Before first use
First use
Before using the oven for the first time we recommend that, with
the power supply o, you clean the oven with soapy water. Once
done, rinse carefully, remove all accessories from the appliance and
then heat on the below programme at maximum temperature for the
specified time. A slightly unpleasant smell may be produced, caused
by grease remaining on the oven element from the production
process.
30 minutes full grill with rear element and fan
Please note:
This oven has been fitted with a cooling fan to achieve maximum
eciency and to maintain low surface temperatures. The cooling fan
will switch on automatically when the oven switches on. It is normal
for the cooling fan to run for an hour or more after use, depending on
the duration, temperature and type of cooking programme used.
•The oven light remains on for every cooking function.
•Do not switch o the oven if you have set a programme for
semi-automatic or automatic cooking as this will cancel the
programme.
•We recommend preheating the grill for 5 minutes before each use.

Please note: The cooking time can be set between 0 and 10 hours.
The end of cooking time can be set to 10 hours ahead of the current
time. If an end of cooking time is set, then this will take priority, for
example over the current time, on the time display.
We recommend that you supervise the first few cooks to ensure
that the length of the functions and their temperatures suit your
requirements. Like this, you can make any necessary adjustments for
future functions.
Care and maintenance
It is important, before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance,
that you disconnect or switch o the appliance at the power
supply. If the oven has been in use, let the cavity and any
elements cool down suciently before attempting any cleaning or
maintenance.
Removing the appliance door
In order to allow for easier access into the oven cavity for cleaning, it
is possible to remove the door. Before removing the door, ensure that
you have an area prepared in which you can place the removed door.
This area should ideally be protected by something like a folded, dirt-
free, towel to help prevent damage to surfaces and the door.
•Open the door fully
•Lift and tilt the safety catch part of the hinge (fig.5) so that it is fully
extended and points towards the door.
•Close the door most of the way, lift it slightly and then pull it, safely

17
but firmly, towards you.
Replacing the appliance door
•Hold the door to the appliance in
the closed position and manoeuvre
the hinges so that the part of the
hinge, highlighted by the star in fig.
6, inserts into the hinge slot in the
cavity frame.
•Next, ensure the notch on the
underside of the hinge sits on the
lip of the hinge slot. Open the door
fully. Each hinge should be seated
in the same way as the hinge in
fig. 7. If it is not, follow the steps for
removing the door and try replacing
it again.
•Finally, lift the safety catch part
of the hinges back into place so
that they are lying flat against the
hinges.
Please note: If the hinge safety catches
are not in the correct place then the
door and/or appliance may receive
damage when attempting to close the
door.

Interior lighting
If the bulb in your appliance should fail, please contact CDA Customer
Care to arrange a service visit. The bulb and appliance must not be
serviced by anyone except a CDA authorised service agent.
Cleaning
IMPORTANT
•Before any maintenance is started involving electrical parts,
the appliance must be disconnected from the power supply.
•If the oven has been in use, let the oven cavity and the heating
elements cool down before attempting any maintenance.
•Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
•Once care and maintenance is complete, ensure that all parts
are correctly replaced before using the oven.
•Do not store flammable material in the oven.
•Do not allow grease or food particles to build up around the
door.
The oven exterior
As the oven has a stainless steel or enamel surface, you should use a
nonabrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch
the surface and could erase the control panel markings.
Inside of Oven
It is recommended that the interior of the oven be cleaned after
every use using suitable products, especially if any spillage has
occurred. The shelves can be removed and washed by hand or in the
dishwasher.

19
Stainless steel
Stainless steel can be eectively cleaned by simply using a dilute
solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a
clean cloth. Proprietary stainless steel cleaners are available. We
recommend a clean microfibre cloth for cleaning stainless steel
surfaces.
Grill
When used regularly, the grill element does not need cleaning as the
intense heat will burn o any splashes. The interior ceiling may need
regular cleaning, which should be done with warm water, detergent
and a sponge. If the grill is not used regularly, it should be run for 10
minutes every month to burn o any splashes, in order to reduce the
risk of fire.
IMPORTANT:
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety
requirements laid down for this type of product. However, special
care should be taken around the rear or the underneath of the
appliance as these areas are not designed or intended to be
touched and may contain sharp or rough edges that could cause
injury.

20
Installation
The appliance can be installed under a worktop or in a wall unit (open
or closed) with the appropriate dimensions for recessed installation.
Centre the oven in the unit, ensuring that there is as much of a gap
as possible, for ventilation purposes, between the appliance and the
surrounding unit. The material of the unit supporting the appliance
must be heat resistant (or covered with a heat resistant material). For
greater stability, attach the oven to the unit with four screws through
the holes provided on the side panels.
If the appliance is to be installed under a worktop, ensure the top rail
has been removed to provide free airflow around the product.
Do not use your appliance immediately after moving it from a
cold location, as condensation may cause a malfunction. Wait
approximately 1-2 hours before use.
Installation diagrams are on page 21.
