Oven functions and operation
The ovens operations are controlled by the function selector knob on
the right side of the control panel and the temperature selector knob
on the left side.
Please note:
Only when the temperature has been selected will the oven begin to
heat up.
Switching on the oven is indicated by two signal lights, Land R.
When R is illuminated it signifies the oven is working. The Llight
indicates the temperature has been set; once this light goes out it
means the desired temperature setting has been reached. If a recipe
recommends placing dishes in a preheated oven, this should not be
done until the Llight goes out for the first time. When baking, the L
light will temporarily come on and go out indicating temperature is
being maintained inside the oven.

Oven functions and operation
Oven is o
Light
The oven light will be turned on.
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 100°C to 250°C. This setting is ideal for
baking cakes, meat, fish and 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 50°C and 250°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 roasting larger portions of
food.
Fanned full grill
This function radiates heat from the grill element and the
top element but also uses the fan to circulate the 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 foods where the appearance could be spoiled by
a normal grill function. It can be set between 50°C and 190°C
maximum.
Pyrolytic cleaning
The self-cleaning pyrolytic function heats the oven up to
approximately 480°C. Residue built up within the oven cavity is
burnt into an ash that can be wiped out with a damp cloth.
Important! Before starting pyrolitic cleaning please read
the pyrolytic cleaning section on pages 16 & 17

12 | Instruction Manual
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.
Rapid preheating
Use to preheat the oven.
Eco heating
This is an optimised heating function designed to save energy.
When using this function the oven light is intentionally left o.
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. It provides intense heat from the bottom, ideal for moist
cakes and pizza.
Fan oven
This function uses the circular heating element with a
temperature between 50°C and 250°C. The fan then
circulates the hot air which helps to achieve uniform
heat distribution.

Instruction Manual | 13
Using the grill
Important!
When using any grill function the oven door should be kept
closed. When the grill is in use accessible parts can become
hot, it is advisable to keep children away from the oven.
In order to switch on the grill you need to:
• Set the function selector knob to the desired grill setting
• Heat the oven for approximately 5 minutes with the oven door shut
• Insert a tray on to the appropriate cooking level; if you are grilling
food directly on the wire shelf, place a tray on the level immediately
below
• Close the oven door
When using the half grill or full grill functions the maximum
temperature that can be set is 250 °C. The maximum the fanned
grill can be set to is 190°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

18 | Instruction Manual
Keeping your oven clean and well maintained helps to prolong
it's 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

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.
