setting control ⑧

Turn the control to select the required cooking mode.

@ setting 1 : convection

• The heat is uniformly distributed around the oven by the rear heating element and fan.
• The continuous hot air flow allows quick uniform cooking to take place at a lower temperature than in a conventional oven. The lower temperature maintains the flavour and appearance of the food without producing any smoke.
  Several different dishes can be cooked simultaneously without the taste and smell being transferred from one to the other.
• This setting can also be used for defrosting and as a keep warm function.

⑤ setting 2:ventilated pastry X

• The bottom heating element operates continuously on full power and the fan is on to distribute the heat evenly.
• The Quartz element can be switched on by turning the temperature control to the required temperature (see cooking charts) during the last 10 minutes of cooking to brown, crisp or grill the top of the food.
• This setting is ideal for cooking savoury or sweet tarts and pies.

setting 3: turbo quartz

• Both the bottom heating element and Quartz tubes are on and the fan distributes the heat evenly.
• The Quartz technology enables the oven to reach a temperature of 250^ in less than 5 minutes. No preheating is required and the power consumption is greatly reduced.
  The taste and nutritional qualities of the food is retained with this method of cooking.

⑥ setting 4: quartz grill/spit roast

• Only the Quartz tubes operate on this setting.
• When using the grill or spit roast function the door must be left half opened.
• When grilling the food should be placed as near to the quartz tubes as possible without touching them.
  The temperature control should be turned to setting 10.

care and cleaning

• Switch off, unplug and allow the oven to cool completely before cleaning.

oven exterior

• Wipe with a damp cloth or non abrasive cleaner and dry thoroughly.

oven interior

• Clean the door with warm water and a non-abrasive cleaner.
• The bottom heating element can be lifted up slightly to clean the bottom of the oven. To avoid damage take care when lifting the element.
• Grease particles on the quartz tubes will normally evaporate during operation of the oven. Do not attempt to clean the actual quartz tubes as damage may occur.
• The oven has self-cleaning panels which are covered with porous enamel that will absorb grease. Do not scrape the surface with sharp utensils or scourers and do not clean using detergent based products. To clean and extend the life of the self cleaning surface :-

a) After cooking greasy foods - heat the oven when empty for 15minutes with the door open on setting 2(ventilated pastry) and the temperature set to maximum.
b) Large splashes of grease should be wiped off with a damp sponge once the oven is cold.

oven shelves, tray & spit

• Wash immediately after use in hot soapy water.
• Alternatively they can be washed in the dishwasher.

service

• If the cord is damaged it must, for safety reasons, be replaced by Kenwood or an authorised Kenwood repairer.
• For any repairs in or out of guarantee, servicing or selected spare parts contact the dealer from whom you purchased your appliance.

The oven does not work?	Check that it is plugged in
	Is the timer on?
	Is the programmable timer set instead of the cooking timer?
	Is the temperature control set to 0?
	Is the setting control set to 0?
	If none of the above check the fuse/circuit breaker for your installation
The oven gives off too much smoke?	Cooking temperature set too high
	Oven door closed when using the Quartz grill or spit roast setting.
	If smoking during grilling try adding a small amount of water to the drip tray.
