The cooling fan
The cooling fan comes on immediately the top oven or
grill is switched on. It may run on after the ovens are
switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the
cooling down period the cooling fan may switch on and
off.
Warning! Always allow the cooling fan to cool the
appliance down before switching off the electrical
supply to carry out cleaning or maintenance.
Control panel indicator neon(s)
The indicator neon will operate when the 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 main-
tained. 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 discoloration, regularly wipe away condensa-
tion 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.
Setting the Time
The oven only operates when the time has been set.
1. When the appliance is connected to the electrical
supply or when there has been a power cut, Time
flashes automatically.
2. Using the or button, set the current time.
3. After approx. 5 seconds, the clock stops flashing and
the clock displays the time of day set.
The appliance is now ready to use.
Initial Cleaning
Before using the oven for the first time you should clean
it thoroughly.
Warning! Do not use any caustic, abrasive cleaners!
The surface could be damaged.
To clean metal fronts use commercially available
cleaning agents.
1. Turn the oven function switch to oven lighting .
2. Remove all accessories and the shelf support rails
and wash them with warm water and washing up liq-
uid.
3. Then wash out the oven with warm water and wash-
ing-up liquid, and dry.
4. Wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth.
Operation
The top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated
by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is de-
signed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives
especially good results if used to cook fruitcakes, sweet
and savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is ideal for use as a warming compartment.
It can be used to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the
lowest setting on the top oven temperature control.
Warning! Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as
damage to the glass may occur.
