The door catch

A Press the catch down when you want to open the door. B If you wish to deactivate the catch, check first that the oven is not hot.

Before the first use
Cleaning the cooker
Clean the cooker with a clean cloth, hot water and a little washing-up liquid straight after use. NEVER USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SCOURING AGENTS, except on some parts of the cooker that might occasionally need cleaning more thoroughly. Don�t forget to clean underneath the oven vent cover. This can be washed in a dishwasher. Remember that the non-tip device does not work when the cooker has been pulled forward to clean behind it.
Wash the accessories
Wash the baking tray, oven dish etc. in hot water and washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry.
Heat the hotplates
When supplied, the hotplates have been pretreated with an anti-corrosion product which will provide better protection if the hotplates are heated without pans the first time. Heat one hotplate at a time on full power for no more than five minutes. The hotplates will get very hot, so be extra mindful of the safety of anyone near the cooker during this procedure. Some smoke and fumes are to be expected as the remaining solvent evaporates. Finish heating the hotplates before you first heat the oven.
