How to use your oven
This Fan Forced Oven is an extremely versatile appliance that
allows you to choose easily and safely between different cooking
modes. The various cooking modes are selected by means of a
cooking mode selection knob, located on the control panel.
To operate the oven:
·Ensure that manual mode is selected (page 12)
·Turn the cooking mode selection knob to the desired cooking
mode (explanation of cooking modes is on pages 10 to 11)
·Turn the cooking temperature selection knob to the desired
temperature (cooking guide is on page 19) or to ‘MAX’ if Grilling.
The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set
the thermostat to the highest setting, set the cooking mode
selection knob to a cooking mode and leave the oven on for about
half an hour with nothing in it and the oven door closed. Then, open
the oven door and allow the oven to cool. Any odour that may be
detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of
substances used to protect the oven during storage.
Note: Place tray on the bottom shelf position of the oven to prevent
any spillages from dripping onto the bottom of the oven. Never
place anything (including foil and oven trays) on the bottom of
the oven when it is in operation because this could damage
the enamel. Only place your cookware (dishes, trays, aluminum
foil, etc.) on the oven shelves provided with the appliance.
If supplied, use the chrome
wire handle shown left
when removing the trays
from the oven.

Positioning the oven trays & shelves
The Grill Tray or Oven Shelf can be located in any of the five height
positions in the oven.
Refer to the ‘Cooking Guide Table’ for the recommended shelf
position. When fitting the trays or shelves, ensure they are fitted
between the two wires that are closest together as shown below.
Oven Shelves have a stop so that they are not fully withdrawn by
accident. To fully remove the Oven Shelves, lift the front of the shelf
slightly and withdraw fully from the oven. Note that the Grill Tray
does not have a stop position and can be fully withdrawn without
interruption, so be careful not to accidentally fully withdraw the tray.
To remove the Oven Shelf
Support, push down on the
wire below the top locking
pin, pull away from the oven

COOKING MODES
Grill mode
Select ‘Grill’ mode with cooking mode selection knob and turn
cooking temperature selection knob to ‘Max’. When set to Grill
mode, the top element operates. The extremely high and
direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the
surface of meats and roasts while locking the juices in to keep
them tender. Grill mode can also be used for dishes that require a
high temperature on the surface such as beef steaks, veal, rib
steak, filets, hamburgers, etc.
Grill food with the oven door closed.
Fan assisted grill mode
Select ‘Fan Assisted Grill’ mode with cooking mode selection knob
and turn cooking temperature selection knob to the desired
temperature setting. When set to Fan Assisted Grill mode, the top
inner element and the fan operate. This mode increases the
circulation of air throughout the oven, which helps prevent food
from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right
into the food. Particularly suitable for kebabs made with meats and
vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken, quail, pork
chops, fish steaks, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
In Fan Assisted Grill mode, grill with the oven door closed.
Fan forced mode
When set to ‘Fan Forced’ mode, the fan element and the fan
operate providing a delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout
the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods on
multiple shelves, especially cakes that need to rise such as cream
puffs and for certain tartlets, sweet or savoury biscuits, savoury
puffs, swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables, etc.
10

Use and Care
Defrost mode
When set to ‘Defrost’ mode, the fan located at the back of the oven
circulates room temperature air around the food. This is
recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, for
example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes,
etc. By using ‘Defrost’ mode, the defrosting time is approximately
halved.

automatically.
PRACTICAL COOKING ADVICE
The oven offers a wide range of settings which allow you to cook
any type of food in the best possible way. With time you will learn to
make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the
following directions are only a guideline which may be varied
according to your own personal experience.
Preheating
If the oven needs to be preheated, the ‘Fan Forced’ mode
should be selected. These are the most efficient modes, which will
reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible using the
least amount of energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the desired cooking
mode should then be selected.
15

