Instructions
This user manual must be kept for future reference and use
by someone who is not familiar with the appliance.
Before using the oven, carefully clean the inside with a
non-abrasive detergent and warm water. Position the grill
and tray in their respective runners. Once the operation is
complete, turn the oven on to the maximum temperature
for approximately 20 minutes to remove any traces of
manufacturing grease, oil or resins which may cause
unpleasant odours when cooking.

Once this simple operation has been carried out the oven is
ready to use for cooking.
This appliance is exclusively for domestic use.
Use the oven to cook food only.
Before cooking, make sure all oven accessories that are
not required are removed from the oven.
Pre-heat the oven to the cooking temperature before using it.
Place the cooking trays in the centre of the oven and leave
space in between when using more than one, so that the
air can circulate.
Do not put oven trays on the base of the oven or cover it
with aluminium foil. This will cause thermal accumulation.
The cooking and roasting times will not coincide and the
enamel may be damaged.
Try to open the oven door as little as possible to see the
food (the oven light remains on during cooking).
Take care when opening the door to avoid contact with hot
parts and steam.

depending on the temperature required. The thermostat pilot light turns
on and off to indicate the temperature control during use.
> The required cooking mode is selected using the multi-functional control
button. The functions that may be selected are:
Oven Light
Turning control knob to this setting, the oven
light will illuminate in the oven cavity, and
will operate on all selected functions.
Conventional
Cooking
Upper and lower heating element come on.
Heat is distributed by natural convection and
this means the top half of the oven is warmer
than the bottom half, food should be placed
on a higher shelf if the food is to be crisped.
It is recommended that the oven is
pre-heated for 10-15 minutes before cooking.
Fan Assisted
The top & bottom element plus fan come on
together and the is is dispersed by force
convection. The oven does not require pre-
heating.
Maxi Grill
Grill element comes on and is dispersed by
radiant heat.
Fan Assisted Grill
Grill element comes on and is dispersed
by the rear fan. Even distribution of heat is
attained in the cavity.
> Oven door should be open when using grill function.
> Read the information of the food packaging for the cooking
temperatures and times. Once familiar with the performance of the
appliance, the temperatures and times may be varied to adapt them to
your personal tastes.
> Check that frozen food is completely thawed before cooking, unless
indicated otherwise.

2To clean the stainless steel external parts, use a soft cloth
with soap and water; do not use any powdered products
that contain abrasive substances.
Normally, wiping with a damp soft cloth and warm detergent is enough, but
for stubborn stains the following is recommended:
Cleaning the oven cavity

> Wear rubber gloves to prevent the cleaner coming into contact with your
skin and make sure the kitchen is well-ventilated to disperse the fumes
produced by the cleaner. Repeat if necessary.
> Also avoid the use of acid or alkaline substances (lemon juice, vinegar,
salt, tomatoes, etc.). Avoid using products containing chlorine, acid or
abrasive substances specially for cleaning the varnished walls. Do not
use thick steel wool or hard utensils, as they can damage the surface
