General Safety Instructions
Important installation advice
• This oven must be installed by a licensed electrician.
• Adjacent furniture: When having the oven installed, make sure that
the adjacent benchtop surfaces, laminates and adhesives are able
to withstand a minimum temperature of 100°C, and the front parts of
neighbouring units up to 70°C.
Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone
to heat damage or discolouration at temperatures below the guidelines
given above. We assume no liability for any damage caused by the
appliances being installed in contravention of this temperature limit, or by
placing adjacent cabinet materials closer than 4mm near the appliance.
• Ventilation: Heat, steam and moisture will be created during use of the
oven. Take care to avoid injury and ensure that the room is adequately
ventilated. If the appliance is going to be used for prolonged periods
of time, additional ventilation may be required. If in doubt about your
ventilation requirements, consult your qualied installer.
• Cables: Do not allow electrical ttings or cables to come into contact
with areas on the oven that get hot.
• Curtains: Do not install the oven next to curtains or soft furnishings.
• Damaged cord: If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or a qualied service engineer in order to avoid a hazard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

environment and as described in this manual. Any other use may cause re,
electric shock or injury. This oven is not intended for commercial, industrial
or trade use.
• Follow instructions: Make sure to observe all rules and provisions in this
instruction manual. Do not allow anybody who is not familiar with the contents
of this manual to operate the oven.
• Use common sense: These instructions are not intended to cover every
possible condition and situation. As with any electrical household appliance,
common sense and caution are therefore always recommended when
installing, operating and maintaining the oven.
• Usage restriction: This oven is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of ex-
perience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruc-
tion concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Supervise children: Young children do not recognise the risks involved
when using electrical appliances. Make sure children younger than 8 years
of age are kept away from the oven during use. If it is necessary for younger
family members to be in the kitchen, ensure that they are kept under close
supervision at all times.
• Unattended: Never leave the oven unattended during use, as this is a re risk.
Oils and fats in roasting dishes may catch re due to overheating.
• No heater: Do not use the oven for heating a room or drying clothes.
• No timer: The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an

• Do not use when faulty: Do not use the oven in the event of a technical fault.
Any faults must be xed by an appropriately qualied and authorised person.
Contact our after sales support line for advice.
Oven-specific safety advice
• Oven door: Do not place heavy objects on the oven door. Do not lean on
the oven door when it is open, as this can damage the door hinges.
• Grill: Keep the oven door closed when using the grill function.
• Oven cavity: During cooking, never place pans or cookware directly onto
the bottom of your oven. Always place them on the shelves provided.
• Oven accessories: When removing the baking/drip tray or oven rack from
the hot oven, always use an oven mitt. If a temperature probe is included in
the scope of delivery, only use the supplied probe.
• Aluminium foil: Do not use aluminium foil to cover the grill pan or heat
items wrapped in aluminium foil under the grill. The high reectivity of the
foil could potentially damage the grill element. You should also never line the
base of your oven with aluminium foil.
• Lifting/moving: Do not attempt to lift or move the oven by using the oven
door or handle, as this may cause damage to the appliance or result in injury
to the person lifting the appliance.
• Cleaning: Clean the oven on a regular basis so oils and fats do not
accumulate and cause a re risk. Make sure the oven is switched off before
cleaning. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers to clean
the oven door glass as this can scratch the surface, which may result in the
oven glass shattering. Do not use steam cleaning equipment for cleaning any
part of the oven. When cleaning the oven, ensure that no part is immersed in
water or other liquid.
CAUTION: HOT SURFACE!
This symbol indicates that the heating elements and other acces-
sible parts inside the oven cavity become extremely hot during use
and can cause burns on contact. Do not touch hot surfaces! Take
care when handling the food you are cooking to avoid touching
hot parts inadvertently. Keep young children well away during use.
• Opening the door: Be careful when opening the oven door to avoid contact
with hot parts of the oven and steam.
• Danger of fire! Never leave items inside the oven cavity as this can be a re
hazard when the oven is switched on.

Installation
Unpacking the appliance
• This product has been packaged to protect it against transportation
damage. Unpack the appliance and remove all packaging materials from
around the oven and from inside the oven cavity.
• Keep all packaging materials until you have made sure your new oven is
undamaged and in good working order. The carton is recyclable. Whenever
possible, reuse the carton and recycle it when disposing of the packaging
materials.

children, so ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach, and
dispose of them safely.
This oven must be correctly installed by an appropriately qualified
electrician in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations and
following the instructions in this manual.
Do not try to install the oven yourself; doing so will expose you to danger and
void the warranty. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration or service can
cause injury or damage. We decline any responsibility for injury or damage,
to persons or property, as a result of improper use or installation.
Important advice for the installer
• Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the supply voltage
marked on the Rating Plate corresponds with your mains supply voltage.
• WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
• Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules.

Before first use
• Read: The best way to familiarise yourself with all the parts and operating
principles of your new electric oven is to read this manual. Pay particular
attention to the safety instructions on pages 5–7. Refer to pages 8–9 for a
picture and list of all parts and buttons.
• Initial use: After the appliance has been properly installed, and before rst
use, you should burn off any dust, oil or other remnants that may have
been left from the manufacturing process or transport.
First, set the oven to manual operation mode (see opposite for
instructions). Then set the oven function to the “Intensive Bake” setting
(see page 21) and the thermostat to a 250°C.
Leave the oven on for 30–40 minutes. We recommend you leave the
room during this burning off process. However, any smoke and odour
development during this initial use is normal and completely harmless;
ensure good ventilation.
• Clean: After the oven cavity has cooled, wipe the interior oven surfaces
with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a little mild detergent. Do
not use abrasive cleaners.
• Wash: Remove and wash the oven rack and baking/drip tray with warm
water and a little washing-up liquid. Dry and return to the oven. Leave the
oven door open until it is completely dry.
CAUTION!
Take care to avoid burns, the oven becomes very hot during use.
