Catalytic enamelled surfaces The back panel, roof liner and side liners (if fitted) are coated with dark grey catalytic enamel. Soiling fr om oil and fat is burnt off these surfaces when very high temperatures are used in the oven. This makes it easier to clean inaccessible areas of the oven.
Roasting filter The roasting filter must be fitted in fr ont of the fan when cooking anything fatty or where food is likely to splatter , e.g. when open roasting or grilling meat. The droplets of fat caught up in the circulating air ar e deposited on the roasting filter .
Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are envir onmentally friendly for disposal and can normally be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are disposed safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children.
This appliance conforms to current safety requir ements. Incorrect use can, however , lead to personal injur y and damage to the appliance. Before installation and befor e using for the first time, read the operating instructions carefully . They contain important notes on installation, safety , operation and care of the appliance.
Installation work and repairs may only be carried out by suitably qualified and competent persons in accordance with local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous and the manufacturer will not be held liable.

This could result in injury or damage. Do not push pots and pans around on the oven floor as this could damage the surface.
Never add water to food on a hot baking tray or grill pan or directly onto food in a hot oven. The steam created could cause serious burns or scalding and the sudden change in temperature can damage the enamel. Never line the floor of the oven with aluminium foil when using Conventional heat A /Bottom heat B .
When using kitchen appliances connected to sockets near the oven, ensure that the cable cannot get trapped in a hot oven door , which could melt the cable insulation and be dangerous. Danger of electric shock. Never use steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance.
After installation and before using the oven for the first time: – Set the clock. – Switch the catalyser on, if fitted. – Clean the appliance. – Heat the oven up with nothing in it. New appliances have a slight smell on first use and this procedur e will dissipate the smells before you use the oven to cook any food.
Changing the time of day In the following example the time of day is changed from 12:05 to 13:33. T o do this: ^ T ur n the programme selector to "0". ^ T ur n the function selector (right hand dial) until triangle V is underneath the m symbol in the display .
