Oven Function Control Knob
Oven Light - The oven light will be on without any
cooking function.
Inner grill element only - can be used for grilling
small quantities.
Double Grill - The full grill element will be on.
Thermal Grilling - This function offers an alterna-
tive method of cooking food items, normally
associated with conventional grilling. The grill
element and the oven fan operate together,
circulating hot air around the food.
Fan Oven cooking - This allows you to roast or
roast and bake simoultaneously using any shelf,
without flavour transference.
Defrost Setting - This setting is intended to assist
in thawing of frozen food.
Thermostat Control Knob
Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to select
temperatures between 50 C and 250 C (MAX).
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
Force Centre. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
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.

Condensation and steam
When foo is heate it pro uces steam in the same way
as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this
steam to escape. However, always stan back from
the oven when opening the oven oor to allow any
buil up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outsi e of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will con ense an
pro uce water roplets. This is quite normal an is not a
fault with the oven.
To prevent iscoloration, regularly wipe away
con ensation an also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
 Use any oven proof cookware which will withstan
temperatures of 250°C.
 Baking trays, oven ishes, etc. shoul not be place
irectly against the gri covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or place on the oven base.
Hints and Tips
Before the First Use
Remove all packaging, both insi e an outsi e
the oven, before using the appliance.

1. Set the 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 win ow for ventilation.
5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately
45 minutes.

 Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat an may affect performance.

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 temperature inside the oven.
The advantages of cooking with this function are:
l Faster 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- 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.
l Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures
than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking
chart or remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-
25°C for your own recipes which use conventional cooking.
l Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf 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 tempera-
ture.
THING 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.

Shelf positions are not critical, but make sure the shelves
are evenly sprea .
When cooking more than one ish in the fan oven, place
ishes centrally on the shelves rather than several ishes
on one shelf.
When the oven is full, you may nee to allow slightly
longer cooking time.
A shelf may be place on the floor of the oven. Place
ishes on a shelf in this position rather than on the oven
base, to allow air circulation aroun the foo .
When the oven is full of the same foo , e.g. equal trays
of small cakes or equal size victoria san wich cakes,
then they will be cooke in the same time an remove
from the oven together. When ifferent sizes of trays or
types of foo , e.g. biscuits an cakes are cooke , they
will not necessarily be rea y together.
The fan oven can be use to heat foo s through without
thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies, sausage rolls,
an other small pastry items. Use a temperature of 190-
200°C an allow 20-40 minutes ( epen ing on the quantity
of foo in the oven).
The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommen ations for oven
temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be prepare
to a just the temperature by 10°C if necessary. Remember
to re uce temperatures by about 20-25°C for your own
conventional recipes.
When roasting o use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat an
meat juices will rain into the meat tin below an can be
use to make gravy. The trivet also prevents splashes of
fat from soiling the oven interior.
The meat tin shoul not be place on a heate hotplate
as this may cause the enamel to crack.
