovens, the neons also indicate
when the set temperature has been reached. They
will turn on and off during use to show that the
temperature is being maintained.
The grill indicator neon may turn on and off during
use.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and re-set following the
instructions for the required setting.
When the main oven has been set for automatic
cooking the neon will remain unlit until the
cooktime begins.
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.
