IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual

in a safe place for future reference, along with the completed warranty card and purchase receipt. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.

Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention

measures when using an electrical appliance, including the following:

Important Installation Advice

• This oven must be installed by a licensed electrician.

• Adjacent furniture: When having the oven installed, make sure that the adjacent furniture or housing, and all installation materials, are able to withstand a minimum temperature of 85°C above the ambient room temperature while the oven is in use.

• Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture are particularly prone to heat damage or discolouration at temperatures below the guidelines given above. We assume no liability for any damage caused by the appliances being installed in contravention of this temperature limit, or by placing adjacent cabinet materials closer than 4mm near the appliance.

• Ventilation: Heat, steam and moisture will be created during use of the oven. Take care to avoid injury and ensure that the room is adequately ventilated. If the appliance is going to be used for prolonged periods of time, additional ventilation may be required. If in doubt about your ventilation requirements, consult your qualified installer.

• Cables: Do not allow electrical fittings or cables to come into contact with areas on the oven that get hot.

• Curtains: Do not install the oven next to curtains or soft furnishings.

• Damaged cord: If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified service engineer in order to avoid a hazard.

General Safety Instructions (Cont.)

• Do not use when faulty: Do not use the oven in the event of a technical fault. Any faults must be fixed by an appropriately qualified and authorised person. Contact our after sales support line for advice.

Oven-Specific Safety Advice

• Oven door: Do not place heavy objects on the oven door. Do not lean on the oven door when it is open, as this can damage the door hinges.

• Grill: Keep the oven door closed when using the grill function.

• Oven cavity: During cooking, never place pans or cookware directly onto the bottom of your oven. Always place them on the shelves provided.

• Oven accessories: When removing the baking/drip tray or oven rack from the hot oven, always use an oven mitt. If a temperature probe is included in the scope of delivery, only use the supplied probe.

• Aluminium foil: Do not use aluminium foil to cover the grill pan or heat items wrapped in aluminium foil under the grill. The high reflectivity of the foil could potentially damage the grill element. You should also never line the base of your oven with aluminium foil.

• Lifting/moving: Do not attempt to lift or move the oven by using the oven door or handle, as this may cause damage to the appliance or result in injury to the person lifting the appliance.

• Cleaning: Clean the oven on a regular basis so oils and fats do not accumulate and cause a fire risk. Make sure the oven is switched off before cleaning. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass as this can scratch the surface, which may result in the oven glass shattering. Do not use steam cleaning equipment for cleaning any part of the oven. When cleaning the oven, ensure that no part is immersed in water or other liquid.

CAUTION: HOT SURFACE!

This symbol indicates that the heating elements and other accessible parts inside the oven cavity become extremely hot during use and can cause burns on contact. Do not touch hot surfaces! Take care when handling the food you are cooking to avoid touching hot parts inadvertently. Keep young children well away during use.

• Opening the door: Be careful when opening the oven door to avoid contact with hot parts of the oven and steam.

• Danger of fire! Never leave items inside the oven cavity as this can be a fire hazard when the oven is switched on.

Getting Started

Before First Use

• Read: The best way to familiarise yourself with all the parts and operating principles of your new electric oven is to read this manual. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions on pages 5–7. Refer to pages 8–9 for a picture and list of all parts and buttons.

• Initial use: After the appliance has been properly installed, and before first use, you should burn off any dust, oil or other remnants that may have been left from the manufacturing process or transport.

First set the oven to manual operation mode (see opposite for instructions).

Then set the oven function to the “Intensive Bake” setting (see page 23) and the thermostat to 250°C. The two control dials just need to be pushed in slightly, they will then pop out and reveal the available function options or temperature settings.

Leave the oven on for 30–40 minutes. We recommend you leave the room during this burning off process. However, any smoke and odour development during this initial use is normal and completely harmless; ensure good ventilation.

• Clean: After the oven cavity has cooled, wipe the interior oven surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a little mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

• Wash: Remove and wash the oven rack and baking/drip tray with warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Dry and return to the oven. Leave the oven door open until it is completely dry.

CAUTION!

Take care to avoid burns, the oven becomes very hot during use.

Functions / Cooking Modes

Defrost: On this setting the fan runs without heat to reduce the defrosting time of frozen foods. It is particularly suitable for defrosting fruit and cakes. The time required for defrosting food will depend on the room temperature and the quantity and type of food. Always check food packaging for defrosting instructions.

Only the minute minder can be used with the defrost function. The other timer settings will not work with this function.

Conventional: This setting provides traditional oven heat from both the top and bottom elements and allows for cooking on one shelf only. It is suitable for roasting large cuts of meat, casseroles and baking sponge and other cakes.

Fan Bake: On this setting the bottom element is on together with the fan, which helps circulate the heat evenly throughout the oven chamber. This function is particularly suitable for cooking food that requires moderate surface heat, such as pizza, open fruit tarts or cheesecake. It is also suitable for sterilising and preserving jars.

