Operating Instructions

Familiarize yourself with the control knobs located on the front panel:

• Temperature Control (Left Knob): Adjusts the oven temperature from 0°C to 300°C. The orange indicator light will illuminate when the oven is heating and turn off when the set temperature is reached.
• Timer Control (Right Knob): Sets the cooking time from 0 to 120 minutes. The oven will automatically turn off when the timer reaches zero. For continuous operation, set the timer to the "ON" position (usually indicated by a bell symbol or infinity sign).
• Grill Function: This oven includes a grill function. When activated, the grill element will heat up, allowing for browning and crisping. Refer to specific recipes for optimal grill usage.

2. Slide the trays into the desired rack positions inside the oven. The spacing between trays is 70 mm.
3. Close the oven door securely.
4. Set the desired temperature using the left knob. The orange indicator light will turn on.
5. Allow the oven to preheat until the orange indicator light turns off, indicating the set temperature has been reached.
6. Set the desired cooking time using the right knob.
7. Monitor the cooking process through the double-glazed door.
8. When the timer finishes, the oven will turn off. Carefully remove the hot trays using oven mitts.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your oven.

1. Before Cleaning: Always unplug the oven from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
3. Interior Cleaning: The enamelled interior is easy to clean.
   • For light soil, wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
   • For stubborn food residue, place a bowl of water inside the oven. Heat the oven to 200°C for a short period. The steam will loosen food particles, making them easier to wipe away with a cloth.
4. Removable Door: The oven door can be easily removed for thorough cleaning. Consult the manufacturer's instructions or diagrams for specific removal steps. Clean the glass with a non-abrasive glass cleaner.
5. Trays and Racks: The baking trays and racks can be washed with warm soapy water.
