User manual WHIRLPOOL AKL 219/WH INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] The oven must be connected to the electricity supply by means of an all-pole disconnect switch with minimum contact gap of 3 mm. Do not use multiple plug adapters or extension leads. After the oven has been installed, the electrical components must be inaccessible. Make sure that the voltage shown on the rating plate is the same as the power supply voltage in your home. [. . . ] The oven is equipped with air cooling system to prevent excessive temperatures of the oven front and furniture housing. Following cooking times greater than one hour at temperatures of 200° C or more, it is recommended that residual heat from the oven and housing be removed by use of a cool down period. At completion of cooking, leave the oven on, in any cooking function but grill with the “temperature knob” on “0” position, for about 15 minutes. The oven door must remain closed during the cool down period. • During the cooking process, water evaporates from food. All ovens require this steam and other fumes to be vented from the oven cavity. For reasons of safety and aesthetics, we have determined that an opening at the bottom of the door is the optimum solution. Consequently, vapour may be seen to be coming from this area on occasions (see picture). This is a normal occurrence and the bottom trim can be cleaned after removal of the door as described later in this chapter “Cleaning the oven and its accessories”. Bear in mind there may be residual steam inside the oven. Accordingly, great care should be taken when opening the oven door. Clean the exterior of the oven with a sponge and warm water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pan scourers. Use a liquid detergent to clean the oven door window. Wash the accessories in a dishwasher or in the sink, using an oven cleaner. After the oven has been in prolonged use and when cooking on different levels (especially food with high water contents such as pizzas, stuffed vegetables, etc. . . ), condensation may form on the inside of the door seal. When the oven is cool, dry any condensation with a cloth or sponge. • • • • • • 18 53844-gb. fm5 Page 19 Wednesday, March 14, 2001 4:11 PM CLEANING THE OVEN AND ACCESSORIES Removing the oven door (for cleaning) 1.
