The Ovens
During use the appliance becomes hot.
Care should be taken to avoid the touching
heating elements inside the oven.
The clock must be set to the time of day before
the ovens will work. See ‘The Clock’ section for
instructions on setting the time of day
Before using for the fi rst time, heat the ovens to
200°C for 30 minutes to dispel manufacturing
odours. Open a window to clear the smell..

The Left hand Oven
The left hand conventional oven is fi tted with two
heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven
and the second under the oven base.
Be careful to avoid touching the top element and
element defl ector when placing or removing items
from the oven.

The Right hand Fan Oven
The fan in the right hand oven circulates hot air
continuously which means faster more even cooking.
The recommended cooking temperatures for a
fanned oven are generally lower than a non-fanned
oven.

Turn the oven knob to the temperature you need.

The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has
reached the temperature you selected. It will then
cycle on and off during cooking.

During cooking, food naturally produces steam,
particulary when cooking foods with high water
content (e.g. oven chips). There may be some steam
visible at the grille at the rear of the hotplate and the
bottom of the left hand door. This is perfectly normal.
Steam can condense to water droplets on the cool
outer trim or the oven door. It may be necessary
during cooking to wipe away any moisture with
a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling
and discolouration of the oven exterior by cooking
vapours.
Take care when opening the oven door as there may
be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door
is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to
disperse.

The fan only setting. The fan circulates air inside
the oven but the heating element is not turned on.
This setting is useful for defrosting frozen foods.
Whole chickens and large joints of meat should
be defrosted in the refrigerator. Do not defrost in a
warm oven or whilst the adjoining oven is hot.
