2) INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

a) Installing your appliance safely

If the oven is placed too close to a wall, the wall may become burned or discoloured. Ensure that any curtains, etc. are not in contact with the oven.

Do not put anything between the base of the oven and the surface on which it is installed. Any object placed under the oven could become burned. Do not put anything on the top of the oven when in use as the heat could deform, crack or otherwise damage the item.

Do not heat food items directly in bottles or tins as the recipient could break and the contents could scald the user.

Always use the handle when inserting or removing the tray. Touching the tray could result in severe burns.

Never pour water into the oven when the oven is hot, as this may cause the glass to break.

When unplugging the appliance, always take hold of the plug itself. Never pull on the cord. This could break the wires inside the cord.

When in use, never position the appliance near a gas burner, any other significant heat source or near an electric fan etc. Doing this could affect the temperature control.

Do not spray the power cord and do not handle the appliance with wet hands. Always unplug the cord after use and whenever the appliance is left unattended. À malfunction while the plug is inserted into the mains could cause a fire.

When cooking fat-spitting dishes such as roast chicken, we recommend using 2 sheets of aluminium foil to reduce projections. Place one sheet on the tray and the other over the chicken. The oil will therefore drip between the two sheets.

VAN Ensure that your appliance has not suffered any damage during transport (deformed door or seal, etc.). If you notice any kind of damage whatsoever, please contact your dealer before using the appliance.

b) Electrical connections

The oven must be connected to a suitable power socket. Insert the plug fully into the socket. If not properly connected, it could overheat. Do not use an electric light socket. Never connect multiple plugs to the same power socket.

4) CARING FOR AND CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE

a) Cleaning instructions

Always unplug and allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning or moving it. Clean the grill pan, wire rack, tray handle and baking tray after each use. Clean the interior of the electric oven and all removable parts with a mild non-abrasive detergent and a plastic scouring pad after each use. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not scrub the oven's interior surfaces too hard as this could cause scratches to appear. Clean the exterior of the glass oven door using a glass cleaner or mild detergent and a damp cloth or plastic scouring pad. Do not use abrasive detergents or pads as they may scratch the oven window. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Allow to dry before closing the glass door.

b) Storage instructions
