Connecting to the Mains
When you first connect the oven to the mains supply, the unit will be in Standby Mode. Function symbols will not
be lit and dials will be inactive.
First Time Use of the Oven
1. Unpack the oven. Remove any insert cards or plastic bags and all accessories. Use a damp cloth to carefully
wipe the interior and exterior of the oven. Clean all the detachable parts in hot, soapy water before using.
2. Turn the Function Control Dial to . Set the Thermostat Control Dial to 200˚C.
3. Heat the oven on maximum for 45mins. There may be a little smoke and odour upon initial start up (for
about 15mins). This is normal. It is due to the protective substance on the heating elements which protects
them from the effects of corrosion during shipping from the factory.
4. To return to Standby mode, turn the Thermostat Control Dial to “0”.
Using the Oven
1. Set the required cooking mode by turning the Function Control Dial.
2. Set the required temperature by turning the Thermostat Control Dial.
3. After cooking, turn the Thermostat Control Dial to the “0” position.
To save energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend these hints:
• Use the oven efficiently, by cooking multiple trays of food at the same time.
• Select the correct shelf location for the food being cooked.
• Do not open the oven door more than necessary.
• After the oven is turned off it retains heat for some time.
• Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread.
Baking
• We recommend using the baking tray provided with your cooker.
• It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought elsewhere which should be put on the wire shelf; when
baking it is better to use black trays which conduct heat better and shorten the baking time.
• Cooking containers with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using the conventional heating
method (top and bottom heaters), use of such tins can result in undercooking the cakes.
• Before the cake is taken out of the oven, check if it is ready using a skewer (if the cake is ready the skewer should
come out dry and clean after being inserted into the cake).
Roasting Meat
• Use heatproof ovenware for roasting with handles that are also resistant to high temperatures.
• When roasting on a shelf we recommend that you place a baking tray with a small amount of water on the
lowest level of the oven.
• It is advisable to turn the meat over at least once during the roasting time and you should baste the meat with
its juices. Do not pour cold water over the meat.
