Oven function control knob (Fig. 2)
The oven function control knob can have the following
symbols and functions:
Oven Light - The oven light will be on
without any cooking function
Conventional cooking - The heat comes
from both the top and bottom element,
ensuring even heating inside the oven.
Top heating element - The heat comes
from the top of the oven only.
Bottom heating element - The heat comes
from the bottom of the oven only.
or Inner grill element only - can be used for
grilling small quantities.
or Double Grill - The full grill element will be
on.
or Thermal Grilling - This function offers an al-
ternative method of cooking food items,
normally associated with conventional
grilling. The grill element and the oven
fan operate together, circulating hot air
around the food. When using this
function, select a maximum temperature of 200°C and do not exceed 1 hour
of operation.
- Fan cooking - This allows you to roast or
roast and bake simoultaneously using any
shelf, without flavour transference.

When the oven is first installed
Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the
oven accessories.
The oven will work only if the time of day has
been set with the electronic programmer.
Once the oven has been installed:
F
a) set the thermostat knob to MAX (250);
b) switch the oven function control knob to conventional
cooking ( );
c) allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes;
d) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This
is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of
manufacturing.
Repeat this operation for the grill and fan cooking function.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down,
then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water.

FO 2161
To open the oven door, always catch the
handle in its central part (Fig. 4).
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. The shelf positions are counted
from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.
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.
Telescopic shelf supports (fig. 6)
- Mod. BMF 849: Shelf level 2 is fitted with telescopic
shelf supports.
- Mod. BMS 841: Shelf levels 2 and 4 are fitted with
telescopic shelf supports.
1. Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf supports
completely out, as shown in the diagram.
2. Place the shelf or the grill pan on the telescopic shelf
supports, as shown in the diagram, then gently push
them all inside the oven.
Do not attempt to close the oven door if the
telescopic shelf supports are not completely
inside the oven. This could damage the door
enamel and glass.
