To light the cooktop burners
To light the burner, press the control knob fully down and hold the
knob down before rotating anti-clockwise to the High Flame
position. The ignition device is integrated into the control knob and
is automatically activated by pushing down on the control knob.
After lighting the flame, keep the knob pressed for about 10
seconds: this time is necessary to heat up the thermocouple (D on
and activate the safety valve, which would otherwise cut
off the gas flow. This step only applies where flame failure device is
fitted.
In the instance of a power failure, place a lit match near the burner
and proceed as described above. If the flame does not light after
the first attempt, wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate before
attempting to re-light the burner.
Once lit, check that the flame is even and turn the control knob to
adjust the flame as required. If the flame is uneven, check that the
'burner head/skirt' and 'burner cap' are correctly positioned. To turn
off the flame, turn the control knob clockwise to the off position
( symbol). Before removing pots or pans from the burners, always
turn off the flame.
For correct use of the cooktop
For lower gas consumption and better efficiency, use only flat-
bottomed pans of dimensions suitable for the burners, as shown in
the table below. Also, as soon as a liquid comes to the boil take
care to turn the flame down to a level that will just keep it boiling.
Burner Minimum diameter Maximum diameter
Large (rapid) 150mm 260mm
Medium (semi-rapid) 130mm 180mm
Small (auxiliary) 90mm 160mm
Triple Flame (wok) 210mm 270mm
During cooking processes involving fats or oils, watch your foods
carefully because these substances may catch fire if overheated.

How to use your oven
This multi-function oven combines the advantages of traditional
conventional ovens with modern fan forced ovens in a single
appliance. It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to
choose easily and safely between different cooking modes. The
various cooking modes are selected by means of a cooking
mode selection knob, located on the control panel.
To operate the oven:
·Turn the cooking temperature selection knob to the desired
temperature (cooking guide is on pages r to ‘MAX’ if
Grilling.
The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set
the thermostat to the highest setting, set the cooking mode
selection knob to a cooking mode and leave the oven on for about
half an hour with nothing in it and the oven door closed. Then,
open the oven door and allow the oven to cool. Any odour that may
be detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of
substances used to protect the oven during storage.
Note: Place tray on the bottom shelf position of the oven to prevent
any spillages from dripping onto the bottom of the oven. Never
place anything (including foil and oven trays) on the bottom of
the oven when it is in operation because this could damage
the enamel. Only place your cookware (dishes, trays, aluminum
foil, etc.) on the Oven Shelves provided with the appliance.
·Turn the cooking mode selection knob to the desired cooking
mode (explanation of cooking modes is on pages 13 to 14)
20 to 21) o
If supplied, use the
chrome wire handle
shown left when
removing the trays
from the oven.

Use and Care
Positioning the oven trays & shelves
The Baking Tray, Grill Tray or Oven Shelf can be located in any of
the five height positions.
Refer to the ‘Cooking mode table’ for the recommended shelf
position. When fitting the trays or shelves, ensure they are fitted
between the two wires that are closest together as shown below.
Oven Shelves have a stop so that they are not fully withdrawn by
accident. To fully remove the Oven Shelves, lift the front of the shelf
slightly and withdraw fully from the oven. Note that the Grill Tray
and Baking Tray do not have a stop position and can be fully
withdrawn without interruption, so be careful not to accidentally
fully withdraw the trays.
To remove the Oven Shelf
Support, push down on the
wire below the locking pin,
pull away from the oven wall
until you can release the top
of the support from the
holes in the oven wall.

COOKING MODES
Conventional mode
When set to Conventional mode, the top and bottom heating
elements operate together like a ‘normal’ conventional oven that
you have probably used before.
Conventional mode is best suited for traditional baking and roasting
and you should only use one shelf at a time, otherwise the heat
distribution will be uneven.You can balance the amount of heat
between the top and the bottom of the dish by selecting a different
shelf height. If you want more heat at the top of the dish place the
dish on the top or second shelf. For more heat at the bottom of the
dish, place the dish on third or fourth shelf.
Delicate cooking mode
When set to Delicate cooking mode, the bottom element and the
fan will operate.This mode is suitable for pastries, cakes and non-
dry sweets in baking tins or moulds that require heat from the
bottom.
Grill mode
Select ‘Grill’ mode with cooking mode selection knob and turn
cooking temperature selection knob to‘Max’. When set to Grill
mode, the top inner or top inner and outer element operates.
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it
possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking
the juices in to keep them tender. Grill mode can also be used for
dishes that require a high temperature on the surface such as beef
steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers, etc.
Grill food with the oven door closed.

Use and Care
Fan assisted Top heat mode
Select ‘Fan Assisted Top’ mode with cooking mode selection knob
and turn cooking temperature selection knob to the desired
temperature setting.When set to Fan Assisted Top mode, the top
inner element and the fan operate.This mode increases the
circulation of air throughout the oven, which helps prevent food
from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right
into the food. Particularly suitable for kebabs made with meats and
vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken, quail, pork
chops, fish steaks, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
Fan Forced
When set to ‘Fan Forced’, the fan element and the fan operate
providing a delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods on
multiple shelves, especially cakes that need to rise such as cream
puffs and for certain tartlets, sweet or savoury biscuits, savoury
puffs, swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables, etc.
Defrost mode
When set to ‘Defrost’ mode, the fan located at the back of the oven
circulates room temperature air around the food.This is
recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, for
example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes,
etc. By using ‘Defrost’ mode, the defrosting time is approximately
halved.In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to
accelerate the process by selecting ‘Fan Forced’and
setting the temperature between 80°C to100°C.

operate until the oven cools down and then it switches off
automatically.

This appliance will allow you to cook any type of food in the best
possible way.With time you will learn to make the best use of this
versatile cooking appliance.The following directions are only a
guideline which may be varied according to your own personal
experience.
Preheating
If the oven needs to be preheated, remove any food or other
items from the oven. Set the cooking temperature selection knob
to the desired cooking temperature.
If you want to preheat the oven to a specific temperature, wait til
the Oven Temperature Indicator Light stops illuminating. Once the
light stops illuminating, it means that the oven has reached the
selected temperature.
Multi shelf cooking
Only use one shelf at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will
be uneven. If you want to cook food on several shelves, cook the
food that requires the most heat near the top of the oven and the
food that requires the least heat near the bottom of the oven.

Use and Care
Baking cakes
When baking cakes ,always place them in a preheated oven. Make
sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the
indicator light will turn off). To prevent heat loss and the cake from
dropping, do not open the oven door during baking.
In general...
... if pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time.
... if pastry has dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
... if pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature, and increase the
cooking time.
... if cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking
time.
... if the pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use
greaseproof paper.
... if I used multi shelf cooking and one shelf is more cooked
Use a lower temperature setting next time. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
