Before First Use
When the oven is connected to the electrical supply for the first time,
the display will ask you to select your language: Use the
buttons to select the language you want, use the “ok” button to
confirm your choice.
The oven will remember your language preference, even after future
power outages.
After setting the language, the oven will go into “demonstration” mode
(it will also go into this mode after any power failure).
In this mode, the oven keys light up in sequence but no heating
elements are powered. The control panel is inactive so the oven will
not respond to commands.
To exit the demonstration mode, touch the “Light” key for
approximately five seconds, the control panel will revert to normal
operation and be ready for use.
You can set the clock at this stage, but it is not necessary for turning
on the oven.
Before using the oven for the first time we recommend that you clean
it with soapy water, rinse carefully and then heat on the fan oven
setting at maximum temperature for 30 minutes. A slightly unpleasant
smell may be produced, caused by grease remaining on the oven
elements from the production process.

oven will beep.
5. Push the probe into the centre of the food, avoiding touching
bones or fatty areas.

and set the cooking temperature.
7. After 5 seconds the temperature display will switch to the probe
setting. Use the keys to adjust this as required.
8. After a further 5 seconds the oven
will start.
9. When the probe detects that the
food temperature has reached its
set temperature the oven will switch
o, beep and display the message
