D – Flame failure thermocouple (where fitted)
E - Ignition electrode
To Light The Cooktop Burners
To light the burner, press the control knob fully down and continue to hold the knob
down before rotating the knob anti-clockwise to the high flame position. The ignition of
the burner is integrated into the control knob and is automatically activated by pushing
down on the control knob.
After lighting the flame, continue to hold the knob down for 3 seconds. This time is
necessary to heat up the flame failure thermocouple (Fig 1 – D) and activate the safety
valve, which would otherwise cut off the gas flow.
In the instance of a power failure it is still possible to operate your appliance. Place a lit
match next to the burner and follow the steps as above for normal lighting. If the flame
fails to ignite wait for 5 minutes to allow the gas to dissapate, before attempting to re-
ignite the burner.

8
Once lit check that the flame is even and regular and turn the control knob to adjust the
flame as required. If the flame is uneven, check that the burner head /skirt ( Fig 1 A & B)
are correctly positioned.
To turn off the flame, turn the control knob clockwise to the “Off” position. Before
removing pots and pans from the burner always turn off the flame.
Correct Use of The Cooktop
For lower gas consumption and better heating performance use only flat bottom pots and
pans of suitable dimensions for the burners as shown in the table below. Also, as soon as
the liquid comes to the boil ensure that the flame is turned down to a level that keeps the
liquid just boiling. It is very important that pots are placed centrally over the burners.
POT SIZE
Burner Minimum Diameter Maximum Diameter
Small ( Auxilliary) 80mm 160mm
Medium (Semi-rapid) 120mm 200mm
Large ( Rapid) 180mm 220mm
Triple Flame ( Wok) 220mm 260mm
Positioning the Oven Trays & Shelves
The baking tray, grill tray and wire shelves can be located in any of five height positions.
When positioning tray heights it is important to remember that this oven may perform
differently to the way your previous appliance worked. To obtain the best cooking results
please experiment with temperature, rack height and cooking times. As a helpful guide
please refer to the “Cooking Mode Table”. When fitting the wire racks or trays please
ensure that they are located between the two wires that are closest together on the side
racks. Wire racks have a safety stop so that they cannot be fully withdrawn by accident.
To fully withdraw the wire racks simply lift the front edge slightly and withdraw the rack
from the oven. The baking tray does not have a stop position and can be fully withdrawn
from the oven without interuption. BE CAREFUL NOT TO ACCIDENTALLY
FULLY WITHDRAW THE TRAY.

How To Use Your Oven
This multi-function oven combines the advantages of traditional convection ovens with a
modern fan assisted oven in a single appliance. It is an extremely versatile appliance that
allows you to choose easily and safely between different cooking modes. The various
cooking modes are selected by means of the cooking mode selection knob, located on
the control panel.
It is important to remember that this oven may perform differently to the way your
previous appliance worked. To obtain the best cooking results please experiment with
temperature, rack height and cooking times. As a helpful guide please refer to the
“Cooking Mode Table”.
To operate this oven:
•Ensure that manual mode is selected (Page 16).
•Turn the cooking mode selection knob to the desired cooking mode (explanation of
cooking modes is on pages 14 to 15).
•Turn the temperature selection knob to the desired temperature (please refer to the
helpful cooking guide.).
•If grilling turn the temperture selection knob to “MAX”
The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the temperature to
“MAX”, set the cooking mode selection knob to a cooking mode and leave the oven
operating (empty) for approx ½ an hour. Then turn off the appliance and allow to cool.
Any odours that may be detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of
substances used to protect the appliance during manufacture and storage.
NOTE: Place the baking tray provide on the bottom shelf position to prevent any
spillages from dripping onto the bottom of the oven. Never place anything (including
foil and oven trays) directly onto the bottom of this oven when it is in operation as
this could damage the enamel. Only place your cookware (dishes, trays, aluminium
foil etc) on the oven shelves provided with this appliance
Fit the trays and shelves
between the two closest
wires as shown right
To remove the side support
racks, push down on the wire
below the locking pin and pull
away from the oven wall until
you can release the bottom of
the support from the holes in
the oven wall. To replace
reverse this procedure.

10
If supplied use the chrome wire handles (shown below) when removing the oven tray
from the oven.
Convection Mode
When set to Convection Mode, the top and bottom heating elements operate together
like a ‘normal’conventional oven that you have probably used before.
Convection mode is best suited for traditional baking and roasting and you should only
use one shelf at a time, otherwise there will be uneven heat distribution. You can balance
the amount of heat between the top and bottom of the dish by selecting a different shelf
height. If you want more heat at the top of the dish place the dish on the top or second
shelf. For more heat on the bottom of the dish place the dish on the third or fourth shelf.
Delicate Cooking Mode
When set to delicate cooking mode, the bottom element and the fan will operate. This
mode is most suitable for pastries, cakes and non-dry sweets in baking tins or moulds
that require heat from the bottom.
Top Heat Mode
When set to Top Heat mode, the top heating element operates. This mode can be used to
brown food at the end of cooking.
COOKING MODES

