Instruction Manual | 5
First use of the oven
In order to remove oil residues accumulated during the manufacturing
process and dust accumulated during storage and transport, we
recommend a preliminary cleaning before first use. This is to protect
your health and provide optimum quality in cooking.
IMPORTANT!
Remove the protective foil from the telescopic runners before using
the oven.
Preliminary heating
1. Remove any packaging elements from the oven cavity
2. Turn on ventilation or extractor fan in the room or open a window
3. Set the oven to 250°C using the rapid preheating function
4. Allow to heat for approximately 30 minutes
5. Turn oven o and allow to cool
6. To clean the oven use a well wrung-out cloth with warm water and
a small amount of washing up liquid
7. Dry with a clean cloth
A slightly unpleasant smell may be emitted during this process due to
the vaporising of oil residue used to protect the oven during storage.
Standby mode
Switching the appliance to standby mode resets all functions settings,
times, temperature and automatic programmes. All heating elements
are deactivated and the display is dimmed except for the timer.
To enter standby mode, press the sensor for 3 seconds at any time
(this is applicable even if the oven is locked). A beep will be heard
indicating the mode is active. To exit standby mode simply press the
sensor for 3 seconds, a dierent beep will be heard to indicate the
oven is now ready for operation.

6| Instruction Manual
Control panel
The control panel is equipped with an LED display and backlit touch
sensors.
Fan cooking with lower heat
With this setting the convection fan and bottom heater are on,
which increases the temperature at the bottom of the cooked
dish. Intense heat from the bottom is ideal for moist cakes and
pizza.
Fan assisted oven
This setting is most suitable for baking cakes.
Conventional oven
The thermostat enables the user to set the temperature within
a range of 30°C to 280°C. This setting is ideal for baking cakes,
meat, fish, bread. For best results preheat the oven and use a
baking tray on one level.
Half grill
This function radiates heat from the grill element. This fully
temperature variable grill can be set between 30°C and 280°C
maximum.
Full grill
In this setting both the grill and top element are engaged. This
increases the temperature in the top part of the oven chamber
making it suitable for browning and grilling larger portions of
food. It can be set between 30°C and 280°C maximum.

Instruction Manual | 7
Warming oven
This function radiates heat from the bottom element, baking
cakes from underneath until done.
Defrost
This function uses the fan to circulate air at ambient temperature
within the oven which helps to accelerate the defrosting
process.
Fanned full grill
This function radiates heat from the grill element and the top
element but also uses the fan to circulate hot air. The hot air is
distributed over and under the food that you are grilling. This
fully temperature variable grill is ideal for grilling fish or other
items where the appearance could be spoiled by a normal grill
function. It can be set between 30°C and 280°C maximum.
Fan oven
This function uses the circular heating element with a
temperature between 30°C and 280°C. The fan then circulates
the hot air which helps to achieve uniform heat distribution.

Using the grill
Important!
When using any grill functions the oven door should be kept
closed. When the grill is in use accessible parts can become hot
and it is advisable to keep children away from the oven. When
using the half grill, full grill or fanned grill functions the maximum
temperature that can be set is 280 °C.
ECO heating
ECO heating is an optimised heating function designed to save
energy when preparing food. You cannot reduce the cooking
time by setting a higher temperature; preheating the oven is not
recommended. Do not change the temperature setting and do not
open the oven door during cooking. The levels listed in the table
below can be found around the edge of the oven cavity when the
door is open

Oven preheat
When the symbol is illuminated, it indicates the oven is heating
up towards the temperature set. The symbol will go out once
the temperature is reached. To show the set temperature is being
maintained The symbol will illuinate and go out periodically.
Temperature
At any time during a heating function, it is possible to find out what
temperature the oven is currently operating at. Simply touch the
sensor to see what the temperature inside the cavity is. Touch the
sensor a second time and the display will show the temperature which
has been set. Touch the sensor a third time and the display will revert
back to the current time.
Cooling fan and residual heat
If the oven has no active functions but the temperature inside is
still above 80°C, the cooling fan will activate automatically until the

18 | Instruction Manual
Keeping your oven clean and well maintained helps to prolong
its fault-free lifespan. It is important that, before any cleaning or
maintenance is performed, you switch o the oven at the mains
supply. Do not start any cleaning or maintenance until the oven has
been allowed to cool completely.
We recommend always wearing PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment) when carrying out any cleaning or maintenance.
Cleaning the oven exterior
Stainless steel, aluminium and glass surfaces can all be cleaned using
a dilute solution of water and mild detergent. They must be cleaned
very carefully using a soft or microfibre cloth to avoid scratching and
abrasions. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface
and could erase the control panel markings. Always dry thoroughly
with a soft dry cloth.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the oven interior
The oven should always be cleaned after use when it has been
allowed to cool down. The cavity should be cleaned using a mild
detergent solution and warm water and then wiped dry with a suitable
clean cloth.

Instruction Manual | 19
Cleaning and maintenance
IMPORTANT:
• 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
Abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads/cloths should not be used
on the cavity surface.
Removing the appliance door
In order to allow 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. 1) 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 but firmly, towards you
Fig. 1

20 | Instruction Manual
Cleaning and maintenance
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.
2, 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. 3. 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.
