USE OF OVEN

oven Controls

Oven function control knob
Turn the knob to the corresponding symbol of the desired cooking function. For the details of different functions see ´Oven Functions`.

Oven thermostat knob
After selecting a cooking function, turn this knob to set the desired temperature. The oven thermostat light will illuminate whenever the thermostat is in operation to heat up the oven or maintain the temperature.

Oven Functions

Oven Lamp: Only the oven light will switch on. It will remain on for the duration of the cooking function.

Defrost Function : The oven’s warning lights will switch on and the fan will start to operate. To use the defrost function, place your frozen food in the oven

on a shelf in the third slot from the bottom. It is recommended that you place an oven tray under the defrosting food to catch the water accumulated due to melting ice. This function will not cook or bake your food, it will only help to defrost it.

Static Cooking Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the lower and upper heating elements will start operating. The static cooking function emits heat, ensuring even cooking of food. This is ideal for making pastries, cakes, baked pasta, lasagne and pizza. Preheating the oven for 10 minutes is recommended and it is best to use only one shelf at a time in this function.

Fan Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the upper and lower heating elements and fan will start operating.
This function is good for baking pastry. Cooking is carried out by the lower and upper heating elements within the oven and by the fan, which provides air circulation, giving a slightly grilled effect to the food. It is recommended that you preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.

Lower Heating and Fan Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the lower heating element and fan will start operating. The fan and lower heating function is ideal for baking food, such as pizza, evenly in a short period of time. The fan evenly disperses the heat of the oven, while the lower heating element bakes the food. It is recommended that you preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.

Grilling Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the grill heating element will start operating. This function is used for grilling and toasting foods on the upper shelves of the oven. Lightly brush the wire grid with oil to stop food sticking and place food in the centre of the grid. Always place a tray beneath the food to catch any drips of oil or fat. It is recommended that you preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.

Warning: When grilling, the oven door must be closed and the oven temperature should be adjusted to 190°C.

Faster Grilling Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the grill and upper heating elements will start operating. This function is used for faster grilling and for grilling food with a larger surface area, such as meat. Use the upper shelves of the oven. Lightly brush the wire grid with oil to stop food sticking and place food in the centre of the grid. Always place a tray beneath the food to catch any drips of oil or fat. It is recommended that you preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.

Warning: When grilling, the oven door must be closed and the oven temperature should be adjusted to 190°C.

Double Grill and Fan Function: The oven’s thermostat and warning lights will switch on, and the grill, upper heating elements and fan will start operating. This function is used for faster grilling of thicker food and for grilling of food with a larger surface area. Both the upper heating elements and grill will be energised along with the fan to ensure even cooking. Use the upper shelves of the oven. Lightly brush the wire grid with oil to stop food sticking and place food in the centre of the grid. Always place a tray beneath the food to catch any drips of oil or fat. It is recommended that you preheat the oven for about 10 minutes.

Warning: When grilling, the oven door must be closed and the oven temperature should be adjusted to 190°C.

ACCESSORIES

The Wire Grid for Deep Trays
Make sure the wire grid is correctly placed within a deep tray. It is recommended to use this accessory for grilling steaks, meatballs and similar food.

The Deep Tray
The deep tray is best used for cooking stews.
Put the tray into any rack and push it to the end to make sure it is placed correctly.

The Wire Grid
The wire grid is best used for grilling or for processing food in oven- friendly containers.

WARNING Place the grid to any corresponding rack in the oven cavity correctly and push it to the end.

The Water Collector
In some cases of cooking, condensation may appear on the inner glass of the oven door. This is not a oven malfunction.
Open the oven door into the grilling position and leave it in this position for 20 seconds.
Water will drip to the collector.
Cool the oven and wipe the inside of the door with a dry towel. This procedure must be applied regularly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning
WARNING: Switch off the oven and allow it to cool before cleaning is to be carried out.

General Instructions

• Check whether the cleaning materials are appropriate and recommended by the manufacturer before use on your oven.
• Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners which do not contain particles. Do not use caustic (corrosive) creams, abrasive cleaning powders, rough wire wool or hard tools as they may damage the cooker surfaces.
• Do not use cleaners that contain particles as they may scratch the glass, enamelled and/or painted parts of your oven.
• Should any liquids overflow, clean them immediately to avoid parts becoming damaged.
• Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning any part of the oven.

Cleaning the Inside of the Oven

• The inside of enamelled ovens are best cleaned while the oven is warm.
• Wipe the oven with a soft cloth soaked in soapy water after each use. Then, wipe the oven over again with a wet cloth and dry it.
• You may need to use a liquid cleaning material occasionally to completely clean the oven.

Catalytic Cleaning
Catalytic liners are installed within the oven cavity. These are the matte- finished, light-coloured panels on the sides and/or the matte-finished panel at the rear of the oven. They work by collecting any grease and oil residue during cooking.

The liner self-cleans by absorbing fats and oils and burning them to ash, which can then be easily removed from the floor of the oven with a damp cloth. The lining must be porous to be effective. The liner may discolour with age.

If a large amount of fat is spilled onto the liner it may reduce its efficiency. To overcome this problem, set the oven to maximum temperature for about 20 – 30 minutes. After the oven has cooled, wipe out the floor of the oven.

Manual cleaning of the catalytic liners is not recommended. Damage will occur if a soap-impregnated steel wool pad or any other abrasives are used. In addition, we do not recommend the use of aerosol cleaners on the liners. The walls of a catalytic liner may become ineffective due to excess grease. The excess grease can be removed with a soft cloth or sponge soaked in hot water, and the cleaning cycle can be carried out as described above.

Removal of the Catalytic Liner
To remove the catalytic liner, remove the screws holding each catalytic panel to the oven.

Cleaning the Glass Parts

• Clean the glass parts of your oven on a regular basis.
• Use a glass cleaner to clean the inside and outside of the glass parts. Then, rinse and dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.

Cleaning the Stainless Steel Parts (if available)

• Clean the stainless steel parts of your oven on a regular basis.
• Wipe the stainless steel parts with a soft cloth soaked in only water. Then, dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.
• Do not clean the stainless steel parts while they are still hot from cooking.
• Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk, salt, water, lemon or tomato juice on the stainless steel for a long time.

Cleaning Painted Surfaces (if available)
Spots of tomato, tomato paste, ketchup, lemon, oil derivatives, milk, sugary foods, sugary drinks and coffee should be cleaned with a cloth dipped in warm water immediately. If these stains are not cleaned and allowed to dry on the surfaces they are on, they should NOT be rubbed with hard objects (pointed objects, steel and plastic scouring wires, surface-damaging dish sponge) or cleaning agents containing high levels of alcohol, stain removers, degreasers, surface abrasive chemicals. Otherwise, corrosion may occur on the powder painted surfaces, and stains may occur. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any damage caused by the use of inappropriate cleaning products or methods.

Removal of the Inner Glass
You must remove the oven door glass before cleaning, as shown below.

1. Push the glass in the direction of B and release from the location bracket (x). Pull the glass out in the direction of A.

To replace the inner glass:

1. Push the glass towards and under the location bracket (y), in the direction of B.
2. Place the glass under the location bracket (x) in the direction of C.

If the oven door is a triple glass oven door, the third glass layer can be removed the same way as the second glass layer.

Removal of the Oven Door
Before cleaning the oven door glass, you must remove the oven door, as shown below.

1. Open the oven door.
2. Open the locking catch (a) (with the aid of a screwdriver) up to the end position.
3. Close the door until it is almost in the fully closed position, and remove the door by pulling it towards you.
