Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time
cause discoloration 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 cooker to
accommodate uneven floors.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 -
15 minutes at 220°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 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 appliance.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces
including the vent at the rear of the hob. See note
at the top of this page.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the cooker
should be securely fixed to the wall.
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 for
the top oven, the cooling fan does not switch on until
the cooktime begins.
The cooling fan may operate after a time when the
fan oven is in use. This will depend on the
temperature setting and the length of time the oven
has been in use.
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 turn 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 for the required setting.
When the oven has been set for automatic cooking
the neon should remain unlit during OFF periods.
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.
