Multi-function
Oven - Owner's Manual
Installation
IMPORTANT: Connection to electrical mains must only be
performed by a licensed electrical contractor. All care must be
taken to ensure the installation is properly earthed and conforms
to all local regulations.
The Ovens are suggested to be installed in heat resistant cabinets.
When installed as a wall unit, ensure that the upper-rear section
of the cabinet has a minimum 20mm depth vent.
DO NOT USE THE DOOR AS A LEVER to assist with installation
into its recess.
Undue pressure must never be placed on the Oven when it is open.
When you first use your Oven, the Oven will need to "settle".
That is, it needs to burn off production residues and dust. The
metal used in the Oven will also expand slightly when first used.
You will experience some crackling and a strong smell. This is
perfectly normal and we advice you anticipate this "settling"
prior to use. Using an empty Oven, select Function 4 and set a
temperature of 250°, allow the Oven to "settle" for
hour, turn to function 3 and heat for a further 1/2 hour.

Multifunction
Oven Function Selections
1. Light - the light illuminates the Oven during normal
cooking modes, and assists you when cleaning the Oven.
2. Defrost - This function activates the fan only, (no
heat is used) to allow controlled and hygienic defrosting.
3. Conventional cooking - Normal or traditional cooking
functions using the top and bottom elements. When using this function
set the thermostat between 50 - 250°C. When the desired temperature
is reached the yellow light will go out and then alternate between
lit and unlit as the temperature is controlled.
4. Fan-Forced cooking - This selection is best for multilevel
cooking as the heat generated by the central element is circulated
around the Oven, creating an even heat environment. You will need
to set the thermostat dial between 50-250°C for this function.
5. Center Griller - For best results set the thermostat
to MAX. The door may remain closed or completely open.
6. Large Griller - For best results set the thermostat
to MAX. The door may remain closed or completely open.
7. Fan Griller - This function combines the grill element
with fan assistance and is used in conjunction with the thermostat.
The Oven door must remain CLOSED during cooking. The thermostat
dial should be set between 50-250°C for this function.
8. Fan-assisted Baking or Patisserie Setting - Combines the
concealed bottom element with fan assistance and is used in conjunction
with the thermostat. The Oven door must remain CLOSED during cooking.

Advanced
Oven Features
Cavity Cooling
The Oven has an advanced cavity cooling system. A cylindrical
fan is mounted on the rear outside frame of the Oven. This fan
assists the movement of air through the Oven cavity keeping it
cool. In addition to reducing the temperature in the Oven cavity,
the air is blown out around the Oven door handle which keeps the
door handle cool. The cooling fan is activated when the Oven light
or any cooking function is selected and will switch off after
all Oven functions have been turned off.
Triple Reflective Door Glazing
Some Ovens have two levels of removable door glass. The two inner
layers are removable and are made of a reflective glass which,
in effect, reflects heat back into the Oven and results in a significant
reduction in the outside door surface temperature. To clean the
door glass, use a coin or large screwdriver to remove the screws.
Wipe both sides of the inner, middle and outer glass. Wipe the
sealing gasket. Don't forget to replace the rubber sealing gasket
around the centre glass layer before replacing the glass. Ensure
the narrow air gap lies between the inner and centre glass layers
and the wider gap lies between the centre and outside glass layers.
Tighten each screw gradually, one then the other until firm. Do
not overtighten.
Wipe Clean Enamel (Extra Optional)
Some models have easyclean blue enamel paint throughout the internal
cavity walls. Other models have baking trays and grill pans finished
in the soft grey super tough "wipe clean" enamel. This
enamel is less porous than conventional, so that food does not
adhere as easily. Simply wipe clean with a soapy cloth or creme
cleanser when cooking is finished. For baked on residue, use a
smooth scraper or if necessary a non-caustic Oven cleaner.
Drop Down Grill Element (Extra Optional)
The removal of a single screw at the front of the upper grill
element in some models allows the element to drop down so that
cleaning of the roof of the Oven is made easy. On completion of
cleaning, simply replace the grill element and secure with the
screw, finger-tight.

