oven in water or other liquids.
■If the cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Instructions for use
■Before using the oven for the first time, remove all packaging material and accessories
from the oven. Clean the appliance and all accessories to remove any dust or residual
traces of grease used during the manufacturing process. Allow the appliance to dry
completely before switching it on. It is recommended that the oven is switched on to the
highest setting for 3 minutes with the oven door open but without any food inside. It may
give off a slight odour or smoke at first. Do not be alarmed, this is normal and will vanish
after a while.
Hot plate operation
The hot plate wattages are as follows: 1000W left, 700W right.
■Turn the desired control knob to the required temperature setting. The knob is marked
MIN-MAX, with MIN representing the lowest temperature setting and MAX representing
the highest setting.
■Never leave the hot plate ON without a pot or pan on it as this will cause excessive heat
build up, and may damage the oven.
■The hot plates can be operated separately or in conjunction with the oven. However, we
recommend that only one hot plate is operated along with the oven to avoid causing an
overload on your home’s circuit breaker.
■It is recommended that you use the correct size of pots on the hot plates.
■If the pot is smaller than the plate, the heat will go up the sides of the pot and possibly
melt the handles of the pot.
■If the pot is larger than the plate, the heat will reflect off the bottom of the pot and
damage the top of the oven.

Operating the oven
■The oven’s wattage is 1500W (plus 1700W for the hot plates = 3200W). Set the oven to
the desired temperature, between 50 °C and 250 °C. The switches at the bottom of the
control panel are used to select either the grill or bake elements, or both elements
simultaneously.
Note: The oven’s temperature is not controlled by a thermostat, but rather regulated by a
simmer switch. As a result, the indicator light will switch on and off as the switch cycles,
but this does not indicate that the oven is at the correct temperature. We recommended
setting the oven to 250 °C to heat the oven quickly, then readjusting the temperature to
the desired setting.
The grill function, the bake function or a combination of both is controlled by the top knob
and the bottom heat switch.
Select the temperature setting first and then choose the desired oven setting (bake or grill).
Cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning any parts of the oven, always ensure that it is off, unplugged and has
completely cooled down. Always dry the oven properly after cleaning.
■Clean the glass door with a soft cloth and soapy water. Dry thoroughly before use. Do
not use a spray-on glass cleaner. Do not clean when hot.
■Wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth or soft sponge.
■Wash the baking rack and the baking tray in soapy water with a mild detergent and a
soft sponge.
■Do not use a steel wool pad, a metal brush, a harsh chemical oven cleaner or any
abrasive materials when cleaning the oven.
Note: Never immerse the oven in water or any other liquid.
