Using the oven
Operation
1) Oven Function Knob
Description of each oven function (mode)
Lamp “ ”
The lamp of the oven is on. No heating elements are on.
Conventional cooking / no fan (uses hidden bottom element) “ ”
Suitable for cakes, biscuits, slow cooking and ideal for blind baking. Good for slow cooking at lower tempeartures (below 150 degrees celsius).
Do not use lowest shelf position as base of food can burn as it is close to the element.
Bottom Element with Fan (Pizza) Cooking “ ”
The bottom heating element and the fan come on. Suitable for pastries, pizzas, cakes and puddings in baking tins or moulds
Do not use lowest shelf position
Fan-forced Cooking “ ”
The rear circular heating element and the fan come on to make heat distributed more uniformly throughout the oven. Ideal for cooking on more than one level at a time.
This mode is ideal for general purpose cooking such as baking cakes, muffins and roasting meat. Cooki on multiple shelf positions at the same time.
Defrosting Mode “ ”
Only the fan operates. It is located on the back of the oven, causing makes the air to circulate at room temperature around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in particular for delicate types of food which do not require subsequent cooking, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using this mode, the defrosting time is approximately halved.
2) Oven Temperature (thermostat) Knob
• Selection of cooking temperature is carried out by turning the knob clockwise to the required temperature, between 60ºC to MAX.
• If the appliance is electric the “oven indicator lamp” will come on when the oven is heating up. When it goes out it means that it reaches the required temperature. The oven indicator lamp going ‘on & off’ during use is then normal. This means that oven temperature is being constantly maintained at the selected level.
3) Set Cooking Time
■ 120 Minute Ringer Timer with “Oven ON/OFF”
• Operating oven without Timer - Turn knob counterclockwise to “ ” symbol. The oven will operate with use of the timer function.
• Operating oven using the Timer - To set the timer, simply turn the knob clockwise to the required number of minutes. The timer will automatically shut down the oven after the set minutes and the timer will ring at the same time.
■ Programmable Clock (some models only)

Fitting oven accessories and cleaning
Safety warnings about cleaning
• Always make sure that the cooker is turned off before cleaning.
• Always clean cooker immediately after use.
• Use of steam cleaners is prohibited to clean this appliance.
• Do not use caustic - based cleaners. These will damage aluminum parts, and remove enamel gloss.
Cleaning the enamel
• Keep enamel clean by wiping it with a soft cloth dipped in warm soapy water.
• Rub difficult stains with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleanser.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, dry powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes.
• If you use an oven cleaner, then follow the instructions on the product carefully
Cleaning the control panel
• Make sure control knobs are in off position.
• Clean the control panel by wiping it with a soft cloth dipped in warm soapy water and squeezed dry.
• Take care when cleaning around knobs to ensure printing on control panel is not removed, this can occur if abrasive cleaners are used, therefore, should not used at all.
Cleaning the electric cook top
Radiant hotplates
These coiled hotplates are self cleaning. To clean the trim rings, lift front of element and remove trim ring. Then wash in warm, soapy water. To clean the spillage bowl, lift element and pull out of socket. Remove spillage bowl and wash in warm soapy water
DO NOT PUT ELEMENTS IN WATER!
Solid hotplates
• For normal cleaning use a moist cloth.
• For very dirty hotplates use any commercial cleanser.
• After cleaning, remove any cleanser remaining and dry the hotplate completely by running the element for a short period.
• Over time, the hotplates can discolour from spills during cooking. We recommend to use Hillmark ‘Shine On’ hotplate protector, on a regular basis to extend the life of the hotplates and reduce the risk of rusting as this forms a protective waterproof coating on the hotplates..
• Permanent heat- discolouration of the trim ring is normal.
Ceramic hotplates
• Remove all spilt food with the razor blade scraper supplied while the hotplate is still warm turned off) – NOT HOT.
