Oven functions
Grill
Top & Bottom Element
Bottom Element
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 ofmeat.
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 placing 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 ensuring that there are 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 by 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 cakes from dropping or sinking, do not open the oven door during baking.
If the cake or pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10℃and reduce the cooking time.
If the cake or pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10℃.
If the cake or pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
If the cake or pastry is cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
If the cake or 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 temperature settings 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.

Using your Freestanding Cooker
Using the hotplates 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.
Solid Hotplates
l The strong solid-cast hotplates give wide contact for cooking.
l The hotplates are sealed all around which means that spilt liquids cannot get under the hotplates.
Before first use
l The top surface of the hotplates are sealed with a heat
resistant coating. Before using for the first time, the hotplates
should be heated for a short period without a pan to harden the
protective coating. 1
1
l Turn the heat setting to high for approx. 3 minutes to fully harden
the coating. When the hotplates have cooled, apply a thin coating
of cooking oil to the hotplate to seal and protect the surface.

Cleaning
WARNING! Isolate the power supply to the appliance and make sure that the cooker is cool.
Before cleaning your cooker or performing maintenance, make sure that the cooking mode selection knob
and the cooking temperature selection knob is set to ‘OFF’. To extend the life of your cooker, it must be
cleaned frequently. The inside of the cooker should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is
still warm (but not hot), with warm water and soap. The soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried
thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers, acidic cleaners such as lime scale remover, etc, as
these could damage the enamel, and can result in the development of rust and corrosion. If stains are
particularly tough to remove, use cleaners specifically recommended to clean cookers and follow the
instructions provided with the cleaner.
Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning inside the cooker.
Do not clean using caustic creams, abrasive cleaning powders, thick wire wool or hard tools. Enamelled parts of
the cooker can be damaged if excess cleaning liquids are not immediately removed.
After cleaning the interior parts of the cooker with a soapy cloth, rinse it and then dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
Clean the glass surfaces with special glass cleaning agents.
Never use flammable agents like acid, thinner or petrol when cleaning your appliance.
Do not clean your cooker with a steam cleaner.
Do not wash any part of your cooker in a dishwasher.
Enamelled Parts:
In order to keep enamelled parts as new, it is necessary to clean them frequently with mild warm soapy water
and then dry with a cloth. Do not wash them while hot and never use abrasive powders or abrasive cleaning
materials. Do not leave anything spilled onto enamelled parts for long periods of time.
Stainless Steel:
Stainless steel parts must be cleaned frequently with mildly warm soapy water and a soft sponge and then
dried with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or abrasive cleaning materials. Do not leave anything
spilled onto stainless steel parts for long periods of time.
