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.
Before using the grill for the first 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. 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
