SAFETY AND WARNINGS

Your built-in oven has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal cooking
procedures. Please keep the following guidelines in mind when you are using your
oven:

WARNING!

Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect the oven from the power supply before any cleaning or
maintenance.
Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock.

WARNING!

Cut Hazard
Take care - some edges are sharp.
Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock.

!

!

WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot when in use.
To avoid burns and scalds, keep children away.
Use oven mitts or other protection when handling hot surfaces such as
oven shelves or dishes.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven. Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in colour. Interior surfaces
of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating
elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns ­among these surfaces are the oven vent, the surface near the oven vent,
and the oven door.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
oven, follow the important safety instructions listed below:

●

Read all the instructions before using the oven. Use the oven only for its intended
purpose as described in these instructions.

●

Proper installation: be sure your appliance is properly installed and earthed by a
qualified technician.

●

Isolating switch: make sure this oven is connected to a circuit which incorporates an
isolating switch providing full disconnection from the power supply.

●

Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.

●

Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.

●

Children or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance,
should have a responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should
be satisfied that they can use the appliance without danger to themselves or their
surroundings.

●

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements inside the oven. Accessible parts may become hot during use. To
avoid burns young children should be kept away.

●

Do not use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

●

Do not place heavy objects on the oven door.

●

Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose fitting or hanging garments when using the
appliance. They could ignite or melt if they touch an element or hot surface and you
could be burned.

●

User servicing: do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.

●

Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the fire or flame or use a dry chemical or
foam type extinguisher.

●

Use only dry oven mitts or potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
could result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot areas or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or a bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch fire.

●

Do not heat unopened food containers. They can build up pressure that may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.

●

Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and
after cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food
poisoning. Take particular care during warm weather.

●

Always keep oven vents unobstructed.

●

Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote­control system.

●

If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

●

Under unfavourable electrical supply conditions, the appliance may cause temporary
voltage drops.

USING YOUR OVEN

13

Depending on your model, your oven may only have some of these functions.

OVEN LAMP

Only the oven light comes on. It remains on in all the cooking functions.

BAKE

This is the traditional method of baking. It is best to bake on only one shelf at a time in
this function. Ideal for large cakes and dishes that bake for several hours.

GRILL

Use with the oven door closed and the temperature set no higher than 225°C. For best
results, use the shelf position 4 when you want quick browning (eg toast).

DEFROST

Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the temperature set to off (O). The fan circulates
air around the oven, speeding up the defrosting process by approximately 30%. Note:
this function is not for cooking food.

FAN FORCED

Great for multi-shelf cooking. The consistent temperature ensures baking is well
risen. Cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle, meat and poultry are
deliciously browned and sizzling while remaining juicy and tender.

FAN GRILL

Use with the oven door closed and the temperature set no higher than 220°C. Ideal for
roasting tender cuts of meat and poultry. Use the lower shelf positions for larger items
eg a whole chicken.

OR WARM

Use this function to keep cooked food hot and to warm plates and serving dishes.
To reheat food from cold, set the temperature to 150°C and reduce it to 70-100°C
only when the food is piping hot. Note: this function is not for cooking food and the
temperature cannot be set higher than 150°C.

FAN BAKE

Ideal for dishes like lasagne that need to brown on top and also single trays of small
cakes or biscuits that bake in less than an hour.
