D- Using The Appliance For The First Time - Porter & Charles FEC60B Série Instructions D'installation

D – Using the appliance for the first time
After installation remove all notification labels (not identification or warning labels) and packaging
materials. After cleaning make sure cleaned surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and wiped dry using a
clean, soft cloth.
Power on
NOTE: Oven will not operate unless the clock is set.
When power is first applied the display will flash and shows 00:00.
The time of day is displayed in digital 24 hour format (e.g.: 18:00 is 6:00 pm).
Burning in
Before cooking in the appliance an initial pre-heating is required to burn off the fine oil film used to
protect the elements for shipping. Select a cooking mode and set the oven temperature to 180°C.
With the oven door closed, leave for approximately 5 minutes.
Repeat the above step for each cooking mode.
After completing the above make sure all controls are turned off. The oven is now ready for
cooking and grilling.
DO NOT use aluminum foil on the base of ovens
The use of foil on the base of the oven to avoid spillage and improve cleaning is not
recommended. The bottom element is concealed under the base of the oven liner (not exposed).
Foil or dishes with reflective qualities must never be placed on the base of the oven during
cooking as the concentration of direct and reflected heat will damage the enamel surface.
WARNING
Damage resulting from such use is not covered under the provisions of the warranty.
Initial heat up
Some smoke and smell may be noticed during the initial heat up cycle. This is normal and should
quickly dissipate. If abnormal levels of smoke occur during use (i.e.: it is not food that is burning),
have the appliance thoroughly checked.
Don't use the appliance as a space heater
The appliance must never be used for warming or heating the surrounding room. Combustible
materials must never be placed on or near the appliance.
Do not leave children alone
Children must not be left unsupervised in the area where the appliance is in use. Children must
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
