B - Using The Appliance For The First Time - Porter & Charles SOPS76TM Mode D'emploi

B - 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.
NOTE: Oven will not operate unless time clock is set
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. The first time you heat up the oven (or grill) the oil will be given
off as smoke, which is perfectly normal.
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.
NOTE:
On oven start up and possibly at other times, the appliance may freeze on a function due
to electricity supply deviations, if this occurs we recommend that, after checking other
solutions without success, it is recommended that power supply be disconnected to the
appliance for a few minutes, then reconnect. This may result in clearing the frozen
position, allowing you to reset the clock for normal operation.
Cooling Fan
The ovens are provided with a cooling fan motor to reduce the heat around the oven. The fan
motor is activated independently from oven temperature.
When you end the cooking program, the cooling fan will continue to operate until the oven
temperature drops below 70°C. This safeguards both the oven and the adjoining cupboards from
the possibility of temperature damage.
Safety Thermostat
Your oven is fitted with an over temperature sensor that will automatically shut down your oven
for a period if it is deemed to be overheating - this sensor is fitted to the rear wall of the oven,
inside the outer case – it will only activate in extreme circumstances and is provided as protection
to the appliance and the adjoining furnishings. If activated it will shut down the appliance for a
short time and will automatically reset allowing normal operation – you should consult your
service technician if the problem re-occurs.
Control Knobs
The knobs are of the push and pulltype. You press the knobs so the dial will come out from the
appliance and then you can rotate it to select what function and temperature you want.
At the end you can pull in to have a flat control panel.
