Introduction
Please take the time to familiarise yourself with the controls, parts &
accessories before using the oven or hobs. This could save a lot of time later.
BEFORE USING YOUR OVEN
Before using your oven for the first time, be sure to:
! Wash the handle, wire rack and baking tray accessories with soapy water.
! Use a damp cloth to wipe lightly the inner walls of the oven. Use a small amount of
detergent, but don’t use a spray or abrasive or polishing agent. Don’t touch the electric
heating tubes, and don’t soak the inside of the oven with water.
! Place wire rack and baking tray inside the oven.
! Close the oven door and then preheat the oven at the highest temperature for 5 minutes.
This process is designed to remove the coating on heating elements.

USING THE HOBS
It is important to use flat-bottomed saucepans to ensure a good heat transfer. Also try to use
saucepans with a similar diameter to the hob you are using.
Small hob: The small hob has 4 heat settings. Use the bottom control to select the
appropriate heat. Setting ‘0’ is the off position. The small hob can be used at the same time
as the oven or grill.
Large Hob: The large hob has 3 heat settings and can be used at the same time as the small
hob. However, only one heat setting on the large hob is available at the same time as the
oven or grill. This is because there are restrictions on the amount of power an appliance can
draw from a UK mains outlet. Use the middle control to select the appropriate setting for the
large hob.
Note: In order to use the large hob in conjunction with the oven or grill, you must set the
middle control to position B (see above drawing). To switch off the large hob but not the oven,
move the middle selector to position A
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR OVEN
BAKING/GRILLING
1. Place the wire rack or baking tray into the desired rack level (top position for grilling).
2. Turn the middle selector switch to position A (see above drawing) then select the
appropriate temperature via the thermostat.
3. For grilling, set the middle selector switch to position A then set the top selector to the
Grill position (see above drawing).
4. Note: If you wish to use the large hob in conjunction with the oven or grill, then the middle
selector should be set at position B
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
! It is essential that this oven is cleaned after each use to prevent build-up of fat or
crumbs, which could cause a fire hazard.
! First remove the plug from the wall outlet.
! After the oven/hobs cool, use a damp cloth or sponge to clean. Don’t soak the inside of
the oven or wash it in running water, as it will cause serious damage to the appliance.
! Don’t use any sharp or hard kitchen tools to clean the oven. This will damage the
coatings on the oven.
! Covering the food with aluminum foil before cooking should make the clean-up easier.
! The wire rack and baking tray can be removed and washed with running water or in a
dish washing machine.
