Using the oven
The oven is fan assisted and evenly distributes the heat throughout the oven. This may reduce the cooking
times compared with a conventional oven so always read the cooking instructions on the packaging when
cooking convenience food.
It is recommended to preheat the oven for a few minutes or wait until the temperature indicator goes off
before placing food in the oven for cooking.
Be careful when using aluminium foil. Do not cover the sides of the oven, the shelf or oven interior. If
wrapping food in foil the cooking time may increase.

Please note: When using for the first time the oven may smell for a short time while burning off dust
and manufacturing residues from the heating elements. This is normal and does not indicate a fault
with the oven.
