Defrost function

Thermostat control knob Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to select temperatures between 50°C and 250°C.

Thermostat control light

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

Before the First Use of the Cooker

Before first use ensure that the room is well ventilated, V.M.C. (Mechanic

ventilation), or a window is open.

Remove all packaging both inside and outside of the cooker, before using it.

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

1. Remove the oven accessories.

2. Detach the adhesive labels and any foil protection if there is any.

3. Turn the oven function control knob to fan cooking.

4. Turn the thermostat control knob to 250°C.

5. Allow the oven to run for about 30 min.

This procedure should be repeated with the gr ill for about 10 min.

During cooking in the oven the oven door will become hot. Take care that

children do not play near it.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

Use

Clean the accessories with a mild detergent. Rinse and dry carefully.

Main oven light

This light will illuminate when the oven/grill knob is turned on and remains lit while the oven is in operation.

Oven thermostat pilot light

This light will illuminate when a temperature is selected and remain lit until the selected temperature has been reached. It then cycles on and off to indicate that the temperature is being maintained.

Using the electric oven

Fan Cooking

The air inside the oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven. The advantages of fan cooking are:

Faster Preheating

As the oven quickly r eaches temperature, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking times. For recipes which require higher temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones soufflés etc.

Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires temperatures 20-25°C lower than conventional cooking.

Even Heating for Baking

The fan oven has even heating on all shelf positions. This means that batches of the same food can be cooked in the oven at the same time. There is no mixing of flavours.

Please note that shelf positions are counted from the top downwards.

Using the electric grill

Grilling

Heat comes from the top of the oven. It is suitable for grilling meat that remains tender, for toast or to brown already cooked.

The grill pan will become hot during use, always use oven gloves when removing or replacing a hot grill pan.

When grilling, the accessible parts of the appliance are hot. Take care that children do not play near it.

Always grill with the door closed.

· Prepare the meat to be grilled, lightly brush it

with oil on both sides.

· Place it on the grill.

· Turn the oven knob to the grill position

· Slide the shelf into position 1 or 2 depending

on the thickness of the meat to be grilled.

· Use guide 2 for thick pieces to be roasted

(beef bacon, large fish, poultry).

· When the first side is brown, turn the meat

without pricking it in order that the juices are not lost.

· Grill the second side.

· Flavour when ending the cooking.

Cooking time has to determined by the thickness of the piece to be grilled not by its weight.

Browning

· Turn the oven knob to the grill position .

· Place the dish on the grid and slide it in the

guide 2 or 3.

· Leave the dish under the radiation of the grill

for a few minutes.

Using the Defrost function

Turn the oven function control knob to defrost and ensure that the thermostat control knob is set to OFF.

The fan operates without heat and circ ulates air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This function is particularly suitable for delicate foods which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux, pastries, bread and other yeast products.

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 ovenproof cookware, which will withstand temperatures of 250

Oven dishes, etc. should not be placed directly on the oven base.

Oven Cooking

· Turn off the oven 5 minutes before the end of

cooking time, and use residual heat to complete the cooking.

· The thickness, the material and the colour of

the pan will influence the cooking results.

· When cooking, certain dishes increase in

volume, ensure the pan is large enough.

· To prevent fat dripping when roasting us e tall

rim pans proportional to the item being roasted.

· Prick the skin of poultry and sausages with a

fork before cooking to avoid spitting.

Use heatproof glass dishes for soufflés.

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, anodised aluminium,

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