WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
The oven has a 24 hour clock. When the oven is first
switched on at the wall the oven lights may illuminate
momentarily and the electronic display will
automatically show 0.00, and the 'Time' neon will
also flash.
To set the time of day and use the timer refer to
instructions on page 15.
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower 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.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE
OVENS
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
15 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.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
the 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, 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. Advice on the effect of
different materials and finishes of bakeware is given
in ‘Hints and Tips’ in the appropriate oven section.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
or top oven is switched on and after a short time
when the 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.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the grill or ovens are
switched ON. In the case of the ovens, the
temperature neons also indicate when the set
temperature has been reached. The temperature
neon will go out when the oven has reached the set
temperature. It will turn on and off during cooking to
show that the oven 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 reset following the
instructions for the required setting.
ON/OFF PUSH BUTTON
The oven must be switched on before setting any
cooking function or programme. When the on/off
button is pressed, the neon below symbol will
come on.
To switch off the oven, you can press button at
any time. Any cooking function or programme will
stop, the oven light will switch off and the Main Oven
electronic display will show the time of day only.
OVEN FUNCTION CONTROL PUSH
BUTTONS (MAIN OVEN)

cooking function. Each time you push these buttons
a neon will come on in the Oven Function Display,
showing what cooking function has been chosen.
INCREASE AND DECREASE PUSH
BUTTONS (MAIN OVEN)
Push buttons and allows you to increase or
