Using the Oven
Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the oven door.
The oven has four shelf levels, counted from the
bottom, as shown in the diagram. Your oven is
supplied with two anti-tip shelves.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Shelf level 2 is fitted with telescopic shelf supports.
Do not lace cookware directly on the oven
base.

Before the First Use
Remove all packaging, both inside and outside
the oven, before using the oven.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without food.
uring this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is quite normal.
The oven will work only if the time of day has
been set.
1. Set the time of day with the electronic programmer
(see chapter "Electronic Programmer").
2. Switch the oven function control knob to conventional
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 and the fan cooking function for approximately
5-10 minutes.
The 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.
FO 2259

9
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 o ening 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 discolouration, 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.
 o 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.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
ishes 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 base browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
Hints and Tips
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.

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 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.
FHow 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 tempera-
ture.
THINGS TO NOTE
l The oven light will come on when the oven function
control knob is set.
l The 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.
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.
The Cooling Fan
 The 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.
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.
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.
