First Time Use of the Oven

Unpack the oven. Remove any packaging or labels. Use a damp cloth to carefully wipe the inner cavity wall and housing. Clean all the detachable parts in hot, soapy water before using.

Heat the oven on maximum for 45 minutes. There may be a little smoke and odour upon initial start up (for about 15 mins). This is normal. It is due to the protective substance on the heating elements which protects them from the effects of corrosion during shipping from the factory.

Function Selector Control

• This control is used to select the available cooking functions, which are:

Thermostat Control

The temperature can be set from 50°C - 240°C. Select the desired temperature, as follows:

To keep food warm 50 - 100°C position
For traditional oven cooking 50 - 240°C position
For all types of grilling 190°C position

!

• Under no circumstances should the oven be lined with aluminium foil as overheating may occur.
- Do not place dishes or baking trays directly onto the base of the oven as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.
- Bread may catch fire if the toasting time is too long. Close supervision is necessary during toasting.
- During use, this appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching hot surfaces, e.g., oven door, heating elements.
- Accessible parts may become hot when in use. Children should be kept away.
- Do not leave the handle in position when grilling. If the handle is left in position when grilling, it will get very hot.

1. To get the best results, the smallest distance allowed between the food and the upper heating element is 30 mm.
2. On the wall of inner cavity there are 5 different shelf guide slots. You can place the shelf at different heights to achieve the best cooking performance depending on the heat of the heating elements and the size of food. If only the upper heating element is on, we suggest that you place the shelf on guide 1 (make sure that there is a minimum distance of 30 mm between the food and the upper heating element).
3. Always monitor the food during cooking to ensure that you are not overcooking it.
4. For heavy food, use the Oven Tray rather than the wire shelf.
5. Select the oven function you require. Select the temperature you require.
6. Before placing food in the oven you may need to pre-heat the oven for 10 minutes.
7. The temperature light will go out when the chosen temperature has been reached.
8. To switch the oven off turn the function control dial to the off position '0'.
9. The grill pan has a detachable handle. Ensure the grill pan handle is centralised and secure as shown below when in use.

Symbol Function Description
	Static Cooking FunctionThe static cooking function emits heat, ensuring even cooking of the lower and upper food, this is an excellent function for making pastries, cakes, baked pasta, lasagne and pizza.
	Lower Heating FunctionThe lower heating function is ideal for baking pizza, as the heat rises from the bottom of the oven and warms food up, rather than cooking the foods.
	Upper Heating FunctionIn this type of cooking, the heat emanating from upper heating element cooks the upper side of the food. This is suitable for browning the top of a cooked dish.
	Grilling FunctionThis function is used for grilling foods such as cheese on toast, always use the highest rack. Lightly brush the grill rack with oil to stop foods sticking and place the foods in the centre. The grill pan and rack should be used together to catch the drips of oil.
	Faster Grilling FunctionThis function is used for faster grilling and for covering a larger surface area, such as grilling meats, which tend to take up more room on a grilling rack. Use a lower shelf position for grilling thick foods.

Baking Tips

1. Always place baking tins in the centre of the wire shelf.
2. Make sure you use bakeware that is oven proof.
3. Do not place bakeware too close to the rear of the oven wall.
4. You can influence the degree of browning by changing the temperature setting.
5. If a cake collapses after removing it from the oven:

• Use less liquid on your next attempt.
- Consider using a longer baking time or use a slightly lower temperature setting.

Energy Saving

To save energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend these hints:

• Preheat the oven only if expressly required by the recipe or guidelines.
• Dark baking tins have a higher degree of heat absorption.
- In the case of longer baking times, you can switch off the oven 5–10 minutes before the full baking time and use the residual heat. This will reduce energy usage.
• Use the oven efficiently, by cooking many trays of food at the same time.
• Cook 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls at the same time.
- Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked.
- Do not open the oven door more than necessary.

Ensure that the appliance is switched off and isolated before cleaning the oven to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

1. Allow the oven to fully cool before cleaning. Remove the wire shelves, wash them separately in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.
2. Wash the interior of the oven with hot soapy water and wipe down with a damp cloth.
3. Leave the door open until the interior has dried, before replacing the wire shelves.
4. Clean the oven after each use, especially after roasting or grilling, this will help reduce spilt or splattered food debris burning and becoming difficult to remove.
5. Do not use abrasive pads to clean the interior of the oven as this may remove the enamel, which will affect the efficiency of your oven.
6. Steam cleaners must never be used to clean this oven.

Cleaning the Outside of the Oven

1. You should regularly wipe over the control panel and oven door using a soft cloth and liquid detergent as spilt liquids may damage the finish.
2. Wash enamelled or chrome plated parts of the oven with hot soapy water or with non-abrasive detergents.
3. Never use abrasive pads to clean enamelled, chromed or stainless steel surfaces.
4. When using commercially available stainless steel cleaning products, avoid cleaning any lettering or symbols, as they can become damaged.

Cleaning the Oven Door Glass

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Take care when handling parts with glass, knocks, and chips; heavy handling and dropping could cause the glass to shatter.

Replacing the Oven Light

Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the light to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

1. Turn off the oven and make sure that it is cold. Switch off its isolation switch.
2. After removing the cover in front of the light, take out the bulb.
3. Insert the new bulb, which should be resistant to 300^ C. For replacement bulbs contact your local service centre or Partmaster Direct (details at the back of this guide).
4. Re-fit the cover.
5. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician for help.

Removing the Door for Easier Cleaning

1. We recommend you have someone to assist you during removal of the door.
2. Open the door completely.
3. The door hinge has a small latch. Lift the latch on both hinges.
4. Lift the door slightly as if closing, and then with both hands supporting the door, pull it away from the oven.
5. To replace the door, perform the above in reverse order. Ensure the slot on the bottom of the hinge is seated when refitting the door. Open and close the door to make sure that it has been fitted correctly.
