Double Grill - The full grill element will be on. Thermal Grilling - This function offers an alternative method of cooking food items, normally associated with conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven fan operate together, circulating hot air around the food.
24 hour Clock and Timer The electronic timer can indicate the time of day, operate as a minute minder and automatically operate the oven. Before the oven can be operated, the time of day must be set on the electronic timer. Please note that this is a 24 hour clock. For example, 2pm is shown as 14:00. In case of loss of power, all the settings (time of day, set program or program in operation), will be cancelled.
☞ MANUAL FUNCTION Press button to set the oven for manual function. - + ☞ TO SET THE TIMER TO SWITCH OFF ONLY This is useful if you want to begin cooking immediately but have the oven switch off automatically. 1. Set the oven function control knob and the thermostat control knob on the required settings. 2. Place food in the oven. and, at the same time, turn the 3. Press button time setting knob until the required cooking duration is displayed. Our diagram shows the timer set for 1 hour 10 minutes.
Before the First Use 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. Set the electronic timer to manual function. 2. Switch the oven function control knob to fan cooking . 3. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX. 4. Open a window for ventilation. 5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes.
i Hints and Tips 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.
The Fan Oven The air inside the oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven. The advantage of cooking with this function is energy saving through: ✓Faster Preheating As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking times.
Cooking Chart This chart is intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suit your individual requirements. Only experience will enable you to determine the correct setting for your personal requirements.
i Hints and Tips Runner positions are not critical, but make sure the shelves are evenly spaced. When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than several dishes on one shelf. When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly longer cooking time. When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal trays of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich cakes, then they will be cooked in the same time and removed from the oven together.
Defrosting i Hints and Tips The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of defrosting. This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products.
Grilling Grilling must be carried out with the oven door closed. The grill pan handles must be removed from the pan. ☞ How to Use the Grill 1. Turn the oven control function knob on . 2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required temperature. 3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.
☞ How to Use the Inner Grill Element The inner grill provides quick direct heat to the central area of the grill pan. By using the inner grill element for cooking small quantities, it can help to save energy. 1. Turn the oven control function knob on . 2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required temperature. 3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food and follow the instructions for grilling.
i Hints and Tips Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking. If thermally grilling on more than one level, it may be necessary to interchange the food on the shelves during cooking. A general guide to cooking times is given below but these times may vary slightly depending on the thickness and quantity of food being cooked.
Cleaning the Oven Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to cool the oven down before switching off at the electricity supply. The oven should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in a fire, especially in the grill pan. Cleaning materials Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes.
Oven Cavity The enamelled base of the oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm. Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner. i DO NOT attempt to clean catalytic liners Oven Shelves and Shelf Supports To clean the oven shelves and the shelf supports, soak in warm soapy water and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap impregnated pad.
Care of catalytic liners Catalytic liners destroy splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C. To aid this process it is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week, without food, to ensure continued good performance from the Catalytic liners. i Hints and Tips • Manual cleaning of the Catalytic liner is not recommended. Damage will occur if soap impregnated steel wool pads, aerosol cleaners and any other abrasives are used.
Cleaning the hinged grill This model has been fitted with a hinged grill element to enable you to clean the roof of the oven easily. Before proceeding ensure the oven is cool and is isolated from the electricity supply. ☞ 1) Undo the screw which holds the grill in place (see diagram). FO 0781 2) Then gently pull the grill downward to allow access to the oven roof (see diagram). 3) Clean the oven roof with a suitable cleaner and wipe dry before replacing the hinged grill element.
