Before using your EMILIA EMRENT65E for the first time, you must prepare it to eliminate residues from manufacturing.

1. Remove all packing material and literature from the oven. A protective plastic film may be on the stainless steel both inside and outside; this must be removed.

2. Clean the interior of the oven by wiping it down with soap and water.

3. Switch on the empty oven on the maximum setting to eliminate grease residues. There may be a slight odour at this time. Run the oven on maximum for 1 hour. Open the kitchen windows during this process. If the odour lingers, it will dissipate within a short period of use.

The EMILIA EMRENT65E oven is fitted with side wall guides for positioning trays and racks at 5 different height levels. These guides can be snapped out for cleaning.

Positioning shelves:

• To increase base browning, use a lower shelf level.

• To increase top browning, raise the shelf position.

• Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning.

Removing a shelf:

The oven comes with 2 racks (oven shelves) that have safety stops. To remove a shelf, slide it towards you until it reaches the front stop. Then, tilt it up at the front to clear the side supports and lift the shelf clear.

Installing a shelf:

To install a shelf, reverse the removal process.

If you are cooking on both shelves at the same time, use a function that has the fan operating to allow hot air to circulate.

The EMILIA EMRENT65E oven is supplied with a grill tray and a rack insert. Use the grill insert to allow heat to flow around the item being cooked. Grilling is a relatively short cooking cycle and should not be used for prolonged periods. If the grill overheats, it will shut down. For best results, grill on a middle level and raise the shelf to a higher level for more top heat.

The control panel on the EMILIA EMRENT65E consists of three knobs:

1. Timer Knob: This is a manual minute minder. A bell sounds at the end of the set time.

2. Function Knob: This is the oven function selector. Rotate it to select the best function for your cooking needs. The functions include Defrost, Light, Fan Forced, Fan Grill, and Grill.

3. Temperature Knob: Rotate this knob to select the oven temperature in degrees Celsius.

To start cooking with your EMILIA EMRENT65E oven, follow these steps:

1. Remove the grill tray and any packing materials. Position the oven shelf where you want it to be.

2. Select a cooking function by rotating the Function knob to the function you choose.

3. Select the oven temperature by rotating the Temperature knob to the temperature you desire.

When you have finished cooking, rotate both knobs back to the ‘off’ position. Remember that the cooling fan will continue to run even after cooking is finished and will stop automatically once the oven has cooled.

The EMILIA EMRENT65E oven features the following cooking functions:

Light: Select this function to illuminate the interior of the oven. This is useful for checking on food or for cleaning.

Grill: The top element operates. It is an infrared element ideal for toasting, browning, and general grilling. It operates with the door closed for a recommended maximum cooking time of 30 minutes. The grill will shut down if the oven overheats.

Fan Grill: A fan operates while grilling, which circulates the heated air around the food. This reduces the need for turning the food and works well on thicker cuts of meat. A temperature setting of 180°C and shelf height 3 is recommended. The grill operates with the door closed and will shut down if it overheats.

Fan Forced: Air is forced through a circular element around the fan. This circulates hot air around the oven cavity, allowing for baking on more than one shelf. In some cases, the food may need to be rotated for even browning.

Defrost: The fan circulates ambient temperature air in the oven, allowing you to efficiently defrost your food before cooking. This significantly shortens the time to defrost.

Your EMILIA EMRENT65E oven has a cooling fan feature that keeps all exposed surfaces cool, protects your kitchen cabinets, and reduces the amount of steam vapor in the oven. The cooling fan continues to run after the end of the cooking cycle and will stop automatically once the residual heat in the oven has dissipated.

Yes, here are some tips for dish selection and pre-heating:

Dish Selection and Use: The colour, material, and thickness of a baking dish affect the cooking time. Aluminium, ceramic, glass, and shiny dishes reduce cooking and base browning. In comparison, dark-coloured dishes and enamelled cast iron type heavy dishes increase cooking and base browning.

Pre-heating: For best results, it is recommended to pre-heat the oven for 30 minutes to get it well saturated with heat to the correct temperature. The only exception is when grilling, as that function requires minimal pre-heating.

The EMILIA EMRENT65E oven has a fan inside that circulates the air on fan-assisted functions, which reduces cooking time and energy consumption by recirculating hot steam in the cavity.

During cooking, steam may be produced and released when the door is opened, which is completely normal. To reduce moisture build-up, pre-heat the oven prior to cooking and wipe the oven down after each use. Excessive moisture can damage the oven and cause leakage under the door.

Here are some helpful hints, tips, and warnings for your EMILIA EMRENT65E oven:

• Your new oven may bake or roast differently than your previous one. Experimentation with temperature and shelf position may be needed. A good start is to cook a simple ‘packet’ cake using the exact instructions on the box to understand the oven’s characteristics.

• It is suggested to use a lower temperature setting to start with and then adjust from there. When cooking on multiple shelves, add a bit more time to the cooking cycle.

• Ensure your oven dishes fit before turning the oven on, and allow about 40mm clearance to the side of the oven so hot air can circulate freely.

• Always remove unnecessary trays from the oven when cooking as they affect air flow and performance.

• Cooking in an oven bag can help prevent food from drying out and keeps the oven clean.

Warnings about care and cleaning:

• DON’T touch the elements inside the oven.

• DON’T use strong detergents as they can leave spotting and corrosion marks.

• DON’T use a steam cleaner as it can build up moisture in the oven and electrics.

• DON’T use sharp implements as they can scratch surfaces.

• DON’T use abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool or waxy cleaning agents.

• DON’T use abrasive cleaners on the glass door as this can weaken the glass and may lead to shattering.

