Remove all packaging, both inside and

outside the oven, before using the oven.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without food.

During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.

This is quite normal.

1. Switch the oven function control knob to conventional

cooking .

2. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
3. Open a window for ventilation.
4. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45

minutes.

5. Half way through, reset the oven function control to fan

cooking .

This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

• Always cook with the oven door closed.

• Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door.

Do not allow it to fall open - support the door using the

door handle, until it is fully open.

• The oven has four shelf levels (Fig. 7 Page 3), and is

supplied with two shelves. The shelf positions are

casted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the

diagram.

It is important that these shelves are correctly

positioned as shown in the diagram.

• Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.

Cookware

• Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand

temperatures of 250°C.

• Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed

directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of

the oven, or placed on the oven base.

• Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm (12

in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of heat

and may affect performance.

The effects of dishes

on cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,

colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to

the food inside them.

A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright

shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium

with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,

heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way

as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this

steam to escape. However, always stand back from

the oven when opening the oven door to allow any

build up of steam or heat to release.

If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the

outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and

produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a

fault with the oven.

To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away

condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Before the First Use

Using the Oven

Push-Pull Control Knobs (Fig. 4 - Page 3)

All the models, except model BMS 641 X, are provided

with push-pull control knobs.

These knobs can be completely sunken inside the control

panel when the oven is not working.
