2Safety and warnings
Your built-in oven has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal cooking
procedures. Please keep the following guidelines in mind when you are using your oven:
WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot when this oven is in use.
To avoid burns and scalds, keep children away.
Do not touch hot surfaces inside the oven.
Use oven mitts or other protection when handling hot surfaces such as oven
shelves or dishes.
Take care when opening the oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect the oven from the power supply before any cleaning or
maintenance.
Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.
Important safety instructions
Isolating switch: make sure this oven is connected to a circuit which incorporates an isolating
switch providing full disconnection from the power supply.
Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.
Children, or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a
responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can use
the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings.
Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after
cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take
particular care during warmer weather.
Do not place aluminium foil, dishes, trays, water or ice on the oven floor during cooking as this
will irreversibly damage the enamel.
Do not stand on the door, or place heavy objects on it.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since
they scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.
Caution. Hot air can blow from under and above the oven door as part of the oven’s cooling
system.
Do not keep flammable substances in the oven.
Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Under unfavourable electrical supply conditions, the appliance may cause temporary voltage
drops.

Oven functions
OVEN LAMP
Only the oven light comes on. It remains on in all the cooking functions.
BAKE
This is the traditional method of baking. It is best to bake on only one shelf at a time in this
function. Ideal for large cakes and dishes that bake for several hours.
FAN BAKE
Ideal for dishes like lasagne that need to brown on top and also single trays of small cakes or
biscuits that bake in less than an hour.
FAN GRILL
Use with the oven door closed and the temperature set no higher than 225°C. Ideal for roasting
tender cuts of meat and poultry. Use the lower shelf positions for larger items eg a whole
chicken.
GRILL
Use with the oven door closed and the temperature set no higher than 225°C. For best results,
use the shelf position 4 when you want quick browning (eg toast).
Important!
Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after cooking or
defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take particular
care during warmer weather.
Notes on baking:
Preheat the oven before baking.
Do not place anything, including water, ice or aluminium foil on the oven floor.

8Baking charts
Please note:
The settings in the following chart are guidelines only. Follow the instructions in your recipe or
on food packaging and be prepared to adjust the oven settings and baking times to achieve the
best possible results for you.
Shelf positions are counted from the base up (1 is the lowest, 4 the highest).
Position the shelf before you turn the oven on, then preheat the oven to the required
temperature. Place items in the oven only when temperature indicator light has gone out.
Due to the width of the oven, a single shelf can usually accommodate double the standard
recipe.
