Tricity Bendix BS 621/2 - Manual (Page 15)

RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the
back cover of this instruction book from the rating
plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the
cooker and can be seen upon opening the oven
door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is
given on the rating plate.
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short
period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
To do this, run the oven at 220°C for approximately
45 minutes. The procedure should be repeated with
the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an unpleasant odour may be
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window
for ventilation.
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
The timer must be set to manual before the oven can
be operated. See page 17. This must be done
whenever the cooker is switched off at the wall or
when there has been a power failure.
If the oven indicator neon does not glow when the
controls are switched on, it is most likely that the
timer is set for automatic cooking.
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 cooker 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 cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker.
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 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 cycle ON
and OFF, this is quite normal.
It runs on after the controls are switched off until the
appliance has cooled. If an automatic programme
has been set, the cooling fan does not come on until
the cooktime begins.
Do not switch off the cooker at its power point before
the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON
This light indicates whether the oven is switched ON.
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 reset following the
instructions for the required setting.
When the oven is set for automatic cooking the neon
should remain unlit during OFF periods.
