BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
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. 
PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth and 
hot soapy water and wash the furniture before use. 
We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill for 10 – 
15 minutes at maximum temperature, to burn off any 
residue from their surfaces. Accessible parts may 
become hotter than in normal use. Children should be 
kept away. During this period an odour may be 
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for 
ventilation. 
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the 
grill/second 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 NEON(S)
The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where 
applicable) or 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 maintained. 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 discolouration, regularly wipe away 
condensation and also soilage 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.
