The Safety Thermostat
This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In
case of malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and
consequent over-heating, the safety device will stop
the power supply to the appliance. If this happens,
call your local Service Centre. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to repair the
appliance yourself.

Before the First Use
Remove all ackaging, both inside and
outside the oven, before using the
appliance.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food. uring this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is quite normal.
1. (EOB 847) Set the end of cooking
programmer to manual function.
2. Switch the oven function control knob
to fan cooking .
3. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
4. Open a window for ventilation.
5. Allow the oven to run empty for
approximately 45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
ANTI-TIP SHELF
metal tabs
The anti-tip shelf has four small metal tabs on its
frame to prevent it from sliding out from the shelf
supports.

Cookware
 Use any oven proof cookware which will
withstand temperatures of 250°C.
 Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be
placed directly against the grid covering the fan
at the back of the oven, or placed on the oven
base.
 o not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35
cm (12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the
circulation of heat and may affect performan-
ce.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
ishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat
to the food inside them.
AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and
bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and base
browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,
aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase
cooking and base browning.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some
of this steam to escape. However, always stand
back from the oven when o ening the oven
door to allow any build up of steam or heat to
release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Hints and Tips
Cooling fan
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is
expelled through vents between the oven door and
the control panel, as shown in the diagram.
The cooling fan may run on after the oven is
switched off to keep the controls cool. This is quite
normal.

Using the Fan Oven
The air inside the oven is heated by the element
around the fan situated behind the back panel. The
fan circulates hot air to maintain an even tempera-
ture inside the oven.
The advantages of cooking with this function
are:
lFaster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is
not usually necessary to preheat the oven although
you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7
minutes on cooking times. For recipes which require
higher temperatures, best results are achieved if
the oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries,
scones, souffles, etc.
lLower Tem eratures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart
at page 9 or remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
lEven Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner
positions. This means that batches of the same
food can be cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the top shelf may brown slightly quicker
that the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.
FHow to Use the Fan Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required
temperature.
THINGS TO NOTE
 The oven light will come on when the oven
function control knob is set.
 The oven fan will operate continually during
cooking.
 The thermostat control light will remain on until
the correct temperature is reached. It will then
cycle on and off to show the temperature is
being maintained.
FO 2079
Runner positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spread.
When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.
When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer cooking time.
A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven. Place
dishes on a shelf in this position rather than on the
oven base, to allow air circulation around the food.
When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal
trays of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich
cakes, then they will be cooked in the same time
and removed from the oven together. When different
sizes of trays or types of food, e.g. biscuits and
cakes are cooked, they will not necessarily be
ready together.
The fan oven can be used to heat foods through
without thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies,
sausage rolls, and other small pastry items. Use a
temperature of 190-200°C and allow 20-40 minutes
(depending on the quantity of food in the oven).
The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommendations for
oven temperatures given in the cooking charts, but
be prepared to adjust the temperature by 10°C if
necessary. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own conventional recipes.
When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat
and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below
and can be used to make gravy. The trivet also
prevents splashes of fat from soiling the oven
interior.
The meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.

The oven fan operates without heat and circulates
the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This
increases the speed of defrosting. However, please
note that the temperature of the kitchen will influence
the speed of defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate
food which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream
filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and
other yeast products.
FHow to Use Defrosting
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the OFF
position.
Defrosting
 Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic
film to prevent drying out during defrosting.
 ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY
IMME IATELY AFTER THAWING.
 Frozen food should be placed in a single layer
when ever possible and turned over half way
through the defrosting process.
 Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.)
are suitable for defrosting in this way.
Refer to the following table for approximate
defrosting times.
Chicken 1000 g. 100-140 20-30 Place the chicken on an inverted
saucer on a large plate. efrost open
