•1 x pair of Retractable Slide Runners fitted to upper position and capable of being moved
to any selected position as required
•1 x Deep Enameled Roasting Pan with dual height reversible Grill Rack insert – which
must be positioned on its shelf support, then ready for sliding into side rack positions or
fitting onto Retractable Slide Runner
•2 x Wire Oven Shelves that can be fitted into Retractable Slide Runners or for sliding into
side rack positions
•Note: Additional Retractable Slide Runners are available as an optional extra and can be
fitted at any time
•Note: Additional oven shelves and pans are available as optional extras

The retractable slide runners can operate on shelf positions 2 to 6. The wire shelves can be
inserted at any shelf position, or on the retractable slide runner.
The roasting pan must be inserted on the oven shelf.
When inserting the wire shelf, the riser should be positioned upwards at the rear of the oven. The
grooves on the sides of the shelves, toward the rear provide an anti-slide stability for the oven
shelves when extended.
The retractable slide runners can be inserted on any shelf position by clipping or unclipping them
between the upper and lower rail of each shelf position.

B - Using the appliance for the first time
After installation, remove all notification labels (not identification or warning labels) and packaging
materials. After cleaning, make sure cleaned surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and wiped dry using
a clean, soft cloth.
NOTE: Oven will not operate unless time clock is set
The clock will require setting when you first turn on the power (or following a power failure)
See electronic control panel instructions.
Burning in
Before cooking in the appliance, an initial pre-heating is required to burn off the fine oil film used
to protect the elements during shipping. The first time you heat up the oven (or grill), the oil will
give off smoke, which is perfectly normal.
– Provide good ventilation during and after the first use at maximum temperature
operation.
Select one cooking mode and set the oven temperature to 180°C. With the oven door closed,
leave for approximately five minutes.
Repeat the above step for each cooking mode.
After completing the above, make sure all controls are turned off. The oven is now ready for
cooking and grilling.
NOTE:
On oven start up or possibly at other times, due to electricity supply deviations – the
programmer may freeze on a function – if this occurs we recommend that, after checking
other solutions without success, the power supply be disconnected from the appliance for
a few minutes, then reconnected. This may result in clearing the frozen function, allowing
you to reset the clock for normal operation.
Cooling Fan
The ovens are provided with a cooling fan motor to reduce the heat around the oven. The fan
motor is activated independently from oven temperature.
When you end the cooking program, the cooling fan will continue to operate until the oven
temperature drops below 70°C. This safeguards both the oven and the adjoining cupboards from
the possibility of temperature damage.
Safety Thermostat
Your oven is fitted with an over temperature sensor that will automatically shut down your oven
for a period if it is deemed to be overheating - this sensor is fitted to the rear wall of the oven,
inside the outer case – it will only activate in extreme circumstances and is provided as protection
to the appliance and the adjoining furnishings. If activated it will shut down the appliance for a
short time and will automatically reset allowing normal operation – you should consult your
service technician if the problem re-occurs.
TOUCH-CONTROL KEYS
The “touch-control” keys are operated by the fingers (just touching the key).When using touch
controls, it is best to use the ball of your finger rather than the tip.

PREHEATING
Preheating the oven is not essential, but you will achieve better results if you do. Some foods
such as, cakes and pastries, are cooked better in a preheated oven. Other foods for example,
casseroles cook just as well when cooked in a non-preheated oven but may need longer cooking
times.
For faster preheating, select Pizza Mode and the required temperature. Once the oven has
reached the required level, change to the cooking mode/function for the task.
To preheat the oven:
1- Set the mode required for preheating.
2- Set the oven to the desired temperature.
