defrosting time starts to count down again 
when the door is closed and the START/
AUTO MINUTE key is pressed.

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”.

Example:
To preheat the oven to 180ºC.

1.  Enter the temperature by pressing the 

CONV. (ºC) key 5 times.

2.  Press the START/AUTO MINUTE key 

once to start preheating.

3.  When the oven reaches 180ºC, the audible 

signal will sound and the oven will display 
180ºC. Place food in the oven, enter the 
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 CONV. (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 CONV. (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:
250ºC, 230ºC, 220ºC, 200ºC, 180ºC,
160ºC, 130ºC, 100ºC, 70ºC, 40ºC.

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 

CONV. (ºC) key 4 times.

The display will count down 

through the cooking time.

3.  Press the START/AUTO MINUTE key 

once to start cooking.
