BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
 
 
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the 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) for 10 – 15 
minutes at 
maximum temperature,
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. 
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the 
grill/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. 
 
 
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
Main oven
- Do not
use baking trays larger than
30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”) as they will restrict the 
circulation of heat and may affect performance.
