Before using the oven for the first time
To open the oven door, always hold
the handle in the centre.
Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the oven, before using the oven.
Before using for the first time, the oven should be
heated up without food.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is absolutely normal. It is caused by
manufacturing residues.
Ensure the room is well ventilated.
1. Switch the oven function control knob
to conventional cooking .
2. Set the thermostat control knob to
250°C.
4. Open a window for ventilation.
5. Allow the oven to run empty for ap-
proximately 45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the full
grill function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

SafetyThermostat
To prevent dangerous overheating (through
incorrect use of the appliance or defective
components), the oven is fitted with a safety
thermostat,whichinterrupts thepowersupply.The

Then let the oven cool down. Then
dampen a soft cloth with warm water and
a little mild washing-up liquid and use this
to clean the oven cavity.
Before using for the first time, carefully
wash the oven accessories as well.
The cooling fan
The oven is provided with a cooling fan, meant to
keep the front panel, the knobs and the oven door
handle cool.The fan switches on automatically
when the oven is activated. Warm air is blown out
through the aperture near the oven door handle.
The fan switches off when, after cooking, the oven
function control knob is set to OFF position 0.

Using the oven
The oven is supplied with an exclusive system
which produces a natural circulation of air and the
constant recycling of steam.
This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy
environment and keep the dishes soft inside and
crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and
energy consumption are reduced to a minimum.
During cooking steam may be produced which
can be released when opening the oven door.
This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back from the oven
when opening the oven door during
cooking or at the end of it to allow any build
up of steam or heat to release.
Attention! - Do not place objects on the
oven base and do not cover any part of
the oven with aluminium foil while cooking,
as this could cause a heat build-up which
would affect the baking results and damage
the oven enamel. Always place pans,
heat-resisting pans and aluminium trays
on the shelf which has been inserted in the
shelf runners.When food is heated, steam
is created, like in a kettle. When the steam
comes into contact with the glass in the
oven door, it condenses and creates water
droplets.
To reduce condensation, always preheat the
empty oven for 10 minutes.
We recommend you wipe the water droplets away
after every cooking process.
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.
Conventional Cooking
- 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.

The oven has four shelf levels, and is
supplied with one shelf. 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.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
