Important Safety Precautions; Preparing The Oven; Operating The Oven - Exido 251-007 Manual

INTRODUCTION
To.get.the.best.out.of.your.new.oven,.please.read.through.these.instructions.
carefully before using it for the first time. Take particular note of the safety
precautions..We.also.recommend.that.you.keep.the.instructions.for.future.reference,.
so.that.you.can.remind.yourself.of.the.functions.of.the.oven.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•. The.oven.may.only.be.used.for.its.original.purpose,.i.e..for.preparing.food.for.
domestic.purposes.
•. The.oven.is.for.indoor.use.only..
•. Do.not.use.the.oven.if.the.cord.or.plug.is.damaged,.if.it.is.not.functioning.
properly,.or.if.it.has.been.damaged.by.a.heavy.impact.or.similar.
•. Do.not.use.the.oven.if.there.are.cleaning.agent.residues.inside.it.
•. Only.use.accessories.recommended.by.the.manufacturer.
•. Keep.an.eye.on.any.children.in.the.vicinity.of.the.oven.when.it.is.in.use.
•. The.oven.will.become.very.hot.during.use..When.the.oven.is.hot,.only.touch.
the.oven's.door.handle.and.the.controls,.and.be.very.careful.when.handling.hot.
dishes,.accessories.or.foods.–.use.a.potholder!
•. Under.no.circumstances.must.the.oven,.cord.or.plug.be.immersed.in.water.or.
any.form.of.liquid.
•. Make.sure.you.do.not.scratch.the.glass.in.the.oven.door,.and.never.place.
objects.on.the.oven.door.when.it.is.open.
•. Never.try.to.repair.it.yourself.
•. Remove.the.plug.from.the.socket.before.cleaning,.or.when.not.in.use..Always.
take.hold.of.the.plug.–.never.pull.the.cord..
•. Never.move.the.oven.when.it.is.hot.or.contains.hot.oil.or.other.forms.of.liquid.
•. If.the.oven,.cord.or.plug.needs.to.be.repaired,.it.should.be.taken.to.an.
authorised.service.centre..If.the.oven.is.subjected.to.unauthorised.repairs,.the.
guarantee.will.become.void..Please.contact.the.store.where.you.bought.the.
device.for.repairs.under.guarantee..
Positioning the oven
• The oven should be placed on a flat surface, with clearance of at least 10
cm from the sides of the oven (including rear and top) to ensure sufficient
ventilation. The oven is not suitable for fitting in, and you should ensure that
the.vent.holes.on.the.sides.and.top.of.the.oven.are.not.covered...If.these.are.
covered.while.the.oven.is.in.use,.there.is.a.risk.of.it.overheating.
•. Do.not.allow.the.cord.to.hang.over.the.edge.of.the.table/counter,.and.protect.it.
from heat or open flame. Position any extension cord so that it is not possible to
trip.over.it.
•. Do.not.place.the.oven.next.to.hot.areas,.for.example.gas.rings.and.electric.
hotplates.
The.oven.should.not.be.placed.on.untreated.wood.surfaces,.as.it.may.damage.
them.
Fire hazard!
• To reduce the risk of fire occurring in the oven compartment, please note the
following.points:
•. Do.not.cover.the.crumb.tray,.the.heating.elements.or.sides.of.the.oven.with.tin.
foil.
•. Do.not.use.steel.scourers.to.clean.the.oven,.since.it.is.possible.for.steel.
fragments.to.break.off.and.so.increase.the.risk.of.electric.shock.
•. Food.must.not.touch.the.oven's.heating.elements.
•. Only.use.dishes,.tins.and.other.kitchen.utensils.that.are.intended.for.use.in.
ovens, for example, glass, fireproof ceramic or metal.
•. Do.not.use.the.oven.compartment.for.storing.anything.other.than.the.
accompanying.accessories.
•. Do.not.cook.food.for.too.long.or.at.too.high.a.temperature,.and.do.not.leave.the.
oven unattended if it is hot, and baking parchment or other flammable materials
have.been.used.in.the.oven.
• If materials in the oven catch fire, leave the door closed. Switch the oven off
immediately,.and.remove.the.plug.from.the.wall.socket.

PREPARING THE OVEN
Each.individual.oven.is.checked.at.the.factory,.but.for.safety's.sake,.after.unpacking.
the.oven,.you.should.check.carefully.that.it.has.not.been.damaged.during.transport..
Check.whether.there.is.any.visible.damage.(e.g..in.the.form.of.dents.or.similar),.
whether.the.door.(1).closes.properly,.and.whether.the.hinges.are.in.working.order..If.
it.appears.that.the.oven.has.been.damaged,.you.must.contact.the.shop.where.you.
bought.it,.and.do.not.use.it.until.it.has.been.checked.by.an.authorised.specialist..
•. Make.sure.that.you.have.removed.all.packaging,.all.stickers.and.transport.
materials.from.the.inside.and.outside.of.the.oven.
•. Ensure.that.the.oven.is.positioned.correctly.(see.the.safety.measures.above).
•. Plug.in.
•. Wash.and.wipe.the.grill.(9).and.the.baking.tray.before.use.
The.heating.elements.were.oiled.during.manufacture.and.these.will.therefore.smoke.
slightly when the oven is first used. This is entirely safe and will stop after a few
minutes.
However,.so.that.the.food.does.not.taste.of.this.smoke,.we.recommend.that.you.
take the following action before using the oven for the first time:
•. Leave.the.oven.door.ajar.
•. Set.the.function.selector.(5).to.the.upper.and.lower.heating.with.convection.
position,.and.set.the.temperature.control.(3).to.the."HIGH".position.
•. Set.the.timer.(4).to.15.minutes..The.oven.switches.on.automatically.and.is.
switched.off.when.15.minutes.have.elapsed.
The.smoke.will.now.have.completely.disappeared,.and.you.can.use.the.oven.to.
cook.food.
OPERATING THE OVEN
1.. Check.that.the.crumb.tray.(2).is.correctly.positioned.
2.. Place.food.in.the.oven.(unless.the.oven.has.to.be.preheated).
3.. Close.the.oven.door.
4.. Select.the.required.function.using.the.function.selector.(see.the.above.section.
"Function.Selector.Positions").
5.. Turn.the.temperature.selector.to.select.the.required.oven.temperature.
......•...Caution!.The.convection.function.cuts.out.at.temperatures.under.80.°C,.even.
...........if.you.have.selected.it.on.the.function.selector.
6.. Set.the.timer.to.the.required.cooking.time,.OR.turn.it.to.the."ON".position..The.
oven.switches.on.when.the.timer.is.activated..
• Caution! Convection ovens are more efficient than normal ovens. If you use
...........the.convection.function,.then.the.cooking.time.will.most.likely.be.shorter.than.
...........with.a.normal.oven.
......•...The.control.light.(7).illuminates.when.the.oven.is.switched.on.
......•...The.oven.compartment.lamp.(11).can.be.turned.on.and.off.during.cooking.by.
...........using.the.on/off.button.(6).
7.. The.oven.is.switched.off.automatically.when.the.set.time.on.the.timer.has.
passed..If.you.have.turned.the.timer.to.the."ON".position.then.you.must.switch.
off.the.oven.manually.by.turning.the.timer.to.the."OFF".position.
......•...You.will.hear.a.bell.signal.when.the.oven.is.switched.off.and.the.indicator.
...........light.goes.out.
After use
Switch.the.oven.off.after.use,.and.let.it.cool.down.completely.
