Oven functions
OVEN LIGHT: Separate light control which allows the light to
be switched on, even when the oven is not in use.
DEFROST MODE: The fan runs without heat to reduce the
defrosting time of frozen foods. The time required to defrost
the food will depend on the room temperature, the quantity
and type of food. Always check food packaging for the
defrosting instructions.
LOWER ELEMENT ONLY: This method of cooking uses the
lower element to direct heat upward to the food. This function
is suitable for slow-cooking recipes or for warming up meals.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN: This method of cooking provides
traditional cooking, with heat from the top and lower
elements. This function is suitable for roasting and baking on
one shelf only.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN AND FAN: This method of cooking
provides traditional cooking with heat from the top and the
lower element, it also utilises the circulation fan. This ensures
a fast and even distribution of the heat. Suitable for light and
delicate baking, such as pastries.
FAN AND GRILL: This method of cooking utilises the top
element in conjunction with the fan, which helps to provide a
quick circulation of heat. This function is suitable where quick
browning is required and “sealing” the juices in, such as
steaks, hamburgers, some vegetables etc.
FULL GRILL: This method of cooking utilises the inner and
outer parts of the top element, which directs heat downwards
onto the food. This function is suitable for grilling medium or
large portions of sausages, bacon, steaks, fish, etc.
HALF GRILL: This method of cooking utilises the inner
sections of the top element, which directs heat downwards
onto the food. This function is suitable for grilling portions of
bacon, toast and meat etc.

Cooking guidelines

the performance of your appliance, temperatures and times can be
varied to suit personal preference.
oIf you are using the fan oven function, then you should follow the
information given on the food packaging for this particular mode of
cooking.
oYou should pre-heat the oven and not place food inside of it until
the oven operating light has gone off. You can choose not to pre-
heat when using the fan oven mode; however you should extend
the cooking time given on the food packaging by at least ten
minutes.
oIMPORTANT: You should pre-heat the oven if you are baking,
regardless of whether you are using the conventional oven or fan
oven functions.

18
oIf there is no guidance given on the food packaging specifically for
cooking in fan oven mode, you can generally reduce the cooking
time and temperature by 10% from the information given for
conventional oven cooking.
oMake sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking,
unless the instructions on the food packaging advise that you can
“cook from frozen”.
oBefore cooking, check that any accessories that are not required are
removed from the oven.
oPlace cooking trays in the centre of the oven and leave gaps
between the trays to allow air to circulate.
oTry to open the door as little as possible to view the dishes.
oThe oven light will remain on during cooking.
Warnings
oKeep the oven door closed when using any of the cooking
functions, including the grill functions.
oDo not use aluminium foil to cover the grill pan or heat items
wrapped in aluminium foil under the grill. The high reflectivity of the
foil could potentially damage the grill element.
oYou should also never line the base of your oven with aluminium
foil.
oDuring cooking, never place pans or cookware directly onto the
bottom of your oven. They should always be placed on the shelves
provided.
oThe grill heating element and other internal components of the oven
become extremely hot during operation, avoid touching them
inadvertently when handling the food which you are grilling.
oImportant: Be careful when opening the door, to avoid contact
with hot parts of the oven and steam.
oWhen removing the drip tray, you should ALWAYS use an oven
glove.
oWarning: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young
children should be kept well away from the oven when it is in use.

Shelf positions
Your oven will come supplied with
the following oven furniture:
(A) Oven shelf
(B) Enamelled baking tray
oThe numbers 1 – 4, indicate the
different shelf positions that you
can utilise within the oven.
(Image for reference only – actual product may differ slightly)
oYou should use the shelf position(s) that you find are best suited to
your personal cooking preferences.
oInsert the oven shelf and baking tray between the 2 side rails at
any position (1 to 4) on both sides. The oven shelf has safety stops
to prevent accidental withdraw. After engaging the oven shelf into
the side rails, as you push the oven shelf into the oven, lift the front
of the shelf slightly to bypass the stops and allow the oven shelf to
slide fully into the rails.
oTo remove the oven shelf, gently pull the oven shelf outwards.
When the shelf stops, lift the front slightly to bypass the safety
stops and then completely withdraw the oven shelf from the oven.
oWhen installed correctly, the shelf and tray should be horizontal and
not on an angle.
19

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the
oven is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your mains
supply before commencing any cleaning process.
oThe oven should be thoroughly cleaned before it is operated for the
first time and after each use. This will avoid residual food stuffs
becoming baked on the oven cavity. After residues have been
baked on several times, they are far more difficult to remove.
oNever clean the oven surfaces by steam cleaning.
oThe oven cavity should only be cleaned with warm soapy water,
using either a sponge or soft cloth. No abrasive cleaners should be
used.
oAny stains that may appear on the bottom of the oven will have
originated from food splashes or spilt food, these splashes occur
during the cooking process. These could possibly be a result of the
food being cooked at an excessively high temperature or being
placed in cookware that is too small.
oYou should make sure that the cooking temperature that is selected
is appropriate for the food that you are cooking. You should also
ensure that the food is placed in an adequately sized dish and use
the enamelled baking tray where appropriate.
oOuter parts of the oven should only be cleaned with warm soapy
water, using either a sponge or soft cloth. No abrasive cleaners
should be used.
oWe would recommend that an appropriate stainless steel cleaner
and polish is regularly used on the stainless steel surfaces of this
appliance.
oIf you use any form of oven cleaner on your appliance, then you
must check with the manufacturer of the cleaner that it is suitable
for use on your appliance.
oDo not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to
clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface which
may result in shattering.
oAny damage that is caused to the appliance by a cleaning
product will not be fixed by the manufacturer free of charge,
even if the appliance is within the guarantee period.
