Hints and Tips
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the oven when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and
produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not
a fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
• Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
• Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
• Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled
through vents between the oven door and the control
panel.
The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched
off to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.
Before the First Use
Remove all packaging, both inside and outside
the oven, before using the oven.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without food.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is quite normal.
1. Switch on the oven function control knob to
conventional cooking .
2. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
3. Open a window for ventilation.
4. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately
45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the full grill
function and the fan oven function for
approximately 5-10 minutes.
Using the Oven
• Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the oven door. Do
not allow it to fall open - support the door using
the door handle, until it is fully open.
• The oven has four shelf levels, counted from
the bottom, as shown in the diagram.
• It is important that the shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
• Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
