explained below:
Oven function dial
The oven function dial allows you to set the oven function mode for the oven. The
dial has to be rotated clockwise or anti-clockwise to set the required oven
function.
When the required type of function is set, the oven light that is inside the oven
lights up. The temperature dial will also need to be adjusted when using any of the
oven functions except the oven lamp and defrost functions.
Note: The dial must be put in the off position after each use.
Note: Always pre-heat the oven to the required temperature before cooking.
10
Symbol Function
Oven Lamp: Turns on the oven lamp.
Defrost: Circulates air in the oven at room temperature (without the use of
any heat) enabling quicker thawing of frozen food.

11
Symbol Function
Convection heating: A fan with a ring heating element on the back of the
oven ensures that the heated air is distributed evenly.
You can bake cakes, pizza, biscuits, small cakes and puff pastry on two
levels at the same time.
Eco: Energy-saving cooking mode where the fan distributes the heated air
around the food that is emitted from the top and rear heating elements.
Note: The oven light will not operate when this function is selected.
Best suited for small amounts of food that are best cooked gentle; bakes,
meat dishes, vegetables, frozen pizza and biscuits. Not suitable for cakes
and large amount of food.

cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.
•There are side support racks affixed to the compartment that accessories such
as the wire shelf baking tray, etc. can be inserted in to.
•The coating of the oven cavity is enamel.
•Before you use 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.
Warnings:
•When it is first used, it is normal for the oven to give off odours; this does not
pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction; they will disappear in
time.
Energy saving
The following advice is to help you save energy:
•Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe
•Open the oven door as infrequently as possible
•Use black enamelled baking trays, tins, etc. as they absorb the heat well.
•If you need to cook, bake or roast a number of different foods then it is best to
do this one after the other. The oven will be at temperature, reducing the need
to pre-heat the oven again.
•Cook more than 1 item at a time using the different accessories provided.

How to clean
Observe the information in the table below to ensure that the different surfaces
are not damaged by using the wrong type of cleaning agent. Do not use:
•Harsh or abrasive cleaning agents,
•Cleaning agents with a high concentration of alcohol,
•Hard scouring pads or sponges,
•High-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
•Clean all accessories by hand, do not clean in the dishwasher.
Surface type How to clean
Stainless Steel Hot soapy water: Clean with a dish cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning and Maintenance:
How to clean:
•After each use, clean all surfaces once they have cooled down. If any residue is
left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, will become stuck to
the surface and more difficult to remove later.
•Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will save yourself any
unnecessary effort.
•Where possible, do not allow salt to come into contact with the surfaces of the
appliance.
Causes of damage:
•Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the cooking
compartment floor: Do not place accessories on the cooking compartment
floor. Do not cover the cooking compartment floor with any sort of foil or
greaseproof paper. Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if
a temperature of over 50ºC has been set. This will cause heat to accumulate.
The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be
damaged.
•Water in a hot cooking compartment: Do not pour water into the cooking
compartment when it is hot. This will cause steam. The temperature change
can cause damage to the enamel.
•Moist food: Do not store moist food in the cooking compartment when it is
closed for prolonged periods. This will damage the enamel.
•Fruit juice: When baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not pack the baking tray
too generously. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that
cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper universal pan.
•Cooling with the appliance door open: Only allow the cooking compartment to
cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front
panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.
16

Cleaning and Maintenance:
•Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no
longer close properly when the appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units
could be damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.
•Never use the appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the
appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place any cookware or
accessories on the appliance door.
•Inserting accessories: accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the
appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment as
far as they will go.

If the bulb in the oven light fails, it must be replaced with a heat resistant 25 watt
bulbs only. To replace the bulb follow the below steps:
Note: the oven lamp is located at the top right on the back of the oven.
1. Switch off the circuit breaker of the unit's mains outlet or fuse box.
2. Place a tea towel in the oven when it is cold to prevent damage.
3. Unscrew the glass cover by turning it anti-clockwise.
4. Replace the bulb with one of the same type.
5. Screw the glass cover back in.
6. Remove the tea towel and switch on the circuit breaker.
17

Cleaning and Maintenance:
Removing the Side Racks
The side racks in the oven cavity can be removed for deep cleaning. Follow the
below steps (ensure the oven & side racks are cold and not hot):
1. Unscrew the small screw at the base of the side support racks.
2. Carefully hold the side rack at its front (near where it is inserted into the oven
cavity) and pull it away from the cavity.
3. The rack will still be attached to the oven cavity at the back and to remove it
fully from the oven cavity simply pull it out and away from where it is inserted
in to the cavity.