Intensive Bake: This setting utilises conventional oven heat from the top and bottom elements in conjunction with the fan, which helps circulate the heat to achieve even baking results. It is particularly suitable for baking pastries and biscuits, or for cooking on two levels. This setting is also suitable for low temperature dehydrating fruit and vegetables.

Fan Grill: On this setting the top element is in use together with the fan, which helps provide a quick circulation of heat, resulting in evenly brown and crisp food. This function is suitable for small cuts of meat, where quick browning is required and sealing in juices, such as steaks, minced meat patties, sausages, chicken pieces and some vegetables etc. Keep the oven door closed during grilling.





Thermostat Control Dial

• Use the oven thermostat control dial to set the required temperature for cooking or baking in the oven. Push the dial in slightly, it will then pop out and reveal the available temperature settings, as illustrated in Fig. 9.

• Turn the control dial clockwise to the required temperature. It can be regulated within a range of 50–250°C.

Fig. 9

Heating Indicator Light

• This light will come on to indicate that the oven’s heating elements are in operation (Fig. 10). The light will turn off when the temperature set on the thermostat control dial has been reached. It will cycle on and off throughout the cooking time.

Fig.10

• Always wait until the oven has reached the set temperature before placing food inside the oven chamber.

Oven Fan

A tangential cooling fan is fitted inside this appliance to help stabilise the oven’s internal temperature and lower the external surface temperature. After the oven has been used, the cooling fan will run on for a period of time, until the oven is sufficiently cooled. It will then switch off automatically.




25


26

Using the Oven

• Before switching on: Before cooking, check that any accessories that are not required are removed from the oven and that only the baking tray and/ or the oven rack are positioned on the appropriate side rack support(s).

• Preheating: Always preheat the oven and wait until the oven operating light has gone off before placing food inside the oven chamber. You can choose not to preheat when using a fan oven mode; however, in such a case you may need to extend the given cooking time by approximately

10 minutes.

• Positioning food: Place cooking and baking dishes in the centre of the oven rack and leave gaps between dishes to allow air to circulate.

• Cooking temperatures and times: The cooking guidelines on the following pages give approximate times and temperatures for some foods that can be cooked in the oven. Use this information as a guide only and adjust according to your own experience and preference.

• Baking tins: Whenever possible, choose dark baking pans. Light ones reflect the heat and sometimes the cake will not be properly browned.

Place baking tins directly on the wire shelves.

• Roasting meat: Covering a roast or wrapping it in foil will preserve its juices and the oven will remain cleaner. However, the roast will cook faster in an uncovered pan.

• Grilling meat: Grilling is especially suitable for cooking sausages, steaks, chops and fish fillets, or for browning and crisping the skin of a roast.

Turn the meat over after half the grilling time has expired. Thinner slices will require only one turn, for larger chunks you might need to repeat the procedure. Always use barbecue tongs for turning meat.

• Packaged food: When cooking packaged food always refer to the package instructions for guidance on cooking temperatures, times and cooking modes. Once familiar with the performance of your electric oven, temperatures and times can be varied to suit personal preference.

• Frozen food: Always defrost frozen foods thoroughly before cooking, unless packet instructions specifically mention to “cook from frozen”.

• Condensation: Roasting large chunks of meat may produce excessive steam and condensation forming at the oven door. This is quite normal and does not affect the operation of the oven. At the end of cooking, wipe the oven door thoroughly and take the roast out of the oven to rest.

• Door opening: Do not open the oven door more often than required.

FAQs

If you experience problems with your oven, or it appears not to be operating correctly, check on the following pages for solutions to common problems. If none of the solutions offered help you solve your problem, please contact our after sales support centre for advice; contact details are printed at the bottom of the page.

Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

The oven isn’t coming on.

• Check that the oven is in manual operation mode.

• Check that you have selected a cooking function and a cooking temperature.

There appears to be no power to the oven and grill.

• Check that the appliance has been correctly connected to the electrical mains supply.

• Check your household fuse box, and if there is a blown fuse, replace it with a new one. If this problem happens again, call our after sales support line and arrange a service.

• Check that the operating instructions for setting the time of day and putting the appliance into manual operation mode have been followed.

The grill function works but the main oven does not.

• Check that you have selected the correct cooking function.

The grill and top oven element is not working, or cuts out for long periods of time during use.

• Allow the oven to cool for approximately 2 hours. Once cool, check whether the appliance is again working properly.

My food is not cooking properly.

• Ensure that you are selecting the correct temperature and cooking function for the food you are cooking. It may be appropriate to adjust your cooking temperature by +/-10°C to achieve the best cooking results.

My food is not cooking evenly.

• Check that the oven has been installed correctly and is level.

• Ensure that the correct temperatures and shelf positions are being used.

• Ensure that your dishes are placed centrally on the oven rack.

• Rotate the dish during cooking.

FAQs (Cont.)

The oven light is not working.

• Check whether the light bulb is loose and if so, tighten it.

• If the bulb is still not working, replace it with one of the same size and wattage (see the ‘Cleaning and Maintenance’ section).

I am getting condensation in my oven.

