RATING PLATE 
This is situated on the lower 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. 
 
PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE 
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth 
and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before 
use. 
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. 
 
 
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON 
The oven has a 24 hour clock.  When the oven is first 
switched on at the wall the electronic display will 
automatically show 12.00, and the Time indicator 
neon (     ) will also flash. 
 
 
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS 
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill 
is switched on and after a short time when the oven 
is in use.  It runs on after the controls are switched off 
until the appliance has cooled.  During the initial 
period the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is 
quite normal. 
 
 
Always allow the cooling fan to cool the 
appliance down before switching off at the 
wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or 
maintenance work. 
  
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S) 
The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where 
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on.  The indicator 
neon will glow.  It may turn on and off during use to 
show that the setting is being maintained.  If the neon 
does not operate as the instructions indicate the 
controls have been incorrectly set.  Return all 
controls to zero and reset following the instructions 
for the required setting. 
 
 
CONDENSATION AND STEAM 
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a 
boiling kettle.  The vents allow some of this steam to 
escape. However, always stand back from the 
appliance when opening the door(s) 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. 
 
 
COOKWARE 
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed 
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back 
of the oven. 
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm 
(12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat 
and may affect performance.   
 
HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND 
PREPARING FOOD 
Care must be taken when handling foods in the 
home.  Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene 
to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross 
contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking, 
cooling, defrosting and freezing foods:- 
1.  Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you 
cannot store them straight away.  The use of an 
insulated container when shopping is advisable. 
2.  When you arrive home, place perishable foods in 
the refrigerator or freezer immediately.  Ensure 
they are well covered to prevent them drying out 
and to prevent any possible cross contamination 
with bacteria from raw to cooked foods. 
3.  In the kitchen keep work tops, chopping boards 
and utensils clean with hot soapy water between 
preparation stages.  Ideally, keep one chopping 
board for raw meat and another for other foods.  
Keep your dish cloths and tea towels clean.

1.  HOW TO SET THE TIME OF DAY 
The oven has a 24 hour clock. 
When the electricity supply is first switched ON, the 
display will show 12.00 and the Time (      ) indicator 
neon will flash as Fig. 1. 
To set the correct time press the increase control 
button ( + ) and if necessary, the decrease control 
button ( - ) until the correct time on the 24 hour clock

indicator neon will flash for 5 seconds and then go 
out. 
 
Note: The increase and decrease control buttons 
operate slowly at first, and then more rapidly.  
They should be pressed separately. 
 
2.  HOW TO SET THE COUNTDOWN 
The Countdown gives an audible reminder at the 
end of any period of cooking.  This cooking period 
may be  up to 2 hrs 30 mins.  It is not part of the 
automatic control. 
To set, press the Selector Control button (       ) until 
the Countdown indicator neon is illuminated (     ) 
the display reads 0.00 as Fig.3. 
To set the correct time duration depress the increase 
control ( + ) until the display indicates the interval to 
be timed, e.g. 1hr 45 mins as Fig. 4.  If necessary 
depress the decrease control ( - ) to achieve the 
correct time interval.

CONTROL 
The main oven only can be automatically timed. 
When using the timer control for the very first time, it 
is advisable to let it operate while you are at home.  
The displays can be checked to show that it is
