Note: Always pre-heat the oven to the required temperature before cooking.

any heat) enabling  quicker thawing of frozen food.
Use to defrost food only.
| Convection heating: A fan with a ring heating element on the back of the oven ensures that the heated air is distributed evenly. You can bake cakes, pizza, biscuits, small cakes and puff  pastry on two levels at the same time.
| Eco: Energy-saving cooking mode where the fan distributes the heated air around the food that is emitted from the top and rear heating elements.
Note: The oven light will not operate when this function is selected.
Best suited for small amounts of food that are best cooked gentle; bakes, meat dishes, vegetables, frozen pizza and biscuits. Not suitable for cakes and large amount of food.
| Single grill with fan: The fan distributes the heated air around the food. Hot air grilling is particularly suitable for grilling fish, poultry and larger pieces of meat.
| Single grill: Part of the area below the grill heating element becomes hot. The inner grill element is on. Can be used to grill a small number of burgers, sausages fish or bread.

Temperature dial
Use the temperature dial to set the required temperature for the oven. The dial has to be rotated clockwise to set the required temperature.
The temperature can set between 50ºC and 250ºC.
The small light next to the temperature dial will be lit when the oven is heating. It goes out during pauses in the heating or when the oven reaches the required temperature. The oven function dial will also need to be adjusted; turning the temperature dial alone will not make the oven heat up.
Note: The dial must be put in the off position after each use.

The oven cavity

• The oven light is located in the cooking compartment. During oven operation, the oven light is on. By turning the function selector to any position, the oven light can also be switched on without the oven heating up.
• A cooling fan protects the oven from overheating.
• The cooling fan switches on and off as required. The hot air escapes above the door.
• So that the cooking compartment cools down more quickly after operation, the cooling fan continues to run for a certain period afterwards.
• There are side support racks affixed to the compartment that accessories such as the wire shelf baking tray, etc. can be inserted in to.
• The coating of the oven cavity is enamel.
• Before you use the accessories for the first time, clean them with hot soapy water and a soft dish cloth.
• Clean all accessories by hand, do not clean in the dishwasher.

Warnings:

• When it is first used, it is normal for the oven to give off odours; this does not pose any risk and does not indicate a malfunction; they will disappear in time.

Energy saving
The following advice is to help you save energy:

• Only preheat the oven if this is specified in the recipe
• Open the oven door as infrequently as possible
• Use black enamelled baking trays, tins, etc. as they absorb the heat well.
• If you need to cook, bake or roast a number of different foods then it is best to do this one after the other. The oven will be at temperature, reducing the need to pre-heat the oven again.
• Cook more than 1 item at a time using the different accessories provided.

Accessories
Warning:

• Correct placement of the shelves in the side racks is imperative. This will ensure that food does not fall off or slide out when in the oven or being carefully removed from the oven.
• Ensure that you always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment the right way round.
• Shelves and the universal tray only must be placed and used between the 1 & 5 position

• NEVER place the universal tray or a baking tray on the bottom of the oven cavity as this may lead to overheating, damage and potentially fire.

The accessories can be inserted in the oven at 5 different levels. Always insert the accessories as far as they can go to ensure that they do not touch the door glass.

Wire Rack

Place the wire insert in the universal tray with the legs facing downwards. This ensures that dripping fat and meat juices are collected.

Wire Shelf
For ovenware, cake tins, roasts, grilling and frozen meals. Slide the wire rack into the oven with the raised part at the back and at the top.

Universal Tray
For cooking large quantities of food such as cakes, pastries, frozen food, etc. Can also be used under the wire rack to catch fat when grilling. Slide the baking tray into the oven with the sloping edge facing towards the oven door.

cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces in the direction of the grain only.
Special stainless steel cleaning products are available from specialist retailers. Apply a very thin layer of the cleaning product with a soft cloth.
Painted surfaces| Hot soapy water: Clean using a damp dish cloth and dry with a soft cloth/towel. Do not use any stainless steel cleaners.
Aluminium and plastic| Glass cleaner: Clean with a soft cloth.
Glass| Glass cleaner: Clean with a soft cloth. Do not use a glass scraper.
Enamel| Clean with some washing-up liquid and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth.

How to clean:

• After each use, clean all surfaces once they have cooled down. If any residue is left (baked-on food, drops of grease etc.), however little, will become stuck to the surface and more difficult to remove later.
• Always clean off any liquid as soon as it is spilt: you will save yourself any unnecessary effort.
• Where possible, do not allow salt to come into contact with the surfaces of the appliance.

Causes of damage:

• Accessories, foil, greaseproof paper or ovenware on the cooking compartment floor: Do not place accessories on the cooking compartment floor. Do not cover the cooking compartment floor with any sort of foil or greaseproof paper. Do not place ovenware on the cooking compartment floor if a temperature of over 50ºC has been set. This will cause heat to accumulate.
  The baking and roasting times will no longer be correct and the enamel will be damaged.

• Water in a hot cooking compartment: Do not pour water into the cooking compartment when it is hot. This will cause steam. The temperature change can cause damage to the enamel.

• Moist food: Do not store moist food in the cooking compartment when it is closed for prolonged periods. This will damage the enamel.

• Fruit juice: When baking particularly juicy fruit pies, do not pack the baking tray too generously. Fruit juice dripping from the baking tray leaves stains that cannot be removed. If possible, use the deeper universal pan.

• Cooling with the appliance door open: Only allow the cooking compartment to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.

• Very dirty door seal: If the door seal is very dirty, the appliance door will no longer close properly when the appliance is in use. The fronts of adjacent units could be damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.

• Never use the appliance door as a seat, shelf or worktop: Do not sit on the appliance door, or place or hang anything on it. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.

• Inserting accessories: accessories can scratch the door panel when closing the appliance door. Always insert the accessories into the cooking compartment as far as they will go.

Note: the oven lamp is located at the top right on the back of the oven.

1. Switch off the circuit breaker of the unit’s mains outlet or fuse box.
2. Place a tea towel in the oven when it is cold to prevent damage.
3. Unscrew the glass cover by turning it anti-clockwise.
4. Replace the bulb with one of the same type.
5. Screw the glass cover back in.
6. Remove the tea towel and switch on the circuit breaker.

Removing the Side Racks
The side racks in the oven cavity can be removed for deep cleaning. Follow the below steps (ensure the oven & side racks are cold and not hot):

1. Unscrew the small screw at the base of the side support racks.
2. Carefully hold the side rack at its front (near where it is inserted into the oven cavity) and pull it away from the cavity.
3. The rack will still be attached to the oven cavity at the back and to remove it fully from the oven cavity simply pull it out and away from where it is inserted in to the cavity.
4. Clean the rack(s) and allow to fully dry before reinserting them by reversing steps 1 & 2.
5. Ensure that the racks are in the correct way – with the small dip on the door side.
