Before first use

Rating plate

This is situated on the front frame of the ap­pliance and can be seen upon opening the
door. Alternatively the rating plate may also
be found on the back or top of some models
(where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suita­bly rated fuse or circuit breaker.
The rating of the appliance is given on the
rating plate.

Oven grill shelf

Anti stick meat/Drip pan

Warning! Do not remove the rating plate

from the appliance as this may invalidate
the guarantee.

Preparing to use your appliance

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft
cloth using hot soapy water. Wash the furni­ture before use.
We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill
for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum tempera­ture, to burn off any residue from their surfa­ces. Accessible parts may become hotter
than in normal use. Children should be kept

away. During this period an odor may be
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a
window for ventilation.

Important! There is a hot surface label on
the oven door. Please remove the label from
the door before first use of the appliance.

The cooling fan

The cooling fan comes on immediately the
top oven or grill is switched on. It may run on
after the ovens are switched off until the ap­pliance has cooled. During the cooling down
period the cooling fan may switch on and off.

Warning! Always allow the cooling fan
to cool the appliance down before
switching off the electrical supply to
carry out cleaning or maintenance.

Control panel indicator neon(s)

The indicator neon will operate when the
oven(s) is switched on. The indicator neon
will glow. It may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being maintained. If
the neon does not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly
set. Return all controls to zero and reset fol­lowing the instructions for the required set­ting.

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam sim­ilar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some
of this steam to escape. However, always
stand back from the appliance when opening
the door(s) 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 appliance, e.g.
a trim, it will condense and produce water
droplets. This is quite normal and is not
caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and foodstuff from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of
the appliance should be securely fixed to the
wall.

Cookware

Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be
placed directly against the grid covering the
fan at the back of the oven.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x
35cm (12” x 14”) as they will restrict the cir­culation of heat and may affect performance.

Operation

The top oven

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens.
It is heated by elements in the top and bot­tom of the oven. It is designed for cooking
smaller quantities of food. It gives especially
good results if used to cook fruitcakes, sweet
and savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is ideal for use as a warming
compartment. It can be used to warm dishes
and keep food hot. Use the lowest setting on
the top oven temperature control.

Warning! Do not place cookware and
cooking pots with rough bases e.g. cast
iron on the oven door as damage to the
glass may occur.

Important! Always grill with the door
closed.

Switching the Oven On and Off

1. Turn the oven functions dial to the desired
function.

Oven Functions
Top Oven

Oven function Application

Light Using this function you can light up the oven interior, e.g. for

cleaning.

Conventional Cooking This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without

the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable for dishes, which
require extra base browning such as pies, quiches and flans.
Gratin's, lasagne and hot pots which require extra top browning
also cook well in the conventional oven. For best results cook
on one level.

Top Heat This function uses the top element to give single level cooking.

This is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra top
browning.

Bottom Heat For baking cakes with crispy or crusty bases.

Economy Grill For grilling flat foodstuffs placed in the middle of the grill and for

toasting.

Full Grill For grilling flat foodstuffs in large quantities and for toasting.

2. Turn the temperature selector to the de­sired temperature.

cool. When the oven is switched off, the
fan continues to run to cool the appli­ance down, then switches itself off au­tomatically.

Baking

Oven levels

• Baking with Conventional Cooking is only
possible on one level.

• When baking with Fan Cooking one to two
baking trays can be put into the bottom
oven at the same time:

1 tray, e.g. oven level 3

1 cake in cake tin, e.g. oven level 1

2 tray, e.g. oven levels 1 and 3

Baking tins

• Baking tins made from dark-coloured met­al with Teflon coating are suitable for bak­ing using Conventional Cooking.

• For baking using the Fan Cooking function,
baking tins made of shiny light-coloured
metal are suitable.

General instructions

• Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.

• When baking using Conventional Cooking
and Fan Cooking , you can also place two
baking trays next to one another on one

level. This does not significantly affect the
baking time.

When frozen items are placed on baking
trays, they can buckle during cooking.
This happens due to the large difference
in temperature between the frozen item
and the oven. After cooling, the buckling
in the trays disappears.

How to use the Baking Tables

• The tables give the required temperature
settings, cooking times and oven levels for
a selection of typical dishes.

• Temperatures and baking times are for
guidance only, as these will depend on the
consistency of pastry, dough or mixture,
the amount and the type of baking tin.

• We recommend setting the oven to a lower
temperature for the first time and only set­ting a higher temperature when required,
e.g. if you require more browning or if the
baking is taking too long.

• If you cannot find the settings for a certain
recipe, look for similar items.

• The baking time can be 10-15 minutes
longer when baking cakes on trays or in
tins on multiple levels.

• Recipes with moist ingredients such as
pizzas or fruit flans are to be baked on one
level.

• Cakes and pastries at different heights
may brown at an uneven rate at first. You
should not change the temperature setting
if this occurs. Different rates of browning
even out as baking progresses.

• Baking and roasting times could differ from
those of your previous oven. For this rea­son you should adjust the settings you
usually use (temperature, cooking times,
etc.) and oven levels to the recommenda­tions provided in the following tables.

Roasting

Ovenware for roasting

• Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to
use for roasting. (Please follow the manu­facturer's instructions.)

• You can place large roasts directly in the

roasting tray or on the shelf with the
roasting tray underneath.
