BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the 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
and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before
use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for
10 – 15 minutes at 220
o
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.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on after a short time when the
hob, grill/top oven and 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.
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.
TOUCH CONTROL SENSORS
This appliance is operated using touch control
sensors. Functions are controlled by touching sensor
fields and confirmed by displays and acoustic
signals. Touch the sensor fields from above, without
covering other sensor fields.
SWITCHING THE HOB ON/OFF
The hob must be switched on before setting any
cooking function or programme. When the on/off
touch sensor ( ) is pressed and held, the hotplate
settings will show in the electronic display.
To switch off the hob, you can press and hold the
on/off touch sensor ( ) at any time. Any cooking
functions or programme will stop.
After switching on, within approximately 10 seconds
a heat setting or function must be set, otherwise the
appliance automatically switches itself off.
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 also soilage 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.