Defrost
Function 1 and 2: The defrost setting allows natural thawing
for delicate foods such as fine pastries desserts, bacon slices
and seafood. Rather than leaving them on a benchtop they may be
defrosted in the closed hygienic environment of the Oven.
DEFROST SUGGESTIONS:
This function is ideal for defrosting frozen meats and other freezer
items, and particularly those items which require gentle defrosting.
top
Normal Baking
Function 3: Normal Oven baking using heat from both the
upper element and concealed lower element.
To bake, place the Oven rack in the appropriate position according
to the type of food to be cooked. Turn the Function Selector to
Position 3 and the thermostat knob to the correct temperature,
and allow the Oven to fully preheat for best results.
Ideal for cooking casseroles, soufflés, roast, meats, and
other items which require a slow method of cooking.
top
Fan Forced Baking
Function 4: Fan-forced central element cooking requires
slightly different timing techniques than normal cooking. The
fan draws the air in and over the central element which is positioned
around the fan and then circulates it back around the Oven cavity.
The even distributor of heat allows foods to rise and cook simultaneously
regardless of shelf level. Lower cooking temperatures and in some
cases less cooking time is another advantage of this feature.
Turn the Function Selector to Position 4 and turn the thermostat
to the desired temperature. Pre heating takes much less time than
a normal bake Oven.
Note: When cooking meats, for best results always preheat the
Oven to ensure the meat surface is sealed to lock-in juices for
a moist and tender result.
Fan forced cooking is ideal for multilevel cooking e.g.. patty
cakes. Another advantage of fan forced cooking is that different
types of food may be cooked simultaneously without mixing the
aromas or flavours. When using the Oven in this way, ensure that
all the foods require the same cooking temperature and check the
finish times of each dish for best results.
Please note that fan-forced cooking is faster than conventional
methods, so take care not to burn your food when you first start
using this method.
top
Grilling
Function 5 & 6: During grilling the door may remain
closed or completely open.
This function offers the traditional grilling method necessary
to achieve proper browning without overcooking the interior of
the foods.
Position 5 activates the centre section of the upper grill element
only, which is ideal for browning smaller portions or thinner
cuts of meat.
Position 6 activates the entire upper element for the grilling
of large quantities or thick cuts of meat.
Allow the griller to pre-heat for approx. 2 minutes before sliding
the tray into position.
Place the grill tray into the roasting pan and arrange food according
to the function you have selected, either in the centre of the
tray or spread across the full width of the tray. Position the
tray at the correct grilling level and turn the thermostat control
to MAX for best results.
As the temperature is set to MAX you may need to adjust your grilling
shelf height to suit the desired cooking result. If the tray is
too close to the element, the food will be exposed to the full
effect of the element and may burn and create smoke.
top
Fan Grilling and
Browning
Function 7: Fan grilling opens up new ways to prepare food
by improving the appearance and flavour. Ideal for chicken, meat,
fish and vegetables, as well as sauce-based dishes with cheese
or crumbed toppings.
Arrange food on the grilling pan and place at the appropriate
grilling level. Select Function 7 and turn the thermostat knob
to the desired temperature and close the door of the Oven. Pre-heat
the grill for best results.
The fan works in conjunction with the top grilling element. The
fan forces the heat into the food to cook it through, whilst the
grill element browns the food from above. Even though the food
is cooked throughout, you may wish to turn the food to brown the
underside.
For sauce-based recipes or re-heating we recommend that you use
the third shelf down and set the thermostat to 180°C. Cook until
the crumb topping is brown or the sauce is just bubbling -approximately
20-30 minutes.
Fan grilling is faster than conventional grilling, so we suggest
you reduce heat and time when you first begin using this method
to avoid burning.
top
Patisserie Setting
Function 8: This setting combines the bottom element with
the fan which is ideal for cooking fine pastries, tarts and other
foods which require crisp cooked bases.
The heat is directed at the bottom of the food and the fan assists
the heat to penetrate, cooking the interior without browning the
top. As the bottom element is concealed, it is normal for the
Oven to take a few minutes more than the other fan functions to
heat.
For best results, pre-heat the Oven on Function 3 then turn to
Function 8 when you are ready for baking.

