grilling small quantities.
ouble Grill - The full grill element will be on.
Thermal Grilling - This function offers an
alternative 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.

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.
F1. 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 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.
Using the ven
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 two shelves. 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.
 o not place cookware directly on
the oven base.

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.

10
Using the Fan ven
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 11 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.
