When the oven is first installed
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 is switched
on and after a short time when the oven is in use. It runs 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
Always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down
before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
Control panel indicator
neon(s)
The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on.
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use
to show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon does
not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been
incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and reset following
the instructions for the required setting.
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.
On/Off push button
The oven must be switched on before setting any cooking
function or programme. When the on/off button is pressed,
the cavity symbol will show in the main oven electronic display.
To switch off the oven, you can press the on/off button at
any time. Any cooking function or programme will stop, the
oven light will switch off and the main oven electronic display
will show the time of day only.
Oven function control push
buttons (main oven)
Press the main oven function selector button to allow you to
select the cooking function. Each time you press this button a
symbol will come on in the main oven electronic display,
showing what cooking function has been chosen.
