Introduction
Your new electric oven is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has
been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.
The oven is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.
Note: When the oven is first used, an odour may be omitted - this will cease after a short period of use.
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat the empty oven to maximum temperature for a minimum of two to three hours, keeping
the door/s closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (eg. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons
who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell
has ceased.
This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:
(a) Has been used solely in accordance with this booklet.
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the rating plate, attached to the
appliance.
(c) Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or repaired by any person other than the
manufacturers authorised employee or agent.
(d) Has been correctly installed.

The Controls
The various features offered by your oven are selected by
means of function/temperature selector “B” and grill control
“C” situated on the control panel.
The oven light
To turn on the oven light, set the function/temperature selector
“B” to the 8 symbol. The light will stay on when any of the
electrical heating elements in the oven come on.
Notice: Never place anything on the bottom of the oven
when it is in operation because this could damage the
enamel. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium
foil, etc. etc.) on the shelves provided with the appliance
inserted along the shelf guides “H”.
Timer
To use the timer, the buzzer “D” must be wound up by
turning the knob one full turn clockwise 4; then turn it
back to the desired time - so that the number of minutes
required is by the mark on the panel.
Thermostatically controlled oven (Convection Mode)
Turning the control in a clockwise direction will bring you to
the calibrated part of the dial (from 60°C to Max). Simply set
the knob to the desired temperature for the food you are
cooking and the oven will cook at that temperature, controlled
by the thermostat. This method of using the oven utilises
both the upper and lower heating elements.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, it is
equipped with a cooling fan which comes on automatically
when the oven is hot.
When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard exiting
between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: When cooking is finished, the fan stays on until
the oven cools down sufficiently.
Note: Whilst using the oven for conventional cooking the
grill control “C” must be set with “MAX” in line with the reference
mark on the control panel.
Grill d

Turn the function/temperature selector “B” clockwise
until the required grilling symbol is in line with the mark
on the control panel. The element is now "on".
The variable grill control “C” can now be used to select
the required heat.
2
The variable grill control "C" provides varying grilling
temperatures when rotated from "max" to "min" and may be
adjusted to vary the level of heat at any time during the
grilling operation.
NOTE: Grilling must be done with the door partially open.

Cooking Advice
When Using the Grill
When cooking in the oven, use only one baking tray or shelf
at a time. Select an upper or lower shelf position based on
whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top.
Use the d“grill” mode, place the food in the centre of the
grill pan, situated on the 3rd or 4th shelf from the bottom,
Preheating
If the food being cooked needs to go into a preheated
oven (this is generally the case when cooking leavened
foods), we recommend you wait until preheating is over,
which is indicated by the red oven indicator light “E” going
out, before adding the food.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven. Make
sure you wait until the oven has preheated thoroughly (the
red oven indicator light "E" will go out). Do not open the
oven door during baking to prevent the cake from dropping.
In general, if:
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with
a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,
then turn the oven down afterwards.
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting. Place the meat on the centre of the shelf and place
the grill pan/baking tray beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it is in the centre of
the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat
from below, use the low shelf positions.
Pastry has dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature and increase
the cooking time.
It is cooked well on the inside but is sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.
