Warning and Safety instructions
This appliance complies with all
relevant legal safety requirements.
Improper use of the appliance can,
however, present a risk of both per-
sonal injury and material damage.
Before installation and before using
the appliance for the first time, read
the operating instructions carefully.
They contain important notes on
safety, on the operation and care of
the appliance. This way you will
avoid the risk of accidents and dam-
age to the appliance.
Do not let children access the ap-
pliance or its controls. Supervise its
use by the elderly or infirm.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any fu-
ture user.
Correct usage
The appliance is intended for do-
mestic use to cook food, and in
particular to bake, roast, defrost, cook,
dry fruit etc, and to grill. Any other
usage is at the owner’s risk and could
be dangerous. The manufacturer can-
not be held responsible for damage
caused by improper use of the ap-
pliance.
Technical safety
Before connecting the appliance
to the mains supply make sure that
the voltage and frequency correspond
to the rating on the data plate. Consult
a competent person if in doubt.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective earthing
system, which complies with local and
national regulations. It is most import-
ant that this basic safety requirement is
tested by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held respon-
sible for the consequences of an inade-
quate earthing system.
This appliance must only be oper-
ated as a built-in appliance. This is
necessary to ensure that all electrical
components are shielded.
Never open the casing of the ap-
pliance.
Tampering with electrical connections or
components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user and can
cause operational faults.
Installation work and repairs may
only be carried out by suitably
qualified and competent persons to en-
sure safety. Repairs and other work by
unqualified persons could be dan-
gerous.
The appliance is only completely
isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched off at the wall socket
– or the mains fuse is withdrawn
– or the screw-out fuse is removed (in
countries where this is applicable)
Do not connect the appliance to
the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.

Warning and Safety instructions
Use
Caution, danger of burning.
High temperatures are produced by
the oven.
Great care should be taken to en-
sure that small children do not
touch the appliance when it is being
used. The hob and also external parts
of the oven such as the door glass,
vents and control panel can become
quite hot.
Use of heat-resistant oven gloves
is recommended:
– when placing food in the oven, turn-
ing or removing it.
When working with “Conventional” heat-
ing or when grilling, the element in the
roof of the oven and the guard plate
become very hot, and there is a danger
of being burnt.
Wait until the grill element has
cooled down before lowering it for
cleaning, to avoid the danger of burn-
ing.
Do not use force to pull it down as
this can cause the element to
break.
Do not heat up unopened tins or
jars of food in the oven, as press-
ure will build up and they will explode.
Do not push pots and pans around
on the oven floor as this could
damage the surface.
Do not lean or sit on the open oven
door, or place heavy items on it.
This could damage the appliance. Take
care in the region of the hinges. The
oven door can support a maximum
load of 10 kg.
Cover any food which is left in the
oven to be kept hot. This avoids
the food drying out. It also prevents
steam condensing and possibly lead-
ing to moisture damage in the oven.
If food is left in the oven after cook-
ing, e.g. to take advantage of the
residual heat, select the lowest tem-
perature available. Leave the function
selector switch at the position set.
Do not switch the appliance off until the
food has been removed. Otherwise
there may be a build-up of condensa-
tion which could adversely affect the
oven interior, and externally the control
panel, the worktop surface or surround-
ing kitchen furniture.
Put any deep frozen products such
as pizza on baking paper on the
rack. Do not place them on the baking
tray or grill pan. This could cause the
metal to distort to such an extent that it
might be difficult to remove the
tray/pan from the oven. The distortion
would increase with subsequent use.

