• Alwaysuseovenglovestoremoveandreplacefood
in the oven.
• Thetemperaturesinsidetheovencanreach250°C.
Alwaysensurethat you are using oven proof baking
trays, oven dishes, etc.
• Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of
the oven and damage the oven enamel.
• Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated.
For the same reason, be careful when placing or
removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall
ontheovenbase.Ifthishappens,carefullycleanthe
oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.
Always cook with the oven door closed
Shelf Positions (Fig. 7)
The oven shelves can be placed at different heights to
obtain better cooking results. The levels are shown in
Fig. 7.
When food is heated, it produces steam which
cancondenseandproducewaterdroplets. This
is quite normal and is not caused by fault of the
oven. We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after all cookings.
To open the oven door, always catch
the handle in its central part (Fig. 5
and 6).
4. Using the Oven
3. When the oven is first installed
Once the oven has been installed:
a) set the thermostat knob to MAX;
b) switch the oven function control knob to
conventional cooking ( );
c) allow the oven to run empty for approximately
45 minutes;
d) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
Thisisabsolutely normal,andis caused by residues of
manufacturing.
The Fan Oven
(
)
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature.

air into the oven.
Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature.
If you need more heat from the bottom or from the top,
turn the oven function control knob to (top heating
element only) or (bottom heating element only).
If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven
atthesametime,placethe shelveson thefirstandthird
position from the bottom (See Fig. 7).
Ifyouarecooking only one dish in the fan oven, usethe
lower positions, as this will give you better results.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF
position (symbol : ●).
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air,atroomtemperature,insidetheoven.Thisincreases
the rate at which defrosting takes place.
Grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( or ) and set the thermostat knob on the
required temperature. With the setting , you will
obtain even heating on the whole surface of the dish.