• Steam and condensation is a natural byproduct of cooking any food with a high water content, such as frozen food, chicken etc. It may form in the oven cavity and between the oven door glass layers. This is not necessarily a sign that the oven is not working correctly.

• Carefully wipe any built up condensation from the oven door after use.

• Leave the oven door open after cooking.

• Do not leave food in the oven to cool after it has been cooked and the oven has been switched off.

• Use a covered container, where practical, when cooking to reduce the amount of condensation that forms.

The fan keeps on running although the oven is switched off.

• A tangential cooling fan is fitted inside this appliance to help stabilise the oven’s internal temperature and lower the external surface temperature.

After the oven has been used, the cooling fan will run on for a period of time, until the oven is sufficiently cooled. It will then switch off automatically.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

In the event of an emergency, switch off all working units of the oven and call our after sales support line for advice

.




Other Useful Information

Cleaning and Maintenance

CAUTION!

• Before cleaning any part of the oven, make sure all oven controls are switched off and the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

• Never use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.

• Frequency: After each use, make sure to clean the oven thoroughly. This will prevent residual foodstuffs becoming baked on the oven chamber surfaces, which will make the residues more difficult to remove.

• Inside surfaces: Remove the oven rack and baking/drip tray from the oven before cleaning. Clean the oven cavity only with warm, soapy water, using either a sponge or soft cloth, then dry with a dry cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners, harsh detergents and hard or metal brushes on any oven surface.

• Bottom of the oven: Any stains that may appear on the bottom of the oven are probably due to spilled food or food splashes, which will have occurred during the cooking process. These spills and splashes could possibly be a result of the food being cooked at an excessively high temperature, or being placed in cookware that is too small.

To avoid such stains, make sure to select a cooking temperature and function that is appropriate for the food you are cooking. Also make sure to place the food in an adequately sized dish and to use the drip tray where appropriate.

• Fan cover: If you remove the fan cover for cleaning, make sure the oven is switched off before removing the cover and the cover is reinstalled after cleaning.

• Oven exterior: Clean the oven exterior with a wrung out soft cloth or sponge, dampened with warm soapy water. Do not any abrasive cleaners.

• Oven door: If the glass oven door is splattered with fat or other food residues, remove them with a cloth dampened in warm, soapy water. Then use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove any streaks. You can remove the door for thorough cleaning, if required; see the next page for instructions.

• Oven cleaners: If you use any form of oven cleaner on your appliance, you must check with the manufacturer of the cleaner that it is suitable for use on your appliance. Any damage caused to the appliance by a cleaning product will not be covered under your warranty.

Other Useful Information (Cont.)

Removing the Oven Door

To make cleaning easier, you can remove the oven door and the glass panel inside the door.

• Place some soft, padded material on the floor or benchtop.

• Open the oven door completely and raise the two locking latches (A) on the door hinges to release the hinges from the oven housing (Fig. 11).

• Grip the sides of the door at the centre, incline it slightly towards the oven cavity and then pull the door gently away from the oven cavity.

• IMPORTANT: Make sure that the door is supported at all times and that you place it on some padded material while cleaning it.

Fig. 11

A

• Clean the oven door and the glass panel only with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Make sure the cloth is clean and does not contain residues of other cleaning products.

• To refit the door, slide the hinges back into their slots (Fig. 12). Open the door fully. IMPORTANT: The locking latches (A) must be closed back into their original positions before closing the door (Fig. 13).

Fig.13





Removing the Door’s Glass Panel

While you have the oven door removed for cleaning, you may wish to remove the glass panel for cleaning. Proceed as follows:

• While the oven door is laying flat on a secure surface, remove the two screws at each side of the top of the door with a Phillips head screwdriver

(Fig. 14).

Fig. 14

• Gently pull the metal frame off the oven door (Fig. 15).

Fig. 15

• Grip the glass panel firmly and carefully pull it out of the frame.

• Place the glass panel on a soft, padded surface, clean the panel and wipe it dry with a clean, soft cloth.

• After cleaning, carefully slide the glass panel back into position, reattach the metal frame and secure on both sides with the screws.

Replacing the Oven Light Bulb

IMPORTANT!

To avoid the possibility of electric shock, make sure all oven controls are switched off before attempting to remove or replace the oven light bulb.

When the lamp in the oven fails and needs replacement, proceed as follows

(Fig. 16). (Bulb replacement is not covered by warranty.)

Fig.16

• Unscrew the protective lamp cover anticlockwise.

• Unscrew the bulb anticlockwise and carefully remove it from its holder.

• Replace the bulb with a new one of the same size and wattage (25W,

300°C, screw type pigmy). Do not use any other type of bulb.

• Screw the lamp cover back into position and then restore power to the appliance.

Other Repairs or Service Inspections

Besides keeping the oven clean, regularly inspect the control dials and heating elements. In case of damage, or if you experience any problems with the appliance, contact our after sales support line to arrange a technical inspection of the oven and fix any operational faults. Do not attempt to carry out any repairs yourself!
