Use of appliance
Before the First Use of the Oven
Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the oven, before using the oven.
Before first use, the oven should be heated
without food. During this time, an unpleasant
odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.
1. Remove the oven accessories.
2. Remove any adhesive labels or protective
films, if there are any.
3. Heat the oven the corresponding knob on
position “250” for about 45 min.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Clean the accessories with a soft detergent.
Rinse and dry carefully.
Rating Plate
The model number of your cooker can be found
on the rating plate on the lower front frame of the
cooker upon opening the door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is
given on the rating plate.
About 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.
Cookware
Use any ovenproof cookware, which will
withstand temperatures of 2500C.
Oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly on the oven base.
During cooking in the oven the oven
door is hot. Take care that children do not play
near it.
When using the oven the lid has to be
opened to avoid over-heating.
Electric oven
Oven Function Control Knob
Conventional cooking – used the top and
bottom element; this function will enable you to
use your favourite recipes without having to
adapt the temperatures. It is necessary to pre-
heat the oven in this instance.
Bottom oven element - enables you to
finish off dishes on the bottom only.
Top oven–element - enables you to
finish off dishes on the top only.
Grill - The grill cannot be used at the same
time as the oven. The oven door must be
closed when grilling.

Caution
Do not place pans, dripping pans, biscuits 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.
Thermostat Control Knob
By turning the oven control knob clockwise, you
select the cooking temperature.
Temperature selection starts at 50C and will
reach approximately 250 C at the centre of the
oven.
The thermostat controlling the temperature is
totally variable so it is possible to select
temperatures between those marked.
The maxim setting is particularly suitable for
grilling.
Things to note
•Once the oven temperature has been
selected, the oven thermostat pilot light will
come on and remain on until the oven has
reached the correct setting; after that, it will
go on and off with the thermostat, showing
how the temperature is being maintained.
•The oven light will come on when the oven
function control knob is set and lights
during the oven functioning.
Using the conventional oven
When using this setting, heat comes from both
the top and bottom elements. This allows you to
cook on a single level and is particularly suitable
for dishes which require extra base browning
such as quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes
and hotpots which require extra top browning
also cook well in the conventional oven.
How to use the conventional oven
Turn the oven function control knob to the
required cooking function
•Turn the thermostat control knob to the
required temperature.
Top oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing cooked
dishes, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie,
cauliflower cheese etc.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when blind-
baking pastry or cooking pizza. It may also be
used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the
base pastry is cooked through.

8
Oven thermostat pilot light
This light will illuminate when a temperature is
selected and remain lit until the selected
temperature has been reached. It then cycles on
and off to indicate that the temperature is being
maintained.
During use the appliance becomes hot.
Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements inside the oven.
Hints and Tips
There should always be at least 2.5 cm between
the top of the food and the element. This gives
the best cooking results and allows room for rise
in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings, etc. When
cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc., place
the tins or baking trays centrally below element.
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf
and there is sufficient room around the baking
tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.
Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to
prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help
reduce cleaning.
Enamelware, dark, or heavy utensils increase
base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished
steel trays reflect the heat away and give less
base browning.
DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven
base as it becomes very hot and damage may
occur.
DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking
tray as this will increase base browning of the
food.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a preheated oven.
Grilling
All grilling must be carried out with
the oven door closed .
To switch on the grill, turn the oven
function control knob to GRILL, then turn the
thermostat knob to the maximum temperature.
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.
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food.
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 with‘the ’rid in its 'high'
position.
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.
The food should be turned over during
cooking, as required.
NOTE: For safety in use, the grill element is
controlled by the thermostat. During
cooking, the grill cycles on and off to
prevent overheating.
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the
meat and not on its weight.
