Before the First Use
Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the oven, before using the
appliance.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is quite normal.
☞1. Set the end of cooking programmer to
manual function.
2. Switch the oven function control knob to
fan cooking .
3. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
4. Open a window for ventilation.
5. Allow the oven to run empty for
approximately 45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Using the Oven
•Always cook with the oven door closed.
• Stand clear when opening the drop down
oven door. Do not allow it to fall open -
support the door using the door handle,
until it is fully open.
• The oven has four shelf levels, and is
supplied with two shelves. The shelf
positions are counted from the bottom of
the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are
correctly positioned as shown in the
diagram. Shelf level 2 is fitted with
telescopic shelf supports (see next page).
• Do not place cookware directly on the
oven base.

NORMAL SHELF
ANTI-TIP SHELF
metal tabs
Your oven is supplied with one normal shelf for use
on the telescopic shelf supports and one anti-tip shelf. The anti-tip shelf has four small metal tabs on its frame to prevent it from sliding out from the shelf
supports.

10
Cookware
• Use any oven proof cookware which will
withstand temperatures of 250°C.
• Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be
placed directly against the grid covering the fan at
the back of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
• Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation
of heat and may affect performance.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the oven when opening the oven door to
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and
is not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
i
Hints andTips
Telescopic shelf supports
Shelf level 2 is fitted with telescopic shelf supports.
1. Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf
supports completely out, as shown in the
diagram.
2. Place the shelf or the grill pan on the
telescopic shelf supports, as shown in the
diagram, then gently push them all inside
the oven.
Do not attempt to close the oven door if the
telescopic shelf supports are not completely
inside the oven. This could damage the door
enamel and glass.
The anti-tip shelf is not designed for use on
the telescopic shelf supports.
Please, do not use the anti-tip shelf on the
telescopic shelf supports, as it will be
unstable and may fall.
☞
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat
to the food inside them.
AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and
bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and
underneath browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,
aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking
and underneath browning.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is
expelled through vents between the oven door and the
control panel, as shown in the diagram.
The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched
off to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.

11
Using the Fan Oven
The air inside the oven is heated by the element
around the fan situated behind the back panel. The
fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature
inside the oven.
The advantages of cooking with this function are:
✓Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not
usually necessary to preheat the oven although you
may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes
on cooking times. For recipes which require higher
temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven is
preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, souffles,
etc.
✓Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart at
page.12 or remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
✓Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner
positions. This means that batches of the same food
can be cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the top shelf may brown slightly quicker
that the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.
☞
How to Use the Fan Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required tempe-
rature.
THINGS TO NOTE
• The oven light will come on when the oven
function control knob is set.
• The oven fan will operate continually during
cooking.
• The thermostat control light will remain on until
the correct temperature is reached. It will then
cycle on and off to show the temperature is being
maintained.

Shelf
positions
are not
critical but
ensure that
oven
shelves are
evenly
spaced
when more
than one is
used.

13
Runner positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spread.
When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.
When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer cooking time.
A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven. Place
dishes on a shelf in this position rather than on the
oven base, to allow air circulation around the food.
When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal
trays of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich
cakes, then they will be cooked in the same time and
removed from the oven together. When different
sizes of trays or types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes
are cooked, they will not necessarily be ready
together.
The fan oven can be used to heat foods through
without thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies,
sausage rolls, and other small pastry items. Use a
temperature of 190-200°C and allow 20-40 minutes
(depending on the quantity of food in the oven).
The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommendations for oven
temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be
prepared to adjust the temperature by 10°C if
necessary. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own conventional recipes.
When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat
and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and
can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.
The meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.

