16
Selecting a cooking function and temperature
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you have setyour oven
into manual operation mode before selecting an
oven function and temperature.
Selecting an oven function
The oven function selector knob should be used to select the particular
mode of cooking that you require. The appliance will utilise different
elements within the oven cavity, depending on the oven function that
you select. When a function is selected, the power indicator light will
come on.
Oven functions
OVEN LIGHT: Separate light control which allows the light to
be switched on, even when the oven is not cooking.
DEFROST MODE: The fan runs without heat to reduce the
defrosting time of frozen foods. The time required to defrost
the food will depend on the room temperature, the quantity
and type of food. Always check food packaging for the defrosting
instructions.
FAN OVEN: This method of cooking uses the circular element
while the heat is distributed by the fan. This results in a faster
and more economical cooking process. The fan oven allows
food to be cooked simultaneously on different shelves, preventing the
transmission of smells and tastes from one dish onto another.
GRILL MODE: This method of cooking utilises the inner part
only of the top element, which directs heat down onto the
food. This function is suitable for grilling small portions of
bacon, toast and meat etc…

17
Thermostat control knob
oThe oven thermostat control
knob sets the required
temperature of the oven. It is
possible to regulate the
temperature within a range of
50 - 250°C.
oTurn the control knob
clockwise.
Oven operating light
oThis light will come on to
indicate that the oven’s
heating elements are in
operation. The light will turn
off when the temperature set
on the thermostat control
knob has been reached. It will
cycle on and off throughout
the cooking time.
You should not place food inside the cavity, until the
correct cooking temperature has been reached.
Cooking guidelines
oPlease refer to the information given on food packaging for
guidance on cooking temperatures and times. Once familiar with
the performance of your appliance, temperatures and times can
be varied to suit personal preference.
oIf you are using the fan oven function, then you should follow
the information given on the food packaging for this particular
mode of cooking.
oYou should pre-heat the oven and not place food inside of it until
the oven operating light has gone off. You can choose not to pre-
heat when using the fan oven mode; however you should extend
the cooking time given on the food packaging by at least ten
minutes.

18
oIMPORTANT: You should ALWAYS pre-heat the oven if you are
baking.
oIf there is no guidance given on the food packaging specifically
for cooking in fan oven mode, you can generally reduce the
cooking time and temperature by 10% from the information
given for conventional oven cooking.
oMake sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before
cooking, unless the instructions on the food packaging advise
that you can “cook from frozen”.
oBefore cooking, check that any accessories that are not required
are removed from the oven.
oPlace cooking trays in the centre of the oven and leave gaps
between the trays to allow air to circulate.
oTry to open the door as little as possible to view the dishes.
oThe oven light will remain on during cooking.
Warnings
oKeep the oven door closed when using ALL oven functions,
including the grill function.
oDo not use aluminium foil to cover the enamelled baking tray or
heat items wrapped in aluminium foil under the grill. The high
reflectivity of the foil could potentially damage the grill element.
oYou should also never line the base of your oven with aluminium
foil.
oDuring cooking, never place pans or cookware directly onto the
bottom of your oven. They should always be placed on the shelf
provided.
oThe grill heating element becomes extremely hot during
operation, avoid touching it inadvertently when handling the
food which you are grilling.
oImportant: Be careful when opening the door, to avoid contact
with hot parts and steam.

19
Shelf positions
Your oven will come supplied with
the following oven furniture:
(A) Safety shelf
(B) Enamelled baking tray
oThe numbers 1 –4, indicate the different shelf positions that you
can utilise within the oven.
oYou should use the shelf position(s) that you find are best suited
to your personal cooking preferences.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning operations must only be carried out
when the oven is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your
mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
oThe oven should be thoroughly cleaned before it is operated for
the first time and after each use. This will avoid residual food
stuffs becoming baked on the oven cavity. After residues have
been baked on several times, they are far more difficult to
remove.
oNever clean the oven surfaces by steam cleaning.
oThe oven cavity should only be cleaned with warm soapy water,
using either a sponge or soft cloth. No abrasive cleaners should
be used.
oAny stains that may appear on the bottom of the oven will have
originated from food splashes or spilt food, these splashes occur
during the cooking process. These could possibly be a result of
the food being cooked at an excessively high temperature or
being placed in cookware that is too small.

20
oYou should make sure that the cooking temperature that is
selected is appropriate for the food that you are cooking. You
should also ensure that the food is placed in an adequately sized
dish and use the enamelled baking tray where appropriate.
oOuter parts of the oven should only be cleaned with warm soapy
water, using either a sponge or soft cloth. No abrasive cleaners
should be used.
oWe would recommend that an appropriate stainless steel cleaner
and polish is regularly used on the stainless steel surfaces of this
appliance.
oIf you use any form of oven cleaner on your appliance, then you
must check with the manufacturer of the cleaner that it is
suitable for use on your appliance.
oAny damage that is caused to the appliance by a cleaning
product will not be fixed by the manufacturer free of
charge, even if the appliance is within the guarantee
period.
Replacing the oven bulb
IMPORTANT: The oven must be disconnected from
your mains supply before you attempt to either
remove or replace the oven bulb.
oRemove the oven shelf and the drip tray.
oRemove the light cover by turning it anti-
clockwise.
oUnscrew the bulb clockwise and remove it from its
holder.
oReplace the bulb with a 25 W/300°C, screw type
pygmy.
oDo not use any other type of bulb.
oPlace the lamp cover back into position.
