INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED RATING PLATE
This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the top cavity 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.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. The cooling fan may operate after a time when the fan oven is in use. This will depend on the temperature setting and the length of time the oven has been in use.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched on. The neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will turn on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained. If the neons do 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.
GENERAL NOTES APPLIANCE
ON
USING
YOUR
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 � 15 o minutes at 220 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.
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.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. 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, including the vent at the rear of the hob. For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
