timer or remote control system.

Do not use this appliance if it is in

contact with water. Never operate it

with wet hands.

This appliance is designed to be

operated by adults. Young children

must not be allowed to tamper with

the appliance or play with the

controls.

During use the appliance becomes

Hot. Care should be taken to avoid

touching the heating elements inside

the oven.

CAUTION: Accessible parts may

be hot when the grill is in use.

Young children should be kept

away.

Take great care when heating fats

and oils, as they will ignite if they

become too hot.

This appliance has been designed for

cooking edible foodstuffs only, and

must not be used for any other

purposes.

Never place plastic or any other

material which may melt in the oven

or on the hob.

Ensure cooking utensils are large

enough to contain foods to prevent

spillages and boil overs.

The handles of saucepans which are

smaller than the heated area on the

hob will become hot. Ensure your

hand is protected before handling the

pan.

SAFET

Take care to follow the

recommendations given for tending

the food when grilling.

Do not leave the handle in position

when grilling as it will become hot.

Always use oven gloves to remove

and replace the grill pan handle when

grilling.

Recommendations given on page 16.

Ensure that all vents are left

unobstructed to ensure ventilation of

the oven cavity.

Ensure the anti-tilt shelves are put in

place correctly. Refer to instructions

on pages 18 and 20.

Never line any part of the appliance

with foil. Do not allow heatproof

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

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.

INSTALLATION

If your appliance has been damaged in transit,

contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt

to install it.

Your appliance 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 appliance

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

barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance 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 in all poles. The cable

must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-

sectional area to prevent overheating and

deterioration.

The recommended cross-section area is six square

millimetres (6.00mm2).

The cable should be routed away from potentially hot

areas marked by an ‘X’ in the diagram below.

To move the appliance, open the main oven door,

and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the

oven compartment.

This is a type X appliance, which means it is free-

standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one or

both sides.

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 the sides of the

appliance is required to enable the appliance 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.

Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate

level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering

should not obscure this 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

appliance to accommodate uneven floors.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR

APPLIANCE

We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –

15 minutes at 220oC 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 oven is vented to allow some of

this 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.

For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the

appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched

on.

The neons also indicate when the set temperature

has been reached. They will turn on and off during

use to show that the 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 re-set following the

instructions for the required setting.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

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 turn

on and off until the appliance 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 turn on and

off after the control knobs have been switched off,

until the appliance has cooled. Do not switch the

appliance off at its power point until the fan has

cooled the appliance down.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of grill/oven furniture have been

supplied with the appliance:

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

1 straight shelf

for grilling and

top oven cooking only

2 straight shelves

for main oven cooking

Scuffing of the Stayclean panel/s by the oven

furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks

will disappear after the oven elements have been

burnt off for the first time.
