The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision. Young
children must not be allowed to tamper with the
controls or play near or with the oven.
Ovens become very hot, and retain their heat for a
long period of time after use. Children should be
kept well away from the oven until it has cooled.

in use. To avoid burns and scalds children should
be kept away.
During Operation

will ignite if they become too hot.
This oven has been designed for cooking edible
foodstuffs only and must not be used any other
purposes.
Never place plastic or any other material which may

Always grill with the oven door closed.
Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food
in the oven.
Ensure that you support the grill pan when removing
it from the oven.
Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.
Do not allow heatproof cooking material, e.g.
roasting bags, to come into contact with oven
elements.
Always stand back from the oven when opening
the oven door, to allow any build-up of steam or
heat to release.

The cooling fan
The cooling fan is designed to cool the walls of the oven and the
components of the oven itself.
The fan switches on automatically after a few minutes of cooking.
Warm air is blown out through the aperture near the oven door
handle. When the oven is switched off, the fan will remain on in
order to cool the oven and kitchen cabinets properly, after which it
switches off automatically.
NOTE: The fan may run up to 45 minutes after cooking has been
completed. Leaving the door ajar will lessen the cooling time.

Hints and Tips
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way
as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this
steam to escape. However, always stand back from
the oven when opening the oven door to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and
produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a
fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of
the oven, or placed on the oven base.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes on cooking
results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and underneath
browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and underneath
browning.
