There are 9 functions as per below:
QUICK START/DEFROST FUNCTION: This function runs the rear fans and all elements. The heat generated is too
hot to cook in, but is perfect for preheating the oven (run at the required t emperature until the thermostat light turns
off and on a couple of time, then adjusts to the required function setting. To use as a defrost function, leave the
thermostat on 0. This allows air to flow over frozen food speeding up defrost times.
CONVENTIONAL COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper and lower elements. It is dependent on the
timer and the thermostat setting.
LOWER ELEMENT COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the lower element. It is dependent on the timer and
the thermostat setting. It can be used at low temperatures, for slow cooking casseroles & custard, and at high
temperatures for pastries.
UPPER ELEMENT COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper element. It is dependent on the timer and
the thermostat setting. With less power than the grill, this can be used to brown cauliflower cheese and to reheat
lasagne.
GRILL COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper and grill elements. It is dependent on the timer and the
thermostat setting. Best used for shorter grilling times, like toast or crumpets.
GRILL AND FAN COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper and grills elements, and runs both rear
internal fans. It is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. Best used for longer grilling times, or when
grilling foods with a lot of moisture.
FAN ASSIST COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper and lower elements, and runs both rear internal
fans. It is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. Best used when cooking large amounts of food at
one time, for frozen potato products and crumbed/battered chicken or fish.
FAN OVEN COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the circular rear elements; and runs both rear internal
fans. It is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. This function is suitable to most types of cooking,
with even temperatures throughout the oven.

USING THE ELECTRIC OVEN
When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes at a temperature of about 250°C to
eliminate any odours generated by the internal insulation. During normal oven use, select the desired cooking temperature using
the thermostat knob and wait until the orange light turns off (set temperature has been reached) before putting in any food. The
oven is equipped with 5 guides at different heights (Fig. 21) which can be used to insert shelves or the tray. To keep the oven as
clean as possible it is recommended to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has been inserted inside the tray. Always turn
the oven off by adjusting the oven function control knob to off (0).
NOTE: After use, the cooling fan will continue to run until the internal electrical system has cooled sufficiently.

When cooking, always open the oven door slightly first (head away from the door), to allow any built-up steam to escape, and
then open fully. Always use heat resistant gloves when removing hot items from the oven. Never line the sides or base of the
oven, or enamel backing dishes with aluminium foil (it can damage the enamel sur
f ace). Never cook or place cookware on the
base – always use trays and shelves provided.
Always preheat your oven before cooking (see the quick start function), which allows more accurate timing of cooking.
CONVENTIONAL COOKING
Conventional cooking cooks with heat coming from both the top and bottom, ideal for roasts and pastries. After preheating
oven to the correct temperature (50⁰C to 250⁰C), adjust oven function control knob
t o conventional cooking and place food
inside oven. Set timer if needed.
FAN OVEN COOKING
Fan Oven cooking cooks with heat coming from the rear of the oven, with hot air circulated around by the fans, ideal for
cooking different types of food together without mixing the tastes. Pre-heat the oven for 10 minutes before inserting the trays.
Adjust oven function control knob to fan oven cooking and place food inside oven. Set timer if needed.
GRILLING
The grill is controlled using the oven’s temperature knob. The grill function uses both elements at the top of the oven, so is
faster and more powerful than using the top element alone. Run this function with the door closed and at a temperature
not exceeding 150°C for up to 15 minutes. Use the enamel tray with wire rack insert at positions 1 or 2 (or lower to slow
down the grilling process). Do not leave the tray in the upper positions when not in use, as they will deflect heat away from
food.
Preheat for 5 minutes first before adding the food and tray. This function is best for thinner, quickly cooked food like toast;
for thicker food that will take longer, use the grill and fan cooking function.
GRILLING WITH FANS
This function is similar to the grilling function, but with the rear fans added, allowing a more even heat to flow around the food.
Run this function with the door closed. Place the food on a wire rack and insert at position 3. Place a baking dish on level 5 to
catch any juice or crumbs (this allows the heat to circulate the food). This is better for thicker foods which need to be cooked for
longer times. Preheat for 5 minutes first before adding the food and tray.
