oUse this control knob to control the
temperature in the oven.
Oven function selector knob
oUse this control knob to select the oven
function and turn on the oven light in the
main oven.

Selecting a cooking function and temperature
Before first use
oTo remove any residue from the oven that may have been left
from the manufacturing process, you should select either the fan
or conventional oven 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 the oven on maximum setting for 30 – 40
minutes.
Selecting an oven function
The oven function selector knob should be turned
clockwise and used to select the particular mode of
cooking that you require. The appliance will utilise
different elements within the oven cavity,
depending on the oven function that you select.
When a function is selected, the power indicator
light will come on.
There are eight cooking functions available on your appliance:
OVEN LIGHT: Separate light control which allows the light to be
switched on, even when the oven is switched off.
DEFROST MODE: The fan runs without heat to reduce the
defrosting time of frozen foods. The time required to defrost the
food will depend on the room temperature, the quantity and t
of food. Always check food packaging for the defrosting
instructions.
ype
CONVENTIONAL OVEN (top and lower element): 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 level only.
12

FAN OVEN: This method of cooking uses the circular element
while the heat is distributed by the fan. This results in a faster
and more economical cooking process. The fan oven allows food
to be cooked simultaneously on different shelf levels, preventing
the transmission of smells and tastes from one dish onto
another.
HALF GRILL: This method of cooking utilises the inner part only
of the top element, which directs heat downwards onto the food.
This function is suitable for grilling small portions of bacon, toast
and meat etc. The thermostat control knob must be turned to its
maximum setting.
FULL GRILL: 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
FAN AND GRILL: This method of cooking utilises the top
element in conjunction with the fan, which helps to provide a
quick circulation of heat. This function is suitable where quick
browning is required and “sealing” the juices in, such as steaks,
hamburgers, some vegetables etc.
FAN AND LOWER ELEMENT: This method of cooking utilises
the bottom element in conjunction with the fan, which helps to
circulate the heat. This function is suitable for sterilising and
preserving jars.
Thermostat control knob
The oven thermostat control knob should be turned
clockwise and it sets the required temperature of
the oven. It is possible to regulate the temperature
within a range of 60 - 250°C.

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.
oIf you are using the fan oven function, then you should follow
the information given on the food packaging for this particular
mode of cooking.
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 operating light has gone off. You can choose not to pre-
heat when using the fan oven mode; however you should extend
the cooking time given on the food packaging by approximately
ten minutes.
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.
Warnings
oKeep the main oven door closed when using any of the grill or
oven functions.
oDo not use aluminium foil to cover the grill pan 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 shelves
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.
oThe drip tray handle should only be used to reposition the drip
tray and NOT for removing it from the oven cavity. When
removing the drip tray, you should ALWAYS use an oven glove.
oThe drip tray handle should not be left in position when the
appliance is switched on.
oIMPORTANT: In case of fire, close the main valve of the gas
supply and switch off the electricity supply to the appliance.
NEVER pour water onto burning oil.
Using the minute minder
The minute minder can be used independently of
an oven cooking function for a time period of up
to 60 minutes.
oTo set the timer, turn the knob fully clockwise until it stops and
then turn it back anticlockwise to the required time.
oThe time period that has been set will expire when the control
knob reaches zero, a brief audible signal will sound.
15

Using the hob top
The following symbols will appear on the control panel, next to each
control knob:
Black circle: gas off
Large flame: maximum setting
Small flame: minimum setting
oThe minimum setting is at the end of the anti-clockwise rotation
of the control knob.
oAll operation positions must be selected between the maximum
and minimum positions.
oNever select a knob position between the maximum and off
position.
Electric ignition
To ignite a burner:
oPress in the control knob of the burner that you wish to light and
turn it anti-clockwise to the spark symbol which is just after the
maximum position.
oWhilst keeping the control knob depressed, press the hob
ignition button and the burner will light. Keep the hob ignition
button pressed down until the burner is fully lit.
oIn case of power failure, the burners can be lit by carefully using
a match.
16

Energy saving tips
oThe diametre of the bottom of the pan should correspond to that
of the burner.
oThe burner flame must never extend beyond the diametre of the
pan.
oUse flat bottomed pans only
oWhen possible, keep a lid on the pan whilst cooking.
oCook vegetables with as little water as possible, to reduce
cooking times.
IMPORTANT: Always place pans centrally over the hob burners and
position them so that the handles cannot get accidentally caught or
knocked off. You should also make sure that the handle is not over one
of the other hob burner flames.
17

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.
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 and function 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 drip 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.
18

Cleaning the hob burners
The hob burners should be cleaned once a week or more frequently if
they get soiled.
oRemove the hob burners by pulling them upwards and away
from the hob top.
oSoak them for about ten minutes in hot water and a little
detergent.
oAfter cleaning and washing them, wipe and dry them carefully.
oBefore placing the burners back on the hob top, make sure that
the gas jet is not blocked.
oIMPORTANT: Make sure that you reassemble the burners in the
original way.
Replacing the oven bulb
IMPORTANT: The oven must be disconnected from
your mains supply before you attempt to either
remove or replace the oven bulb.
oRemove all oven shelves
and the drip tray.
oUnscrew the lamp cover.
oUnscrew the bulb and
remove it from its holder.
oReplace the bulb with a 25 W/300°C, screw type pigmy.
oDo not use any other type of bulb.
oScrew the lamp cover back into its original position.
19

Removing the oven door for cleaning
oOpen the oven door fully.
oThe hinges (A) are provided with two movable hooks (B).
oRotate the hooks into the slot (C).
oYou should grip the sides of the door at the centre and then
incline it slightly towards the oven cavity and then by pulling it
gently away from the oven cavity.
oIMPORTANT: You should make sure that the door is supported
at all times and that you place the door on some padded
material whilst cleaning it.
oThe oven door and door glass should only be cleaned using a
damp cloth and a small amount of detergent. The cloth MUST
NOT have come into contact with any form of cleaning product
or chemical previously.
oReplace the oven door by introducing the hinges back into their
relevant slots. Before closing the doors DO NOT FORGET TO
RESET THE MOVABLE HOOKS.
oDO NOT attempt to move the hooks whilst the door is not
attached to the oven, as the hinges are under high spring
tension and injury may result.
Removing the inner door glass for cleaning
oDo not use any abrasive cleaner that could cause damage.
oRemember that if the surface of the glass panel becomes
scratched, this could lead to a dangerous failure.
oTo facilitate cleaning, the door glass can be lifted out after
