Installation and Operation Guide


When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door
open for longer than necessary – otherwise, the
control knobs may become very hot.
Cooking high moisture content
foods can create a ‘steam burst’
when the oven door is opened.
When opening the oven stand
well back and allow any steam to
disperse.
ArtNo.324-0001 Steam burst

DO NOT drop or rest objects on the door glass.
Although the glass is very strong, a sharp blow or a
falling object might cause the glass surface to crack
or break.

DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.

Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains,
and ammable liquids a safe distance away from
your cooker.

DO NOT store ammable materials in the storage
tray or in the vicinity of this unit

DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker
while it is on.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves
might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove – it
might catch re if brought into contact with a hot surface.

NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.

DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings
or the oven roof.

DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate
covers of any description. These may aect the safe
use of your hotplate burners and are potentially
hazardous to health.

NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make the containers burst and cause
injury.

DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure
that you position the handles away from the edge of
the hotplate.

DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that
overlap the edges.
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings.
Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on re. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.

WARNING! Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or
oil can be dangerous and may result in re.

NEVER leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat
slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should
be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full
of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you
use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them
together before heating, or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods when frying
at high or medium high temperatures. Never try to move a
pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is
cool.
Do not use the top of the ue (the slot along the back of
the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or
softening butter.
DO NOT use water on grease res and never pick up a
aming pan. Turn the controls o and then smother
a aming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan
completely with a well tting lid or baking tray. If
available, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
re extinguisher.

Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.

In normal use, the cooling fan will operate when the
oven or grill are in use. Should a fault occur with the
fan switch o the cooker immediately and contact
your installer or service.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate cooking;
others may break because of the sudden change in
temperature.

This appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.

The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of external timer or separated remote-control
system.
Cooker Care
As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer
trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe
away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by
cooking vapours.
Cleaning
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the cooker should be
kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food
stu could result in a re.
Clean only the parts listed in this guide.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
