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.

Safety and warnings
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 the control panel 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.

8First use
Important!
Some models only have some of the features and accessories listed above. For information on accessories,
contact Customer Care.
Before using your new oven for cooking or baking, please:
1 Read this user guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety and warnings’ section.
2 Remove all accessories and packaging. Make sure you peel any protetctive film off the surfaces.
Discard the film immediately, keeping it out of reach of children.
3 If your model has side catalytic panels and sliding shelf supports, check that these are fitted. If
they aren’t, see ‘Care and cleaning’ for instructions.
4Depending on your model, set manual mode (models with analogue timer) or set the clock
(models with electronic clock). The oven will not work until this has been done.
For models with analogue timer, see ‘Oven controls and setting manual mode’ for
instructions.
For models with electronic clock, see ‘Oven controls and setting the clock’ for
instructions.

10 Oven functions
Depending on your model, your may only have some of these 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.
GRILL
Use with the oven door closed and the temperature set no higher than 225°C. For best results,
use the topmost shelf position when you want quick browning (eg toast).
DEFROST
Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the temperature set to off (0). The fan circulates air around
the oven, speeding up the defrosting process by approximately 30%. Note: this function is not
for cooking food.
FAN FORCED
Great for multi-shelf cooking. The consistent temperature ensures baking is well risen. Cookies
are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle, meat and poultry are deliciously browned and
sizzling while remaining juicy and tender.
FAN GRILL
Use with the oven door closed and the temperature set no higher than 220°C. Ideal for roasting
tender cuts of meat and poultry. Use the lower shelf positions for larger items eg a whole
chicken.
OR WARM
Use this function to keep cooked food hot and to warm plates and serving dishes. To reheat food
from cold, set the temperature to 150°C and reduce it to 70-100°C only when the food is piping
hot. Note: this function is not for cooking food and the temperature cannot be set higher than
150°C.
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.

11
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.
Remove the fat filter before baking (some models only).
Using the fat filter (some models only)
Use the fat filter only when roasting meat and poultry on Fan Bake, Fan Grill or
Fan Forced. It helps to keep your oven clean and reduces splatter and smoking.
Clean the fat filter after every use. See ‘Care and cleaning’.
Remove the fat filter before baking: gripping the top flap, slide up to unhook it from the rear
panel.
To replace the fat filter: align with the circle in the rear panel, then slide down to hook into place.
Important!
If the fat filter is not cleaned after every use, the grease build-up will block and shorten the life of the fan
element.

12 Baking charts
Please note:
The settings in the following charts are guidelines only. Follow the instructions in your recipe or
on 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 oven floor up (1 is the lowest, 4 or 6 the highest).
Arrange oven shelves before you turn the oven on, then preheat the oven to the required
temperature (until the temperature indicator light goes out).
Full ovens are ideal for multi-shelf baking or larger items.
Compact ovens are the ideal and most energy-efficient choice for baking small or flat items (eg
cookies, pizza) on a single shelf; however, they have not been designed for multi-shelf baking.
Settings in bold indicate the recommended oven function.
Baking chart - full ovens
The shelf positions recommended below use the flat oven shelf (not the step-down shelf)
used either with or without sliding shelf supports. Note: the step-down shelf and sliding shelf
supports are not supplied with all models.
