or fire.
•Never put objects into the openings on the outer case.
•Food containing a mixture of fat and water (e.g. stock), should stand for 30 to
60 seconds in the oven after it has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture
to settle and to prevent it from bubbling when a spoon is placed in it, or a stock
cube is added.

Hotplates
•The hotplates are controlled by dials with 6 positions, and can be operated by
switching a control dial to one of these positions.
•Near each hob control dial, there is a small symbol that shows which hotplate is
controlled by that dial.
•Please follow the chart below to advise what position to turn a dial to for
cooking different foods:
WARNING: When operating the hotplate for the first time, or after it has not been
used for a prolonged period of time, it is necessary to eliminate any humidity
which may have accumulated around the electrical elements of the plate. To do
this, operate the hotplate on its lowest setting for about 20 minutes.
WARNING: Never operate a hotplate without pans on. Otherwise, form defects
may occur on the cooktop.
WARNING: Only use flat-bottomed pans with thick bases.
WARNING: Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before placing it on a hotplate.

HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN
WARNING: When a hotplate is in operation, make sure that the pan is centred
correctly on it.
•Never use a pan with a smaller or larger diameter than that of the hotplate as
this will waste energy.
•If possible, always place lids on the pans to avoid heat loss.
•The temperature of accessible parts may become high while the appliance is
operating. It is imperative to keep children and animals well away from the
hob during use and until it has fully cooled after use.
WARNING: If you notice a crack on the cooktop, it must be immediately switched
off and replaced by an authorized service personnel or technician.
WARNING: When it is first used, the oven may give off odours; this does not
pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction. They will disappear in time.
This is perfectly normal and is caused by the insulation materials on the heating
elements. We suggest that, before using your oven for the first time, you leave
it empty and set it at maximum temperature for 45 minutes. Make sure that
the environment in which the product is installed is well ventilated.
Top Oven Cavity
•The top oven cavity is the grill compartment, and is controlled by the dial
labelled 5 (page 14).
•This compartment can be used to grill bacon, sausages, or bread etc.
•The dial goes from 0 (off position), to 6 (highest grilling temperature).
•NOTE: The top oven door must be fully open when this function is selected.
•When the grill is on, the warning light labelled 10 (page 14), will be switched
on.
•This cavity does not contain an internal oven light.
•There are side rack supports either side of the compartment that accessories
such as the wire shelves, grill tray, etc. can be inserted in to.
•The coating of the oven cavity is enamel.
•Before you use the oven and the accessories for the first time, clean them
with hot soapy water and a soft dish cloth. Clean all accessories by hand, do
not clean in the dishwasher.

HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN
Bottom Oven Cavity
•The bottom oven cavity has 3 different functions available, which are listed
and explained in table on the next page. These can be set by turning the dial
labelled 4 (page 14).
•Once the function has been selected, you can alter the temperature using the
dial labelled 3 (page 14).
•Once a mode and its relative temperature have been selected, the warning
light labelled 9 (page 14), will be switched on.
•The oven will start to heat up and the light will turn off when the temperature
inside has reached the temperature that has been selected.
•Depending on what function is selected, the oven has a different temperature
range e.g. the defrost function has a set temperature in order to not cook your
food, but with the fan function, the temperature can be amended to your
preference.
•An oven light is located in the cooking compartment. The light turns on
automatically when an oven function has been selected.
•A cooling fan protects the oven from overheating. The cooling fan switches on
and off as required.
•So that the cooking compartment cools down quickly after operation, the
cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.
Note: Always pre-heat the oven to the required temperature before cooking.
Making Changes During Cooking
•It is possible to change the heating mode and temperature during cooking.
Simply turn the oven function dial to change the programme, or turn the
temperature adjustment dial to change the temperature. After the changes
have been made, the oven will cook at the changed function and temperature.
However in order to have the best cooking results, we recommend to choose
the right settings at the beginning, prior to cooking.

Types of Heating Modes
This oven has a number of modes. Below is an overview to enable you to find the
suitable heat settings required for certain dishes/cooking.

Convection Heating: Turn the bottom oven control dial
past the defrost symbol to use this function. The fan
distributes the heated air that is emitted by the rear
heating elements around the food. Preheating the oven
for 10 minutes is recommended.
This function is best suited for baking, roasting all meat,
vegetables, and pre-cooked meals.
-
Defrost: Turn the bottom oven control dial to the defrost
symbol. This function circulates air in the oven at room
temperature (without the use of any heat) enabling
quicker thawing of frozen food. Place your frozen food on
a shelf in the middle of the oven. Place an oven tray under
your defrosting food to catch the accumulated water.
Use this to defrost food only.

Accessories
WARNING:
•Correct placement of the shelves between the side supports is imperative.
This will ensure that food does not fall off or slide out when in the oven or
being carefully removed from the oven.
•Ensure that you always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment
the right way round.
•Shelves and the grill pan must only be placed and used between the side
supports.
•The grill pan or any other kind of baking tray should not be placed on the
bottom of the oven cavity.
The accessories can be inserted in the oven at 5 different levels, and in the grill
cavity at 2 different levels. Always make sure that the accessories are inserted
properly, orientated correctly, and are not touching the oven door.
Wire Shelf –Use for ovenware, cake tins, roasts, grilling, and frozen meals. Slide
the wire rack into the oven with the raised part at the back and at the top.
