OVEN FUNCTIONS

| LIGHT| Internal oven light.
---|---|---

| CONVENTIONAL HEAT| Both the lower and upper heating elements operate together. This is the traditional cooking method, perfect for roasting joints, cooking pastry and baking cakes.

| 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.
| TURBO BASE HEAT| Both the fan and the lower heating element operate together. The air which is heated by the lower heating element is circulated by the fan helping to distribute the heat. This function can be used for sterilizing glass jars.
|

ECO GRILL

| This function can be used for grilling and gratinating small quantities of food. This function can be used with the door closed.
| FULL 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.

| TURBO
CONVENTIONAL HEAT| This function uses both top and bottom heating elements simultaneously. The heat produced by these is then circulated around the oven by the fan to help distribute the heat more evenly.

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.
› This same light will appear again automatically during the operation of the oven to indicate that the heating elements are on.
› Remove the drip tray when using the oven for conventional 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.
› If the fan heat operation is selected, different foods can be cooked simultaneously (e.g. meat and fish), although in this case the respective cooking time must be observed.

REMOVING THE GLASS PANELS

The oven door is made up of 2 panes of glass with vents at the top and bottom. When the oven is operating, air is circulated through the door to keep the outer pane cool. 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 from the oven (see ‘Removing the door’) 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.

Press the button (A) on left and right side of door, take out top rail. (Fig.1)
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.
