Before first use
Rating plate
This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and
can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some
models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse
or circuit breaker.
The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.
Warning! Do not remove the rating plate from the
appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.

Preparing to use your appliance
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth using
hot soapy water. Wash the furniture before use.
We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill for 10 – 15
minutes at maximum temperature, to burn off any residue
from their surfaces. Accessible parts may become hotter
than in normal use. Children should be kept away. During
this period an odor may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
4
The cooling fan
The cooling fan comes on immediately the top oven or
grill is switched on. It may run on after the ovens are
switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the
cooling down period the cooling fan may switch on and
off.
Warning! Always allow the cooling fan to cool the
appliance down before switching off the electrical
supply to carry out cleaning or maintenance.
Control panel indicator neon(s)
The indicator neon will operate when the oven(s) is
switched on. The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on
and off during use to show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon does not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all
controls to zero and reset following the instructions for
the required setting.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling
kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to escape.
However, always stand back from the appliance when
opening the door(s) 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 appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and
produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not
caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away condensation and foodstuff from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the appliance
should be securely fixed to the wall.
Cookware
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly
against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12” x
14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may
affect performance.
Setting the Time
The oven only operates when the time has been set.

Initial Cleaning
Before using the oven for the first time you should clean
it thoroughly.
Warning! Do not use any caustic, abrasive cleaners!
The surface could be damaged.
To clean metal fronts use commercially available
cleaning agents.
1. Turn the oven function switch to oven lighting .
2. Remove all accessories and the shelf support rails
and wash them with warm water and washing up liquid.
3. Then wash out the oven with warm water and wash-
ing-up liquid, and dry.
4. Wipe the front of the appliance with a damp cloth.
Operation
The top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated
by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives
especially good results if used to cook fruitcakes, sweet
and savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is ideal for use as a warming compartment.
It can be used to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the
lowest setting on the top oven temperature control.
Warning! Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as
damage to the glass may occur.

Important! Always grill with the door closed.
Switching the Oven On and Off
1. Turn the oven functions dial to the desired function.
2. Turn the temperature selector to the desired temperature.
3. To turn the oven off, turn the oven functions dial and
the temperature selector to the Off position.
The power indicator is lit as long as the oven is in
operation.
The temperature pilot light is lit as long as the oven
is heating up.
The fan switches on automatically in order to keep
the appliance’s surfaces cool. When the oven is
switched off, the fan continues to run to cool the appliance
down, then switches itself off automatically.

Baking
Oven levels
• Baking with Conventional Cooking is only possible on
one level.
• When baking with Fan Cook ing one to two baking trays
can be put into the bottom oven at the same time:
1 tray, e.g. oven level 3
1 cake in cake tin, e.g. oven level 1
2 tray, e.g. oven levels 1 and 3
Baking tins
• Baking tins made from dark-coloured metal with Teflon
coating are suitable for baking using Conventional
Cooking.
• For baking using the Fan Cooking function, baking tins
made of shiny light-coloured metal are suitable.
General instructions
• Insert the tray with the bevel at the front.
• When baking using Conventional Cooking and Fan
Cooking , you can also place two baking trays next to
one another on one level. This does not significantly
affect the baking time.
When frozen items are placed on baking trays, they
can buckle during cooking. This happens due to the
large difference in temperature between the frozen item
and the oven. After cooling, the buckling in the trays disappears.

How to use the Baking Tables
• The tables give the required temperature settings,
cooking times and oven levels for a selection of typical
dishes.
• Temperatures and baking times are for guidance only,
as these will depend on the consistency of pastry,
dough or mixture, the amount and the type of baking
tin.
• We recommend setting the oven to a lower temperature
for the first time and only setting a higher temperature
when required, e.g. if you require more browning or if
the baking is taking too long.
• If you cannot find the settings for a certain recipe, look
for similar items.
• The baking time can be 10-15 minutes longer when
baking cakes on trays or in tins on multiple levels.
• Recipes with moist ingredients such as pizzas or fruit
flans are to be baked on one level.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights may brown at
an uneven rate at first. You should not change the
temperature setting if this occurs. Different rates of
browning even out as baking progresses.
• Baking and roasting times could differ from those of
your previous oven. For this reason you should adjust
the settings you usually use (temperature, cooking
times, etc.) and oven levels to the recommendations
provided in the following tables.
Roasting
Ovenware for roasting
• Any heat-resistant ovenware is suitable to use for
roasting. (Please follow the manufacturer's instructions.)
• You can place large roasts directly in the roasting tray
or on the shelf with the roasting tray underneath.
• We recommend roasting leaner cuts in a roasting pan
with a lid. The meat will be more succulent.
• All types of meat which are supposed to be browned
or form a crust or crackling can be roasted in a roasting
pan without a lid.
The information given in the following tables is for
guidance only.
• We recommend meat and fish weighing 1 kg or more
for roasting in the oven.
• To prevent escaping meat juices or fat from burning
on to the pan, we recommend placing some liquid in
the roasting cookware.
• If required, turn the roast after 1/2 - 2/3 of the cooking
time.
• Use the cooking juices to baste large roasts and poultry
several times during the cooking time. This will give
better roasting results.
Hints and tips when using the grill
• Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill
pan to allow maximum circulation of air and to lift the
food out of the fats and juices.
• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food.
• Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for gentler cooking.
• Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly
with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist
during cooking.
• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms
may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.
• When toasting bread, use the shelf in the top position
with the grid in the ‘high’ position.
• Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes
before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking.
• The food should be turned over during cooking as required.
• When using the centre section grill, ensure food is
placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath
the grill element.
Hints and tips when using the top oven
• Arrange the shelves in the required positions before
switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are counted
from the bottom upwards.
• There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the
top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking
results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures,
Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry,
scones bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.
• Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and
there is sufficient room around the baking tray/dish to
allow for maximum circulation.
