Before using the ovens for the first time:
Remove all packaging and accessories from inside the ovens.

Heat the ovens to 200˚C for 1½ hours to burn off manufacturing residues.

The automatic programmer must be set to Manual mode for ordinary cooking.

The oven will not function when set in Automatic mode. See page 20.
To use the ovens:
1 Turn the function selector knob clockwise to the desired function. The orange
light will illuminate, indicating that the element is on.
2 Turn the temperature selector knob clockwise to the desired temperature. The
orange light will go out once the oven has reached temperature and is ready for
use. It is normal for this light to go on and off during cooking as the elements
maintain the temperature.

Steam may be generated when cooking. As a precaution, always open the door in
two stages. First, partially open the door by 100mm for a few seconds to allow
the steam to escape, then open the door fully. Keep your face and head away
from the door when opening.
Never line the oven interior with foil as this can cause overheating and
damage the enamel. Never cook on the oven base. Always place dishes and
trays onto an oven shelf. Do not leave the grill pan or other dishes on the
oven base as damage to the oven may occur.
OVEN FUNCTIONS
When using any of the functions in the multifunction oven (except grilling and
defrosting) it is always recommended that you pre-heat the oven using the
Quickstart function, before switching over to your desired cooking function.
When using the Fan Assisted or True Fan oven function, it is advisable to
reduce the oven temperature by 20˚C if following a recipe written for a
conventional oven. Check the food often through the latter stages of cooking
until you are used to the cooking times and temperatures.
Britannia ovens have a range of cooking functions providing different heat zones.
The 'True Fan' function, for instance, is most suitable for cakes, desserts and
batch baking. The 'Fan Assisted' function gives more browning so is more
suitable for roasting meats and vegetables or frozen potato products.
To cook a turkey:
When cooking a turkey, the grill pan can be used as a roasting tin. Line the pan
with a double layer of extra wide foil, allowing enough foil to wrap the turkey
loosely. It is important to allow enough space around the sides and top of the
oven for the hot air to circulate. Make sure that the foil is not touching the sides
or top of the oven. In a 60cm oven a turkey of 9 to 11 kg (20 – 24 lb) can be
cooked. In a 40cm oven a turkey of 6 – 9 kg (13 – 20 lb) can be cooked. N.B. The
maximum weight for the rotisserie is 3.5kg (8lbs)
