General Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type
of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe place for
future reference, along with the completed warranty card and purchase receipt. If

General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
Electrical connection
• Ensure there is an earthed socket nearby.
• A dedicated power circuit is recommended for the unit but not required.
Additional electrical appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current
(amperage) rating for that circuit. If after the installation of your oven the
circuit breaker trips or the fuse fails on a repeated basis, then a dedicated
circuit will likely be required.
• The unit’s power cord must be connected to a properly grounded and
protected, 240V~ electrical outlet. Always use ground fault protection where
required by the electrical code.
• The mains socket must be within easy reach so that the plug can easily be
removed if necessary.
• After installation the appliance must be able to be disconnected by an
accessible plug or a switch in the fixed wiring.
• The outlet voltage and circuit frequency must correspond to the voltage
stated on the appliance rating label.
Power cord
• To reduce the risk of fire, avoid running the power cord under rugs, carpets,
etc. Keep it away from high traffic areas where it may pose a tripping hazard.
• Do not allow electrical fittings or cables to come into contact with areas on
the oven that get hot. Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces during use. Do
not kink, squash or strain the power cord and protect it from sharp edges
and heat.
• Regularly check the power cord for damage. If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard or injury.
• Do not connect the appliance to an extension cord or plug adaptor, which
may overheat and cause a fire.
Ventilation requirements
• Heat, steam and moisture will be created during use of the oven. Take care
to avoid injury and ensure the room is adequately ventilated.
• If the appliance is going to be used for prolonged periods of time, additional
ventilation may be required. If in doubt about your ventilation requirements,
consult your qualified installer.
• To reduce the risk of fire, do not install this oven in an area where the
ventilation or circulation ducts may become blocked.

Installation (Cont.)
Ventilation requirements
• When mounted under a
benchtop, airflow ventilation
is important to help keep the
cabinets and oven electronics
from getting too hot (Fig. 1).
• The location of the power
point cannot be mounted
directly behind the oven as
this will impede the oven
sitting correctly into the
cabinet.
Positioning the appliance
• Before installing the appliance, make sure that the mains plug is
disconnected. Also ensure that the kitchen area is dry and well ventilated.
• This is a built-in oven and its back wall and one side wall can be placed next
to a high piece of furniture or a wall. Coating or veneer used on furniture
must be applied with a heat-resistant adhesive (120°C). This prevents surface
deformation or detachment of the coating.
• Easy access to all control elements should be ensured.
• Make an opening for the oven with the dimensions given on page 10,
observing all required clearances for ventilation.
• Insert the oven completely into the opening. To secure it, open the oven door
and locate the two fixing holes in the frame. Screw the two installation screws
through the oven frame into the housing unit (Fig. 2).

Before first use
• Read: The best way to familiarise yourself with all the parts and operating
principles of your new electric oven is to read this manual. Pay particular
attention to the safety instructions on pages 3–7. Refer to pages 8–9 for an
illustration and list of all parts and buttons.
• Initial use: After the appliance has been properly installed, and before first
use, you should burn off any dust, oil or other remnants that may have been
left from the manufacturing process or transport.
Take out any oven fittings (shelf supports), open a window or switch on
any ventilation in the room. Heat the oven in manual cooking mode to a
temperature of 200°C following the instructions on the next pages. Leave
the oven on for 15 minutes, or until no more odour or smoke is present. We
recommend you leave the room during this burning off process. However,
any smoke and odour development during this initial use is normal and
completely harmless; ensure good ventilation.
• Clean: After the oven cavity has cooled, wipe the interior and exterior oven
surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a little mild
detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Wash: Remove and wash the oven rack and baking tray with warm water
and a little washing-up liquid. Dry and return to the oven. Leave the oven
door open until it is completely dry.
CAUTION!
Take care to avoid burns, the oven becomes very hot during use.

