Before using the appliance
Rating plate
• This is usually situated on the front frame of
the appliance and can be seen upon opening
either the main or top oven door.
Alternatively the rating plate may also be
found on the back or top of some models
(where applicable).
• The appliance must be protected by a
suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.
• The rating of the appliance is given on the
rating plate.
• Do not remove the rating plate from the
appliance as this may invalidate the
guarantee.
Preparing to use your appliance
• Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft
cloth using hot soapy water. Wash the
furniture before use.
• We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill
for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum
temperature, to burn off any residue from
their surfaces. Accessible parts may become
hotter than in normal use. Children should be
kept away. During this period an odour may
be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a
window for ventilation.
The cooling fan for the controls
• The cooling fan comes on immediately when
the grill/top oven is switched on and after a
short time when the main oven is in use. It
may run on after the controls are switched
off until the appliance has cooled.
• During the initial period the cooling fan may
turn on and off, this is quite normal.
WARNING!
Condensation and steam
• When food is heated it produces steam
similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow
some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the appliance when
opening the door(s) 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 appliance, 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 discolouration, regularly wipe
away condensation and foodstuff from
surfaces.
• For your safety wall coverings at the rear of
the appliance should be securely fixed to the
wall.
Cookware
• Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x
30cm (12” x 12”) as they will restrict the
circulation of heat and may affect
performance.
