13 Put the plug into the power socket. 14 Set the temperature control to the required temperature (100-230°C). 15 Set the oven to the function you require: / all elements off O top element and rotisserie F bottom element H both elements 16 Turn the timer clockwise to the required time. The light will glow. , If you need to cook for more than 60 minutes, simply set the timer again when it returns to zero. 17 When the time returns to 0, the appliance will switch off. You’ll hear a “ding”. The light will go off. 18 When using the bottom element, or both elements (F H), preheat the oven, and wait till the light goes out before cooking. C THE DOOR – OPEN OR CLOSED? 19 The door has 3 stable positions, open, closed, and half open (about 30°). 20 Keep the door half open when using the top element O, either as a gril, or with the rotisserie. 21 This will prevent the thermostat operating and switchhing off the element. 22 Keep the door closed when using the bottom element F, for baking, or both elements together H for traditional oven cooking. 23 The door gets hot – wear oven gloves.

C GRILLING AND SPITTING

24 When grilling, or cooking anything that comes close to the top element, keep an eye on the food, to avoid fat or juices spitting on the top element. 25 If you see spitting, move the food down, away from the top element. 26 You may have to extend the cooking time slightly, to make up for the extra distance. 27 Spitting will make cleaning difficult. 28 Residues burned on to the top element may shorten its life. 29 Burned residues falling back into the food may affect the look and taste of the food.

30 Whatever you are roasting, a bird, a rabbit, or a piece of meat, it must be mounted centrally on the rotisserie. 31 If it is not mounted centrally, then one side will cook faster than the other. 32 There must be no loose bits, or they will be unevenly cooked. 33 The closer you can get to a cylinder shape, with the rotisserie exactly in the centre, the better will be the results. 34 Tie loose bits, like wings, or small legs, with string. 35 Loosen both screws, then remove the skewer from the pointed end of the rotisserie. 36 Push the pointed end through the centre of the meat, and out the other side. 37 Replace the skewer on the rotisserie, and push both skewers into the ends of the meat.5 38 The meat will shrink as it is cooked, and it must not fall off the skewers, so push them well in. 39 Move the meat and skewers along the rotisserie till the meat is roughly in the centre, then tighten both screws, to hold it in place. 40 Fit the pointed end of the rotisserie into the rotisserie drive, then lower the other end into the guide on the other side of the oven. 41 Check that nothing will touch the inside of the oven as the rotisserie rotates. 42 Slide the tray into the bottom support, to catch the drips. 43 Leave the door half open. 44 Set the temperature control to the required temperature (100-230°C). 45 If the temperature is too high, the outside will cook faster than the centre. 46 We suggest you cook at low to medium temperatures. 47 If you want to crisp the outside of the meat, then turn the temperature up towards the end of the cooking time. 48 Set the oven control to O. 49 Turn the timer clockwise to the required time. 50 Use the rotisserie fork to lift the rotisserie out of the oven. 51 Fit the ends of the fork under the cut-outs in the rotisserie. 52 Hold the fork with both hands. 53 Lift the left side a little, to free the end from the guide, then move the rotisserie to the right, to free the pointed end. 54 Carefully remove the fork and rotisserie from the oven. 55 We suggest that you practise a few times before you start cooking.