Symbol Function / cooking mode
Oven light
This function provides a separate light control to illuminate the
oven cavity without opening the door. It will light up for all cooking
functions.
Defrost (with Fan)
This function circulates room temperature air to thaw frozen food
more quickly, without the use of any heat. It is a gentle yet effective
way to speed up the defrosting process.
Conventional heat (top and bottom elements)
On this conventional setting both the top and bottom elements
provide uniform heat for baking or roasting on a single level. This
function is suitable for baking heavy cakes and bread, and for
roasting fatty meats such as goose and duck. Place your food in
the centre of the oven.
Fan Forced
On this fan-forced setting the circular heating element produces
the heat and the fan distributes it quickly and evenly throughout the
oven cavity. This results in a fast and economical cooking process,
where food can be cooked simultaneously on different oven
shelves, all at the same temperature.
Single Grill
This cooking method uses the inner part of the top heating element
to grill the food.
Double Grill
This cooking method uses the inner and outer parts of the top
heating element and the fan to grill larger quantities of food. It is
recommended for grilling meat.
Fan Assisted Double Grill
On this setting the full heating element at the top of the oven is
in use together with the fan, which provides a quick circulation
of heat, resulting in evenly browned and crisp food. This function
is particularly suitable for grilling larger quantities of meat, where
quick browning is required and sealing in juices, such as when
cooking chicken pieces or smaller roasts.
Lower Heating Element (with Fan)
On this setting the heat is emitted only from below and is circulated
by the fan. This function can be used for sterilizing glass jars.

Shelf positions
• Your oven comes supplied with an oven rack and a baking tray, which can
be positioned on the side racks (shelf supports) at the sides of the oven
cavity (Fig. 5).
• When installed correctly, the oven rack and baking tray should be
horizontal and not at an angle. Ensure that you select a shelf position at the
same height on both sides of the cavity.
• Using the oven rack: The oven rack has safety stops to prevent accidental
withdrawal. After engaging the oven rack into the shelf supports, as you
push the oven rack into the oven, lift the front of the rack slightly to bypass
the stops and allow the oven rack to slide fully into the shelf supports.
• Removing the oven rack: Gently pull the oven rack outwards. When it
stops, lift the front slightly to bypass the safety stops and then completely
withdraw the oven rack from the oven.

Instructions (Cont.)
Cooking and baking tips
• Before switching on: Before cooking, check that any accessories that are not
required are removed from the oven and that only the baking tray and/or the
oven rack are positioned on the appropriate shelf support(s).
• Preheating: Unless your recipe states otherwise, always preheat the oven
and wait until the thermostat light has gone off before placing food inside
the oven chamber. You can choose not to preheat when using the fan-forced
mode; however, in such a case you may need to extend the given cooking
time by approximately 10 minutes.
• Positioning food: Place cooking and baking dishes in the centre of the oven
rack and leave gaps between dishes to allow air to circulate.
• Cooking times: If your recipe or food packaging gives no specific guidance
for cooking in fan-forced mode, you can generally reduce the cooking time
and temperature by 10% from the information given for a conventional oven.
• Baking tins: Whenever possible, choose dark baking tins. Dark tins conduct
heat better and shorten the baking time. Place baking tins directly on the rack.
• Roasting meat: Covering a roast or wrapping it in foil will preserve its juices
and the oven will remain cleaner. However, the roast will cook faster in an
uncovered pan. Use heatproof ovenware with handles resistant to high heat.
When roasting/grilling meat directly on the oven rack, place the baking tray
(with a small amount of water when roasting) underneath to catch spills.
• Grilling meat: Grilling is especially suitable for cooking sausages, steaks,
chops and fish fillets, or for browning and crisping the skin of a small roast.
Turn the meat over after half the grilling time has elapsed. Thinner slices
will require only one turn, for larger chunks you might need to repeat the
procedure. Always use barbecue tongs for turning meat.
• Packaged food: When cooking packaged food, always refer to the package
instructions for guidance on cooking temperatures, times and cooking modes.
Once familiar with the performance of your electric oven, temperatures and
times can be varied to suit personal preference.
• Frozen food: Always defrost frozen foods thoroughly before cooking, unless
packet instructions specifically mention to “cook from frozen”. Use the defrost
setting for rapid defrosting, or defrost food slowly in the refrigerator.
• Condensation: Roasting large chunks of meat may produce excessive steam
and condensation forming at the oven door. This is quite normal and does not
affect the operation of the oven. At the end of cooking, take the roast out of
the oven to rest and wipe the oven door thoroughly.
