Cooking Function Symbols

Fan cooking - This setting allows you to
roast or roast and bake simultaneously using
any shelf, without flavour transference.

Conventional cooking - The heat comes
from both the top and bottom element,
ensuring even heating inside the oven.

Full Grill - The full grill element will be on.
Recommended for large quantities.

Pizza Oven - The bottom element provides
direct heat to the base of pizzas, quiches or
pies, while the fan ensures air is circulated to
cook the pizza toppings or pie fillings.

Thermal Grilling - This function offers an
alternative 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. Select a maximum temperature

°C.

of 200
Baking Function - The top and bottom

elements heat the oven cavity and the fan
circulates hot air around your dishes. Best for
baking cakes, biscuits or bread.

Bottom heating element - The heat comes
from the bottom of the oven only, to allow
you finish your dishes.

Inner grill element only - can be used for
grilling small quantities.

After a cooking function has been selected and the
temperature has been adjusted, the cavity will
gradually heat up until the selected temperature is
reached. This will take from 10 to 15 minutes,
depending on selected function and temperature.
If it is necessary to reach the required temperature in
a shorter time, the "Fast Heat Up" Function can be
used.

1) Switch the oven on by pressing button 1.

Before the First Use

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

Before first use, the oven should be heated without

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

i

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. Shelf level 2 is fitted with
telescopic shelf supports (see next page).

• 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.

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.

Hints and Tips

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.

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.

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
underneath browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,

aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking
and underneath browning.
