Cooling fan
This appliance may have a cooling fan. When the grill or oven
is in operation the fan will run to cool the fascia and control
knobs.
Cooker care
As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer
trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe
away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by
cooking vapours (
Fig. 1.7
).