Use and Care
Multi shelf cooking
If you want to cook food on several shelves, select the ‘Fan Forced’
mode as this is the only cooking mode that allows you to do so.
When cooking delicate foods on more than one shelf, use the ‘Fan
Forced’ mode. This mode allows you to cook on 3 shelves at the
same time. Refer to the ‘Cooking Guide’ table.
Using the grill
This multi-function oven has 2 different grilling modes.
Use the ‘Grill’ mode with the oven door closed, place the food
on the centre of the grill pan, insert and fit the grill pan on either
the 3rd or 4th shelf from the bottom. Note: only the central part of
the top heating element operates for grilling.
When using ‘Grill’ mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to
the highest setting. However, this does not mean you cannot use
lower temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat knob to the
desired temperature.
Use ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode with the oven door closed. This
mode is very useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of
heat by the fan makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but
also to cook the bottom of the food. It can also be used for
browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding
that gratin finish to pasta bakes for example.
When using ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode, place the food on the 2nd or
3rd oven shelf from the bottom, then place a dripping-pan on the
1st rack from the bottom to prevent fat and grease from dripping
onto the oven floor. We recommend you set the thermostat to
200°C, as it is the most efficient temperature for ‘Fan assisted grill’
mode. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower
temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat knob to the desired
temperature.
Important: for best results and to save energy, always use the ‘Fan
assisted grill’ with the oven door closed.
16

Use and Care
Baking cakes
When baking cakes ,always place them in a preheated oven. Make
sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the
indicator light will turn off). To prevent heat loss and the cake from
dropping, do not open the oven door during baking.
In general...
... if pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time.
... if pastry has dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
... if pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature, and increase the
cooking time.
... if cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking
time.
... if the pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use
greaseproof paper.
... if I used multi shelf cooking and one shelf is more cooked
Use a lower temperature setting next time. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Use and Care

Cooking pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use the ‘Fan Forced’ mode
·Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes.
·Use a light aluminum pizza pan, placing it on the shelf supplied
with the oven. Don’t use the dripping pan since this will extend
the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust.
·Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking;
·If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we recommend
you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the
cooking process.
·For best results, only use one shelf at a time, but it you want to
cook on two shelves, use the 2nd and 4th racks from the bottom
with a temperature of 220°C and swap them halfway through
cooking.
Cooking fish and meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use a temperature setting
from 180°C to 200°C.
For red meat that you want well done on the outside while tender
and juicy in the inside, it is best to start with a high temperature
setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down
afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting.
Place the meat on the centre of the shelf and place the dripping
pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it is in the centre of the
oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below,
use a lower shelf height. For savoury roasts (especially duck and
wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.

Use and Care

Note: Cooking times are approximate and may vary according to

from the bottom.

Cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning your oven or performing maintenance, make sure
that the cooking mode selection knob is set to ‘OFF’ and the
cooking temperature selection knob is set to ‘OFF’. To extend the
life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently.
The enamelled or stainless steel parts should be washed with
lukewarm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive
substances. If any stainless steel has difficult to remove stains, use
cleaners specifically recommended to clean stainless steel. After
cleaning any surface, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry.
The inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately
after use, when it is still warm (but not hot), with warm water and
soap. The soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried
thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers acidic
cleaners such as lime scale remover, etc. as these could damage
the enamel. If stains are particularly tough to remove, use cleaners
specifically recommended to clean ovens and follow the
instructions provided with the cleaner. Never use a steam cleaner
or caustic oven cleaners for cleaning inside the oven.
If you operate your oven for an extended period of time, or if you
are cooking dishes that contain a lot of water, condensation may
form on the oven door. Dry it using a soft cloth and try reducing the
cooking temperature.
There is a seal surrounding the oven opening which is necessary
to ensure the correct operation of the oven. Check the condition of
this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it but avoid using
abrasive products or objects to do so. Should it become damaged,
please contact Technika Service Department. We recommend you
avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.
Never place anything (including foil and oven trays) on the
bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could
damage the enamel.
Clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and
dry it with a soft cloth.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface,
which may result in shattering of the glass.
Use only non caustic oven cleaners purchased from hardware
stores or supermarkets.
