GENERAL INFORMATION
RATING PLATE
These numbers can be found on the rating plate on
the lower front frame of the cooker upon opening the
oven door.
The oven must be protected by a suitable rated fuse
or circuit breaker. The rating of the oven is given on
the rating plate.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE OVENS
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short
period, to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
During this period, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. It is therefore advisable to open a window
for ventilation.
Select the Fan ducted and conventional
oven programmes. Select a temperature
of 170°C for approximately 30 mins.on
each programme.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated, it produces steam in the same
way as boiling a kettle. The oven is vented to allow
some of this steam to escape. However, always
stand back from the oven 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 oven, e. g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the oven.
To prevent any discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation any 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, or placed on the oven base. Do not use
baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm (12 in x 14 in)
as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may
affect the performance. Advice on the effect of
different materials and finishes of bakeware is given
in "Hints and Tips" in the appropriate oven section.
(See page 19)
MEAT PAN AND GRID
When grilling and roasting, food can be placed on the
grid in the pan. Fat and meat juices will drain into the
base and can be poured off and used to make gravy.
Important notes:
1) The meat tin should not be placed on a hotplate
as this may cause the enamel to crack.
2) Do not line the meat pan will aluminium foil.
THE COOLING FAN
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the
oven is in use, and switches off when cooking is
completed.
During the initial period, the cooling fan may cycle
ON and OFF. This is quite normal.
It may run on after the oven or grill is switched off to
keep the controls cool.
Always allow the cooling fan to cool the cooker down
completely before switching off at the wall prior to
carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.
NOTE: The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the oven or grill has been used and at what
temperature settings, it may not operate where the
grill or oven has only been used for a short time.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR DISPLAY
This indicates whenever the oven or grill is switched
ON. The display also indicates when the set tempe-
rature has been reached. It will cycle ON and OFF
during use to show that the temperature is being
maintained.
If display indicator does not operate as the
instructions indicate, the controls have been
incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero or switch
off and reset following the instructions for the
required setting.
