The oven has top and bottom grills which can be
used separately or combined. These have one
power setting only. The grill is assisted by the
turntable which rotates simultaneously to ensure
even browning.
Use the racks for grilling small items of food such
as bacon, gammon and teacakes, turn over
halfway through grilling.
Food can be placed either directly onto the
racks, or into a flan dish/heat-resistant plate on
the high rack.

To select the grill(s) required (Top, Bottom or
Combined), enter the grilling time and follow the
table below.

NOTE: When new, the very first time the

grills are used, smoke and odour will
be given off.
To avoid this happening when food is
being cooked, heat the grills without
food for approx. 20 minutes.

NOTES:
• It is not necessary to preheat the grill before

cooking.

• Follow the recommended grilling times and

procedures in the charts on page 39 of the
cookbook section.

• When browning foods in a deep container,

place on the turntable or low rack.

• After cooking is complete the cooling fan will

continue working for a short time to lower the
temperature of the electrical and mechanical
parts. The display may show “NOW
COOLING”.

To preheat the oven to 180ºC.

1. Enter the temperature by pressing the OVEN

(ºC) key 5 times.

2. Press the START/AUTO MINUTE key

once to start preheating.

desired cooking time and press the
START/AUTO MINUTE key.

NOTES:
• When the oven reaches the desired

temperature, the audible signal will sound and
the temperature will be displayed in ºC.
Do not press the STOP/CLEAR key after
opening and closing the door, as this will
cancel the Convection mode.

• The preheated temperature will be maintained

for approximately 30 minutes.
After this time, preheat will be cancelled.

• During preheating and convection cooking, you

will hear the cooling fan cycling on and off.
This is completely normal and will not affect
the cooking.

• You can check the actual temperature during

preheating by pressing the OVEN (ºC) key.
The temperature will appear on the display.
This will not affect the oven operation.

• If you prefer not to preheat the oven where

recommended in the cookbook section, allow
extra cooking time.

Your oven can be preheated to a
desired temperature prior to
convection cooking.

NOTES:
• Follow convection times and procedures in the

charts and recipes in the cookbook section.

• Food manufacturers instructions are only a

guideline, so cooking times may need to be
adjusted.

• Pressing the OVEN (ºC) key during cooking

will display the programmed temperature. This
will not affect the programme or cooking time.

• Temperature measurements taken whilst the

oven is in convection mode will differ from the
displayed level. This is due to the grill elements
turning on and off in order to regulate the
oven temperature. This will not affect the
cooking results as long as the operation manual
and cookbook are followed correctly.

• After cooking is complete the cooling fan will

continue working for a short time to lower the
temperature of the electrical and mechanical
parts. The display may show “NOW COOLING”.

• Heat generated by the oven during convection

cooking may cause the backplate of the oven
to discolour. This is completely normal and will
not affect the performance of the oven.

• This oven is not suitable for baking Yorkshire

Puddings.

• Convection cooking is ideal for roasting and

baking.

• When using the CONVECTION key, all

metal cookware can be used. (See ‘Suitable
Cookware’ on page 28).

Your oven can be programmed
to cook with ten different
temperatures by combining the
top and bottom grills with the
convection fan. (Please refer to
the notes below.)

The temperatures available in ºC are:

Example:
To cook for 20 minutes at 200ºC convection. 

1. Enter the cooking time by pressing the 

10 MIN. key twice.

2. Input the temperature by pressing the

OVEN (ºC) key 4 times.

The display will count down

through the cooking time.

3. Press the START/AUTO MINUTE key

once to start cooking.
