Ensure that all packaging, both inside and outside the appliance, has been removed before the appliance is used. Do not try to move the appliance by pulling the door handles.
Ensure that all vents are left unobstructed to ensure ventilation of the oven cavity. Ensure that the anti-tilt shelves are put in place correctly. Refer to instructions on page 16. Never line any part of the cooker with aluminium foil. Do not allow heatproof cooking material, e.g. roasting bags to come into contact with oven elements. Always stand back from the cooker when opening the oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door.
