USING THE OVEN THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB
The thermostat is used to set the maximum internal temperature of the oven. Turn the thermostat control
knob clockwise and align the selected temperature indicated on the knob with the index etched on the
control panel above it. Thermostat operation is indicated by an orange light which will turn off when the
temperature inside the oven is 10°C greater than the temperature setting, and will turn on when the oven is
10°C less than the temperature setting. The thermostat can control the oven elements only if an oven
function has been set. For electronic timers, the timer must be off (“A” symbol off) or running.
USING THE OVEN FUNCTION CONTROL KNOB (Fig. 22)
The oven function knob is used to control the electric fan and the oven
elements
in set combinations in conjunction with the timer and thermostat.
The electric oven is heated by 4 elements:
a) Upper element (1200W) and grill element (1500W) combined at the top
of the oven cavity.
b) Lower element (1600W) at the bottom of the oven cavity.
c) Two circular elements (1200W) at the rear of the oven cavity, situated
around the 2 internal fans.
Select an oven function by turning the oven function control knob so that the
symbol for the required function is at the top and in line with the index etched on
the control panel above it.
Note: The timer and thermostat must be set correctly for the oven to
function.
To turn electric oven off adjust the oven function control knob to position
0 (no function selected). Setting the thermostat control knob to position 0 turns off the elements but it is still
possible, using the oven function knob ,to turn on the electric fan and the oven light.
There are 9 function as per below :
QUICK START/DEFROST FUNCTION: This function runs the rear fans and all elements. The
heat generated is too hot to cook in, but is perfect for preheating the oven (run at the required
temperature until the thermostat light turns off and on a couple of time, then adjusts to the
required function setting. To use as a defrost function, leave the thermostat on 0. This allows
air to flow over frozen food speeding up defrost times.
CONVENTIONAL COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper and lower elements. It is
dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting.
LOWER ELEMENT COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the lower element. It is
dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. It can be used at low temperatures, for
slow cooking casseroles & custard, and at high temperatures for pastries.
UPPER ELEMENT COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper element. It is
dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. With less power than the grill, this can be
used to brown cauliflower cheese and to reheat lasagne.
GRILL COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper and grill elements. It is dependent
on the timer and the thermostat setting. Best used for shorter grilling times, like toast or
crumpets.
GRILL AND FAN COOKING FUNCTION: This function runs the upper and grills elements,
and runs both rear internal fans. It is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. Best
