! The first time you use your appliance, heat the
empty oven with its door closed at its maximum
temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated before switching the oven off
and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit
a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective
substances used during the manufacturing process
burning away.

! Before operating the product, remove all plastic
film from the sides of the appliance.

Starting the oven

When the SELECTOR knob is turned in a clockwise

direction to the symbol
will come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen

food. Rotating further to the complete range of
temperatures shown on the dial you can choose
which is most suitable for the food you are going to
cook (fan assisted mode). The temperature is
reached automatically and controlled by the oven
thermostat (from 60°C to 240°C).
! Whilst using tag oven for conventional cooking
VARIABLE GRILL knob must be set with “
line with the reference mark on the control panel.

Grill

The top heating element will come on. On this
setting, food is cooked by the thermal radiation
given off in the downward direction by the electric
heating element. The very high temperature and
direct heat of the grill make it possible to brown
meats on the surface while locking in the juices to
keep them tender.

! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the
oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being
damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when
cooking with the rotisserie spit.

! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

!

Always cook in this mode with

Cooking advice

GB

When using the oven, only one rack or drip pan
should be used at a time. The rack or pan should be
inserted into the bottom or top guides depending on
whether the food needs more heat from the top or
bottom.

Preheating

If the oven must be preheated (this is generally
required for leavened foods), we recommend using
the "conventional" oven feature which makes it
possible to reach the temperature desired in a very
short time. After the oven has been preheated, the
thermostat light will turn off. At this point, you can
select the most suitable setting to cook the dish.

Cooking Fish and Meat

Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it
from drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and
fish, use low temperature settings (150°C-175°C). For
red meat that should be well done on the outside
while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea
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 rack and place the drip pan beneath it
to catch the fat.
Make sure that the rack 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 the low rack heights.
For savory roasts (especially duck and wild game),
dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.

Cooking Pastries

Always preheat the oven when cooking pastries. Do
not open the door in order to prevent the pastry from
dropping.
The batter or dough should not be too liquidy so that
the cooking time is not excessive. In general:

Pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.

Pastry dropped

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

Pastry is too dark on top

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

Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase

the cooking time.

The pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of

flour.

I used more than one level and they are not all at

the same cooking point

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

Using the Grill

Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating
element situated in the top of the oven chamber. The
centre, or the complete area of the grill can be
selected by turning the SELECTOR knob in a
clockwise direction to align the symbols
the mark on the control panel. The VARIABLE GRILL
knob is positioned to right of the SELECTOR knob.
This knob will provide varying grill temperatures
when rotated from “
adjusted to vary the level of heat at any time during
the grilling operation.

To operate the grill

1. Turn the SELECTOR knob clockwise until the
required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on
the control panel. The element is now “on”.

2. The VARIABLE GRILL knob can now be operated
to select the required heat.

When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower
levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat
and prevent smoke, place a drip pan at the bottom
rack level.
