In the example shown, the cooking time has been programmed first; the ready time was calculated
automatically and was set by us. It is also possible first to program the ready time. In that case, the cooking time
will be calculated automatically and should be updated afterwards.
In case of mains power loss
Your oven will be inoperative for safety reasons. At that time, the clock will appear as a flashing 0:00 together
with the ‘A’ symbol. Any cooking program in progress will also be cancelled. The clock will show 0:00, it should
be reset manually. Firstly, enter manual mode and adjust the clock using ‘+’ or ‘–’ buttons.
Note: In case of short duration mains power loss, system will keep its settings itself.
Note: If you will do plan to use your oven right now, be sure that that it is in ‘OFF’ position.
Flashing ‘A’ shows that the oven is inoperative and you should enter manual mode in order
to return it to normal working conditions.

Oven functions
Grill
Top & Bottom Element
Bottom Element
Fan
Oven Light
Grill - The top central heating elements come on. The extremely high and direct temperature of the
grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking the juices in to keep
them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the
surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc.
Top & Bottom Element - Hot air comes from the upper and lower elements in the oven. This is
called Conventional cooking and is ideal for joints of meat.
Fan - When set to Fan mode, the element and the fan operate providing a consistent heat distributed
uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking foods on multiple shelves at
the same temperature.
Bottom Element - Bottom element cooking is used for foods that typically need cooking with heat
from underneath. Cakes and Bread are examples of where this function would be useful.
Oven light -The oven light will operate on all oven functions.
Using your appliance for the first time
The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the temperature setting to the
highest mark. Set the function switch control knob to a cooking mode and leave the oven on for about
40-60 minutes with nothing in it and the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and allow the oven
to cool. Any odour that may be detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage.

Using your Freestanding Cooker
General oven and cooking tips
General Oven Tips:
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back of the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed level with the front edge of the oven’s
wire shelves. Other containers should be placed centrally. Keep all trays and containers away from
the back of the oven, as over-browning of the food may occur.
For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a baking tray is 340 mm (13½”) by 340
mm (13½”).
When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs
may get very hot.
l Always leave 1cm gap between dishes on the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate freely
around them.
l To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly
or brush lightly with cooking oil.
l Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place them on a baking tray.

Using your Freestanding Cooker
Practical Cooking Advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives that allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.
With time, you will learn how to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance. The following directions
are only a guideline which may be varied according to your own personal experience.
Preheating
You should always preheat your oven before placing food in it to cook.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.
Using the Grill
Use the grill mode place the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack from
the bottom) due to the central part of the top heating element being active.
Please use the grill pan set provided to ensure that there is no unwanted spillages formed inside your oven.
When using this mode, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting. However, this does
not mean that you cannot use lower temperatures, by simply adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired
temperature.
When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat to 200℃, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been
preheated thoroughly. To prevent cake from dropping/sinking – do not open the oven door during baking.
If Cake / Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10℃and reduce the cooking time.
If Cake / Pastry has dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10℃.
If Cake / Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
If Cake / Pastry is cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
If Cake / Pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use greaseproof paper.
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use a temperature setting from 180℃to 200℃.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start
with a high temperature setting (200℃-220℃) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount
of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the
meat with lard or bacon on the top.

17
Using your Freestanding Cooker
Using the hob of your cooker
l Do not use pots and pans which are unsteady, as these could become un-sturdy.
l Do not use mats, heat diffusers or wok stands. These will cause a temperature build-up which can
damage the hob.
l Do not let cooking pots overspill; this could leave a mark and residue on the hob.
Choosing Cooking Pots
Look at this diagram below which shows you which pans to use on the hotplates and which pans should
not be used
l Always use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste energy and cook slowly.
l Always use pots and pans which are slightly larger than the hotplate. Small pans waste energy.
l Always put dry pots and pans on the hotplates.

18
