Cooking function knobs
To set the function, turn the cooking function knob for the required oven clockwise to the required function. Each of the oven functions uses different elements within the oven to offer you the best choice of cooking every time. These are explained below:
Conventional oven
This function uses the top and bottom heating elements only with a temperature between 50ºC and 250ºC. Natural convection creates a perfect cooking zone in the centre of the oven, ideal for dark fruit cakes and pastries.
Warming oven
This function uses the bottom heating element only with a temperature set between 50ºC and 250ºC. This natural heat is perfect for dough proving and blind-baking.
Grill
This function radiates the heat from the grill element and the top element. This fully temperature variable grill is ideal for grilling a full family meal. It can be set between 50ºC and 250ºC.
When grilling, please note:
Oven Lamp
This function switches on the oven light in the cavity. Please note: the oven light will operate on all cooking functions
Defrost
Using the fan only this oven function circulates the air around the oven cavity, speeding up the natural defrost process (1kg takes approximately one hour, depending on the type of food).
Fan Oven
Using the circular element and the fan with a temperature between 50ºC and 250ºC, this cooking function blows the air into and around the oven cavity. Both cooking temperatures and cooking times can be reduced for a more energy efficient cooking programme. This function is perfect for cooking various food types simultaneously as foods are sealed quickly to prevent flavour transfer.

In order to allow for easier access into the oven cavity for cleaning, it is possible to remove the door. Before removing the door, ensure that you have an area prepared in which you can place the removed door. This area should ideally be protected by something like a folded, dirt-free, towel to help prevent damage to surfaces and
the door.
Replacing the appliance door
Please note: If the hinge safety catches are not in the correct place then the door and/or appliance may receive damage when attempting to close the door.
Cleaning
IMPORTANT
The oven exterior
As the oven has a stainless steel or enamel surface, you should use a non-abrasive cleaner. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could erase the control panel markings.
Inside of oven
It is recommended that the interior of the oven be cleaned after every use using suitable products, especially if any spillage has occurred. The shelves can be removed and washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel can be effectively cleaned by simply using a dilute solution of water and mild detergent and drying to a shine with a clean cloth. Proprietary stainless steel cleaners are available. We recommend a clean microfibre cloth for cleaning stainless steel surfaces.
Grill
When used regularly, the grill element does not need cleaning as the intense heat will burn off any splashes. The interior ceiling may need regular cleaning, which should be done with warm water, detergent, and a sponge. If the grill is not used regularly, it should be run for 10 minutes every month to burn off any splashes, in order to reduce the risk of fire.
IMPORTANT:
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid out for this type of product. However, special care should be taken around the rear or the underneath of the appliance as these areas are not designed or intended to be touched and may contain sharp or rough edges that could cause injury.
The appliance can be installed under a worktop or in a wall unit (open or closed) with the appropriate dimensions for recessed installation.
Center the oven in the unit, ensuring that there is as much of a gap as possible, for ventilation purposes, between the appliance and the surrounding unit. The material of the unit supporting the appliance must be heat resistant (or covered with a heat resistant material). For greater stability, attach the oven to the unit with four screws through the holes provided on the side panels.
If the appliance is to be installed under a worktop, ensure the top rail has been removed to provide free airflow around the product.
Do not use your appliance immediately after moving it from a cold location, as condensation may cause a malfunction. Wait approximately 1-2 hours before use.
