Function 11

Pyrolytic cleaning

The“Pyrolyticcleaning”functionisusedforcleaning

the main oven. It cleans by burning off the spatters and

accumulated dirt and grease from the oven liner, at high

temperature. This process produces ash which can be

wiped out of the oven cavity.

Cooling/Venting fan

Yourbuilt-inapplianceisfittedwithacoolingfan.

This prevents your kitchen cabinet from overheating and

reduces the condensation inside the oven. It will operate

whenever you are using your oven or grill and will blow

warm air across the top of the oven door.

NOTE: If the oven is still hot from cooking, the cooling fan

will keep running to cool the oven down and will switch off

automatically when cool.

Condensation

excesscondensationmayfogtheovendoor.Thismay

happen when you are cooking large quantities of food

from a cold start. You can minimize condensation by:

•Keepingtheamountofwaterusedwhilstcooking

to a minimum.

•makingsurethattheovendoorisfirmlyclosed.

•Bakingcustardinabakingdishthatisslightly

smaller than the water container.

•Cookingcasseroleswiththelidon.

NOTE: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn

to steam and may condense outside your appliance.

This is not a problem or fault with your oven.

Operating your oven temperature selector

Athermostatcontrolsthetemperatureinyourappliance.

The temperature can be selected within the specified range.

To set the temperature, turn the temperature selector in

aclockwisedirectiontothedesiredsetting.Anindicator

light above the temperature selector will come on. When

the temperature is reached, the heating source switches

itself off and the indicator light goes out. When the oven

temperature falls below the desired setting, the heating

source switches on and the indicator light comes on again.

Once the food is cooked, turn the temperature selector

backinananti-clockwisedirection.Donotforceitright

round in a clockwise direction as this will result in damage

to the thermostat.

NOTE: For multifunction ovens the desired cooking function

must be selected before the oven will operate. Once the

desired function has been selected, use the temperature

selector to set the required temperature.
