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.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
OVEN
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.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle does. The oven is vented to
allow some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the appliance 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 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.
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.
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.
During the initial period the cooling fan may turn ON
and OFF, this is quite normal.
Do not switch off the appliance at its power point
before the cooling fan has cooled the appliance
down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON
The light indicates whether the grill or oven is
switched ON. In the case of the oven, the neon also
indicates when the set temperature has been
reached.
If the neon does 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.
