Controls

Push-push control knobs

This model is provided with push-push control knobs.
These knobs can be completely sunken inside the
control panel when the oven is not working.

Oven Function Control Knob

Oven Light - The oven light will be on without
any cooking function.

Conventional cooking - The heat comes from

both the top and bottom element, ensuring even
heating inside the oven.

Baking Function - The top and bottom elements

heat the oven cavity and the fan circulates hot air
around your dishes. Best for baking cakes, biscuits
or bread.

Bottom heating element - The heat comes from

the bottom of the oven only, to allow you finish
your dishes.

Inner grill element only - can be used for grilling

small quantities.

Full Grill - The full grill element will be on.

Recommended for large quantities.

Thermal Grilling - This function offers an alter-

native method of cooking food items, normally
associated with conventional grilling. The grill
element and the oven fan operate together,
circulating hot air around the food. Select a

maximum temperature of 200°C.

Fan cooking - This setting allows you to roast or

roast and bake simultaneously using any shelf,
without flavour transference.

Pizza Oven - The bottom element provides

direct heat to the base of pizzas, quiches or pies,
while the fan ensures air is circulated to cook the
pizza toppings or pie fillings.

Thermostat Control Knob (°C)

Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to select
temperatures between 50°C and 250°C (MAX).

The Safety Thermostat

This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case
of malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and
consequent over-heating, the safety device will stop
the power supply to the appliance. If this happens, call
your local Service Force Centre. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to repair the
appliance yourself.

The cooling fan

The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled
through vents between the oven door and the control
panel, as shown in the diagram.
The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched
off to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.

Mains on Light

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

Thermostat Control Light

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

FO 2259

Before the First Use

Remove all packaging, both inside and outside
the oven, before using the oven.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is quite normal.

The oven will work only if the time of day
has been set.

1. Set the time of day with the electronic programmer.

2. Switch the oven function control knob to fan cooking.

3. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.

4. Open a window for ventilation.

5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes.

This procedure should be repeated with the grill function
for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Using the Oven

Attention!

Do not place pans, dripping pans, biscuit pans or
aluminium foil on the oven bottom. This could cause a
heat build-up which would affect the baking results and
damage the oven enamel.

YES

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 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.

NO

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. The shelf
positions are counted from the bottom of the oven
as shown in the diagram.
It is important that the oven shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.

Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.

Using the Conventional Oven

When using this setting, heat comes from both the top
and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on a single
level and is particularly suitable for dishes which require
extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans.

Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top
browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This
form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without
the fan in operation.

How to Use the

F

Conventional Oven

1. Turn the oven function control knob to the required

cooking function ( ).

2. Turn the thermostat control to the required tempera­ture.

THINGS TO NOTE

l

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

l

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

Bottom oven element only

Hints and Tips

- The middle shelf position allows for the best heat
distribution. To increase base browning simply lower
the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the
shelf position.

- The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes
used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark,
heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning,
while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished
steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base
browning.

- Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning.

- Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent
spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning
easier.

- Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on
the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage
will occur.

- For faster preheating use the fan oven function to
preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes
out, then swich the selector to the conventional oven
setting.

- Single level cooking gives best results. If you require
more than one level cooking use the fan oven function.

This function is particularly useful when blind-baking
pastry or cooking pizza. It may also be used to finish off
quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked
through.

The Cooling Fan

 The cooling fan will operate continually during cooking.

It may run on after the oven is switched off to keep
the controls cool. This is quite normal.

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.

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:

l 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.

l 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.

l 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

F

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.

FO 0351

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.

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.

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

- 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.

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

Grilling

Grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed.
Always use oven gloves to remove and replace
food in the oven.
Ensure that you support the dripping pan when
removing it from the oven.

How to Use the Grill

F

1. Turn the oven control function knob on .

2. Turn the thermostat control knob on 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.

How to Use the Inner Grill

F

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.

How to Use the Thermal

F

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.

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

1. Turn the oven control function knob on .

2. Turn the thermostat control knob on 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.

Hints and Tips

- 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.

- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner
position is used with the grid in its 'high' position.

- 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.

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

F

1. Turn the oven function control knob to .

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

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.

Refer to the following table for approximate defrosting
times.

(Mins)

Notes

Chicken 1000 g. 100-140 20-30 Place the chicken on an inverted

saucer on a large plate. Defrost open
and turn at half time or defrost
covered with foil. Remove giblets
as soon as possible.

