Using the Oven

Always cook with the oven door closed.

Stand clear when opening the drop down oven
door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until it is fully open.

The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied
with two shelves. The shelf positions are counted
from the bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.

It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.

Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.

Attention! - Do not place objects on the oven base

and do not cover any part of the oven with
aluminium foil while cooking, as this could cause
a heat build-up which would affect the baking
results and damage the oven enamel. Always
place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium
trays on the shelf which has been inserted in the
shelf runners.

Hints and Tips

Condensation and Steam

The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam. This system makes it possible
to cook in a steamy environment and keep the
dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover,
the cooking time and energy consumption are
reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam may
be produced which can be released when opening
the oven door. This is absolutely normal.

However, always stand back from the oven
when opening the oven door during cooking or
at the end of it 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.

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 base browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium

with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.

Cookware

• Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 230 °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.

9

The Fan Oven

The air inside the oven is heated by the element around
the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates
hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven.

The advantage of cooking with this function is
energy saving through:

 Faster Preheating

As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is
not usually necessary to preheat the oven although
you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7
minutes on cooking times. For recipes which require
higher temperatures, best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones,
souffles, etc.

 Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking
chart. Remember to reduce temperatures by about
20-25°C for your own recipes which use conventional
cooking.

 Even Heating for Baking

The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf positions.
This means that batches of the same food can be
cooked in the oven at the same time. However, the
top shelf may brown slightly quicker than the lower
one. This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.

How to use the Fan Oven



1. Turn the oven function control knob to .

2. Turn the thermostat control to the required temperature.

Things to note

• The oven light will come on when the oven function
control knob is set.

• The oven fan will operate continually during cooking.

• The thermostat control light will remain on until the
correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on
and off to show the temperature is being maintained.

The cooling fan

During cooking the cooling fan will operate continually.
It may run on after the oven is switched off to keep the
controls cool. This is quite normal.

Hints and Tips

- Shelf positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spaced.

- When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.

- When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer cooking time.

- When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal
trays of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich
cakes, then they will be cooked in the same time and
removed from the oven together. When different sizes
of trays or types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes are
cooked, they will not necessarily be ready together.

- The fan oven can be used to heat foods through without
thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies, sausage rolls,
and other small pastry items. Use a temperature of
190-200°C and allow 20-40 minutes (depending on
the quantity of food in the oven).

- The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommendations for oven
temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be
prepared to adjust the temperature, if necessary.
Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-25°C
for your own conventional recipes.

- When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat
and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and
can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.

NOTE

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the
oven has been used and at what temperature. It may not
switch in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on
where the oven has only been used for a short time.

10

- The meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.

NOTE: Shelf positions are counted from bottom of the oven.

We recommend to pre-heat the oven for about 10 minutes before cooking.

11

Grilling

Grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed.
The grill pan handles must be removed from
the pan during grilling. Always use oven gloves

to remove and replace the grill pan handles.
Ensure that you support the grill pan when
removing it from the oven.

How to Use the Full Grill



1. Set the oven control function knob to .

2. Set the thermostat control knob to the required tem­perature.

3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster cooking and further
away for more gentle cooking.

Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before
sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and
the shelf as necessary, during cooking.
During cooking, the cooling fan and the thermostat
control light will operate in the same way as described
for the fan oven function.

Hints and Tips

- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill
pan to allow maximum circulation of air and to lift the
food out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish,
liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill
pan, if preferred.

- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly
with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist
during cooking.

- Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms
may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats

- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner
position is used.

- The food should be turned over during cooking, as
required.

The grill element is controlled by the thermostat.
During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to
prevent overheating.

How to Use the Inner Grill



Element

The inner grill provides quick direct heat to the central
area of the grill pan. By using the inner grill element for
cooking small quantities, it can help to save energy.

1. Set the oven control function knob to .

2. Set the thermostat control knob to the required
temperature.

3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food and follow the
instructions for grilling.

How to Use the Thermal Grill



Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking
food items normally associated with conventional grilling.
The grill element and the oven fan operate alternately,
circulating hot air around the food. The need to check
and turn the food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to
minimize cooking smells in the kitchen.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks, you can
thermally grill all the foods you would normally cook
under a conventional grill. Cooking is more gentle,
therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook with
thermal grilling compared with conventional grilling. One
of the advantages is that larger quantities can be cooked
at the same time.

1. Turn the oven control function knob on .

2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required
temperature. Select a maximum temperature of

200°C

3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food and follow the
instructions for grilling.

Cooking chart - Thermal grilling

Hints and Tips

Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling.
Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter
to keep them moist during cooking.

When using the thermal grill cooking function, select a maximum temperature of 200°C.

Defrosting

The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the
temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of
defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which
could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux,
iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products.

How to Use Defrosting



1. Turn the oven function control knob to .

Hints and Tips

• Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.

• ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.

• Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when
ever possible and turned over half way through the
defrosting process.

• Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.) are
suitable for defrosting in this way.

2. Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the OFF
position.

Cleaning the Oven

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to
cool the oven down before switching off at the
electricity supply.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or
with a steam cleaning machine.

The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in
a fire, especially in the grill pan.

Cleaning materials

Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check
that they are suitable and that their use is recommended
by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should
also be avoided.

External cleaning

Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door
seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little mild washing-up liquid has been added.

To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass
panels avoid the use of the following:

• Household detergent and bleaches

• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans

• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

• Chemical oven pads or aerosols

• Rust removers

• Bath/Sink stain removers

Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy
water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled
it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite is used. Do not use paint scrapers to remove soilage.

DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed
the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and
must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the
panel shattering. Contact your local Service Force
Centre who will be pleased to advise further.

Models in stainless steel or
aluminium

We recommend to clean the oven door using only a wet
sponge and dry it after cleaning with a soft cloth.
Never use steel wool, acids or abrasive products as they
can damage the oven surface.
Clean the oven control panel following the same
precautions.

Oven Cavity

The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be
necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.

Oven Shelves

To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water and
remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap
impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
