Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off
an odour. This should stop after use.
Before using for the first time, make sure that
all packing materials have been removed and
then, to dispel manufacturing odours, turn the
ovens to 200 °C and run for at least an hour.
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.
Cooling fan
This appliance has a cooling fan. When the
oven is in operation the fan will run to cool the
fascia and control knobs.
Ventilation
The use of a cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the room
in which it is installed. Therefore, make sure
that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a powered
cookerhood that vents outside. If you have
several hotplates/burners on, or use the cooker
for a long time, open a window or turn on an
extractor fan
