The main oven is provided with 7 different cooking
functions.  For each of them, a pre-set
temperature will be automatically selected.

1. Press button      or      to select the required

oven function.  Each time button      or       is
depressed, a neon will flash on next to the
currently selected function. Once you have
selected the function you require wait 5 seconds
and the neon will stop flashing and remain
constant confirming your choice.

2. The temperature will set automatically.  If the

pre-set temperature is not suitable, press
button      or        to adjust the temperature in 5
degree steps until the required temperature
setting is reached.

You can also get the current main oven internal 
temperature by pressing button       and 
together.  The temperature will be displayed for 10
seconds and then it will return to the set
temperature.
If the internal temperature is higher than the
selected temperature (e.g. when a cooking
function has been completed the oven is hot) the
internal temperature will not be displayed.              

To switch off a function simply press     or     once.
The neon will go out and the display will return to
the time of day.

TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected. 

To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until
the shelf stop is reached.  Tilt shelf up at the front
so that the stops clear the side supports.  Lift shelf
clear.  To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.
Each shelf position has an upper and lower
support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between
these two support wires.

COOKING FUNCTIONS
Pizza Baking
 - This setting can be used for foods
such as pizzas, quiches or pies, where base
browning and crispness are required.
The top and lower elements operate in conjunction
with the fan oven.
Fan Cooking - This setting allows you to roast or
roast and bake simultaneously using any shelf,
without flavour transference.

Conventional Cooking - The heat comes from
both the top and bottom element, ensuring even
heating inside the oven. 
Rotitherm Grilling/Fan Assisted 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. Select a maximum temperature
of 220°C
.
Single Grill - The full grill element will be on. 
Bottom Heating Element - The heat comes from
the bottom of the oven only, to allow you to finish
your dishes.
Defrost - Defrosts most foods faster than some
conventional methods.  It is particularly suitable for
delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold.
