Selecting a cooking function and temperature
Selecting manual operation mode
After your appliance is connected to your mains supply for the
first time, the numbers on the timer display will flash. Before
you can select a cooking function or set a temperature, you
must set the appliance into “manual operation” mode.
oTo select manual operation mode, press the “manual operation”
button (9) on the control panel.
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 indicator light will come on.
There are seven cooking functions available on your appliance:
DEFROST: The fan runs without heat to reduce the defrost time
of frozen foods. The time required to defrost the food will d
on the room temperature, the quantity and type of food. Always
check food packaging for the defrosting instructions.
epend
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.
FAN OVEN: This method of cooking uses the circular element
whilst 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.
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.
16

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.
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 sterilizing and
preserving jars.
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 light
This light will come on to indicate
that the oven’s heating elements are
in operation. The light 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.

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 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 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 any of the grill 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 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 and other internal components of the
oven become extremely hot during operation, avoid touching
them inadvertently when handling the food which you are
grilling.
oImportant: Be careful when opening the door, to avoid contact
with hot parts of the oven 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.
oWarning: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young
children should be kept well away from the oven when it is in
use.
Accessories
Your oven will come supplied with the
following oven furniture:
o2 safety grill shelves (A)
oRemovable side racks, which
allow you to cook on four
different levels (B)
o1 drip tray (C)
o1 handle for the drip tray
The numbers 1 – 4, indicate the different shelf positions that you can
utilise within the oven.
19

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.
oDo not use harsh abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers to clean
the oven door glass as this can scratch the surface, which may
result in the oven glass shattering.
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.
