the power indicator light will come on.
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.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN (top and lower element): This method
of cooking provides traditional cooking, with heat from the top and
lower elements. This function is suitable for roasting and baking on
one shelf only.

FAN AND LOWER ELEMENT: This method of cooking utilises the
bottom element in conjunction with the fan, which helps to circulate
the heat. This function is suitable for sterilizing and preserving jars.
CONVECTION OVEN AND FAN: This method of cooking provides
traditional cooking with heat from the top and the lower element, it
also utilises the circulation fan. This ensures a fast and even
distribution of the heat. Suitable for light and delicate baking, such
as pastries.
FAN AND GRILL: This method of cooking utilises the top element
in conjunction with the fan, which helps to provide a quick
circulation of heat. This function is suitable where quick browning is
required and “sealing” the juices in, such as steaks, hamburgers,
some vegetables etc.

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.
oIMPORTANT: You should pre-heat the oven if you are baking no
matter what oven function you are using.

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.

Warnings
oKeep the oven door closed when using any of the cooking
functions, including the grill functions.
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 shelves
provided.
oThe grill heating element and other internal components of the oven
become extremely hot during operation, avoid touching them
inadvertently when handling the food which you are grilling.
oImportant: Be careful when opening the door, to avoid contact
with hot parts of the oven and steam.
oThe baking tray handle should not be left in position when the
appliance is switched on.
oWhen removing the baking tray, you should ALWAYS use an oven
glove.

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.

oYou should select a cooking temperature that is appropriate for
the food that you are cooking. You should also ensure that the
food is placed in an adequately sized dish and that you 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 Venini 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 all oven shelves and baking trays.
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.
