Installation

 This oven must be installed by qualified personnel to the

relevant British Standards.  This oven is heavy. Take care when moving it.  Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven,

before using the oven.  Do not attempt to modify the oven in any way.  The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the

production of heat and moisture in the room in which

it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well

ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or

install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical

extractor hood).  Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for

additional ventilation, for example opening a window,

or more effective ventilation, for example increasing

the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

Child Safety

 This oven is designed to be operated by adults. Do not

allow children to play near or with the oven.  The oven gets hot when it is in use. Children should be

kept away until it has cooled.

Maintenance and Cleaning

 Only clean this oven in accordance with the instructions.  The oven should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of

fats or other foodstuffs could result in a fire, especially in the grill pan.

 Always allow the oven to cool down and switch off the

electrical supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

Service

 This oven should only be repaired or serviced by an

authorised Service Engineer and only genuine approved spare parts should be used.

Environmental Information

 After installation, please dispose of the packaging with

due regard to safety and the environment.

 When disposing of an old appliance, make it unusable,

by cutting off the cable. Remove any door catches, to prevent small children being trapped inside.

During Use

 This oven is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not

designed for commercial or industrial purposes.  Do not block any of the oven vents. Never line any part

of the oven with aluminium foil.  Do not allow heatproof cooking material, e.g. roasting

bags, to come into contact with oven elements.  Never place plastic or any other material which may melt

in or on the oven.  Do not place sealed cans or aerosols inside the oven.

They may explode if they are heated.  Do not hang towels, dishcloths or clothes from the oven

or its handle.  Do not use this oven if it is in contact with water and never

operate it with wet hands.  Take great care when heating fats and oils as they will

ignite if they become too hot.  Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food in

the oven.  Ensure that all control knobs are in the OFF position

when not in use.  Do not leave cookware containing foodstuffs, e.g. fat or

oil in or on the oven in case it is inadvertently switched

ON.  When using other electrical appliances, ensure the

cable does not come into contact with the hot surfaces

of the oven.

Keep this instruction book for future reference

and ensure it is passed on to any new owner.

Oven Door Protection Device

All our appliances comply with the European safety standards. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the highest safety level, and avoid small children to be exposed to the heat when the appliance is operated, it is possible to fit a special protection device to the oven door. This device can be purchased in our Service Force Centres, specifying the relevant code (35791) and the Product No. shown on the rating plate.

Controls

Oven Light and Electric Grill Control Knob

Oven Light - The oven light will be on without any cooking function.

Grill - The heat comes from the top element only

250

Range of temperature regulation (50-250°).

Minute minder

The minute minder will mark the end of a timed period with an acoustic alarm. The maximum timing is 60 minutes. Turn the minute minder knob clockwise to the maximum time position, then turn it back to the required time. The minute minder will not affect in any way the oven operation, if it is in use.

Mains on Light

The mains on light will come on when the oven function control knob is set.

Grill Control Light

The Grill (thermostat) control light will come on when the thermostat control knob is turned. The light will remain on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and off to show the temperature is being maintained.

Gas Oven Control Knob

Push in the control knob and turn it to gas mark 8. Upon ignition, keep the knob pushed down about 5/10 seconds, then turn the control knob to the gas mark you want. If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again, keeping the oven knob pushed in for a longer time. It is possible to check the flame through the holes in the bottom of the oven. The gas oven control knob must not be kept pushed in for over 15 seconds. If the oven burner does not light even after this time, release the knob, open the oven door and wait for at least 1 minute before trying to light the oven burner again.

The Safety Thermostat (Electric Grill)

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.

FO 2506

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.

Before the First Use

Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven, before using the appliance.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.

1. Switch the thermostat control knob to

maximum position (8).

2. Open a window for ventilation.

3. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes.

Using the Oven

 Always cook with the oven door closed.  Stand clear when opening the drop down oven

door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the door using the door handle, until it is fully open.

 The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied

with two shelves. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram. It is important that these shelves are correctly positioned as shown in the diagram.

 Do not place cookware directly on the oven

base.

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.

FO 0336

ANTI-TIP SHELF

 Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be 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.