• DON’T let fats and oils build up in your oven as they are a fire hazard and can create smoke and nasty odours.

• DON’T let the grill tray build up with fats and oils as they can flare up during the grill cycle.

• DON’T use polyunsaturated oils in the oven as they leave a residue that is much harder to remove.

The timer on the EMILIA EMRENT65E is a minute countdown timer. To use it, rotate the timer control knob to the desired time up to 60 minutes. A bell will ring when the time is up. For very short time periods, it is best to turn the knob past the desired time and then turn it back to the correct time to properly load the timer mechanism.

The following table provides suggested guidelines for cooking various dishes in your EMILIA EMRENT65E. Modify them to suit your experience and personal taste. The times indicated do not include preheating of the oven, which is always recommended. Shelf Position 5 is the top level.

If your food is cooking unevenly, it could be due to the wrong location in the oven, the wrong size tray, or normal heat variations. To fix this, place food in the centre of the oven, try alternative shelf positions, and rotate the food during cooking.

Food burning on top can be caused by the oven not being preheated, oversized baking tins, or food being too close to the top of the oven. To resolve this, always wait for the oven to reach temperature first, use correctly sized tins, and place the food in the centre of the oven.

If food is burning on the bottom, the cause may be a temperature set too high, baking tins that are too large or dark in colour, food placed too low in the oven, the oven door being opened too often, or poor heat distribution. To fix this, reduce the temperature setting, use correctly sized silver-coloured tins, and place the food onto a wire rack in the pan to allow for heat to surround the food.

If your meat and potatoes are not browning, the temperature may be set too high or the food position is too high in the oven. Try reducing the cooking temperature and cooking on a lower shelf height.

This issue is often caused by a cake tin that is too deep or dark in colour. Try changing to a correctly sized tin and a silver-coloured tin.

This can happen if the temperature is set too low, the baking time is too short, or the oven door was opened too early. To prevent this, increase the temperature and the cooking time, and do not open the door until late in the cooking cycle.

Pastry can become too dry if it has been in the oven for too long, causing the moisture to dry out. To fix this, try increasing the cooking temperature by 10 degrees and reducing the cooking time.

A sticky exterior on a cake usually means it is not cooked enough. Try using less liquid in the mix, cooking at a lower temperature, and increasing the cooking time.

Multi-shelf cooking affects the heat transfer through the oven. To achieve more even results, use a slightly lower cooking temperature, remove the food at different times in the cycle as needed, and make sure that the grill tray has been removed from the oven cavity.

To remove the oven door on your EMILIA EMRENT65E, follow these steps. Do not force the door on or off, as you may damage the hinges.

1. Open the door fully until it is flat.

2. Rotate the ‘stirrups’ on each hinge. They lock the hinges open.

3. Slowly close the door against the open stirrups and then remove it from the oven.

To replace the door, reverse this procedure and close the stirrups on each side.

The inner glass is removable for cleaning. Follow these steps:

1. Open the door.

2. Press on the tabs as shown in the manual’s diagram.

3. The top cover will come away, allowing you access to the sheets of glass inside the door.

TIP: If you take the glass out of the door, be careful. The lighter weight of the door will make the hinges feel much stronger. Be sure to reassemble the glass in exactly the same way it came out.

WARNING: Before replacing the oven light, make sure that the oven is disconnected from mains power and has cooled down.

The oven light is a special halogen globe (AC220V-240V, 25W, Cap G9). Follow these steps to replace it:

1. Switch off the oven at the mains switch.

2. Remove the glass cover by unscrewing it from the light socket.

3. Remove the halogen globe by pulling it from the light socket and fit the replacement. NOTE: Over time, the light can become tight in the holder. Use a cloth to protect the globe and gently use pliers to provide leverage if needed, being careful not to break the glass.

4. Refit the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the power supply.

DO NOT touch the new light globe directly with your hands.

To keep the stainless steel finish on your EMILIA EMRENT65E looking new, never use gritty or abrasive sponges. It is highly recommended to use stainless steel cleaners and protectors. Stubborn stains can be removed by soaking in hot water. To prevent stains, use a clean cloth soaked in warm water to wipe up spills before they become cold or dry up. Acidic materials like milk, vinegar, and citrus juice can damage the surface, so wipe up these spills immediately.

Oven spills should be cleaned straight away. Leaving spills can cause permanent damage to the enamel and make them extremely hard to remove later. A non-caustic oven cleaner is recommended. Do not use abrasive scourers, sponges or cleaning products. Wipe the oven out regularly while it is still warm using hot soapy water and a soft cloth or a baby wipe. Removing the side shelf supports makes cleaning easier.

All knobs on the EMILIA EMRENT65E are removable. Clean behind the knobs and the control panel to prevent grease and grime build-up that can cause jamming. The stainless steel panel should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use anything abrasive as it may damage the finish and remove the printed graphics.

Oven Door: The outer glass should be cleaned with a specific glass and mirror cleaner. Soapy water can also work but may leave streaks. Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaners on aluminium door frame components.

Other External Surfaces: Use hot soapy water. To prevent streaks, finish cleaning with a clean cloth using just hot water.

Side Shelf Supports: The side racks are removed by simply flexing the bottom rail off the support and unhooking at the top. To replace, just reverse the procedure.

The grill/top element must never be sprayed with any detergents. A damp cloth and a bottle brush can be used to clean the roof of the oven and the element itself. Never soak the element and always dry it after cleaning to prevent deterioration. It is important to clean this area regularly as fats spit up and stick to the ceiling and element while grilling, which can burn, smoke, and create unpleasant odours.

WARNING: To avoid any potential hazard, the EMILIA EMRENT65E must be installed by an authorized person according to all codes and regulations.
