Peculiar smells
When you rst use your cooker it may give o an
odour. This should stop after use.
Before using your cooker for the rst time, make
sure that all packing materials have been removed
and then, to dispel manufacturing odours, turn all
the ovens to 200°C and run for at least an hour.
Before using the grill for the rst time you should
also turn on the grill and run for 30 minutes with
the grill pan in position, pushed fully back and the
grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the
outside air (see ‘Ventilation’ below). People with
respiratory or allergy problems should vacate the
area for this brief period.
Ventilation
The use of a cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. Make sure that the kitchen
is well ventilated. Keep natural ventilation holes
open or install a powered cooker hood that vents
outside.
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call
for additional ventilation, for example opening a
window, or more eective ventilation, for example
increasing the level of mechanical ventilation
where present.
Maintenance
• Only a qualied service engineer should
service the appliance and only approved spare
parts should be used. It is recommended that
this appliance is serviced annually.
• Before removing replacing the bulb, turn off
the power supply and make sure that the oven
is cool.
• DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate
that overlap the edges.
• ALWAYS allow the cooker to cool and then
switch it off at the mains before cleaning or
carrying out any maintenance work, unless
specified otherwise in this guide.
• DO NOT use the control knobs to manoeuvre
the cooker.
• NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.
• DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of a glove – it might catch fire if brought
into contact with a hot surface.
• DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate
covers of any description. These may affect
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.
