Accessible parts may be hot when
the oven is used. Young children
should be kept away.
Always turn the control knob to off (
)
when cooking has finished.
Please note: The appliance incorporates
a safety thermostat which cuts the elec-
tric supply to the oven if the temperature
becomes excessive.
When using the oven
As part of the cooking process, hot air is
expelled through a vent at the rear of
the oven. When opening the oven door,
care should be taken to avoid any possi-
ble contact with potentially hot air, since
this may cause discomfort to people with
sensitive skin. We recommend that you
hold the underneath of the oven door
handle.
Preheating
Always allow the oven to pre-heat until
the neon switches off for the first time
especially when cooking sensitive items
such as souffle and Yorkshire puddings
or, when cooking bread.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even brown-
ing, the maximum size baking trays and
roasting tins that should be used are as
follows;
Baking tray
350mm x 280mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to 16
small cakes.
Roasting tin
370mm x 320mm
We recommend that you use good quali-
ty cookware. Poor quality trays and tins
may warp when heated, leading to
uneven baking results.

USING THE OVEN
Using the main oven
The oven temperature control should be
turned clockwise and used to select the
particular mode of cooking that you require.
If you turn the dial clockwise and select the
first symbol, this will start the defrost
function. If you continue turning the dial and
set the oven to a temperature, then the fan
oven setting is selected.
There are two cooking functions
available on your appliance:
DEFROST MODE:
The fan runs
without heat to reduce the
defrosting time of frozen foods.
The time required to defrost the
food will depend on the room temperature,
the quantity and type of food. Always check
food packaging for the defrosting
instructions.
FAN OVEN:
This method of
cooking uses the circular element
while the heat is distributed by
the fan. This results in a faster and more
economical cooking process. The fan oven
allows food to be cooked simultaneously on
different shelves, preventing the
transmission of smells and tastes from one
dish onto another.
