Switching the oven on/off
• The oven must be switched on before setting
any cooking function or programme. When
the on/off touch sensor
is pressed and
held, the cavity symbol will show in the
electronic display.
• To switch off the oven, you can press and
hold the on/off touch sensor
at any time.
Any cooking functions or programme will
stop, the oven light will switch off and the
electronic display will show the time of day
only.
• After switching on, within approximately 10
seconds a heat setting or function must be
set, otherwise the appliance automatically
switches itself off.
Operating time
• The operating time display shows how long
the oven has been operating. This display
can only be seen if none of the clock
functions Countdown, Cook Time or End
Time are set.
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
• Baking trays, 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.
