Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. The Cooling Fan for the Controls This oven is provided with a cooling fan, meant to keep the front panel, the knobs and the oven door handle cool. This fan may run on after the oven or grill is switched off, until a normal temperature is reached. 0 20 45 150 Once the oven temperature has been selected, the temperature light will come on and remain on until the oven has reached the correct setting; after that, it will go on and off with the thermostat, showing how the temperature is being maintained. 100 Thermostat control light (°C) 50 MAX 90 75 60 5 When the oven is first installed Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the oven accessories. F Once the oven has been installed: a) set the thermostat knob to MAX (250); b) switch the oven function control knob to conventional cooking ( ); c) allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes; d) open a window for ventilation. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of manufacturing. Repeat this operation for the grill and fan cooking function. Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down, then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water. Fig. 4 FO 2161 To open the oven door, always catch the handle in its central part (Fig. 4). 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. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram. Do not place cookware directly on the oven base. Fig. 5 FO 0019 4 3 2 1 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. 6 Using the oven Always cook with the oven door closed Conventional cooking Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature. If you need more heat from the bottom of the oven, turn the oven function control knob to (bottom heating element only). Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping pan in the first position from the bottom with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base. White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 °C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher temperature (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is recommended. Fan cooking Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( - ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature. The fan behind the back panel circulates heated air into the oven. If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven at the same time, place the shelves on the first and third position from the bottom (fig. 7). If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this will give you better results. Hints and Tips on baking Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking, between 150 and 200 °C. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results through the oven door glass. Grilling Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature. With the setting on the "double grill" function, you will obtain even heating on the whole surface of the dish. When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil on them and always place them on the oven grid. The shelf level depends on the thinckness of the food. Always place the dripping pan at the lowest level, with some water in it, to avoid smoke and unpleasant smells. Hints and Tips on grilling If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them. In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending on meat or fish's thickness. Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some water in it. Defrosting Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF position (symbol : l). The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C. Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking trays, oven dishes, etc. Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a heat build-up which could affect the performance of the oven and damage the oven enamel. Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if overheated. For the same reason, be careful when placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke. Fan cooking 4 3 2 1 Fig. 7 FO 0351 7 Cooking Tables Conventional and fan cooking WEIGHT (GR.)