Meat 1000 g. 100-140 20-30 Defrost open and turn at half time or

cover with foil

Meat 500 g. 90-120 20-30 As above

Trout 150 g. 23-35 10-15 Defrost open

Strawberries 300 g. 30-40 10-20 Defrost open

Butter 250 g. 30-40 10-15 Defrost open

Cream 2 x 200 g. 80-100 10-15 Defrost open (cream is easy to whip even

if parts of it are still slightly frozen)

Cake 1400 g. 60 60 Defrost open

The times quoted in the chart should be used as a guide only, as the speed of defrosting will depend on the kitchen
temperature. For example, the colder the ambient temperature, the longer the defrosting time.

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 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
 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.

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
Centre who will be pleased to advise further.

Oven Cavity

The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
It is preferable/advisable to wipe the oven over with a
soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use.
However, from time to time it will be necessary to do a
more thorough cleaning using a proprietary oven
cleaner, do not use abrasive scourers or steel wool.
NOTE: Do NOT use caustic base oven cleaners.

Oven Shelves and Shelf
Supports

To clean the oven shelves and the shelf supports, soak
in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks with
a well wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry
with a soft cloth.
The shelf supports can be removed for easy cleaning (see
diagram). Please, ensure the retaining nuts are secure
when refitting the shelf support.

Cleaning the hinged grill

This model has been fitted with a hinged grill element to
enable you to clean the roof of the oven easily.

Before proceeding ensure the oven is cool and
is disconnected from the electricity supply.

1) Undo the screws which holds the grill in place

F

(see diagram). When doing this operation for the
first time, we recommend using a screwdriver.

2) Then gently pull the grill downward to allow
access to the oven roof (see diagram).

3) Clean the oven roof with a suitable cleaner and
wipe dry before replacing the hinged grill element.

4) Gently push up the grill element into place and
firmly screw into place the holding nuts.

Ensure the grill holding nuts are firmly in place to
avoid the grill falling down when in use.

Replacing the Oven Light

Disconnect the appliance.

If the oven bulb needs replacing, it must comply with the
following specifications:

- Electric power: 15W,

- Electric rate: 230-240 V (50 Hz),

- Resistant to temperatures of 300°C,

- Connection type: E14.
These bulbs are available from your local Service Force
Centre.

To replace the faulty bulb:

F

1. Ensure the oven is disconnected from the electrical
supply.

2. Turn the glass cover anticlockwise.

3. Remove the faulty bulb and replace with the new one.

4. Refit the glass cover.

5. Reconnect to the electrical supply.

FO 0287

Care of catalytic liners

Catalytic liners destroy splashes of food and fats when
the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.

To aid this process it is a good idea to run the oven for
an hour or two per week, without food, to ensure
continued good performance from the Catalytic liners.

Hints and Tips

 Manual cleaning of the Catalytic liner is not

recommended. Damage will occur if soap
impregnated steel wool pads, aerosol cleaners and
any other abrasives are used.

 Slight discolouration and polishing of the Catalytic

surface may occur in time. This does not affect the
Catalytic properties in any way.

 Follow the recommendations in Cooking to reduce

soilage

Cooking to reduce soilage

Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try
cooking at lower temperatures for an increased length
of time, you will save energy and often the joint is more
tender.

Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat;
potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking.
Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase
splashing and soilage. It is NOT necessary to add water
to the meat tin when roasting. The water and the fat
juices from the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking, even at normal temperatures, as well as
causing condensation.

Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces; removing the
covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra
browning, if required. Some large joints and turkeys
especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing
the joint to cook through before the outside is
overbrowned.

Do use the roasting tin. During roasting, the fat from
the joint will be contained beneath the trivet and
therefore prevent it from splattering onto the 'Catalytic'
liner.

18

Grease Filter

To prevent a build-up of fats on the fan impellor, the
grease filter must be fitted by clipping it over the vents
in the back panel.

To clean the grease filter

When the oven has cooled down, remove the filter by
pushing the protruding tongue on the filter upward, and
wash carefully.

The grease filter should be cleaned after every use. The
filter may be washed in a dishwasher on a 65°C wash.
If the filter is heavily soiled, place the filter in a saucepan
of water with approximately 1 teaspoon of automatic
washing powder or dishwasher powder. Bring to the boil
and leave to soak for approximately 30 minutes or
longer depending on the degree of soiling. Ensure the
solution does not boil over as it could mark your hob.

Rinse filter in clean water and dry.

Remember to refit the filter before using the oven again.
