Tricity Bendix SI 535 Cooktop User Manual


 
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the front
of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
REVERSIBLE MAIN OVEN DOOR
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the
opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified
Service Engineer. See page 34 for your nearest
Service Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will
be made.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short
period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
To do this, run the ovens at 220°C for approximately
45 minutes. The procedure should be repeated with
the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an unpleasant 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 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.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
POP IN POP OUT CONTROL KNOBS
These control knobs can remain flush with the
control panel when not in use, or pushed and
released to stand out from the panel for easy
operation.
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. If an automatic programme has been set the
cooling fan does not switch on until the cook time
begins.
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 only been used for a short time or at
low temperatures. Do not switch the cooker off at
the power point, until the fan has cooled the cooker
down.
THE SHELF POSITIONS
Recommended shelf positions have been shown in
the cooking charts on pages 22 and 26.
Bulk cooking with even spacing can be achieved
using three shelves at any one time, e.g. position 1
straight, position 3 straight and position 5 straight.
It is important that the shelves are fitted right
side uppermost and are between the wirework
side runners.
If not fitted correctly the shelf will lie at an angle and
the safety stop will not be effective. To ensure that
the shelf has the correct side uppermost, the wire
stringers which make up the shelf should lie on top of
the surrounding frame.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on. The neons also indicate when the set
temperature has been reached. They will cycle on
and off during use to show that the temperature is
being maintained. 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. When the oven has been
set for automatic cooking the neon should remain
unlit until the cook time begins.
