Recommendations

RATING PLATE

Record the model, product and serial numbers on the

back cover of this instruction book, from the rating

plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the

appliance and can be seen upon opening the top

oven door.

The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated

fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is

given on the rating plate.

The rating plate must not be removed from the

oven front frame as this may invalidate the

guarantee.

INSTALLATION

If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact

your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install

it.

Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect

it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging

and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot

accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for

advice.

Once the packaging has been removed the cooker

should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack

barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage

may occur.

Connection to the electricity supply must be carried

out by a qualified electrician/competent person.

The electrical connection should be made using a

double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at

least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have

conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to

prevent overheating and deterioration.

The cable should be routed away from potentially hot

areas marked by X in the diagram below.

To move the cooker, open the main oven door and

lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the

compartment.

This is a type X appliance which means it is

free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one

or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.

Side walls which are above hob level should be

protected by heat resistant non-combustible material

and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob

side.

A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side of the cooker

is required to enable the cooker to be moved into

position. It is recommended that proprietary trims are

fitted to protect the worktops of either side of the

appliance. These are available from most DIY stores.

Aways ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate

level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering

should not obscure this gap.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

INTRODUCTION

Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended

cross-section area.

Air gap

Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a

minimum of 685mm above the hob.

It is important to ensure that the appliance is level

after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the front

of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR

COOKER

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

this steam to escape between the wall and the rear

of the appliance. 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.

For your safety, wall coverings at the rear of the

appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

OVEN INDICATOR NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched

on. The neons also indicate when the set

temperature has been reached. They will cycle on

and off during use to show that the temperature is

being maintained.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROL

The cooling fan will always come on when the grill

and the top oven are switched on. If they are only

used for a short period of time the fan will switch off

when the controls are turned off. If the grill or the top

oven are used for a longer period of time the fan will

run on depending on the temperature, and may cycle

on and off until the cooker has cooled.

In the case of the main oven the cooling fan may not

switch on except when used for a longer period of

time. The cooling fan may run on, and cycle on and

off after the control knobs have been switched off,

until the cooker has cooled. Do not switch the cooker

off at its power point until the fan has cooled the

cooker down.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of oven furniture have been

supplied with the cooker:

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

1 straight shelf for

grilling and top oven

cooking only
