INSTRUCTIONS
This User Manual must be kept for future reference and use by
someone who is not familiar with the appliance.
Before using the oven, carefully clean the inside with a non-
abrasive detergent and warm water. Introduce the grill and tray
in their respective runners. Once the operation is complete,
turn the oven on to the maximum temperature for approximately
20 minutes to remove any traces of manufacturing grease, oil
or resins which may cause unpleasant odours when cooking.
WARNING: During this first heating some smoke or unpleasant
odours may appear. Should this happen ventilate the room
suitably until the first operation is finalised.
Once this simple operation has been carried out the oven is
ready to use for cooking.
This appliance is exclusively for domestic use.
Use the oven to cook food only.
USING THE OVEN
The oven is controlled by a thermostat between 50 ºC and 250
ºC, depending on the temperature required. The thermostat
pilot light turns on and off to indicate the temperature control
during use.
The required cooking mode is selected using the multi-functional
control button. The functions that may be selected are:
A. OVEN LIGHT. Automatic when selecting the cooking
mode for all models. The oven light remains on when
using the oven.
B. CONVECTION MODE. Provides traditional cooking
with heat from the upper and lower elements.
C. UPPER ELEMENT MODE. For gentle cooking, brown-
ing or keeping cooked dishes warm.
D. LOWER ELEMENT MODE. For slow cooking and
heating food.
E. FAN-ASSISTED CIRCULAR ELEMENT MODE. Provi-
des uniform heating with the fan and allows different
dishes to be cooked at the same time on different le-
vels.
F. FAN–ASSISTED LOWER ELEMENT MODE. This pro-
vides heating by semi-convection with the lower ele-
ment for delicate dishes.
G. FAN-ASSISTED CONVECTION MODE. This provides
convection heating of the upper and lower elements
for uniform cooking.
H. GRILL. For gratinating and browning food.
I. MAXI-GRILL. As above, but the grill element provides
a larger area for roasting.
J. FAN-ASSISTED GRILL. This provides fast browning
so that food remains juicy. For convection baking, this
is the most energy-efficient function.
K. THAWING MODE.
The fan works without heat to reduce the thawing time
for frozen food.
USEFUL ADVICE
• Before cooking, make sure all oven accessories that are not
required are removed from the oven.
• Pre-heat the oven to the cooking temperature before using it.
• Place the cooking trays in the centre of the oven and leave
space in between when using more than one, so that the air
can circulate.
• Do not fill the tray to full when preparing a juicy, fruit cake.
Any fruit juice that drips from the tray will produce stains that
cannot be removed.
• Do not put oven trays on the base of the oven or cover it with
aluminium foil. This will cause thermal accumulation. The
cooking and roasting times will not coincide and the enamel
may be damaged.
• Try to open the oven door as little as possible to see the food
(the oven light remains on during cooking).
• Take care when opening the door to avoid contact with hot
parts and steam.
