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.
CAUTION - accessible parts will become hot when in use.
To avoid burns and scalds children should be kept away.
During Operation
Do not use this oven if it is in contact with water and never
operate it with wet hands.
Ensure that the oven shelves are installed in the correct
way.
Take great care when heating fats and oils as they 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 melt in
or on the oven.

both the top and bottom element, ensuring even
heating inside the oven.
Full Grill - The full grill element will be on.
Recommended for large quantities.
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.
"Fast Heat Up" function
After a cooking function has been selected and the
temperature has been adjusted, the cavity will gradually
heat up until the selected temperature is reached. This

maximum temperature of 200°C.
Baking Function - The top and bottom elements

2. Press button twice. The pilot light to the left of
symbol will come on.
3. Set the temperature to 250°C using the "Increase"
button (push button ).
4. Open a window for ventilation.
5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the full grill
function and the fan oven function for
approximately 5-10 minutes.

supports.
1. Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf supports
completely out, as shown in the diagram.
2. Place the shelf or the grill pan on the telescopic
shelf supports, as shown in the diagram, then gently
push them all inside the oven.
Do not attempt to close the oven door if the
telescopic shelf supports are not completely
inside the oven. This could damage the door
enamel and glass.
The oven has four shelf levels, counted from the
bottom, as shown in the diagram. Your oven is
supplied with three anti-tip shelves.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram. Shelf level 2

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 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.
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.
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.
