Thermal Grilling - This function offers an alterna-
tive metho of cooking foo items, normally
associate with conventional grilling. The grill
element an the oven fan operate together,
circulating hot air aroun the foo . Select a
maximum temperature o 200°C.
Baking Function - The top an bottom elements
heat the oven cavity an the fan circulates hot air
aroun your ishes. Best for baking cakes, biscuits
or brea .
Bottom heating element - The heat comes from
the bottom of the oven only, to allow you finish your
ishes.
Inner grill element only - can be use for grilling
small quantities.
Cooking Function Symbols
Fan cooking - This setting allows you to roast or
roast an bake simultaneously using any shelf,
without flavour transference.
Conventional cooking - The heat comes from

heating insi e the oven.
Full Grill - The full grill element will be on.
Recommen e for large quantities.
Pizza Oven - The bottom element provi es irect
heat to the base of pizzas, quiches or pies, while
the fan ensures air is circulate to cook the pizza
toppings or pie fillings.

Hints and Tips
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 discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cook are
 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 1 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes 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.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled
through vents between the oven door and the control
panel.
The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched off
to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.
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.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is quite normal.
1. Switch on the oven by pressing the "ON" push
button.
2. Press button twice. The pilot light to the left of
symbol will come on.
3. Set the temperature to 250°C using the "Increase"
button (push button ).
. Open a window for ventilation.
5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 5
minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the full grill
function and the fan oven function for
approximately 5-10 minutes.
Using the Oven
Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the oven door. Do
not allow it to fall open - support the door using
the door handle, until it is fully open.
 The oven has six shelf levels, counted from the
bottom, as shown in the diagram.
The anti-tip shelf has four small metal tabs on
its frame to prevent it from sliding out from the
shelf supports.
It is important that the shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
 Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.

The Fan Oven
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:
l 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.
l Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart
at page 18. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
l 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.
Ho to use the Fan Oven
1. Switch the oven on.
2. Press the Oven Function Control button once.
3. If necessary adjust temperature setting using
the "Increase" or "Decrease" buttons.
THINGS TO NOTE
l The oven light will come on when the oven is switched
on.
l 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 on at all at lower temperature settings nor run on
where the oven has only been used for a short time.

PRE-SET TEMPERATURE: 175°C
TEMPERATURE SELECTION: 50°C - 250°C
Hints and Tips
Runner positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spaced.
When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place
dishes centrally on the shelves rather than several dishes
on one shelf.
When the oven is full, you may need to allow a slightly
longer cooking time.
A 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.
When 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 or
types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes are cooked, they
will not necessarily be ready together.
The 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- 0 minutes (depending on the quantity
of food in the oven).
The 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.
The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate
or burner as this may cause the enamel to crack.
