USING THE OVENS
Set the selector for the type of cooking required.
Preheat the oven, setting the thermostat to the required temperature.
Once the oven has heated to the selected temperature, the orange
warning light will go out. This same light will appear again automatically
during operation of the oven to indicate that the heating elements are on.
Remove the drip tray when using the oven for conventional baking,
roasting etc. The tray should be left in place only when using the grill, as
its purpose is to catch falling droplets of fat. Food should be placed in
oven dishes with raised edges and positioned centrally under the grill. If
fan-forced operation is selected, foods of different types can be cooked
simultaneously (e.g. meat and fish), although in this case the respective
cooking time must be observed.
If selecting the position, temperatures must be set 10 to 20C
lower than indicated in the table.

ROASTING GUIDE
- Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. For large
joints it is advisable to thaw overnight.
- Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before cooking, the time
required depends on the size of the bird e.g. a large turkey may take up
to 48 hours to thaw.
- Adjust the shelf position so the meat or poultry will be in the centre of
the oven. The TIMES given in the ROASTING GUIDE are only
approximate because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking
times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of bone.

Notes:
If you are cooking a very large turkey e.g. over 141lb., we recommend
that it is turned around halfway through cooking, so that both legs will be
cooked evenly. Remove any excess fat from the tin before turning, to
prevent any fat splashing.
When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the
total weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add 5 minutes per 450g. (1lb. to the calculated cooking time.
Smaller joints weighing less than 1.25 k.g. (2 lb.) may require 5 minutes
per 450g. (1lb) extra cooking time.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
General instructions
CAUTION:
The oven door becomes hot during use. Be sure to keep children well away!
Do not use the oven as a room heater.
Always be very careful when connecting other electrical appliances to the
power supply if these are situated near the oven: the power cables must not
come into contact with hot parts of the oven.
To ensure the oven will always be safe, any servicing
—especially of electrical parts —should be entrusted exclusively to a skilled
professional.
Clean the oven every time after use: this will make it easier to remove dirt
and
grease and ensure that deposits do not build up.
Use earthenware oven dishes enamelled steel or pyrex - type glass for
roasting and baking, selecting a suitable size for the bulk and quantity of the
food being cooked. Stainless steel ovenware is not recommended, as the
metal reflects heat.
If the interior light should fail, disconnect the oven from the electrical power
before removing and replacing the lamp.
Using first time
Before using the oven for the first time, clean the interior thoroughly with
liquid detergent and lukewarm water. Wipe off, then heat the oven to
maximum temperature and leave on for 20 minutes. This will ensure that
residual oil and grease used in the manufacturing process do not give off
unpleasant smells when food is cooked in the oven. Once this has been
done, the oven is ready for use.
CAUTION: make certain the oven is disconnected from the electrical power
supply before carrying out any cleaning operation on the oven.
Final checks
Having installed the oven in its enclosure, and before switching on, be certain
to check that there are no live parts accessible, and that all the packing has
been removed. At this point the oven can be switched on as described in the
instructions.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED BY A PROFESSIONAL
ELECTRICIAN, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY ADJUSTMENT OR REPAIR
ON THE APPLIANCE, MAKE CERTAIN IT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE
ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
Statutory regulations, technical standards, directives
The appliance must be installed in conformity with current statutory
regulations and in accordance with applicable safety standards.
Installing the oven
The unit in which the oven is installed must be manufactured to a
modular dimension of 600mm.
Openings at least 50 mm deep must be cut both in the bottom and in the
top of the unit to ensure adequate ventilation (see figure1 for essential
dimensions). During assembly, particular care must be taken not to pick
up the oven by the door. As a general rule, the oven door should never
be forced or subjected to undue stresses.

Electrical connection
Make certain the nominal a.c. power supply voltage corresponds to that
indicated on the identification data plate. The appliance must be
connected to the supply by way of an isolating switch with minimum
contact separation of 3 mm. Suitable isolating components include
automatic breakers, fuses and relays.
The oven must be connected to an efficient earth system, as prescribed
by national and/or local statutory regulations.
The cable must be connected as prescribed by statutory regulations and
respond to the specifications indicated on the Technical Data page.
The terminal box is located at the rear of the appliance. If a new cable is
fitted, route it through the clamp and make the connections as shown in
the diagram. The earth wire must be cut longer than the other wires so
that it will be the last to break off in the event of the cable being tugged.
Having made the connection, tighten the cable clamp and close the cover
of the box.

If there is no symbol alight other than the digits of the clock, this means
that the timer is in “manual” mode.

Digital clock
The timer incorporates a digital electronic clock with luminous numbers
indicating the hours and minutes. When the appliance is first connected
to the a.c. supply, or following a power cut, three zeroes will blink in the
timer window. To set the clock press the two buttons and together,
release and then use the or symbol to select the exact time. The
longer the increase or decrease button is held, the faster the numbers will
scroll.
If convenient, the clock can be turned back to 00.00:
to scroll back further at this point, release all the buttons and repeat the
sequence, pressing and holding the decrease button until the time
appears in the display.
Normal cooking without using the timer
To operate the oven in manual mode —in other words without using the
timer—the blinking “AUTO” indicator must be deactivated by pressing
the button.
Automatic cooking (programmed start and stop times)
To cook food in the oven using the automatic timer, proceed as follows:
- establish how long the food needs to cook
- enter the cooking stop time
- select the temperature and the cooking method.
Once these steps have been completed, the “AUTO” indicator will light
up permanently in the display, confirming that the oven has been
programmed.
Practical example: we want to cook food for a period of 30 minutes,
ending at 14.00.
- Pressing and holding , enter 0.30 in the display.
- Pressing and holding , enter 14.00 in the display.
This done, the display will revert to the current time and “AUTO”
reappears, confirming that the settings have been acknowledged and
memorized. At 13.30 (14.00 minus 30 minutes) the oven switches on
automatically and the symbols and
“AUTO” will appear for as long as cooking continues. The oven will then
switch off automatically at 14.00, triggering a beep that can be silenced
by pressing .

Semiautomatic cooking
A. Programming the duration
B. Programming the stop time.
A) Select the duration for which the food is to cook by pressing . The
oven will switch on immediately, with the symbols “AUTO” and