Removing
the Oven Door
Removing the Oven door allows easy access to the interior of the
Oven for cleaning.
To do so;-
At either side of the door, the hinges have two clips which can
be moved. Normally these remain flat against the hinges.
Step 1: Open the door fully, when it is lying flat, place
the clips over part the hinge. (You may need to gently press down
on the centre of the door with one hand to assist with placement
of the clips). The door is now ready to be removed.
Step 2: Grip the door on either side and lift it outwards
and upwards towards yourself. See the illustrations.
Step 3: To replace the door, insert the hinges completely
into the Oven hinge frame. Ensure that the notch sits squarely
into the Oven hinge frame.
Step 4: Unclip the two clips which hold the two hinges.
(You MUST unclip the clips). The door is now in place.
Note: Attempting to close the door while the clips are still
attached will cause damage to the door hinges.

Cleaning
the Oven
GENERAL CLEANING
To keep the brightness of the enamelled parts it is necessary
to clean the Oven after each cooking, let the Oven cool down and
you will be able to easily remove the fat deposits by means of
a sponge or a cloth damp with tepid soapy water or a specific
product found on the market.
Never use abrasive cloths or sponges that could irreparably damage
the enamel. The white parts of the Oven have to be cleaned every
time, otherwise they can turn yellow through the emissions of
fat vapors. After the use, rinse thoroughly with water the parts
in Stainless Steel and dry them with a soft cloth or with a buckskin.
In case of persistent stains, use the normal nonabrasive cleansing
agents or one of the specific products for Stainless Steel or
a little warm vinegar. Clean the glass of the Oven door only with
warm water, avoiding the use of rough cloths.
We recommend you use nonabrasive cleaner for Oven interiors, glass
exteriors, Stainless Steel surface and ceramic Cooktop glass or
a non caustic Oven cleaner.
The spray products for the cleaning of the Oven should never be
used to clean the fan or the sensor of the thermostat placed inside
of the Oven chamber.
To clean the Oven's inner glass, see instructions under "Removing
the door".
CLEANING OF THE Oven DOOR
STANDARD Oven: The inside glass of the Oven is easily dismounted
for cleaning by unscrewing with a coin or with a screwdriver the
two fixing screws (fig. 12).
RUSTIC Oven: For a deeper cleaning of the Oven door, it
is recommended to disassemble the same as is indicated here below:
* open the door completely.
* turn upwards the clamps of the lower hinges and hook the upper
ones:
* close the door a little, then lift it slightly to allow the
lower hinges to come off their slots.
* finally, extract it; also the two upper hinges will come out
of their seats.
After carrying out the cleaning, reinsert the door, proceeding
in the opposite sense.
Attention: during the cleaning operations, do not remove
the sealing packing of the door.
CLEANING THE FAN
Periodically (every 8-10 cookings) the fan should be cleaned with
warm water and suitable detergents:
* unscrew the four screws
* unscrew the central nut
* extract the fan and clean it
Reassemble in the reverse sense, paying attention that the central
seat coincides with the peg placed on the motor shaft (fig. 18).
UPKEEPING
CATALYTIC SELF-CLEANING PANELS
All our Ovens have the possibility to mount self-cleaning panels,
covering the walls. These special panels, to be fixed to the side
and to the back walls, are coated with a special microporous catalytic
enamel, that gradually oxidates and vaporizes the oil and fat
splashes by eliminating them during the cookings over 200°C. If,
after the cooking of very fatty elements, the Oven is not clean,
let it function idling at the highest temperature, until clean.
The self-cleaning panels must not be washed or cleaned with abrasive
products containing acids or alkalis, but only regularly brushed
with a cloth soaked in water. For the purchase of these panels,
contact us.

Drop Down
Grill Element (Extra Optional)
The removal of a single screw at the front of the upper grill
element allows the element to drop down so that cleaning of the
ceiling of the Oven is made easy. On completion of cleaning, simply
replace the grill element and secure with the screw, finger-tight.
To avoid smoking, use a clean, damp cloth to regularly clean oil
and fat splatters from the exposed drop down grilling element.
top
Cleaning
the Oven Glass
To clean the door glass, use a coin or large screwdriver to loosen
the screws. Wipe both sides of the inner, middle and outer glass.
Wipe sealing gasket.
Don't forget to replace the rubber sealing gasket around the centre
glass layer before replacing the glass. Ensure the narrow air
gap lies between the inner and centre glass layers and the wider
gap lies between the centre and outside glass layers.
Tighten each screw gradually, one then the other until firm. Do
not overtighten.
