Always allow the oven to cool down and switch off the electrical supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work. During Use · · This oven is intended for domestic cooking only. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes. Appliances become very hot with use, and retain their heat for long periods after use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven. 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.

The Safety Thermostat 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. 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. 1. Switch the oven function control knob to conventional cooking . 2. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX. 4. Open a window for ventilation. 5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes. This procedure should be repeated with the grill function for approximately 5-10 minutes. 5 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. Be careful when you insert and remove the grid and the dripping pan from the oven in order not to damage the enamelled surfaces of the oven cavity. 4 3 2 1 FO 0285 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 oven proof cookware which will withstand temperatures of 230°C. Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be 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 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. Attention! - Do not place objects on the oven base and do not cover any part of the oven with aluminium foil while cooking, as this could cause a heat build-up which would affect the baking results and damage the oven enamel. Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium trays on the grid which has been inserted in the 6 oven shelves. The Conventional Oven When using this setting, heat comes from both the top and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on a single level and is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. How to use the conventional oven 1. Turn the oven function control knob to the required cooking function ( ). 2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the required temperature. Cooking Chart The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10 °C to suit individual preferences and requirements. NOTE: Shelf positions are counted from bottom of the oven.

It may also be used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked through. THINGS TO NOTE · 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. Hints and Tips The middle shelf position allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position. The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning. Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning. Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning easier. Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur. - } - 7 Grilling Grilling must be carried out with the oven door closed. The grill pan handle must be removed from the pan. Cooking Chart Cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat and not on its weight. How to Use the Grill 1. Turn the oven control function knob to . Type of food Mins per side 2-5 15 - 20 5-8 6 - 12 10 - 15 10 - 12 3-6 6 - 10 8 - 12 1 - 11/2 2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the required temperature. 3. 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 more gentle cooking. 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. During cooking, the thermostat control light will operate in the same way as described for the conventional oven function. Bacon rashers Chicken joints Gammon rashers Lamb chops Pork chops Sausages (turning as required) Steaks (average thickness) Rare Medium Well done Toast Hints and Tips 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. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred 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, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position The food should be turned over during cooking, as required. - - OIL The grill element is controlled by the thermostat. During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to prevent overheating. 8 Cleaning the Oven Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to cool the cooker down before switching off at the electricity supply. The oven should be kept clean at all times. A buildup of fats or other foodstuffs could result in a fire, especially in the grill pan. Oven Cavity The enamelled base of the oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm. Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water aft ...
