Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the drop down 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, and is supplied with
two shelves.
The shelf positions are counted from the bottom
of the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
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.

Using the Oven
Before the First Use of the Cooker
Remove all packaging, both inside and outside
the cooker, before using it.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without food.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is quite normal.
1. Set the time of day with the "24 Hour Clock".
2. Ignite the gas oven burner and set the oven function
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 grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Do not clean the oven while it is still warm.
• 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.
Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the oven cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may become
hot if the oven is on high for a long period of time,
therefore flammable materials such as oven gloves,
tea towels, plastic aprons etc. should not be
stored in the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will also
become hot, therefore care should be taken when
removing these items from the drawer whilst the
oven is in use or still hot.
