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

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 oven function control knob to conventional
cooking .

2. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.

3. Open a window for ventilation.

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

5. Half way through, reset the oven function control to fan

cooking .

This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

 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.

 Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.

Cookware

 Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand

temperatures of 250°C.

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

directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or 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.

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 discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Before the First Use

Using the Oven

To open the oven door, always catch
the handle in its central part
