Operating Instructions
Ensure that all packaging is removed, and all shelves are firmly in place.
Ensure that the operation thermostat is switched off.
Plug in the unit and switch on.
Located on the front top panel there are two knobs and three neon’s. The first knob
controls the power to the heating elements, fans and light. Turning the switch to the
first position turns on the interior light and shows that the unit has power is being
supplied. Power to the machine is also indicated by the illumination of the red neon
on the front of the unit.
The second switch position turns on the fans
The third position activates the rear 1.8KW element. This allows the unit to be used
as a fan oven. The top green neon illuminates when this position is selected.
The fourth position selects the rear 1.8KW element, plus the bottom 1.1KW element.
These work together to give the oven a combined power rating of 2.9KW. Both green
neon’s will be illuminated to signify that both elements are in use.
The second knob controls the temperature of the oven, note that the green indicator
neon will come on when the dial is first turned, but will go out when the oven has
reached the required temperature.
Since the fan assisted oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a lower
temperature than a conventional oven, preheating the oven is often unnecessary. However,
food such as bread, scones and Yorkshire puddings, do prefer to be placed in a pre-heated
oven.
Cooking guidelines
Frozen Meat and Poultry
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a domestic
refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g (1lb)), or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours
per 450g (1lb)). If, however, it is found necessary to accelerate this process, frozen food can
be defrosted in the fan oven at a temperature of 70/80°C (150 / 175 degrees F). A 1.5 kg (3
lb) oven-ready chicken, placed in the meat pan, will defrost in approximately 1 ¼ -1 ½ Hours.
Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven.
Warming Dishes
Take care particularly with delicate tableware. Place the dishes to be warmed in the oven.
Turn the oven control to 90°C
