FIRST USE Conditioning the oven 1 2 3 ● 4 Conditioning will burn off any manufacturing residues and ensure that you get the best results right from the start. Insert all the shelves. See ‘Positioning the shelves’ for instructions. Turn on the ventilation hood above your range on high. Heat the empty oven at 450oF / 232oC for: ● 30 minutes using BAKE ● 30 minutes using BROIL (some ovens only). See sections ‘Using your oven for baking and roasting’ and ‘Using your oven for broiling’ for instructions.
OVEN USE Positioning the shelves ● ● ● Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom. Position the shelves you will need before turning the oven on. For advice on which shelf position to use, see sections ‘Oven modes’, ‘Oven cooking guidelines’, and ‘Cooking charts’. IMPORTANT! Always position the oven shelves before turning the oven on. Remove any unused shelves and baking utensils from the oven.
OVEN USE To insert the shelves – MAIN OVEN Guard rail 1 Make sure the guard rail is at the back, facing up and the slides are not extended. 2 Hold the shelf firmly with both hands, making sure you grip the wire shelf too to stop it sliding forward. Rear tag Front tag 3 Hook the rear tags over the wires of the desired shelf position on both side racks. 4 Push the shelf all the way into the oven, ensuring the front and rear tags either side are securely locked behind the side rack wires.
COOKING GUIDE Oven cooking guidelines IMPORTANT! ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 18 Use all the oven modes with the oven door closed. Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line the floor of the oven. The trapped heat can irreversibly damage the enamel and may even cause fire. Do not place water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor, as this will irreversibly damage the enamel. Do not cover the broil pan with aluminum foil.
COOKING GUIDE Oven cooking guidelines ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ROASTING The broil rack and broil pan are ideal for broiling and roasting. Place meat on the broil rack (on top of the broil pan) to allow hot air to circulate around it. This gives more even browning and a result similar to a rotisserie. Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer than roasts containing bones. Use a meat thermometer to determine when meat is cooked.
COOKING GUIDE Oven cooking guidelines ● ● ● ● ● REHEATING Use BAKE or BAKE CONVECTION to reheat food. BAKE mode is particularly good for reheating pastry based items, as the base heat will help re-crisp the pastry case. Always reheat food to piping hot. This reduces the risk of contamination by harmful bacteria. Once hot, reduce the temperature to WARM to keep the food warm. Never reheat food more than once.
COOKING CHARTS Shelf positions are counted from the base up (1 is the lowest, 5 is the highest). Position shelves before you turn the oven on. For best results preheat the oven to the required temperature. The broil element may come on while the oven is heating up. The halo on the temperature dial will change from white to orange when the oven has reached the selected temperature. The halo may change between white and orange as the oven maintains its set temperature.
COOKING CHARTS The information in these charts are guidelines only. Refer to your recipe or the packaging and be prepared to adjust the cooking times and settings accordingly.

COOKTOP USE Grill cooking guidelines IMPORTANT! Never leave the grill unattended during use. Grease drippings may cause short flare-ups or even sustained flaming. If left unattended, these may cause fire. Make sure you have your ventilation hood set on maximum during grilling. Clean the grease drip-pan after every use. Accumulated grease can be a fire hazard. The longer you preheat the grill, the darker the grill marks will appear on food. Trim excess fat off meat to minimize flare-ups.
CARE AND CLEANING DOS ● ● ● ● ● ● ● DON’TS Read these cleaning instructions and the ‘Safety and warnings’ section before you start cleaning your range. Before cleaning or removing any part, make sure that everything on the range has been turned off. Unless suggested otherwise in the chart following, allow any part to cool to a safe temperature before cleaning. If you do need to handle a warm or hot part (eg grill or griddle), take extreme care.
CARE AND CLEANING WHAT? HOW OFTEN? Control knobs Oven handles HOW? IMPORTANT! 1 Wipe with a damp cloth using a solution of mild detergent and hot water. 2 Dry thoroughly with microfiber cloth. ● Kickstrip grate ● If wished, the knobs can be removed for cleaning. Before removing a knob, make sure that it is set to OFF, then pull it straight towards you. Remove only one knob at a time, and make sure that you refit it on its shaft completely and correctly after cleaning.
CARE AND CLEANING WHAT? HOW OFTEN? Grill grate Radiant tray (under grill grate) HOW? IMPORTANT! 1 Check that the grill has been turned off. 2 Put on barbecue mitts for protection against steam and heat. 3 Scrub the grill with a brass bristle barbecue brush dipped frequently into a bowl of warm water. The softened food particles will drop onto the radiant tray below the grate. 4 Once the grate has cooled completely, remove it and wash in the sink with hot soapy water.
CARE AND CLEANING WHAT? HOW OFTEN? Griddle HOW? IMPORTANT! To remove light soiling after each use: 1 While the griddle is still hot, use a square-edged spatula or brass brush to clean the griddle of grease and food particles. 2 Once the griddle has cooled to lukewarm, rub the surface lightly with vegetable oil, then wipe thoroughly with a heavy, coarse cloth.
CARE AND CLEANING To replace the oven door Hinge slot Hinge tongue 1 Hold the door firmly in an approximately halfway open position. 4 Open the door completely and check that the hinges are both secured by the correct notches as shown. 5 Rotate the locks into the closed position. 2 Align the hinge tongue with the hinge slots and push the door until you feel the latches locate into position on each side. 6 Close the oven door. IMPORTANT! Hinge locks should rest inside the slots.
CARE AND CLEANING Using the CLEAN cycle ● ● ● ● About the CLEAN cycle Main ovens in RDV2 models feature a self-cleaning cycle (CLEAN) which takes care of the mess and grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning. During self-cleaning, the oven reaches very high temperatures. This burns off and breaks down food soils and grease deposits. All that remains is a clean oven cavity with a little gray ash which you can easily remove.
TROUBLESHOOTING If you can’t find an answer to your problem in the chart below, or if the problem cannot be fixed, you will need technical help. Contact your Authorized Service Center or Customer Care. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO No power supply (oven light and halos do not come on either). Check that the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped and there is no power outage in your area. If there is a power outage, you cannot use the oven until power has been restored. No gas supply (gas ovens).
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO Condensation around oven (eg on control panel or top of oven door.) Food has high moisture content or local climate (temperature, humidity) is contributing to condensation. Condensation is normal. You can wipe the drops off the control panel. If there is frequent or excessive condensation, make sure that cabinetry around the range is moisture-proofed. Steam coming from oven vents at the back of the range.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO The oven door won’t open The door is locked because a CLEAN cycle is underway or the oven has not yet cooled to a cooking temperature after a CLEAN cycle.
