Before using your convection oven

Before using your electric convection oven for the first time, be sure to:

1. Read all the instructions contained in this manual.
2. Check that the oven is disconnected from the electrical outlet and that its time knob is in the "OFF" position.
3. Wash all accessories in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher.
4. Dry all the accessories thoroughly and reassemble them in the oven, plug the oven into an electrical outlet. Your new electric oven is now ready for use.
5. After reassembling your oven, we recommend that you operate it at the highest temperature

setting (230^) using the Grill mode for about 15 minutes to remove any packaging residues that may remain after shipping. This also eliminates all traces of odour that were originally present.

Note: When first used, the appliance may emit some smoke and a slight odour (for about 15 minutes). This is normal and harmless. This is due to the combustion of the protective substance applied to the heating elements in the factory.

Using your convection oven

About rotating heat cooking

Rotating heat cooking combines hot air movements generated by a fan with conventional functions (grill , brown , cook ). Rotating heat usually allows faster cooking than conventional electric radiant heat ovens. The fan gently propels air into the food areas, allowing them to be cooked and browned quickly, preserving their moisture and flavour. The air movements make the temperature around the food uniform, making cooking more homogeneous compared to conventional ovens where some areas are warmer and others colder. The rotating heat allows you to cook at lower temperatures, saving energy and helping to keep the kitchen cooler. With rotating heat, very hot air circulates around the food, which significantly speeds up their cooking compared to conventional ovens.

Using your rotating heat oven

Familiarise yourself with the functions, controls and accessories of the oven before first use:

• Temperature knob (H): Set the temperature between 100^ and 230^ for browning, cooking or grilling.
  Mode knob (I): This oven is equipped with four modes for different types of cooking.
• Four-position cooking mode selector:
• Stop /Brown /Cook /Grill /Stop.

Browning: For gratinating fish, steaks, poultry, pork chops, etc. (upper heating elements)

Cook: For baking cakes, pies and biscuits, and cooking poultry, beef, pork, etc. (lower heating elements)

Grill: For baking bread, muffins, frozen waffles, pizza, etc. (upper and lower heating elements)

• Time knob (J): Turn it to the right (clockwise) to cook/bake or use it as a timer. This knob also includes a bell that goes off when the set time has elapsed.
• Fan: The fan works automatically in all modes. Once the temperature and mode are selected, set the timer to the desired time. The convection fan turns ON.
• Power indicator light: It lights up when the oven is ON.

• Drip pan (M): For cooking and roasting meats, poultry, fish and many other foods. It can also be used with a rotisserie to collect juices.

• Cooking grill (O): For grilling, baking and cooking supp standard dishes and casseroles.

WARNING: TO AVOID THE RISK OF INJURY OR BURNS, DO NOT TOUCH THE HOT SURFACES WHILE USING THE OVEN. ALWAYS USE POT HOLDERS.

CAUTION: Take extreme care when removing the drip pan, grill, and any hot containers from a hot oven. Always use the drip pan handle or pot holders to remove hot items from the oven.

Roasting in your oven

Roast your favourite piece of meat to perfection. You can cook chickens and turkeys of about 4kg and roasts of about 3kg with this oven. A guide is provided to help you determine the cooking times. However, we suggest that you regularly check the progress of cooking with a meat thermometer. For best results, we recommend preheating the oven for 15 minutes at 230^ . We do not recommend the use of oven roasting bags or glass containers in the oven. Never use cardboard, plastic, paper, or any similar material in the oven.

Use

• Place the grill in the lowest position in the oven.
• Place the food to be cooked in a roasting pan. If you want to use the drip pan (juice/cooking plate), you do not need to insert the grill, as the drip pan supports itself on the side brackets of the oven.
• Set the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
• Turn the time knob to the ON position.
• To control or stop cooking, use the supplied drip pan handle to slide food more easily into and out of the oven.
• When cooking is completed, turn the time knob to the OFF position.

Maintenance and cleaning

Warning: Always unplug the oven and let it cool down before cleaning.

Your oven is equipped with a continuous cleaning coating that automatically cleans itself during normal use. Any spraying that occurs while cooking and comes into contact with this coating is oxidised during operation of the oven. If necessary, wipe the sides of the oven with a nylon scouring pad, a damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent. DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL SCOURING PADS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS AND DO NOT SCRAPE THE SIDES

OF THE OVEN WITH METAL UTENSILS, AS ALL OF THESE METHODS MAY DAMAGE THE CONTINUOUS CLEANING COATING.

All accessories must be washed in hot soapy water and can be cleaned in a dishwasher. Wipe the glass door with a damp sponge and dry it with paper towels or a rag. Clean the outside of the oven with a damp sponge. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS, AS THESE MAY DAMAGE THE EXTERNAL FINISH COATING.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR STEEL WOOL SCOURING PADS TO CLEAN THE DRIP PAN, AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE ENAMEL.

ALLOW ALL PARTS AND SURFACES TO DRY COMPLETELY BEFORE PLugging IN AND USING THE OVEN.