Hints andTips

14
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This
increases the speed of defrosting. However, please
note that the temperature of the kitchen will influence
the speed of defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food
which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled
gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast
products.
☞
How to Use Defrosting
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the OFF
position.
Defrosting
• Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic
film to prevent drying out during defrosting.
• ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAWING.
• Frozen food should be placed in a single layer
when ever possible and turned over half way
through the defrosting process.
• Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.)
are suitable for defrosting in this way.
Refer to the following table for approximate
defrosting times.
i
Chicken 1000 g. 100-140 20-30 Place the chicken on an inverted
saucer on a large plate. Defrost open
and turn at half time or defrost
covered with foil. Remove giblets
as soon as possible.
Meat 1000 g. 100-140 20-30 Defrost open and turn at
half time or cover with foil

Grilling
Grilling must be carried out with the oven
door closed. The grill pan handles must be
removed from the pan.
☞
How to Use the Grill
1. Turn the oven control function knob on .
2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required
temperature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food. Position
the food close to the element for faster cooking
and further away for more gentle cooking.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes
before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat
setting and the shelf as necessary, during cooking.
During cooking, the cooling fan and the thermostat
control light will operate in the same way as
described for the fan oven function.
- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill
pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the
food out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish,
liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill
pan, if preferred
- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish
lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them
moist during cooking
- Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms
may be placed underneath the grid when grilling
meats
- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner
position is used.
- The food should be turned over during cooking, as
required.
The grill element is controlled by the thermostat.
During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to
prevent overheating.

How to Use the Inner Grill
Element
The inner grill provides quick direct heat to the
central area of the grill pan. By using the inner grill
element for cooking small quantities, it can help to
save energy.
1. Turn the oven control function knob on .
2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required
temperature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food and follow
the instructions for grilling.
☞
How to Use theThermal Grill
Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of
cooking food items normally associated with
conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven
fan operate alternately, circulating hot air around the
food. The need to check and turn the food is reduced.
Thermal grilling helps to minimize cooking smells in
the kitchen.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks, you can
thermally grill all the foods you would normally cook
under a conventional grill. Cooking is more gentle,
therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook
with thermal grilling compared with conventional
grilling. One of the advantages is that larger loads
can be cooked at the same time.
1. Turn the oven control function knob on .
2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required
temperature. Select a maximum temperature of
200°C.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food and follow
the instructions for grilling.

17
Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional
grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with little
oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking.
If thermally grilling on more than one level, it may be
necessary to interchange the food on the shelves
during cooking.
A general guide to cooking times is given below but
these times may vary slightly depending on the
thickness and quantity of food being cooked.

Before cleaning always allow the cooling
fan to cool the cooker down before
switching off at the electricity supply.
The oven should be kept clean at all times.
A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could
result in a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and
door seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm
water to which a little liquid detergent has been
added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
• Household detergent and bleaches
• Impegnated pads unsuitable for non-
stick saucepans
• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
• Chemical oven pads or aerosols
• Rust removers
• Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm
soapy water. Should the inner door glass become
heavily soiled it is recommended that a cleaning
product such as Hob Brite is used.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the
glass panels are warm. If this precaution is
not observed the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or
has deep scratches, the glass will be
weakened and must be replaced to prevent
the possibility of the panel shattering.
Contact your local Service Centre who will
be pleased to advise further.
Cleaning the Oven

19
Grease Filter
To prevent a build-up of fats on the fan impellor, the
grease filter must be fitted by clipping it over the
vents in the back panel. Do not use abrasive materials
to clean the seal. The grease filter is dishwasher
proof.
To clean the grease filter
When cooking is completed and the oven has cooled
down, remove the filter by pushing the protruding
tongue on the filter upward, and wash carefully.
Remember to refit the filter before using the oven
again. FO 0018
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water after each use. From time to time it will
be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.
If the soilage has become set, after the oven has
cooled down, the following process will help to
soften the splatters to help make cleaning easier.
☞1. Place the grill/ meat pan on the oven shelf
positioned in the lowest runner.
2. Add a few drops of wasing-up liquid to the
pan and fill to about 12 mm. with boiling
water from the kettle.
3. Close the oven door, turn the oven function
knob on fan oven and set the thermostat
knob on 50°C.
4. After 15 minutes, turn off the thermostat
and allow the fan oven to continue without
heat for a further 5 minutes, when the
temperature of the water will have cooled
down.
5. Carefully remove the pan of water from the
oven and use normal oven cleaners to clean
away soil residues.
6. Leave a little of soapy water to soak into
any burned on spillage on the floor of the
oven for a longer time if necessary.
Oven Shelves
To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water
and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap
impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft
cloth.The shelf supports can be removed for easy
cleaning (see diagram). Please, ensure the retaining
nuts are secure when refitting the shelf support.
