Oven functions
Grill
Defrost
Bottom Element
Convetional
The top central heating elements comes on .The extremely high and direct
temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while locking the juices in to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended
for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak,
fillets, hamburgers etc.
Hot air comes from the upper and lower element in the oven. This is called
Conventional cooking and is ideal for joints of meat.
When set to ‘Defrost’ mode, the fan located at the back of the oven circulates room
temperature air 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 heat,
for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes, etc. By using
‘Defrost’ mode, the defrosting time is approximately halved.
Bottom element cooking is used for foods that typically need cooking with heat
from underneath - Cakes and Bread are examples of where this function would be
useful.
16
Using your Freestanding Cooker
When set to Baking mode, the fan element and the fan operate providing a delicate
heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and
cooking delicate foods on multiple shelves, especially cakes that need to rise such
rolls and small portions of vegetables, etc.
The oven light will operate on all oven functions.
To set the time of day, press the “–” or“+” buttons. 15 seconds after the last
change, the will disappear, confirming the time has been set.
After the appliance has been electrically connected “00.00” will be displayed and
the will flash.
The oven is fitted with a 3 button programmable timer, you must set the time of
day before you can operate your appliance.
The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the temperature
setting to the highest mark. Set the function switch control knob to a cooking mode
and leave the oven on for about 40-60 minutes with nothing in it and the oven door
shut. Then, open the oven door and allow the oven to cool. Any odour that may be
detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to
protect the oven during storage.

Remarks

Using your Freestanding Cooker
When the oven is on, do not leave the door open for longer than necessary,
otherwise the knobs may get very hot.
Always leave 1cm gap between dishes on the same shelf. This allows the heat to
circulate freely around them.
To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry
them thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil.
Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place them on a baking tray.
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to the back of the oven.
Baking trays with food cooking on them should be placed level with the front edge
of the oven’s wire shelves. Other containers should be placed centrally. Keep all
trays and containers away from the back of the oven, as over-browning of the food
may occur. For even browning, the maximum recommended size of a baking tray is
340 mm (13½”) by 340 mm (13½”).
Set cooking mode selection knob to symbol to switch on the oven light/s. The oven
light/s stay on when the oven is operating.

Please use the grill pan set provided ensuring that there is no unwanted spillages
formed inside your oven. When using this mode, we recommend you set the
thermostat to the highest setting. However, this does not mean you cannot use
lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired
temperature.
Use the grill mode , placing the food under the center of the grill (situated on
the 3rd or 4th rack from the bottom) due to the central part of the top heating
element being active.
You should always preheat your oven before placing food in it to cook.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode
can then be selected.

Practical Cooking Advice
20
Using your Freestanding Cooker
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the center of the oven. If you would
like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the
top.
When cooking white meat ,fowl and fish, use temperature setting from 180℃to
200℃.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on
the center of the grid and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the
inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200℃-220℃) for a
short tim eth,en turn the oven down afterwards.
Cooking Fish and Meat
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the
racks at the same time.
21
Using your Freestanding Cooker
Do not use if the ceramic glass top is cracked or broken.
Always put dry pots and pans on the hotplates.
Always use pots and pans which are slightly larger than the hotplate. Small pans
waste energy.
Always use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste
energy and cook slowly.
Look at this diagram below which shows you which pans to use on the hotplates
and which pans should not be used.
Do not leave aluminum foil on the hot ceramic hotplates (permanent damage
will occur).

Care and maintenance
The ceramic glass should be regularly cleaned, always wipe clean immediately after
hob is still hot. Smudges from pans with an aluminum bottom can be easily cleaned
cooking, rinse with water and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Never use abrasive or
corrosive detergents, cleaning powders, oven sprays, spot-removers, steel wool or
scourers.
Never use steam cleaner for cleaning inside the cooker.
Clean the glass surfaces with special glass cleaning agents.
Clean the glass surfaces with special glass cleaning agents.
Do not clean your cooker with a steam cleaner.
Do not wash any part of your cooker in a dishwasher.
In order to keep enamelled parts as new, it is necessary to clean them frequently
with mild warm soapy water and then dry with a cloth. Do not wash them while hot
and never use abrasive powders or abrasive cleaning materials. Do not leave
anything spilled onto enamelled parts for long periods of time.
Enamelled Parts:
Ceramic Glass:
Never use flammable agents like acid, thinner or petrol when cleaning your
appliance.
After cleaning the interior parts of the cooker with a soapy cloth, rinse it and then
dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Do not clean using caustic creams, abrasive cleaning powders, thick wire wool or
hard tools. Enamelled parts of the cooker can be damaged if excess cleaning liquids
are not immediately removed.
Before cleaning your cooker or performing maintenance, make sure that the
cooking mode selection knob and the cooking temperature selection knob is set to
‘OFF’. To extend the life of your cooker, it must be cleaned frequently. The inside of
the cooker should preferable be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm
(but not hot, with warm water and soap. The soap should be rinsed away and the
interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers, acidic cleaners
such as lime scale remover, etc, as these could damage the enamel, and can result
in development of rust and corrosion. If stains are particularly tough to remove, use
cleaners specifically recommended to clean cookers and follow the instructions
provided with the cleaner.
WARNING! Isolate the power supply to the appliance and make sure that the
cooker is cool.