• If aluminium foil, plastic items or foods with a high sugar content melt onto glass, use the razor blade scraper to remove immediately before the hotplate has cooled, otherwise pitting of the surface may occur. High sugar content foods include jam, fruit, carrots, tomatoes and peas.
• When the ceramic hotplate has cooled, wipe clean with dishwashing detergent on a damp cloth.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, oven sprays or stain removers on ceramic hotplates. These may damage, scratch or stain the ceramic cook top. Any pitting, staining or scratching will not be covered by warranty.
Cleaning the Gas Hob
Removing the trivets (Refer Figure 1)
• The trivets locate in the recessed area of the hob.
• They can be removed for cleaning by carefully lifting them from the hob.
• Clean by washing in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly.
• Take care when replacing the trivets as dropping them onto the hob may damage the enamelled surface.
Removing the burner parts (Refer Figure 2)
• The burner caps and crowns are removable for cleaning.
• Flame port blockage should be removed by means of a match stick or brush.
• If the caps, crowns and cups are heavily soiled, use a non-abrasive cleaning compound.
• Do not clean them with abrasive or caustic type cleaners, or put in a dishwasher as they will be damaged.
Refitting the burner crowns and caps
• The burner crown must be fitted correctly into the burner cup or damage will occur during operation.
• To do this, ensure that the 2 ribs on either side of the spark plug hole are positioned into the 2 slots on the burner cup. (See figure 2).
• The burner cap is simply positioned over the top of the burner crown.
NOTE: When the burner is correctly fitted it will sit level on the hob.
If ignition is difficult or fails after cleaning, or the flames are not even around the burner, then either burner parts are not dry / parts have not been positioned correctly or incorrect cap is fitted.
Cleaning the grill compartment
• Lift the enamelled grill tray out.
• Clean the sides an bottom of compartment with hot soapy water.
If stronger action is needed use a non abrasive cleaner applied with a nylon scourer.
Cleaning the Oven
• Open the door fully.
• Remove oven shelves and side racks.
• Clean in hot soapy water.
• Thoroughly dry with a soft cloth to remove excess water that may be present.
Cleaning the oven door / How to remove the oven doors
For a more thorough clean, you can remove and disassemble the oven door. Proceed as follows:
• Open the door to the full extent (fig. 1)
• Open the lever A completely on the left and right hinges (fig. 2)
• Hold the door as shown in (fig. 3) approximatley 30 degree angle upwards
• Gently close the door (fig. 3) until left and right hinge levers A (fig. 2) are hooked to part B (fig. 2) of the door
• Withdraw the hinge hooks from their location following arrow C (fig. 4)
• Rest the door on a soft surface, to reduce risk of damage to the door
• To replace the door, repeat the above steps in reverse order
Removing the Inner Pane of Glass
• Triple Glazed oven door: Remove the top frame (G) by unscrewing the 2 screws, located on the left and right sides
• Gently pull out the inner pane of glass (fig. 2). Also remove the centre pane of door glass, not shown here.
• Clean the glass panes with an appropriate cleaner. Dry thoroughly, and place on a soft surface.
• Now you can also clean the inside of the outer glass.
Cleaning the door glass
• Clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
• Do not use the oven without the inner door panes fitted correctly. When re-fitting inner glass door panes ensure they go back in facing the same way they came out. The doors are coated with a very slight reflective coating to reflect the heat back into the oven cavity and keep the outer door cooler to touch.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
Replacing the Oven Lamp
• Disconnect the oven from the power supply at the fuse-box by means of the switch used to connect the appliance to the electrical mains or unplug the appliance if a gas model.
• Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder by rotating anti-clockwise. Be aware that the glass may be difficult to remove if there is a build up of oil and grease created during cooking. In this case the glass may need to be cleaned with hot soapy water to break this build up.
• Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to high temperatures (300ºC) with the following characteristics:
• Voltage: 220-240V
• Wattage: 25W
• Type: E 14 Replace the glass cover.
Reconnect the appliance to the mains power supply
