FIRST TIME USE DAILY USE

MAIN OVEN

To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting the require temperature between 80°C (176°F) and 230°C (450°F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly,and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary.However, foods such as bread, scones,Yorkshire pudding,do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.
The 'oven temperature charts' are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times.To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C.

Unless otherwise indicated in the charts food should be placed in a cold oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked.

Oven positions
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced.
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities of food.

Food or utensils should Never be placed directly an the floor of the oven for cooking.
Never use more than 4 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.To ensure oven circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15"x12") and baking trays no larger than 330 255mm (13"x 10"), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.
Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use, should be removed from the oven.

Temperature and time
When all four shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow f loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should ha equal gap at either side of the oven.

TOP OVEN

The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food.The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven.

To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above.

There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from the base), do not use shelves upside down.

Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the oven floor.
There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between the top of the food and the grill element.
Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when main oven is in use.

Operation
While the top oven is heating up, the pilot light will come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The pilot light will automatically go on and off during cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.
Top oven as a warming compartment for plates Place the plates/dishes on the shelf, positioned on runner 1, turn top oven control to 100°C for 10-15 minutes.Never use grill control.

When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted, When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well this will cease after a period of use. ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

COOKING TABLE

USING THE OVEN

To select a function, turn the Top Oven/Grill Selection Knob to the symbol for the function you require, then select the required temperature by turning the Top Oven/Grill Temperature Knob.

MAIN OVEN - FAN COOKING

This control switches on the main oven. Fan Cooking - Turn the control clockwise and select any temperature between 80°C and Max. As the control is turned the fan will start. The main oven light will immediately come on.
The thermostat light indicates that the main oven is heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside the oven has reached the setting made with the main oven knob. At this point, the light will turn on and off as the oven maintains the temperature at a constant level.
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on throughout cooking. The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided by an element situated at the back of the oven, around the fan.
Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating the need for pre-heating the oven. It is also ideal for batch cooking where food is cooked on more than one level, because the forced circulation of hot air gives aneven temperature from the top to the bottom of the oven.

FORCED AIR
For cooking different foods on multiple shelves (maximum of four) at the same time. This function can be used to cook different foods without odours being transferred from one food to another.

TOP OVEN

CONVENTIONAL
For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

BOTTOM
This function can be used to finish cooking filled pies or to thicken soups. Use this function the last 10/15 minutes of cooking.

HALF GRILL
For grilling small food like bacon or toasting bread. The grill pan is placed on top of the top oven cavity shelf. The shelf position can be adjusted to allow for grilling different types of food.

GRILL
For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages, cooking vegetables au gratin or toasting bread. When grilling meat, we recommend using a drip tray to collect the cooking juices: Position the pan on of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml o drinking water.

The number and type of accessories may vary depending on which model is purchased. Other accessories that are not supplied can be purchased separately from the After-sales Service.

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle securely before use:

1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external ‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2) and holds the pan from the bottom.

The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan. Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best results are achieved following the cooking table. Pouring a little water into the grill pan will make the collection of grease particles more efficient and prevent the formation of smoke.

TROUBLESHOOTING

USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook various different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.
