Selecting a cooking function and temperature
After your appliance is connected to your mains supply for the first
time, the numbers on the timer display will flash. Before you select a
cooking function you should set the time of day (see previous section
for how to do this).
Before first use
oTo remove any residue from the oven that may have been left
from the manufacturing process, you should select the
conventional oven or grill function and turn the thermostat dial
to its maximum temperature setting.
oIt is perfectly normal for a smell to be produced during this
process.
oYou should make sure that any windows in the room are left
open during this process.
oIt is advisable for you not to remain in the room whilst the
burning off process is taking place.
oYou should leave each oven on maximum setting for 30 – 40
minutes.
oIMPORTANT: You should not burn off both ovens
simultaneously.
oAfter both cavities have cooled, they should then be cleaned with
warm soapy water, using either a sponge or soft cloth. No
abrasive cleaners should be used.
oOuter parts of the oven should be cleaned with warm soapy
water, using either a sponge or soft cloth. No abrasive cleaners
should be used.

15
Using the main oven
oThe oven temperature
control knob should be
turned clockwise and used
to select a temperature for
the conventional oven.
oThe indicator light on the
control panel will go out
when the selected
temperature has been
reached inside the oven.
There is one cooking function available in the main oven:
CONVENTIONAL OVEN (main oven only): This method of
cooking provides traditional cooking, with heat from the top
and lower elements. This function is suitable for roasting and
baking on one shelf only.
Using the grill
The grill control knob should be
turned clockwise and used to
select the grill temperature that
you require. We recommend
that you preheat the grill for
five minutes before putting food
into the grill.
IMPORTANT: The grill door
must be closed when using the
grill function.
FULL GRILL (top oven only): This method of cooking
utilises the inner and outer parts of the top element, which
directs heat downwards onto the food. This function is
suitable for grilling medium or large portions of sausages,
bacon, steaks, fish etc… Ideally the thermostat control knob should be
set to 200°C.

16
IMPORTANT: You should ensure that the
handle for the enamelled baking tray is
connected correctly when using it.
Power on indicators
The power light will come on to indicate that the appliance is in
operation. The temperature light will switch off when the temperature
set on the thermostat control knob has been reached. It will cycle on
and off throughout the cooking time.
You should not place food inside the cavity, until the correct
cooking temperature has been reached.
Cooking guidelines
oPlease refer to the information given on food packaging for
guidance on cooking temperatures and times. Once familiar with
the performance of your appliance, temperatures and times can
be varied to suit personal preference.
oFor the main oven you should follow the information given on
food packaging for a conventional oven.
oMake sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before
cooking, unless the instructions on the food packaging advise
that you can “cook from frozen”.
oYou should pre-heat the oven and not place food inside of it until
the oven is properly heated.
oBefore cooking, check that any unused accessories are removed
from the oven.
oPlace cooking trays in the centre of the oven and leave gaps
between the trays to allow air to circulate.
oTry to open the door as little as possible to view the dishes.
oThe oven light will remain on during cooking.

17
Warnings
oKeep the oven door closed when using either the grill or oven
function.
oDo not use aluminium foil to cover the enamelled baking tray or
heat items wrapped in aluminium foil under the grill. The high
reflectivity of the foil could potentially damage the grill element.
oYou should never line the base of your oven with aluminium foil.
oDuring cooking, never place pans or cookware directly onto the
bottom of the oven. They should always be placed on the shelf
provided.
oThe grill heating element becomes extremely hot during
operation, avoid touching it inadvertently when handling the
food which you are grilling.
oIMPORTANT: Be careful when opening the door, to avoid
contact with hot parts and steam.
oIMPORTANT: In case of fire, switch off the electricity supply to
the appliance. NEVER pour water onto burning oil.
oIMPORTANT: You should always grill with the top oven
door closed.
Using the hob top
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the hob surface (see
“Cleaning and maintenance” section).
oYou should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes
at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new
smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on
the heating elements during transit.
oDo not burn off more than one zone at once.
oYou must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on
each zone as you burn it off.

18
Using the hob top zones
oEach zone on the ceramic hob top is controlled by a control
knob.
oTo activate a zone, position the
control knob between 1 – 6.
oYou should select a control knob
position that is suitable for the
particular cooking that you are
carrying out. 6 is the highest
temperature setting and 0 is off.
oWhen you have finished cooking on a particular zone, it is
important to make sure that the control knob is turned back to 0
(the off position).
Hob guidelines
oThe first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
oThe hob top is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and
power.
oThe saucepans must be positioned exactly on the zones for
efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same diameter
as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
oYou should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the surface.
oBefore use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are
clean and dry.
oWhen cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as
they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This
will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
oThe best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of
enameled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich
type bottoms.

19
oIf these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of
heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread
to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.
oPreferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower
heat.
oAlways cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water as
possible to reduce cooking times.
oFor a faster heat up of a zone, you can turn the control knob to
6. Then when the contents of the saucepan are boiling, you may
turn the control knob to a lower setting.
oFood or liquid that has a high sugar content may damage the
hob top if it comes into contact with the hob surface. Any
spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not
prevent the hob surface from becoming damaged.
oIMPORTANT: The hob surface is tough; however it is not
unbreakable and can be damaged. Especially if pointed or hard
objects are allowed to fall on it with some force.
oDO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE BECOMES BROKEN
OR CRACKED. YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE BAUMATIC
SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning operations must only be carried out
when the oven is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your
mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
oThe oven should be thoroughly cleaned before it is operated for
the first time and after each use. This will avoid residual food
stuffs becoming baked on the oven cavity. After residues have
been baked on several times, they are far more difficult to
remove.
oNever clean the oven surfaces by steam cleaning.
oThe oven cavity should only be cleaned with warm soapy water,
using either a sponge or soft cloth. No abrasive cleaners should
be used.

20
oAny stains that may appear on the bottom of the oven will have
originated from food splashes or spilt food, these splashes occur
during the cooking process. These could possibly be a result of
the food being cooked at an excessively high temperature or
being placed in cookware that is too small.
oYou should select a cooking temperature that is appropriate for
the food that you are cooking. You should also ensure that the
food is placed in an adequately sized dish and that you use the
enamelled baking tray where appropriate.
oOuter parts of the oven should only be cleaned with warm soapy
water, using either a sponge or soft cloth. No abrasive cleaners
should be used.
oIf you use any form of oven cleaner on your appliance, then you
must check with the manufacturer of the cleaner that it is
suitable for use on your appliance.
oAny damage that is caused to the appliance by a cleaning
product will not be fixed by Baumatic free of charge, even
if the appliance is within the guarantee period.
Cleaning the hob top
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning
agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with
water and a little washing up liquid.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface;
you should clean it using water and a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob
surface is still warm. You should take care not to burn yourself if
cleaning the hob surface when it is still warm.
After each use
oWipe the appliance over with a damp cloth and a little washing
up liquid.
oDry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
Maintaining the solid plates
oIf something is spilt onto the plate itself, then it can be removed
using a soft brush, plastic or nylon scourer and warm water.
