Before the First Use
Remove
all packaging
, both inside and outside
the oven,
before using the oven.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is quite normal.
The oven will work only if the time of day
has been set.
1. Set the time of day with the electronic programmer
(see chapter "Electronic Programmer").
2. Switch the oven function control knob to fan cooking
.
3. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
4. Open a window for ventilation.
5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Hints and Tips
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 discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
A
Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
B
Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and
dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and base
browning.
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.

Attention!
Do not place pans, dripping pans, biscuit
pans or aluminium foil on the oven bottom. This could
cause a heat build-up which would affect the baking
results and damage the oven enamel.
