CHAPTER 3 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 27

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below.

WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.

With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and yellow:

Blue:

Brown:

Earth

Neutral

Live

If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.

B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instructions provided below:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol 12 or coloured green or green and yellow.

The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.

• When cooking using the convection oven, traditional oven or grill functions, the oven should always be preheated to the set temperature for best results.
• The cooking times depend on the quality of the products, the temperature of the food and individual tastes. The times given in the table are only intended as a guide, and may need to be varied. They do not take into account the time required to preheat the oven.
• When cooking frozen food, follow the recommendations on the package.

2.3 - HOW TO SET THE FUNCTIONS

DEFROSTING

Place the wire rack in guide no. 2 and the dripping pan in guide no. 3, as shown in the figure on page 17.

The food being defrosted should be placed directly on the wire rack.

If this is not possible for practical reasons (such as in the case of minced meat, which once defrosted may fall between the openings in the wire rack), place the food on a dinner plate, and then place the plate on the wire rack (in this case, the dripping pan is not required).

Turn the function selector knob (H) to position . Turn the thermostat knob (E) to position "●".

Turn the ON/OFF and timer knob (G) to the desired time. A bell will ring when defrosting is complete.

CHAPTER 3 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Frequent cleaning will prevent the formation of smoke and bad smells during cooking.

Before performing any cleaning operations, always unplug the appliance from the power socket.

Never immerse the appliance in water; do not wash it by spraying it with water.

The wire rack, dripping pan, crumb tray, lasagne pan (if supplied) and spit (if supplied) are washed like normal dishes, by hand or in the dishwasher.

Always use a damp sponge to clean the outer surface. Avoid using abrasive products that may damage the surface finish (enamel or paint). Make sure water or liquid soap does not infiltrate through the slits on the right-hand side of the oven.

To clean the inside of the oven, never use corrosive products and do not scrape the walls with sharp objects or blades. Only use non-abrasive liquid detergents.

Do not attempt to push forks, knives or sharp objects into the openings on the right-hand side and the rear of the oven.

Remove the crumb tray (M) by pulling it outwards (see Fig. 11). In case of difficulty, wet the outside parts of the tray. Remove any dirt with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly and then put the tray back in place.

To make the inside ceiling of the oven easier to clean, the top heating element (A) needs to be lowered by pulling the heating element hook towards the door (C) (see Figures 12 and 13).

IMPORTANT: after cleaning, fasten the heating element back in place (Fig. 14). The oven must not be used when the heating element is in the lowered position.

OVEN LIGHT

The oven light (B) is always on when the oven is on. To replace the bulb, proceed as follows:

• unplug the appliance from the power socket
• unscrew the protective glass cover (X), by turning it anti-clockwise, and replace the bulb (Y) with a new one of the same type (see Fig. 15). Replace the protective glass cover (X).
