INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT:
ISOLATE YOUR OVEN FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING INSTALLATION OR MAINTENANCE.

Installation should be carried out according to the instructions by a professionally qualified person only.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to persons, animals, or materials due to incorrect installation.

FITTING THE APPLIANCE:
Fit the appliance into its surround (beneath a worktop or above another appliance in a tall housing) by inserting screws and plastic covers into the 2 holes (A – fig.3) that can be seen in the frame of the oven when the door is open.

For the most efficient air circulation, the oven should be fitted according to the dimensions shown in fig. 1 & 2.

The rear panel of the cabinet must be removed so that air can circulate freely. The panel to which the oven is fitted should have a gap of at least 70 mm at the rear for ventilation (fig.4 & fig.5).
See below for full dimensional drawings of your oven to help with installation.
For a built-in oven to work well the cabinet must be of the right type.
The panels of the adjoining furniture should be heat resistant. Particularly when the adjoining furniture is made of veneered wood, the adhesives should be able to withstand a temperature of 120ºC. Plastic materials or adhesive which cannot withstand this temperature may become deformed or unstuck.
To comply with safety regulations, once the appliance has been fitted it should not be possible to make contact with the electrical parts.
All parts which offer protection should be fixed in such a way that they cannot be removed without the use of a tool.

OVEN DIMENSIONS

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Check that the power rating of the mains supply is suitable for the maximum power of the appliance as indicated on the rating label.

The fuse rating for this appliance is 13amp.

The appliance is supplied with a mains lead it should be “Hard wired” as follows:

• The “yellow/green” earth wire, which must be connected to a terminal, and has to be about 10mm longer than the other wire.
• The neutral wire has to be connected to the terminal marked with a letter N.
• The Live wire should only be connected to the terminal marked L.

Mains connection can also be made by fitting a double pole switch with a minimum gap between the contacts of 3mm, proportionate to the load and complying with the regulations in force.

The yellow/green earth wire should not be controlled by the switch.
When a double pole switch is used for mains supply connection it should be easily accessed, once the appliance is in position.

IMPORTANT:
The mains supply cable should be positioned so that it is never subjected to temperatures which are more than 50ºC above ambient temperature.

The electrical safety of the appliance can only be guaranteed when it has been correctly connected to a properly earthed mains electrical supply, as laid down in the current regulations for electrical safety.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage to persons or objects due to lack of an earth connection.

The ovens are designed to operate with a mono-phase alternating current of 220-240V, 50Hz.

Before the installation of the appliance, check the specifications on the rating label.

USING YOUR OVEN

CONTROL PANEL:

• Minute minder knob
• Function control knob
• Temperature control knob
• Temperature indicator light

COOKING GUIDELINES

• Set the function for the type of cooking required.
• Preheat the oven, setting the thermostat to the required temperature. Once the oven has heated to the selected temperature, the orange temperature indicator light will go out. You can now insert the food.
• This same light will appear again automatically during operation of the oven to indicate that the heating elements are on.

NOTE:
Remove the drip tray when using the oven for fan cooking, roasting, etc. The tray should be left in place only when using the grill, as its purpose is to catch falling droplets of fat. Food should be placed in oven dishes with raised edges and positioned centrally under the grill.

OVEN FUNCTIONS

| LIGHT| Internal oven light.
---|---|---
| TURBO DEFROST| The air at ambient temperature is distributed inside the oven to speed up defrosting time.
| FAN HEAT| Both the fan and the circular heating element operate together. The fan evenly distributes the hot air (between 50°C and MAX) inside the oven. This is ideal for cooking several types of food e.g. meat and fish, at the same time without affecting taste and smell. It is also ideal for delicate pastries.
| GRILL| This function can be used for grilling and gratinating food. When grilling, the oven door must be closed.
| TURBO GRILL| This function can be used for grilling and gratinating food quicker than other grill functions. When grilling, the oven door must be closed.

MINUTE MINDER

To set the Minute minder, turn the Minute minder knob clockwise to set the required time.

If condensation has worked its way in between the glass panes, the door can be dismantled in order to clean in between the panes.

Remove the door as per above instructions below and place it on a protective surface (e.g. on a table cloth) to prevent it getting scratched. The door handle should line up with the edge of the table. Make sure the glass lies flat to avoid breaking the glass during cleaning.

1. Press the button (A) on left and right side of door, take out top rail. (Fig.1)
2. Take out inner glass slowly, following the direction of the arrow (B) then (C) (Fig.2)

Clean the glass panes and other parts with a damp microfibre cloth. or a clean sponge and a solution of hot water with a little washing-up liquid. Wipe dry using a soft cloth and re-assemble following the above instructions in reverse.
