Tricity Bendix cookers comply with British Standard safety and performance requirements. They have are covered by a 12 month parts and labour guarantee. To get the best from your new Tricity Bendix appliance, we ask that you PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Particular attention should be made to cooking times and temperatures which may differ from your previous appliance. It is most important that this instruction book is retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold, or if you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book remains with the appliance. This will enable the new owner to be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. Please read the whole instruction book before attempting to use the appliance ensuring you follow the recommendations given. 4 INTRODUCTION WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED RATING PLATE This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the top oven door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (Where applicable). The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate. Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee. THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. If an automatic programme has been set the cooling fan does not switch on until the cooktime begins. The cooling fan may operate after a time when the fan oven is in use. This will depend on the temperature setting and the length of time the oven has been in use. CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR APPLIANCE We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 - 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation. These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched on. The neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will turn on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained. If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and re-set following the instructions for the required setting. When the oven has been set for automatic cooking the neon will remain unlit until the cooktime begins. ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance. To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces including the vent at the rear of the hob. For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall. COOKWARE Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven. Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance. 5 GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance. If you require replacements of any of the items listed below, please contact your local Service Force Centre quoting the relevant part number.
