This place is amazing. Got our manual in a few hours. Print quality is excellent. Even the manufacturer didn't have this manual. The price was excellent. How many more stars can I give them? More than satisfied.
This was a very hard to find manual. The unit is long discontinued and Pioneer doesn't retain every manual for every model. Thanks owner's-manual.com!

When the oven is first installed
Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the oven accessories.
F
Once the oven has been installed: a) set the thermostat knob to MAX (250); b) switch the oven function control knob to conventional cooking ( ); c) allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes; d) open a window for ventilation. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of manufacturing. Repeat this operation for the grill and fan cooking function. Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down, then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water.

To open the oven door, always catch the handle in its central part (Fig. 4).
Using the Oven
Always cook with the oven door closed. � � � Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the door using the door handle, until it is fully open. The oven has four shelf levels. The shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven as shown in the diagram. Do not place cookware directly on the oven base. Fig. 5

Telescopic shelf supports (fig. 6)
Mod. ZBS 869: Shelf level 2 is fitted with telescopic shelf supports. 1. Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf supports completely out, as shown in fig. 6. 2. Place the shelf or the grill pan on the telescopic shelf supports, as shown in the diagram, then gently push them all inside the oven. Do not attempt to close the oven door if the telescopic shelf supports are not completely inside the oven. This could damage the door enamel and glass.

Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault with the oven. To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces. Fig. 6
