Accessories delivered with the
appliance
The following accessories are supplied with your
appliance.
•Grill Deflector
To be used when the grill is operation.
•Shelf for placing dishes on (roast, pastry
mounds)
The dish should be put in the middle of the
shelf to balance the weight.
•A roasting tray with roasting grid on it.
It is used to collect juice when cooking in it,
place it on the shelf 2.
If you do not use the roasting tray, remove it
from the oven.
•Removable handles
In addition to the accessories supplied we
recommend you only use heatproof dishes/pans
(according to the manufacturer’s instructions).
Removable drawer
The removable drawer is located underneath the
oven cavity.
During cooking the drawer may
become hot if the oven is in use for a long
period of time. Flammable materials such as
oven gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons etc.
should not be stored in the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will
also become hot, therefore care should be taken
when removing these items from the drawer
whilst the oven is in use or still hot.
To open
•Grasp the drawer from underneath and pull it
out as shown.
•To remove the drawer, pull it out to the stop,
then lift it up slowly and pull it out completely.
To replace the drawer follow the same
procedure in reverse.

Hints and Tips
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
opening 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 ovenproof cookware, which will
withstand temperatures of 275°C.
Oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly on the oven base.
Oven Cooking
•Turn off the oven 5 minutes before the end of
cooking time, and use residual heat to
complete the cooking.
•The thickness, the material and the colour of
the pan will influence the cooking results.
•When cooking, certain dishes increase in
volume, ensure the pan is large enough.
•To prevent fat dripping when roasting use tall
rim pans proportional to the item being
roasted.
•Prick the skin of poultry and sausages with a
fork before cooking to avoid spitting.
•Use heatproof glass dishes for soufflés.
The effects of dishes on cooking results
Dishes 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, anodised aluminium,
aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase
cooking and base browning.

13
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The oven should be kept clean at all
times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstuffs could result in a fire.
Before cleaning, ensure all control
knobs are in the OFF position, and the
appliance has cooled completely.
Before any maintenance or cleaning
can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your
oven, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT
be used as they may dull the surface
finishes. A steam cleaner is not to be
used. Harsh abrasives should also be
avoided.
External cleaning
We recommend for cleaning cleaners that do
not scratch the surface; Avoid use of metall
objects, steel wool or nylon pads, abrasive or
caustic products, or diluents. Regularly wipe over
the control panel, the cover, oven door and door
seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm
water to which a little washing up liquid has been
added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
•Household detergent and bleaches
•Impregnated pads unsuitable for non
stick saucepans
•Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
•Chemical oven pads or aerosols
•Rust removers
•Bath/Sink stain removers
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst
the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in
warm soapy water after each use. From time to
time it will be necessary to do a more thorough
cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.
Hob
After every use wipe with a soft cloth well wrung
out in warm water to which a little washing up
liquid has been added, avoiding any leakage
through the holes of the hob. Rinse and dry with a
soft cloth.
To remove more stubborn stains, wet and leave to
dissolve, do not scratch and avoid the use of
abrasive or caustic products that could damage
the enamel.
Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning. Wash the burners caps and crowns using
hot soapy water, and remove marks with a mild
paste cleaner. A well-moistened soap impregnated
steel wool pad can be used with caution, if the
marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft
cloth.
Cleaning the oven door
For a more complete cleaning of the oven door, it
is advisable to remove it in the following way;
-Open the door completely.
-Lift the two locking plates on the hinge arms
to 170°;
-Partially close the door, to a 30oangle
-Lift the door and pull out.
locking plates
Refit the door by reversing the operation
described above.

14
DO NOT clean the oven door while the
glass panels are warm. If this precaution is
not observed the glass panel may shatter. If
the door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scratches, the glass will be weakened
and must be replaced to prevent the
possibility of the panel shattering.
Contact your local Service Centre who will be
pleased to advise further.
OVEN BULB REPLACEMENT
Ensure that the appliance is switched off
and disconnected from the electricity supply
before replacing the bulb to avoid possibility
of an electric shock.

letter 'N' or coloured black.
- Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter 'L'
or coloured red.
NOTE: The earth wire should be about 2 cm
longer than the live and neutral wires.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray
strands of wire present and the cord clamp must
be secure over the outer sheath.
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp
socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of
safety.
Before connecting check that:
•The plug used for connection is easily
accessible when the appliance is installed.
Permanent Connection
In the case of a permanent connection, it is
necessary that you install a double pole switch
between the cooker and the electricity supply
(mains), with a minimum gap of 3mm, between
the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the
required load in compliance with the current
electric regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green
earth cable at any point.
Ensure that the cooker supply cord does
not come into contact with surfaces with
temperatures higher than 50 deg. C .
