Anti-tip safety shelf
Food can either be placed on the shelf in a
dish or cake tin for cooking or browning, or
may be placed directly on the shelf itself.
Multi-purpose baking tray
This tray has a raised edge and can be used
for baking pastries (choux buns, meringues,
small cakes, flaky pasties, etc).
Joints should not be cooked in this tray
uncovered because fat could spit all over the oven sides.
Grill Tray
With special grid for grilling
The tray can be used for collecting juices
when cooking with the grill element by itself
or with the oven set to pulsed grill (grill and
fan). It is particularly useful as a large roas-
ting tray for meat and vegetables.
Never cook with the grill tray sitting on the bottom of the oven.

Safety recommendations
Please read these instructions before installing and using your oven.
The oven has been designed for domestic use only for cooking food. No asbestos
has been used in its construction.
USING FOR THE FIRST TIME:
Before you use your oven for the first time, leave it empty and, with the door
closed, turn it on to maximum temperature and let it heat up for 15 minutes. This
"runs the oven in". During this time there may be some smell from the mineral
wool that insulates the oven and there could be some smoke. This is perfectly
normal.
NORMAL USE:
- Always close the door properly. The oven is fitted with a seal designed to
work with a closed door.
- Never lean or let anyone sit on the oven door when it is open.
- The oven parts and accessories can become hot when the door is
left partially open and the grill on. Always keep children at a safe distance.
- When the oven is on it will get hot. Take care not to touch the heating
elements inside the oven.
- Always protect your hands with oven gloves or something similar when
removing food, accessories or containers from the oven.
- Do not line your oven with kitchen foil. The metal will increase the heat pro-
duced and could ruin the food and damage the enamel.
- Never use a spray or a high-pressure washer to clean the oven.
- During self-cleaning, surfaces can become hotter than in normal use.
Children must be kept at a distance.
During the action of pyrolysis, accessible surfaces become much hotter than
during normal cooking. Keep children at a distance.

We cannot accept any liability in the event of an accident
resulting from non-existent or faulty earthing.
• The supply cable (H05 RR-F, H05 RN-F or H05 W-F) must be long enough to allow
the oven to rest on the floor in front of its housing.
With the oven sitting on the floor and disconnected:
• Open the trapdoor at the bottom right hand side at the back of the oven by
removing the 2 screws and swinging the door away.
• Remove the sheath from each wire in the new cable up to 12 mm.
• Twist the ends carefully together.
• Unscrew the terminal screws and remove the wires that need changing.
• Pass the new cable through the wire clamp to the right of the terminals.
• Connect the wires up in accordance with the markings on the terminals.
• Make sure all wires are trapped under the screws.
• The brown wire (live) going to terminal marked L.
• The green and yellow wire (earth) going to the one marked .
• The blue wire (neutral) going to the terminal marked N.
• Tighten the screws and check, by tugging on each wire, that they are firmly connected.
• Tighten the clamp to hold the cable.
• Close the trapdoor using the two screws.
The electrical connections are made before the oven is installed in its housing.
• The oven must be connected using an approved 3-core cable (live, neutral and
earth ) with 1.5 mm square conductors. This should be connected via a 3- pin-
socket (live, neutral, and earth to the main supply which should be should be a
220-240V, alternating single-phase current. If the oven is not connected using a
plug and socket, it must be connected to a multi-pole switch with a minimum gap
of 3 mm between contacts. The earth wire (green and yellow) should be connected
to the terminal marked with the earth symbol on the appliance and to the earth
in the switch.
• Where the oven is connected using a separate plug and socket this must be
accessible after the oven has been installed.
• The neutral wire (blue) of the oven must be connected to the neutral in the main supply.

ll your oven
If you are unsure about fitting this oven yourself please use a
qualified electrician.
Dimensions for installation use
The oven may be housed either under a work surface or built into a
column that is open* or closed with a suitable opening.
Your oven works at its best and produces excellent results when cooking and clea-
ning itself, if its air circulation is not compromised:
• The oven must be centred in the unit so that there is a minimum distance of 5
mm between it and the surrounding unit.
• The housing unit or its outer surface must be capable of withstanding heat.
• To ensure the oven rests firmly in the housing, screw it to the housing unit using
the holes on the side uprights provided (see diagram).
To do this:
1) Remove the rubber stoppers masking the fixing holes.
2) To prevent the housing unit splintering, drill two holes 3 mm in diameter in the wall of the
housing unit opposite the fixing holes.
3) Attach the oven using the two screws.
4) Conceal the hole using the rubber stoppers. (These also help to cushion the
closing of the oven door).
(*) If the housing unit is open at the back, the gap must not be more
than 70 mm.
