Before using for the first time

1. Remove the packaging.
2. Clean all the accessories to remove any residue that may be left from the manufacturing process (see "Cleaning and maintenance"). Dry them thoroughly.
3. Turn on the top and bottom heating elements for 15 minutes at the highest temperature with the door open. This will remove any packaging odour from the appliance.

Note The appliance may emit a little smoke and a characteristic smell when you switch it on for the first time. This is normal, and will soon stop. Make sure the appliance has sufficient ventilation.

Use

Preheating

It is not necessary to preheat the oven. In certain cases, however, you may achieve a better result if the oven is preheated, for example, for meat that must be cooked medium rare or when baking a cake.

Baking

1. Open the oven door.
2. Place the baking tray with the food at the desired height in the grooves in the oven.
3. Close the oven door.

4. Use the TEMP knob to set the required temperature.

5. Rotate the MODE knob to the setting.

6. Use the TIMER knob to set the baking time. The amount of time required depends on the type and quantity of food. The On/Off indicator will be lit.
7. Bake the food until it is cooked.

The oven will turn itself off automatically and a sound signal will be heard once the baking time has elapsed. The On/Off indicator light will go out.

Note If the food is ready but the baking time has not yet elapsed, you can turn off the oven by rotating the MODE knob to "0". The timer will continue, but the oven will no longer be heated.

1. Wear oven gloves.
2. Open the oven door. Take care! The door is hot.

Figure 2 Removing the baking tray

Grilling

You can use the grill function to give fish, poultry and oven dishes a golden brown crust.

1. Open the oven door.
2. Place the baking tray in the bottom groove in the oven. The baking tray will collect any juice and fat whilst grilling and prevent the juice and fat from getting on the bottom heating element.
3. Place the grille with the food in the middle or top grooves in the oven.
4. Leave the oven door slightly open so as to allow the air to circulate.

5. Use the TEMP knob to set the required temperature.

6. Rotate the MODE knob to the setting.

7. Use the TIMER knob to set the grilling time. The amount of time required depends on the type and quantity of food. The On/Off indicator will be lit.

The oven will turn itself off automatically and a sound signal will be heard once the grilling time has elapsed. The On/Off indicator light will go out.

Note If the food is ready but the grilling time has not yet elapsed, you can turn off the grill by rotating the MODE knob to "0". The timer will continue, but the grill will no longer be turned on.

Using the roasting spit

You can use the roasting spit to roast meat and poultry to a nice, even brown colour.

1. Open the oven door.
2. Place the baking tray in the bottom groove in the oven. The baking tray will collect any juice and fat whilst roasting and prevent it from getting on the bottom heating element.
3. Remove the clamp from the round end of the roasting spit.
4. Spike the meat or poultry to be roasted on the round end of the roasting spit. Make sure the roasting spit is inserted through the middle of the meat or poultry.

Note Make sure the meat or poultry does not touch the top heating element when turning.

1. Leave the oven door slightly open so as to allow the air to circulate.
2. Use the TEMP knob to set the required temperature.
3. Rotate the MODE knob to the setting.
4. Use the TIMER knob to set the roasting time. The amount of time required depends on the type and quantity of food. The On/Off indicator will be lit.
