Installation Guidance

Installing spare parts correctly is crucial for safety and performance. Here are some general tips:

  1. Heating Elements
    • Disconnect the appliance from power.
    • Remove screws and disconnect wires from the faulty element.
    • Secure the new element and reconnect wires.
    • Test for proper operation before using the oven.
  2. Thermostats
    • Access the thermostat by removing the back panel.
    • Disconnect the old thermostat and carefully connect the replacement.
    • Reassemble and test the oven for accurate temperature control.
  3. Door Seals
    • Gently remove the old seal from its groove.
    • Install the new seal, ensuring an even fit without gaps.

Safety Tip: Always disconnect the cooker from the power or gas supply before starting repair work. Use appropriate tools to avoid damage.

Quality and Compatibility
