foodstuffs; never use it for other
purposes.
•When opening the oven door during
or at the end of cooking be careful
of the stream of hot air, which
comes out of the oven.
•Be very careful when using the
cooker. The extreme heat of the
heating elements makes the
shelves and other parts very hot.
•If you should for whatever reason use
aluminium foil to cook food in the
oven, never allow it to come into
direct contact with the floor of the
oven.
•When cleaning the oven, proceed
with care: never spray anything onto
the grease filter (if fitted), the heating
elements and the thermostat sensor.
•If is dangerous to make
modifications of any kind to this
appliance or to its specifications.
•During the baking, roasting and
grilling process, the oven window
and the other parts of the appliance
get hot, so children should be kept
away from the appliance. Take care,
if connecting electrical appliances
to sockets near the oven, that
cables do not come into contact with
hot rings or get caught in the oven
door.
•Always use oven gloves to take hot
ovenproof dishes or pots out of the
oven.
•Regular cleaning prevents the
surface material from deteriorating.
•Before cleaning the oven, either turn
the power off or pull the mains plug
out.

Before using the oven for the first time
To open the oven door, always
hold the handle in the centre.
Remove all packaging, both
inside and outside the oven, before
using the oven.
Before using for the first time, the oven
should be heated up without food.
During this time, an unpleasant odour
may be emitted. This is absolutely
normal. It is caused by manufacturing
residues.
Ensure the room is well ventilated.

trol knob to conventional cook-
ing .
2. Set the thermostat control
knob to 250° C.

on when the thermostat control knob is
turned. The indicator will remain on until
the correct temperature is reached. It will
then cycle on and off to show the tempe-
rature is being maintained.
Safety Thermostat
To prevent dangerous overheating
(through incorrect use of the appliance or
defective components), the oven is fitted
with a safety thermostat, which interrupts
the power supply. The oven switches
back on again automatically, when the
temperature drops.
Should the safety thermostat trigger due
to incorrect use of the appliance, it is
enough to remedy the error after the oven
has cooled down; if on the other hand, the
thermostat triggers because of a defective
component, please contact Customer
Service.
The cooling fan
The oven is provided with a cooling fan,
meant to keep the front panel, the knobs
and the oven door handle cool.The fan
switches on automatically when the oven
is activated. Warm air is blown out
through the aperture near the oven door
handle. The fan switches off when, after
cooking, the oven function control knob
is set to OFF position

up liquid and use this to clean the
oven cavity.
Before using for the first time,
carefully wash the oven
accessories as well.

Using the oven
The oven is supplied with an exclusive
system which produces a natural
circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam.
This system makes it possible to cook in
a steamy environment and keep the
dishes soft inside and crusty outside.
Moreover, the cooking time and energy
consumption are reduced to a minimum.
During cooking steam may be produced
which can be released when opening the
oven door. This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back from
the oven when opening the oven
door during cooking or at the end
of it to allow any build up of steam
or heat to release.
Attention! - Do not place objects
on the oven base and do not cover
any part of the oven with aluminium
foil while cooking, as this could
cause a heat build-up which
would affect the baking results and
damage the oven enamel. Always
place pans, heat-resisting pans
and aluminium trays on the shelf
which has been inserted in the
shelf runners.When food is heated,
steam is created, like in a kettle.
When the steam comes into
contact with the glass in the oven
door, it condenses and creates
water droplets.
To reduce condensation, always
preheat the empty oven for 10
minutes.
We recommend you wipe the water
droplets away after every cooking
process.
Conventional Cooking
- The middle shelf position allows for
the best heat distribution. To increase
base browning simply lower the shelf
position. To increase top browning,
raise the shelf position.
- The material and finish of the baking
trays and dishes used will affect base
browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy
or non-stick utensils increase base
browning, while oven glassware,
shiny aluminium or polished steel trays

Always cook with the oven
door closed. Stand clear when
opening the drop down oven door.
Do not allow it to fall open -
support the door using the door
handle, until it is fully open.
The oven has four shelf levels, and
is supplied with one shelf. The
shelf positions are counted from
the bottom of the oven as shown
in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves
are correctly positioned as shown
in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on
the oven base.
