possible to install a cooker hood, it is required to set
an electric fan on the window or wall that has access
to fresh air. This electric fan must have the capacity to
change the volume of air in the kitchen environment
4-5 times per hour.

For rooms with a volume greater than 10 m³ - no
permanent ventilation is required.

Attention: Regardless of room size, all rooms
containing the appliance must have direct access to
the outside air via an openable window or equivalent.
The room containing the cooker should have an air

supply in accordance with BS 5440: Part 2.

Environment where your appliance will be installed

Your cooker must be set up and used in a place where
it will always have ventilation. While operating, this
appliance needs 2m³/h air per kw input.

To light the cooktop burners

To light the burner, press the control knob fully
down and hold the knob down before rotating
anti clockwise to the High Flame position. The
ignition device is integrated into the control knob
and is automatically activated by pushing down
on the control knob.

After lighting the flame, keep the knob pressed for
about 10 seconds: this time is necessary to heat
up the thermocouple and activate the safety valve,
which would otherwise cut o the gas flow. This
step only applies where flame failure device is
fitted.

In the instance of a power failure, place a lit match
near the burner and proceed as described above.
If the flame does not light after the first attempt,
wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate before
attempting to re-light the burner.

Once lit, check that the flame is evenand turn the
control knob to adjust the flame as required. If
the flame is uneven, check that the ‘burner head/
skirt’ and ‘burner cap’ are correctly positioned. To
turn o the flame, turn the control knob clockwise
to the o position (
pots or pans from the burners, always turn o the

flame.

For correct use of the cooktop

For lower gas consumption and better eciency,
use only flat-bottomed pan of dimensions suitable
for the burners, as shown in the table below. Also
as soon as a liquid comes to the boil take care to
turn the flame down to a level that will just keep it
boiling.

symbol) Before removing

The use of pans in excess of the maximum
diameter recommended in the table above can
result in over heating/discoloration of hob surface.
During cooking processes involving fats and
oils, watch your foods carefully because these
substances may catch fire if overheated.

How to use your oven

This multi-function oven combines the
advantages of traditional convection ovens with
modern fan assisted ovens in a single appliance.
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows
you to choose easily and safely between dierent
cooking modes. The various cooking modes are
selected by means of a cooking mode selection
knob, located on the control panel.

To operate the oven:

- Ensure that manual mode is selected (page 26)

- Turn the cooking mode selection knob to the
desired cooking mode (explanation of cooking
modes on page 25)

- Turn the cooking temperature selection knob
to the desired temperature (cooking guide is on
pages 29) or to ‘MAX’ if grilling.

rst time you use your appliance, we

The fi
recommend that you set the thermostat to the
highest setting, set the cooking mode selection
knob to a cooking mode and leave the oven
on for about half an hour with nothing in it and
the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door
and allow the oven to cool. Any smoke or
odour that may be detected during this initial
use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage.

Positioning the oven trays & shelves

The Baking Tray, Grill Tray or Oven Shelf can be
located in any of the five height positions in the
oven if your oven does not have Telescopic Shelf
Supports. Oven Shelves cannot be fitted to the
Telescopic Support. Only fit the Baking Tray or Grill
Tray to the Telescopic Support.

When fitting the trays or shelves, ensure they
are fitted between the two wires that are closest
together as shown below. Oven Shelves have
a stop so that they are not fully withdrawn by
accident. To fully remove the Oven Shelves, lift
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.

Fit Trays and Shelves between bars as shown
below.

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
enamel. Only place your cookware (dishes, trays,

aluminium foil, etc.) on the Oven Shelves provided
with the appliance.

If supplied, use the chrome wire handle
shown below when removing the trays from
the oven.

COOKING MODES

Defrost mode
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.

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 dierent 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.

Baking mode
When set to Baking mode, the fan element
and the fan operate providing a delicate heat
distributed uniformly throughout the oven.

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.

Top heat mode

When set to Top heat mode, the top heating
element operates. This mode can be used to
brown food at the end of cooking.

Fan assisted Top Heat mode
Select a ‘Fan Assisted Top’ mode with cooking
mode selection knob and turn cooking
temperature selection knob to the desired
temperature setting. When set to Fan Assisted
Top mode, the top inner element and the fan
operate. This mode increases the circulation of air
throughout the oven, which helps prevent food
from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to
penetrate right into the food. Particularly suitable
for kebabs made with meats and vegetables,
sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken, quail, pork
chops, fish steaks, stued cuttlefish etc.

This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate
foods on multiple shelves, especially cakes that
need to rise such as cream pus and for certain
tartlets, sweet or savoury biscuits, savoury pus,
swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables, etc.

Delicate cooking mode
When set to Delicate cooking mode, the bottom
element and the fan will operate. This mode is
suitable for pastries, cakes and no dry sweets in
baking tins or moulds that require heat from the
bottom.

PRACTICAL COOKING ADVICE

The oven oers a wide range of settings which
allow you to cook any type of food in the best
possible way. With time you will learn to make the
best use of this versatile cooking appliance and
the following directions are only a guideline which
may be varied according to your own personal
experience.

Preheating

If the oven needs to be preheated, the ‘Convection’
mode or ‘Baking’ mode should be selected.
These are the most ecient 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.

Using the Grill

Baking cakes

This multi-function oven has 2 dierent grilling
modes.

Use the ‘Grill’ mode
place the food on the centre of the grill pan, insert
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, we recommend you set
the thermostat to the highest setting. However,
this does not mean you cannot use lower
temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat knob
to the desired temperature.

Use ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode
door shut. This mode is very useful for grilling
foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat by the fan
makes it possible not only to brown the surface,
but also to cook the bottom of the food. It can
also be used for browning foods at the end of the
cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish
to pasta bakes for example.

When using ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode, place the
food on the 2nd or 3rd oven shelf from the
bottom, then place a dripping-pan on the 1st rack
from the bottom to prevent fat and grease from
dripping onto the oven floor. We recommend
you set the thermostat to 200°c, as it is the most
ecient temperature for ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode.
However, this does not mean you cannot use
lower temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat
knob to the desired temperature.

with the oven door ajar,

with the oven

When baking cakes, always place them in a
preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven
has been preheated thoroughly (the indicator light
will turn o). To prevent heat loss and the cake
from dropping, do not open the oven door during
baking.

In general...

... if pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.

... if pastry has dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

... if pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature,
and increase the cooking time.

... if cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside

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

... if the pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting
of flour or use greaseproof paper.

... if I used multi shelf cooking and one shelf is
more cooked

Use a lower temperature setting next time. It is not
necessary to remove the food from all the racks at
the same time.

Important: for best results and to save energy,
always use the ‘Fan assisted grill’ with the oven
door shut.

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 dicult to get a crispy crust.

• 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.

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.
