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. Switch the oven function control knob to conventional
cooking .
2. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
3. Open a window for ventilation.
4. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes.
5. Half way through, reset the oven function control to fan
cooking .
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Shelf supports
 The oven has four shelf levels. 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.
Before the First Use
Using the O en
To open the oven
door, always catch
the handle in its
central part
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.
 Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.
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 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.

When using this setting, heat comes from both the top
and bottom elements. This allows you to cook in a single
level and is particularly suitable for dishes which require
extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans.
Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top
browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This
form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without
the fan in operation.
How to Use the
Conventional Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to the required
cooking function   .
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required temperatu-
re.
Top oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, eg;
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.
T INGS TO NOTE
lThe oven light will come on when the oven function
control knob is set.
lThe cooling fan will operate continually during cooking.
It may run on after the oven is switched off to keep the
controls cool. This is quite normal.
lThe thermostat control light will remain on until the
correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on
and off to show that temperature is being maintained.
NOTE
The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the
oven has been used and at what temperature. It may not
switch in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on
where the oven has only been used for a short time.
Using the Con entional O en
Hints and Tips
The middle shelf position allows for the best heat
distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the
shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf
position.
The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes
used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy
or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven
glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect
the heat away and give less base browning.
Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even
browning.
Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent
spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning
easier.
Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the
oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.
For faster preheating use the fan oven function to preheat
the oven until the oven indicator neon goes out, then swich
the selector to the conventional oven setting.
Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more
than one level cooking use the fan oven function.

Cooling fan
The purpose of the fan is to cool the control panel, the
knobs and the oven door handle. The air stream flows
out between the control panel and the oven door handle.
To ensure proper cooling, the fan will continue to operate
even after the oven is turned off, until normal temperature
levels have been reached.

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. 11 or remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
How to use the Fan Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .

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 than the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.

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 tem-
perature 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.
 Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.
 ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWI G.
 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.

Hints and Tips
lRunner positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spread.
lWhen cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.
lWhen the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer cooking time.
lA 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.
lWhen 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
Hints and Tips or types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes are cooked,
they will not necessarily be ready together.
lThe 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).
lThe 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.
lThe meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate or burner as this may cause the enamel to
crack.
