Controls
Oven Function Control Knob
Oven Light - The oven light will be on without any
cooking function.
efrost Setting - This setting is intended to assist
in thawing of frozen food.
Fan Oven cooking - This allows you to roast or
roast and bake simoultaneously using any shelf,
without flavour transference.
Grill - The heat comes from the top element only
Thermostat Control Knob
Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to select
temperatures between 50°C and 250°C (MAX).
Thermostat Control Light
The thermostat control light will come on when the
thermostat control knob is turned. The light will remain on
until the correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle
on and off to show the temperature is being maintained.
The Safety Thermostat
This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of
malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequent
over-heating, the safety device will stop the power supply
to the appliance. If this happens, call your local Service
Force Centre. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled
through vents between the oven door and the control
panel, as shown in the diagram.
The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched off
to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.

Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way
as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this
steam to escape. However, always stand back from
the oven when o ening the oven door to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and
produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a
fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
 Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
 Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
 o not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
Hints and Tips
Before the First Use
Remove all ackaging, both inside and outside
the oven, before using the appliance.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without food.
uring this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is quite normal.
1. Model MSF 615: Set the time of day with the
electronic programmer.
2. Switch the oven function control knob to fan cooking
.
3. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
4. Open a window for ventilation.
5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Using the Oven
Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the drop down oven
door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the door
using the door handle, until it is fully open.
The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied with
two shelves. The shelf positions are counted from
the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
o not place cookware directly on the oven base.

The effects of dishes
on cooking results
ishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.

Using the Fan Oven
The air inside the oven is heated by the element around
the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates
hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven.
The advantages of cooking with this function are:
l Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not
usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may
find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on
cooking times. For recipes which require higher
temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven is
preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, souffles,
etc.
l Lower Tem eratures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures
than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking
chart or remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-
25°C for your own recipes which use conventional cooking.
l Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner positions.
This means that batches of the same food can be cooked
in the oven at the same time. However, the top shelf may
brown slightly quicker that the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours between
dishes.
FHow to Use the Fan Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required temperatu-
re.
THINGS TO NOTE
 The oven light will come on when the oven function
control knob is set.
 The oven fan will operate continually during cooking.
 The thermostat control light will remain on until the
correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on
and off to show the temperature is being maintained.
FO 0061
- Runner positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spread.
- When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.
- When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer cooking time.
- A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven. Place
dishes on a shelf in this position rather than on the
oven base, to allow air circulation around the food.
- When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal
trays of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich
cakes, then they will be cooked in the same time
and removed from the oven together. When different
sizes of trays or types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes
are cooked, they will not necessarily be ready
together.
- The fan oven can be used to heat foods through without
thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies, sausage rolls,
and other small pastry items. Use a temperature of
190-200°C and allow 20-40 minutes (depending on
the quantity of food in the oven).
- The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommendations for oven
temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be
prepared to adjust the temperature by 10°C if
necessary. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own conventional recipes.
- When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat
and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and
can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.
- The meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.
