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 (for the B153SS-A the
conventional oven setting should be used) 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.
10

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 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 on indicator neon
will come on.
B153SS-A and B156SS-A standard oven functions
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 only.
LOWER ELEMENT ONLY: This method of cooking uses the
lower element to direct heat upward to the food. This function
is suitable for slow-cooking recipes or for warming up meals.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN & FAN: This method of cooking
provides traditional cooking with heat from the top and bottom
element. It also switches on the circulation fan which helps to
ensure fast, even distribution of the heat. This function is
suitable for light and delicate baking such as pastries. You can
cook on different shelf levels, as long as the food being cooked
requires the same cooking temperature.
11
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 sterilizing and
preserving jars.

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.
B156SS-A additional oven functions
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 shelves,
preventing the transmission of smells and tastes from one dish
onto another.
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 type of food. Always check food packaging for the
defrosting instructions.
Thermostat control knob
The oven thermostat control knob sets the required
temperature of the oven. It is possible to regulate
the temperature within a range of 50 - 250°C.
Turn the control knob clockwise.
Oven operating indicator neon
This neon will come on to indicate that the oven’s heating elements
are in operation. The neon will turn 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.

13
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.
oYou should pre-heat the oven and not place food inside of it until
the oven operating indicator neon 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
at least ten minutes.
oIMPORTANT: You should pre-heat the oven if you are baking,
regardless of whether you are using the conventional oven or fan
oven functions.
oIf there is no guidance given on the food packaging specifically
for cooking in fan oven mode, you can generally reduce the
cooking time and temperature by 10% from the information
given for conventional oven 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”.
oBefore cooking, check that any accessories that are not required
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 oven door closed when using a grill function.
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 also never line the base of your oven with aluminium
foil.
oDuring cooking, never place pans or cookware directly onto the
bottom of your 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.
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 minute minder indicator neon will light, to show that the
minute minder is in use.
oThe time period that has been set will expire when the control
knob reaches zero, a brief audible signal will sound.
14

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 make sure that the cooking temperature that is
selected is appropriate for the food that you are cooking. You
should also ensure that the food is placed in an adequately sized
dish and 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.
15

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, the drip tray and the side rack that is
on the same side as the oven light.
oRemove the light cover by turning it anti-clockwise.
oUnscrew the bulb clockwise 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.
oPlace the lamp cover back into position.

Removing the oven door for cleaning
To facilitate the cleaning of the inside of the oven and the outer frame
of the oven, the door can be removed as follows:-
oThe hinges (A) have two movable bolts on them (B).
oIf you raise both of the movable bolts (B), then the hinges (A)
are released from the oven housing.
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.
oTo refit the door you should slide the hinges back into their slots
and open the door fully.
oIMPORTANT: The movable bolts (B) must be closed back into
their original positions before closing the door.
oTake care not to dislodge the hinge
locking system when removing the door,
as the hinge mechanism has a strong
spring.
oDo not immerse the door in water at any
time.
