the front of the shelf slightly and withdraw fully
from the oven. Note that the Grill Tray and Baking
Tray do not have a stop position and can be fully
withdrawn without interruption, so be careful not
to accidentally fully withdraw the trays.

Note: Place the Baking Tray provided on the
bottom shelf position of the oven to prevent any
spillages from dripping onto the bottom of the
oven. Never place anything (including foil and

oven trays) on the bottom of the oven when it
is in operation because this could damage the

MAIN OVEN COOKING MODES

Convection mode
When set to Convection mode, the top and
bottom heating elements operate together like a
‘normal’ conventional oven that you have
probably used before.
Convection mode is best suited for traditional
baking and roasting and you should only use one
shelf at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will
be uneven. You can balance the amount of heat
between the top and the bottom of the dish by
selecting a different shelf height. If you want
more heat at the top of the dish place the dish
on the top or second shelf. For more heat at the
bottom of the dish, place the dish on third or
fourth shelf.

Warming Oven

This setting uses heat produced only by the bottom

element and is pre-set to 250°C.

This gives an ideal setting for cooking pizza.

Grill Mode
Select ‘Grill’ mode with cooking mode selection
knob and turn cooking temperature selection
knob to ‘Max’. When set to Grill mode, the top
inner element operates. The extremely high and
direct temperature of the grill make it possible
to brown the surface of meats and roasts while
locking the juices in to keep the tender. Grill
mode can also be used for dishes that require a
temperature on the surface such as beef steaks,
veal, rib, steak, filets, hamburgers, etc.
Grill food with the oven door closed.

Oven light function

When set to the light function this
enables you to see directly into the
cavity or oven.

Baking mode

When set to Baking mode, the fan element
and the fan operate providing a delicate heat distributed uniformly
throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods on multiple
shelves, especially cakes that need to rise such as cream puffs and
for certain tartlets, sweet or savoury biscuits, savoury puffs, swiss rolls
and small portions of vegetables, etc.

Defrost

When set to ‘Defrost’ mode, the fan located at the back of the oven
circulates room temperature air around the food. This is
recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, for
example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes, etc.
By using ‘Defrost’ mode, the defrosting time is approximately halved.
In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the
process by selecting ‘Multi Cooking mode’ and setting the
temperature between ao0c to 100°c.

experience.

Preheating

the oven needs to be preheated, the ‘Convection’

If
mode or ‘Baking’ mode should be selected.
These are the most efficient modes, which will
reach the desired temperature as quickly as
possible using the least amount of energy.

Once the food has been placed in the oven, the
desired cooking mode should then be selected.

Note: After pressing the button, timer settings
should be done within 5 seconds.

In case of a power failure, all settings including
the time display will be lost. When the power is
returned, three ‘O’ and ‘AUTO’ will be displayed.

The oven light

Set cooking mode selection knob to symbol
to switch on the oven light/s. The oven light/s stay
on when the oven is operating.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the exterior of the
appliance, this model is equipped with a cooling
fan, which switches on automatically. When the
cooling fan is on, you will notice a flow of air
exiting between the oven door and the control
panel.

Multi shelf cooking

If you want to cook food on several shelves, select
the ‘Baking’ mode as this is the only cooking
mode that allows you to do so.

When cooking delicate foods on more than one
shelf, use the ‘Baking’ mode. This mode allows
you to cook on 3 shelves at the same time. Refer
to the ‘Cooking Guide’ table.

and fit the grill pan on either the 3rd or 4th shelf
from the bottom. Note: only the central part of
the top heating element operates for grilling.

When using ‘Grill’ mode,
automatically set to the highest temperature. This
means you are unable to adjust the temperature

outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.

Cooking pizza

For best results when cooking pizza:

• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes.

•

Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on
the shelf supplied with the oven. Don’t use the
dripping pan since this will extend the cooking
time, making it difficul

• Do not open the oven door frequently while the

pizza is cooking;

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four),

we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese
on top halfway through the cooking process.

• For best results, only use one shelf at a time,

but if you want to cook on two shelves, use
the 2nd and 4th racks from the bottom with a
temperature of 220°c and swap them halfway
through cooking.

t to get a crispy crust.

Cooking fish and meat

When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use a
temperature setting from 180°C to 200°c.

For red meat that you want well done on the
outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it
is best to start with a high temperature setting
(200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven
down afterwards.

In general, the larger the roast, the lower the
temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre
of the shelf and place the dripping pan beneath it
to catch the fat.

Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it is
in the centre of the oven. If you would like to
increase the amount of heat from below, use a
lower shelf height. For savoury roasts (especially
duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or
bacon on the top.
