OVEN SAFETY POINTS
•Food or utensils should not be placed on the base of the oven as it gets very hot.
•When using the oven shelves ensure they are correctly placed between the shelf runners.
Warning! The front, top and doors of the Plus2 may become hot after long periods of cooking. Keep
children and pets away.
COOLING FAN
When the Plus2 has been in operation for some time an electric fan may be heard. This is simply to cool the
electronics in the unit and is quite normal.
BEFORE YOU COOK FOR T E FIRST TIME
We recommended that the top and the bottom oven be switched on at full power for about one hour in
order to burn off any initial odours. The grill should also be turned on, with the top oven door open, for
approximately 15 minutes before it is used for the first time.
Also, before you use the ceramic hob for the first time, clean the hob surface with ceramic hob cleaner and
conditioner. This applies a thin protective film to the hob, making it easier to clean and prolonging its life.
Warning! For your own safety, always switch off your Plus2 at the mains supply and allow cooling
before cleaning.
Note: Never use excessive amounts of water to clean your Plus2.
OB CLEANING
It is recommended that the hob be cleaned daily with ob Brite cleaner. Normally cleaning should be carried
out when the hob has cooled, but if jam, fruit or anything with a high sugar content is spilled on the hob, or
plastic or aluminium is melted onto the hob, clean it off immediately, as damage to the hob can result. Switch
off the hob and use a metal spatula, palette knife or scraper to remove the spillage. TAKE CARE as the
spillage and the hob may be very hot. Do not use scouring powders or paste, wire wool scouring pads or
oven cleaners on the hob as these can cause damage to the hob surface.
OVEN CLEANING
Both the ovens can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners. The shelf supports in the top and the bottom
ovens can be removed to make cleaning easier.
GENERAL CLEANING
Enamel is simply a coloured glass coating added to the metal to give a durable and hygienic finish. It can be
damaged by scratching or by a sudden application of cold liquids onto its surface when hot. Clean with a cloth
and soapy water, preferably while the Plus2 is still warm. Propriety non-scratch liquid cleaners for enamelled
surfaces may be used. Spilled liquids should be removed as soon as possible. Fruit juices and other acidic
products can remove the gloss surface from the enamel if left for any length of time. A stainless steel cleaner
can be used for cleaning the door handles. Do not use scouring powders or pastes, scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control knob markings on the ceramic glass top, as this may damage the markings.

Maintenance
Warning! Isolate the electrical supply before any repair work.
The Plus2 does not require regular servicing, but has been designed so that internal components are easy
to replace in the event that they become faulty.
All the oven and grill elements can be removed and replaced from the front of the Plus2 through the oven
openings.
TO REMOVE T E BASE ELEMENT FROM T E TOP OR BOTTOM OVEN
1. Remove the shelves and shelf supports from the oven.
2. Remove the two self tapping screws holding down the oven base at each side. Remove the base.
3. Undo the screw fastening the element to the side of the oven. The element can then be pulled out of
the base of the oven. The electrical wire connections should stay attached to the element as it is pulled
from the oven. The element wire terminals can then be swapped from the faulty element to the new
element. Take care not to let the element wire connections fall back inside the Plus2 before they are
reconnected to the new element.
TO REMOVE T E UPPER ELEMENTS/GRILL ELEMENT FROM T E TOP OR BOTTOM OVEN
1. Undo the single screw fastening the element to the side of the oven.
2. Loosen the screws on the element support brackets. The support brackets can then be rotated clear
of the elements allowing the elements to fall.
3. The electrical wire connections should stay attached to the element as it is lowered. The element wire
terminals can then be swapped from the faulty element to the new one. Take care not to let the element
wire connections fall back inside the Plus2 before they are reconnected to the new element.
TO REMOVE ANY OF T E ENERGY REGULATORS
The Pus2 top casting assembly is hinged to allow access. To achieve this, pull the unit forward
approximately 50mm and remove both towel rail brackets and towel rail. Turn the two grub screws that are
now revealed clockwise and hinge up the top casting to allow access.