11
Grill Mode
When Grill mode is selected the top inner element operates. Set the temperture to MAX
when using grill function. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes
it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep
them tender. Grill mode can also be used for dishes that require a high temperature on
the surface of the dish such as steak, ribs, fillets, hamburgers etc. Grill the food with the
oven door closed to avoid high tempertures on control knobs and surfaces.
Fan Assisted Grill Mode
When the fan assisted grill mode is selected the inner element and fan operate. This
mode increases the circulation of the heated air throughout the oven, which helps
prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to fully penetrate the dish.
This mode is particularly useful for kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages,
ribs, chops chicken etc. In fan assisted grill mode, grill with the door closed to avoid
high surface tempertures on control knobs and surfaces. When using fan assisted grill
mode place the food on the 2
nd
or 3
rd
oven shelf from the bottom. Place a dripping pan
on the first rack to prevent grease and fats from dripping onto the oven floor. We
recommend using 200⁰C with this mode as it is the most efficient temperature. However
this doesn’t mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply select your desired
temperature.
Baking Mode (Fan Forced)
When Baking mode is selected the fan element and fan operate to provide a delicate heat
that is more evenly distributed throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for for baking and cooking delicate foods on multiple shelves,
especially cakes that need to rise such as cream puffs, biscuits, swiss rolls etc.
NOTE: This function relies on the air circulation within the oven cavity to provide even
temperatures and as such the size and placement of trays can affect the temperature
distrubution. It is usual to have some temperature variations within the oven cavity and
this function is NOT a guarantee of perfectly even temperatures throughout the oven.
Defrost Mode
When Defrost mode is selected, the fan located at the back of the oven circulates room
temperature air around the oven. This is recommended for defrosting all types of food
but is particularly effective at defrosting delicate food items. It is possible to accelerate
the defrosting process by selecting multi-cooking mode and setting the temperture
between 80⁰C and 100⁰C.

The oven offers a wide range of settings which allows you to cook any type of food in
the best possible way. With time and experimentation you will learn the heat settings,
cooking modes and shelf heights that will deliver you the results that best match your
cooking style. The advice given below is a guideline only which may be varied
according to your own personal experience.
Pre-Heating of Oven
If the oven needs to be preheated, the convection mode or baking mode
should be selected. These are the most efficeient modes, which will reach the desired
temperature as quickly as possible using the least amount of energy. Once the oven has
been preheated and the cooking mode selcted, the food should be placed in the oven.
Multi-Shelf Cooking
If you want to cook food on several shelves, select the “Baking (Fan Forced)” mode
This is the only mode that allows you to cook on multi-shelves at the same time. When
cooking delicate foods on more than one shelf, use “Baking Mode”, as this allows you to
cook on three shelves.

Cleaning the oven:
Before cleaning your appliance or performing maintenance, make sure that the cooking
mode selection knob and cooking temperature selection knob is set to the “OFF”
position. To extend the life of your oven it must be cleaned frequently.
The inside of the oven should prefereably be cleaned soon after use when the oven is
still warm (not hot), with warm soapy water. The soapy water should be rinsed away and
the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers, acidic cleaners
etc, as these may damage the enamel. If stains are particularly tough to remove, use
cleaners specifically recommended to clean ovens and follow the instructions provided.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean the inside of this oven.
If you operate the oven for an extended period of time, or if you are cooking dishes that
contain a lot of water, condensation may form on the oven door. Dry it using a soft cloth
and try reducing the cooking temperature.
There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven, Check the condition of the seal on a regular
basis. If necessary, clean it but avoid using abrasive products or objects to do so. Should
it become damaged please contact Parmco Appliances service department. We
recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.
Never place anything (including foil and oven trays) on the bottom of the oven
when it is in operation as this may result in damage to the enamel.
Clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they
can scratch the surface which may result in the glass shattering.
Cleaning the Cooktop:
Before cleaning the cooktop make sure all burners are “OFF” and allow the appliance to
cool down. To keep stainless steel in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly after
each use.
The stainless steel parts should be washed with lukewarm water without using any
abrasive powders or corrosive substances. If any stainless steel has difficult to remove
stains, use cleaners specifically recommended to clean stainless steel. After cleaning any
surface, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry.
Wash the burner caps and head/skirts often with hot water and detergent, taking care to
remove all deposits. Ensure that the burner ports in the head/skirts are clear and not
blocked by water or detergent. The pan trivets can be washed in the dishwasher. For
stubborn dirt, use ordinary non-abrasive detergents or specific commercial products. We
strongly advise not to use scouring type pads, steel wool or acid for cleaning. DO NOT
STEAM CLEAN THIS APPLIANCE.
Cleaning the front panels:
To clean the front panels of the appliance use hot soapy water. Use of abrasive cleaners,
powders, pads etc will remove the printed graphics prematurely.
Cleaning the Ignition Plug
Automatic burner ignition is provided by a ceramic “candle” (E) and a metal electrode.
Periodically clean these parts of the hob thoroughly. In addition, to avoid ignition
