or after its use. The metal parts and
the glass panel can reach very high
temperatures. Do not touch these parts
when you open or close the door.
• An AC plug in perfect condition must
be used. Insert the plug fully into the
socket; otherwise, it may not operate
properly. Do not connect several plugs
to the same socket.
• If the power cable is damaged, the
manufacturer must replace it (its service
agent or a similarly qualified technician)
to prevent any danger.
4. OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
Before using your oven for the first time,
heat up the oven whilst empty.
To turn the oven on, you must adjust the
three dials. Firstly, you must select the
temperature you require with the first
dial, the temperature selector (7). Before
selecting the temperature, you must take
into account the type of food you are going
to cook.
Then you must adjust the grill dial (8). If you
turn the dial to the first position, you will
select the top grill, i.e. the top elements will
come on. If you turn the dial to the second
position, this will activate the bottom
elements, cooking the food from below.
And lastly, if you turn the dial to the third
position, this will heat up both the top and
bottom elements.
Finally, you must select the cooking time
you require, using the timer dial (9). The
minutes 10, 20, 30, etc are shown around
the dial, with minutes 2, 4, 6, etc indicated
by dots.
Once you have activated or adjusted the
three dials on the oven, the timer (9) will
begin to count down. It will count down the
time until the selected time has passed.
The oven will then turn off automatically
and you will hear a beep to indicate that
the cooking cycle has finished.
Even if you have selected the specific
temperature, grill mode and cooking time,
you can change them during cooking just
by turning the corresponding dial (7), (8) or
(9) to the left. You can also turn the oven off
by turning the last dial, i.e. the timer dial (9)
fully to the left.
You must adjust the three dials in order for
the oven to operate properly. If you activate
one or two, the oven will not heat up. For
example, if you activate the timer, the
indicator light will activate, but the oven will
not heat up.
CAUTION: If the oven is dirty, your dish
may take longer to cook.
N.B.: The appliance may emit smoke and
a burning smell when it is used for the first
time, but this will not be due to any fault.

TRAY GROOVES (3)
The tray can be placed in four different
positions (MH-26N) / three different positions
(MH-21N) depending on the dishes you wish
to cook. For example, to brown macaroni,
place the tray in the top groove, so that it is
closer to the top element. To roast a chicken,
use the bottom groove.