Warning and Safety instructions
General notes
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. Pressurised steam could give
rise to a short circuit, or cause perma-
nent damage to the surface and to
components, for which the manufac-
turer of the oven cannot accept any re-
sponsibility.
Do not leave the appliance unat-
tended when cooking with oils and
fats as these can be a fire hazard if
allowed to overheat.
Do not use the oven to heat up the
room. Due to the high tempera-
tures radiated, objects left near the
oven or hob could catch fire.
When using kitchen appliances
connected to sockets near the
oven, ensure that the cable cannot
come in contact with the hot cooking
zones or get trapped in a hot oven
door, which could melt the cable insula-
tion and be dangerous.
Always ensure that food is suffi-
ciently cooked or reheated. Many
factors will affect the overall cooking
time, including the size and amount of
food, its temperature, changes to the
recipe and the shape and size of cook-
ing container. Some foods may contain
micro organisms which are only de-
stroyed by thorough cooking, therefore
when cooking or reheating foods, e.g.
poultry, it is particularly important that
food is fully cooked through. If in doubt
select a longer cooking or reheating
time.
It is important that the heat is
allowed to spread evenly throug-
hout the food being cooked.
This can be achieved by stirring and/or
turning the food, and by observing a
sufficiently long standing time, which
should be added to the time needed
for cooking, reheating or defrosting.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surround-
ings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guaran-
tee.
Disposal of your old machine
Before discarding an old machine
switch off and disconnect it from
the power supply. Cut off and render
any plug useless.
Cut off the cable directly behind the
machine to prevent misuse.
The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for damage caused by non-
compliance with safety instructions.

“Fan Heat D” or “Conventional heat-
ing A”.
Select the highest temperature.
The timer can be used to set the finish
time.
Ensure the room is well ventilated
during this process.

Oven - use
Description of the systems
Fan Heat D
This system works by the circulation of
heated air.
A fan situated on the back wall of the
oven sucks in the air, heats it over a
ring element and blows the heated air
through the carefully spaced openings
in the rear panel of the oven.
The oven does not usually need to be
pre-heated as the heated air reaches
the food straight away.
Exception: Pre-heat the oven when
roasting meat or baking bread made
with dark flour.
Using the fan heating system you can
bake and roast on different levels at the
same time.
The heated air used by this system is
of a lower temperature than that used
with the Conventional heating system.
Auto Roast E
This setting offers the fan heat with
Auto Roast. The oven heats initially to a
high temperature which seals the meat
to keep it succulent and tasty.
As soon as the high temperature has
been reached, the oven temperature is
automatically returned to the pre-se-
lected setting.
Conventional heating A
With this conventional method of heat-
ing, radiant heat is directed on the food
from above and below.
Pre-heating the oven is only necessary
when
– baking biscuits or cakes with a short
cooking time (up to approx. 30
minutes).
– baking some types of doughs.
– baking bread made with dark flour.
– roasting a joint of meat.
Defrost G
No heating is used.
At this setting air at room temperature
is circulated by the fan, for gentle de-
frosting.
Grill ,
The inner part of the upper heating ele-
ment acts as the grill. This will glow red
a few minutes after switching it on and
is then ready for use.
Pre-heat the grill for 5 minutes with the
oven door closed, before placing the
food on the rack.
11

Oven - use
The double oven has a choice of two
ovens with differing heating systems.
The upper oven -uses a top and bot-
tom heating system.
It is suitable for preparing thinner items
of food (e.g. tray baking, “flat” cakes,
grilling slices of fish)
The lower oven ehas both Fan Heat
and Top and Bottom heating systems,
and offers a wide range of options.
Controls

Each oven has its own temperature se-
lector. Select the appropriate tempera-
ture for the food to be cooked.
Turn the temperature selector only
in a clockwise direction, and back,
otherwise the control could be dam-
aged.
Defrost G: Do not set a tempera-
ture when selecting “Defrosting”.
The temperature can be freely selected
within the given range.
When the temperature selector is
switched to the chosen temperature,
the indicator light above this switch
comes on.
When the temperature is reached, the
heating element switches itself off.
When the temperature falls below that
selected, the heating switches on
again automatically.
Pre-heating the oven
This is only necessary in a few cases.
With Fan Heat D
– for baking bread made with dark
flour,
– for roast beef and beef fillet.
With “Conventional” A
– for baking biscuits and cakes with a
short cooking time.
– for baking some doughs.

time, put the food to be roasted or
baked into the oven.
14

Oven - use
Rack with safety feature
The non-tip safety feature prevents the
rack from being pulled right out when it
only needs to be partially pulled out.
When using the rack push it into the
oven so that the safety notches (il-
lustrated) go to the rear of the oven,
to meet the notches on the runners.
The rack can then only be taken right
out of the oven by raising it upwards
and then pulling it out.
