temperature has been reached. When the oven cools,
the thermostat determines the re-insertion of the heating
elements with consequent re-lighting of the indicator
lights. The internal oven light is always on when any
function is in operation.

- The panels of the adjoining furniture should be heat resistant. Particularly when
the adjoining furniture is made of veneered wood, the adhesives should be able
to withstand a temperature of 120˚C. Plastic materials or adhesive which cannot
withstand this temperature will become deformed or unstuck.
- To comply with safety regulations, once the appliance has been fitted it should
not be possible to make contact with the electrical parts.
- All parts which offer protection should be fixed in such a way that they cannot
be removed without the use of a tool.

Connection to the mains supply
WARNING:
This appliance must be earthed
- Check that the power rating of the mains supply and of the sockets are suitable
for the maximum power of the appliance as indicated on the rating plate.
- The plug should be accessible after installation. Fit the plug into a socket fitted
with a third contact which corresponds with the earth connection. This should be
properly connected.
If the appliance is fitted with supply leads but not connected to a plug, you must
permanently connect to fixed wiring as follow:
- The yellow/green earth wire, which must be connected to terminal, has to be
approximately 10mm longer than the other wires; the blue neutral wire has to be
connected to the terminal marked with letter N.
- Black, brown, red live wires have to be connected to terminal L. Mains
connection can also be made by fitting double pole switch with a minimum gap
between the contacts of 3mm, proportionate to the load and complying with the
regulations in force.
- The yellow/green earth wire should not be controlled by the switch.
- The plug or a double pole switch used for mains supply connection should be
easy to get at, once the appliance is in position.

This is the traditional cooking method, perfect for roasting joints, cooking pastry
and baking cakes.
BASE HEAT
This function is good for cooking the underside of food, warming up food or
sterilising glass jars. It is also ideal for slow cooking food, i.e. casseroles. This
function can be used between 50˚C and MAX.
TOP HEAT
This function can be used for warming pre-cooked food when placing the grid on
the second shelf from the top. Or for defrosting pastry, place on grid on the
bottom shelf.

CONVENTIONAL HEAT
Both the lower and upper heating elements operate together.
This is the traditional cooking method, perfect for roasting joints, cooking pastry
and baking cakes.
TURBO DEFROST
The air at ambient temperature is distributed inside the oven to speed up defrosting
time.
FAN HEAT
The fan evenly distributes the hot air (between 50˚C and MAX) inside the oven.
This is ideal for cooking several types of food i.e. meat and fish at the same time
without affecting taste and smell. It is also ideal for delicate pastries.
TURBO BASE HEAT
Both the fan and the lower heating element operate together.
The air which is heated by the lower heating element is circulated by the fan
helping to distribute the heat between 50 and 200˚C. This function can be used for
sterilising glass jars.
BASE HEAT
This function is good for cooking the underside of food, warming up food or
sterilising glass jars. It is also ideal for slow cooking food, i.e. casseroles. This

This function can be used for warming pre-cooked food when placing the grid on
the second shelf from the top. Or for defrosting pastry, place on grid on the
bottom shelf.

TURBO CONVENTIONAL HEAT
This function is very good for obtaining results in baking pastry. Cooking is
carried out by the lower and upper heating element within the oven and by the
fan providing air circulation, which will give a slight grill effect to the food. It is
recommended to pre-heat the oven about 10 minutes.

COOKING GUIDELINES
- Set the function for the type of cooking required.
- Preheat the oven, setting the thermostat to the required temperature. Once the
oven has heated to the selected temperature, the orange warning light will go
out.
- This same light will appear again automatically during operation of the oven to
indicate that the heating elements are on.
- Remove the drip tray when using the oven for conventional cooking, roasting
etc. The tray should be left in place only when using the grill, as its purpose is
to catch falling droplets of fat. Food should be placed in oven dishes with raised
edges and positioned centrally under the grill.
- If the fan heat operation is selected, different foods can be cooked
simultaneously (e.g. meat and fish), although in this case the respective cooking
time must be observed.

- Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. For large joints it is
advisable to thaw overnight.
- Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before cooking, the time required
depends on the size of the bird e.g. a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to
thaw.
- Adjust the shelf position so the meat or poultry will be in the centre of the oven.
- The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate because the size and
age of the bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the
proportion of bone.

Note:
- If you are cooking a very large turkey, we recommend that it is turned around
halfway through cooking, so that both legs will be cooked evenly.
- Remove any excess fat from the tin before turning, to prevent any fat splashing.
- When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total
weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
- For joints cooked in foil and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb)
to the calculated cooking time.
- Smaller joints weighing less than 1.25 kg (2lb) may require 5 minutes per 450g
(1lb) extra cooking time.
