2.2 Installing the oven

The oven is designed for installation into any piece of furniture as long as it is heat-resistant. Proceed according to the dimensions shown in Figures 1,2 and 3. For installing under a work top, follow the dimensions given in Figure 3. For installing under a work top beneath a hob with controls connected to the oven, ensure a minimum clearance from any side walls of at least 110 mm as shown in Figure 1. For installing in a column, follow the dimensions given in Figure 2 allowing for a clearance of 80 to 90 mm at the top and sides of the column. Tighten the four screws (ref.A) inside the frame to secure (Fig. 1). For installing beneath a separate hob, allow for a rear and bottom clearance as shown in Figure 1 (ref. B). See relevant instructions for fitting and securing the hob. Ares em se7 sa3:585 se7

Ca Instructions for the user

In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results. A Keep the oven door closed during cooking

6.1 Traditional cooking (multifunction models)

This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre- heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. very fatty meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.

6.2 Fan cooking (multifunction models)

CESUEr FUNCTION SWITCH ex ©

THERMOSTAT SWITCH 50 + 250°C

This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different types of food (fish, meat etc.), without the tastes and smells mingling. Air circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat.

Instructions for the user NQ e Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the ESS different foods is the same.

THERMOSTAT SWITCH 550 Permits rapid browning of foods. You are advised to place the pan in the highest position. When cooking small items for a short time the pan should be in the highest position. For larger items requiring longer cooking times, the pan should be lowered to avoid food being burned on top before being throughly cooked. Grill function must be used only with the door closed. Keep the oven door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door open could permanently damage the oven and affect safety of operation.

6.4 Fan grilling (multifunction models
