Service Child Safety This oven is designed to be operated by adults. Do not allow children to play near or with the oven. The oven gets hot when it is in use. Children should be kept away until it has cooled. Environmental Information After installation, please dispose of the packaging with due regard to safety and the environment. When disposing of an old appliance, make it unusable, by cutting off the cable. Remove any door catches, to prevent small children being trapped inside. During Use This oven is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes. Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil. Do not allow heatproof cooking material, e.g. roasting bags, to come into contact with oven elements. Never place plastic or any other material which may melt in or on the oven. Do not place sealed cans or aerosols inside the oven. They may explode if they are heated. Do not hang towels, dishcloths or clothes from the oven or its handle. Do not use this oven if it is in contact with water and never operate it with wet hands. Take great care when heating fats and oils as they will ignite if they become too hot. Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food in the oven. Ensure that all control knobs are in the OFF position when not in use. Do not leave cookware containing foodstuffs, e.g. fat or oil in or on the oven in case it is inadvertently switched ON. When using other electrical appliances, ensure the cable does not come into contact with the hot surfaces of the oven. Keep this instruction book for future reference and ensure it is passed on to any new owner.

Nevertheless, in order to ensure the highest safety level, and avoid small children to be exposed to the heat when the appliance is operated, it is possible to fit a special protection device to the oven door. This device can be purchased in our Service Force Centres, specifying the relevant code (35791) and the Product No. shown on the rating plate. Description of the Appliance Electronic timer Mains on Light Thermostat Control Light Oven Function Control Knob Thermostat Control Knob Control Panel Grill Element Rating Plate Oven door 3 Controls Oven Function Control Knob Oven Light - The oven light will be on without any cooking function. Inner grill element only - can be used for grilling small quantities. Double Grill - The full grill element will be on. 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. Fan Oven cooking - This allows you to roast or roast and bake simoultaneously using any shelf, without flavour transference. Defrost Setting - This setting is intended to assist in thawing of frozen food. Thermostat Control Knob Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to select temperatures between 50°C and 250°C (MAX). 50 MAX 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. Accessories Grill/ Roasting pan Grill trivet Anti-tip shelf (x 2) Removable handles 4 0 150 This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequent over-heating, the safety device will stop the power supply to the appliance. If this happens, call your local Service Force Centre. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. 20 The Safety Thermostat 100 24 hour Clock and Timer Minute minder Cooking duration End of cooking time Manual function Cookpot symbol - This will be displayed when a program is in operation.

F TO CANCEL A PROGRAMME 6 Before the First Use Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven, before using the appliance. Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal. F 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Set the programmer to manual function. Switch the oven function control knob to fan cooking . Set the thermostat control knob to MAX. Open a window for ventilation. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes. This procedure should be repeated with the grill function for approximately 5-10 minutes. 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 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. Do not place cookware directly on the oven base. 4 3 2 1 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 discoloration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces. FO 0336 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 base browning. B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning. 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. 7 Using the Fan Oven 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 cooking with this function are: l Faster Preheating As the fan oven quickly reaches 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, souffles, etc. l Lower Temperatures Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking chart or remember to reduce temperatures by about 2025°C for your own recipes which use conventional cooking. l Even Heating for Baking The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf positions. This means that batches of the same food can be cooked in the oven at the same time. However, the top shelf may brown slightly quicker that the lower one. This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours between dishes. FO 2079 F How to Use the Fan Oven 1. Turn the oven function control knob to . 2. Turn the thermostat control to the required temperature. THINGS TO NOTE The oven light will come on when the oven function control knob is set. The oven fan will operate continually during cooking. The thermostat control light will remain on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on and off to show the temperature is being maintained. 8 Cooking Chart This chart is intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suit your individual requirements. Only experience will enable you to determine the correct setting for your personal requirements.
