This "runs theoven in". During this time there may besome smell from the mineral wool thatinsulates the oven and there could besome smoke. This is perfectly normal.

Normal use- Always close the door properly. The ovenis fitted with a seal designed to work with aclosed door.- Never lean or let anyone sit on the ovendoor when it is open.- The oven parts and accessories canbecome hot when the door is left partiallyopen and the grill on. Always keep childrenat a safe distance.- When the oven is on it will get hot. Takecare not to touch the heating elementsinside the oven.

- Always protect your hands with ovengloves or something similar when removingfood, accessories or containers from theoven.- Do not line your oven with kitchen foil.The metal will increase the heat producedand could ruin the food and damage theenamel.- Before carrying out the pyro-cleaning ofyour oven, be sure to remove all ovenaccessories and wipe away major spillage.- Do not use a steam or high-pressurecleaner.- During the cleaning cycle accessiblesurfaces become much hotter than duringnormal cooking. Keep children at adistance.- Always check that the oven is off beforeyou clean the inside.

- For your safety your oven is equippedwith an AUTOMATIC STOP should youinadvertently forget to turn off your oven.After 10 hours' operation, the AS(Automatic Stop) function is activated andyour oven stops heating.

Anti-tip safety shelfFood can either be placed on the shelf in adish or cake tin for cooking or browning. Thisshould be used for grilled meat (which shouldbe placed directly on it).

Multi-purpose baking tray (reserved for pastries)This tray has a raised edge and can beused for baking pastries (choux buns,meringues, small cakes, flaky pasties, etc).Inserted in the runners under the shelf, itcatches the cooking juices and fat fromgrilled meat. It can also be used half-filledwith water as a double boiler. Joints should not be cooked in this trayuncovered because fat could spit all overthe oven sides.

Multi-purpose baking tray(dripping pan)This is used to catch the cooking juicesand fat from cooking carried out in the highgrill or pulsed grill settings. It can also beused as a cooking dish for suitably sizedjoints (for example: a chicken surroundedby vegetables, at medium temperature).Inserted under the shelf,this pan catchescooking juices and fat from grilled food. Itcan also be used half filled with water as adouble boiler.

45 mm multi-purpose dishFully accessible sliding railsystem

Thanks to the new sliding rail system withsupport (fully accessible) handling food ismore practical and easier as the trays canbe effortlessly removed for simplerhandling. The trays can be completelyremoved, providing full access. Theirstability ensures that food can be handledsafely, reducing the risk of burns. Thismeans that you can take food out of theoven far more easily. The drip tray at thebottom of the oven collects the juice andfat from roasting, and can be used half-filled with water as a bain-marie. Do notplace meat or poultry directly on the driptray for roasting. This would inevitablyproduce splashes and dirty the sides of theoven.

Fan assisted base(recommended temperature 205°C min. 35°C max. 275°C)

• Cooking controlled by the bottom elementcombined with a slight dose of the grill andthe fan.• Cooking heat from the bottom with asmall amount of heat from the top. • Place the grid on the lowest shelf support.• Recommended for moist dishes (quiches,juicy fruit tarts, etc...).The crust will be thoroughly cooked on thebottom. Recommended for dishes that rise (cakes,brioche, kugelhopf...) and for soufflés thatwill not be hampered by a crust formed onthe top.

Combined heat(recommended temperature 205°Cmin. 35°C max. 275°C)

• Cooking is controlled by the upper andlower heating elements and by the fan.• Rapid temperature increase: Somedishes can be placed in the oven while it isstill cold.• Recommended for meats, fish andvegetables, preferably placed in aterracotta dish.

Fan grill (recommended temperature 200°Cmin. 180°C max. 230°C)

Connecting upAs a specialist, you alone are competent toinstall and connect up ASKO appliances.Our guarantee therefore applies only andexclusively to appliances which have beeninstalled and connected up by you inaccordance with the provisions of currentregulations.

Failure to meet this requirement wouldincur the fitter's liability and release theASKO company from any liability.

The electrical connections are made beforethe oven is installed in its housing.• The oven must be connected using anapproved 3-core cable (live, neutral andearth) with 1.5 mm square conductors.This should be connected via a 3- pin-socket (live, neutral, and earth to the mainsupply which should be should be a 220-240V, alternating single-phase current.If the oven is not connected using a plugand socket, it must be connected to amulti-pole switch with a minimum gap of3 mm between contacts. The earth wire(green and yellow) should be connected tothe terminal marked with the earth symbol

on the appliance and to the earth in theswitch.• Where the oven is connected using aseparate plug and socket this must beaccessible after the oven has beeninstalled.• The neutral wire (blue) of the oven mustbe connected to the neutral in the mainsupply.• Tighten the clamp to hold the cable.• Close the trapdoor using the two screws.

• The supply cable (H05 RR-F, H05 RN-For H05 W-F) must be long enough to allowthe oven to rest on the floor in front of itshousing.

With the oven sitting on the floor anddisconnected:• Open the trapdoor at the bottom righthand side at the back of the oven byremoving the 2 screws and swinging thedoor away.• Remove the sheath from each wire in thenew cable up to 12 mm.• Twist the ends carefully together.• Unscrew the terminal screws and removethe wires that need changing.• Pass the new cable through the wireclamp to the right of the terminals.• Connect the wires up in accordance withthe markings on the terminals.• Make sure all wires are trapped under thescrews.• The brown wire (live) going to terminalmarked L.• The green and yellow wire (earth) goingto the one marked .• The blue wire (neutral) going to theterminal marked N.• Tighten the screws and check, by tuggingon each wire, that they are firmlyconnected.• Tighten the clamp to hold the cable.• Close the trapdoor using the two screws.

Housing

NBThe oven may be housed either undera work surface or built into a columnthat is open* or closed with a suitableopening.

Your oven works at its best and producesexcellent results when cooking andcleaning itself, if its air circulation is notcompromised:• The oven must be centred in the unit sothat there is a minimum distance of 5 mmbetween it and the surrounding unit.• The housing unit or its outer surface mustbe capable of withstanding heat.• To ensure the oven rests firmly in thehousing, screw it to the housing unit usingthe holes on the side uprights provided(see diagram).

To do this:Remove the rubber stoppersmasking the fixing holes.

To prevent the housing unitsplintering, drill two holes 3 mm indiameter in the wall of the housing

unit opposite the fixing holes.Attach the oven using the twoscrews.

Conceal the hole using the rubberstoppers. (These also help tocushion the closing of the oven

door).(*) If the housing unit is open at the back, the gapmust not be more than 70 mm.
