Cooling/Venting fan
Your built-in appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. It will operate whenever you are using your
oven or grill and will blow warm air across the top of the oven door. In some appliances the
cooling fan may continue to operate after the appliance is turned off. This is to cool the product.
Condensation
Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may happen when you are cooking large
quantities of food from a cold start. You can minimize condensation by:
• Keeping the amount of water used whilst cooking to a minimum.
• Making sure that the oven door is firmly closed.
• Baking custard in a baking dish that is slightly smaller than the water container.
• Cooking casseroles with the lid on.
NOTE:
If you are using water in cooking, this will turn to steam and may condense outside your
appliance. This is not a problem or fault with your oven.
Operating your oven temperature selector
A thermostat controls the temperature in your appliance. The temperature can be selected within
the specified range. To set the temperature, turn the temperature
selector in a clockwise direction to the desired setting. An indicator
light above the temperature selector will come on. When the
temperature is reached, the heating source switches itself off and the
indicator light goes out. When the oven temperature falls below the
desired setting, the heating source switches on and the indicator light
comes on again. Once the food is cooked, turn the temperature
selector back in an anti-clockwise direction. Do not force it right
round in a clockwise direction as this will result in damage to the
thermostat.
NOTE:
For multifunction ovens the desired cooking function must be selected before the oven will
operate. Once the desired function has been selected, use the temperature selector to set the
required temperature.

Fast heat up (FHU) PON783 only
“Fast heat” can be selected in the initial heat up phase of any cooking function.
During “fast heat” the heat comes from the element surrounding the fan as
well as the smaller element above the food. This allows you to preheat your
oven 30% quicker than on standard “bake”. See page 16 for more
information.
“Fast heat” is not a cooking function. It is used to preheat the oven to the
desired temperature quickly and efficiently. It is recommended to use this
feature when preheating your appliance.
The oven will automatically revert to the set cooking function once the
preset temperature is reached.
Defrost
The “defrost” function uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fan.
You can defrost (thaw) your food before you cook it. You can also use
“defrost” to raise your yeast dough and to dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.
