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.
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.

7
Filling the water tank
Before using the steam functions for the first time we recommend that
you remove and clean, thoroughly, the water tank in the appliance.
The water tank can be found on the right hand side of the appliance
when the door is open (circled below).
Fill the tank up to the maximum capacity line and carefully reinsert
the tank. The appliance will warn you when the system is out of water
by displaying the water shortage symbol (Fig. 3) but we advise you to
keep the water tank topped up when possible. Sometimes, when the
tank is empty, the water shortage symbol will not have been displayed.
This is not a fault and is due to the internal workings of the steam
system still containing some water.
If you are leaving the appliance and/or the steam functions to go
unused for some time (i.e. whilst on holiday) we recommend emptying
and drying the water tank so as to prevent stagnant water.

Automatic cooking
This function allows for a duration and an end time to be set for
cooking. With this, the oven will start cooking automatically due to
the set duration determining how long before the end time that the
function will activate and begin cooking. For example, if you set the
cooking duration to 1 hour, and the end time to 15:30, then the oven
will activate the function at 14:30. When the set time elapses, the oven
will switch the set function o and an acoustic signal will sound.

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.
Safety key lock

•If the light has been on recently,
allow it to cool before removing it.
•Wearing suitable hand protection,
such as gloves, remove the screws
around the protective glass cover
(fig. 5). Carefully remove the cover.
It is advisable to wash and dry the
cover and store it somewhere safe
where it won’t cause nor receive Fig. 5

17
damage.
•Carefully remove the old bulb and dispose of it safely. Insert the
new bulb, ensuring that your hands are still protected. This will
also preserve the lifespan of the replacement bulb. The new bulb
must be able to withstand high temperature (300°C) and match the
following specifications: 230-240V, 50Hz, 25W, G9 fitting.
•Refit the protective cover, taking care not to pinch or crimp the
cover gasket, and re-attach the four screws (fig. 5).
Important
Do not use any other tool, except for a screwdriver, to remove the
protective cover as this may damage the lamp assembly or the oven.
To avoid system damage check, regularly, that the water tank is full
when using steam functions. An acoustic signal will sound and the
water shortage symbol will be displayed to warm when the system
has detected a shortage.
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. 6) 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.
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.

lip of the hinge slot. Open the door
fully. Each hinge should be seated in the same way as the hinge
in fig. 8. 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.
