Candy TCP21 - User Manual

When the oven is first switched on it may give out acrid smelling fumes. This is because the
bonding agent for insulating panels around the oven has been heated up for the first time.
This is a completely normal, if it does occur you merely have to wait for the fumes to clear before
putting the food into the oven.
An oven by its very nature becomes very hot. Especially the glass of the oven door.
Do not allow children to go near the oven when it is hot, especially when the grill is on.
All accessible parts are hot when the oven is in operation, take care to not touch these
elements.
A specially designed protector shield (some models only) which reduces considerably the surface
temperature of the oven door can be obtained through our service organization. This shield is
recommended for households with young children.
