COMMON–SENSE PRACTICES/GOOD HABITS:
- DO NOT leave your oven unattended while making food. If possible, unplug the oven while not in use to eliminate the possibility of accidents occurring.
- Have a fire extinguisher or fire containment blanket handy in a safe, known location. If you don’t have a fire extinguisher, douse the flames with bicarbonate of soda until they are put out.
- If a fire occurs and the food in the oven is not greasy, immediately unplug the unit and douse the flames with water until the fire is extinguished. DO NOT use water if grease is present, since it could make the fire worse. Use bicarbonate of soda instead.
Accessory Placement
The oven has 4 available rack positions where your accessories can slide into the unit (see image above). When you select a function, the corresponding rack number(s) will illuminate on the control panel. The numbers on the control panel (see Fig. 1) will coincide with those on the interior of the unit. See the chart on page 8 for further details.
Before First Use
- Remove and discard any packaging material, promotional labels and tape from the unit.
- Remove all accessories from the package and read this manual carefully. Please pay particular attention to operational instructions, warnings and important safeguards to avoid any injury or property damage.
- Wash the air fry basket, oven tray, wire rack, roasting rack and removable crumb tray in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. DO NOT put oven tray, roasting rack or removable crumb tray in the dishwasher. Finishes may degrade. NEVER submerse the main unit in water.
NOTE: The accessories are hand-wash recommended. The air fry basket and wire racks can be put in the dishwasher, but may wear more quickly over time.

Cleaning & Maintenance
Everyday Cleaning
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly after every use.
- Unplug the unit from the socket and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
- Empty crumb tray by sliding it out of the oven.
NOTE: Empty crumb tray frequently. Hand-wash when necessary. - After every use, wipe away any food splatter on the interior walls and glass door of the unit with a soft, damp sponge.
- To clean the exterior of the main unit and the control panel, wipe them clean with a damp cloth. A non-abrasive liquid cleanser or mild spray solution may be used. Apply the cleanser to the sponge, not the oven surface, before cleaning.
- When using accessories, we recommend greasing them with recommended cooking oil or covering them with parchment paper or aluminum foil before placing food on top. DO NOT cover roast tray holes with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Deep Cleaning
- Unplug the unit from the socket and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
- Remove all accessories from the unit, including the crumb tray and wash separately. Use a non-abrasive cleaning brush to more thoroughly wash the air fry basket. Accessories are hand-wash recommended. The air fry basket and wire racks can be put in the dishwasher, but may wear more quickly over time. DO NOT place roast tray, oven tray or crumb tray in dishwasher.
- Use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth to wash the oven’s interior and glass door, DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, scrubbing brushes or chemical cleaners, as they will damage the oven.
CAUTION: NEVER put the main unit in the dishwasher or immerse it in water or any other liquid. - To remove tough grease, let oven tray and roast tray soak overnight in warm, soapy water, then wash with a nonabrasive sponge or brush.
- Thoroughly dry all parts before placing them back in the oven.
IMPORTANT: Place crumb tray below lower heating elements. DO NOT slide into any rack positions.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
ERROR MESSAGES
“CALL CUSt SrVC” followed by “Er0,” “Er1,” “Er2,” “Er3,” “Er4,” “Er5,” or “Er6” Turn off the unit and call Customer Service at 0800 862 0453
FAQ
- Why won’t the oven turn on?
- Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the socket. Insert the power cord into a different socket.
- Reset the circuit breaker if necessary.
- Press the power button.
- Can I use the oven tray instead of the air fry basket with Air Fry function?
- Yes, but crispiness results may vary.
- Do I need to adjust the cook times and temperatures of traditional oven recipes?
- For best results, keep an eye out on your food while cooking. Refer to cook charts in the Recipe Guide for more guidance on cook times and temperatures.
- Can I restore the unit to its default settings?
- The oven will remember the last setting used for each function, even if you unplug it. To restore the oven’s default settings for each function, press the Light and 2 LEVEL buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
- Why do the heating elements appear to be turning on and off?
- This is normal. The oven is designed to control temperature precisely for every function by adjusting the heating elements’ power levels.
- Why does the oven have a different temperature reading with an external thermometer?
- Convection ovens circulate air differently than traditional ovens, so when the door is opened, more heat will escape. This may affect any external temperature reading of the unit’s interior temperature.
- Since this is a convection oven, it can cook more quickly than a traditional oven. Convection cooking includes a fan that helps speed up cook time by circulating hot air and can affect temperatures within the cavity. The time it takes the unit to heat up to the set temperature will vary based on the amount of food being cooked, the function being used and the cook temperature and time. The oven features an algorithm that ensures temperature and time settings work with most traditional oven recipes. As a result, the temperature inside the oven may differ from the set temperature. This does not impact cooking quality. Refer to the Recipe Guide to learn more about recommended cook times and temperatures.
- Why is my unit not fully preheated when the preheat cycle is completed?
- During preheating, the unit will not reach the intended cook temperature, but it will preheat to a level that will start cooking your ingredients. As the cook cycle continues, the oven will continue to heat up and cook your food to doneness. It may take up to 10 minutes for the unit to reach the intended cook temperature. This does not affect the cooking quality of most recipes.
- Why is steam coming out from the oven door?
- This is normal. Foods with a high moisture content may release steam around the door.
- Why is water dripping onto the worktop from under the door?
- This is normal. The condensation created by foods with a high moisture content (such as frozen breads) may run down the inside of the door and drip onto the worktop
- Why is the unit generating smoke?
- Ensure you are using the roast tray on the oven tray when cooking all greasy foods or when using Air Fry, Roast or Whole Roast functions.
- If problem persists, run a Toast cycle on shade 7 with accessories removed; this will burn off any additional grease on the heating elements that are causing smoke.
- How can I clean the oven tray?
- For stuck-on food, let the oven tray soak before cleaning.
- Line the oven tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper when cooking to make clean-up easier.
- Why does the unit sound like it is still running even though the power is off?
- The cooling fan may continue to run even after the unit has been turned off. This is a normal function and should not be a source of concern. The cooling fan will stop after the temperature of the unit reaches below 35°C
