Main
Fan Oven

Your built in cooker comprises of an oven with conventional and fan assisted option and dual grill in the
top compartment. The top oven is convenient and economical for mid-week use because of its size.
The main fan oven is the larger of the two ovens. It is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities
of food.
The main fan oven can be automatically controlled by the electronic timer.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

Your cooker has a cooling fan fitted behind the
controls to prevent them from overheating.
The cooling fan will come on immediately with
the grill or when thermal grill is selected and
after a short time when either of the ovens are
in use.
The cooling fan may turn on and off when the
cooker is in use. This is quite normal.

The cooling fan may run on after the ovens or
grill are switched off for a period of time to cool
the cooker down. It may continue to switch on
and off until the cooker is cool.

Always allow the cooling fan to cool
the cooker down before switching off
at the wall prior to carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance work.

NOTE

The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the ovens or grill have been used and
at what temperature. It may not switch in at all
at lower temperature settings nor run on where
the grill or oven has only been used for a short
time.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR
NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens or grill
are switched on. When the grill or ovens are
switched on the neon illuminates. In the case of
the ovens, the neons also indicate when the set
temperature has been reached. They will turn
on and off during use to show that the
temperature is being maintained.

The grill neon does not turn on and off when
the grill is in use.

The Fan oven neon does not operate with the
Defrost function.

The Fan Selector neon operates when the Fan
Selector button is set. It does not turn on and
off when in use.
The Selector neon will illuminate with all Top
oven functions, except the conventional oven.

If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and re-set following
the instructions for the required setting.

When the main fan oven has been set for
automatic cooking the neon will illuminate when
cooking begins.

7

BEFORE USING THE COOKER

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The timer must be set to manual operation
before the main fan oven can be operated. This
must be done whenever the cooker is switched
off at the wall or when there has been a power
failure. For instructions on how to set the timer
see page 11.
If the Fan oven indicator neon does not glow
when the oven temperature control is turned, it
is most likely that the timer is set for automatic
cooking.
The Top Oven and the Dual Grill are not
controlled by the electronic timer.

RATING PLATE

Record the model, product and serial numbers
of your cooker on the back page of this
instruction book for future reference. You can
find these numbers on the rating plate on the
front frame of the cooker upon opening the top
oven door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably
rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the
cooker is given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the
cooker as this may invalidate the guarantee.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR
COOKER

Wipe over the base of the ovens with a soft
cloth and hot soapy water and wash the grill
and oven furniture before use.
We suggest that you run the oven elements for
10 - 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any
residue from their surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill
for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.

THE FAN SELECTOR BUTTON

The Top oven enables you to cook with the
oven fan in operation or by conventional
means. Push the Fan Selector button in for fan
assisted cooking. Push the button out for
conventional oven cooking. Refer to the
appropriate oven section for full instructions.

IN FOR FAN ASSISTED

OUT FOR CONVENTIONAL

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens
are vented to allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand back from the
cooker when opening the oven doors 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 cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is
quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the
cooker.
To prevent discolouration occurring, regularly
wipe away condensation and any soilage from
the cooker surfaces.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the
back of the oven.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x
35cm (12" x 14") as they will restrict the
circulation of heat and may affect performance.
Advice on the effect of different materials and
finishes of bakeware is given in 'Hints and Tips'
in the appropriate oven section.

THE TRIVET

When roasting we recommend that you use the
trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will
drain into the meat tin below and can be used
to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.

Note. The meat tin should not be placed on a
heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel
to crack.

2. Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or

anticlockwise for the centre section only.

GRILL

DUAL GRILL

3.Ensure the Top Oven control is in the Off

position '0'.

The grill door must be left open
when grilling.

THINGS TO NOTE

The cooling fan for the controls will operate
as soon as the grill control is turned. For
more information on the operation of the
cooling fan turn to page 7.
The outer section of the grill element may
appear to glow brighter than the inner

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan has a removable handle.
To insert the handle, press the button on the

handle with the thumb and pivot the handle
slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part
of the bracket. Move the handle towards the
left, lower into position and release the button.

Ensure the handle is positively located.

To remove the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb and pivot the handle
slightly upwards and towards the right to
remove from the bracket.

Protect your hands when removing
the grill pan handle.

Always remove the grill pan handle
during grilling.

To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf,
ensure that the cut out on the underside of the
handle bracket locates over the front bar of the
shelf.

The Grill Pan must not be located in
the shelf runners

To check the progress of the food being grilled,
the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to
attend to food during cooking.

Ensure that you support the grill pan
when it is withdrawn.

HINTS AND TIPS

Most foods should be placed on the grilling
grid in the grill pan. This allows maximum
circulation of air by raising the food out of fats
and juices. Foods such as fish, liver and
kidneys may be placed directly on the trivet in
the grill pan if preferred.

Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food.
Position the food close to the element for
faster cooking and further away for more
gentle cooking.

16

The grill pan grid is reversible. This is useful if
you want to cook foods of varying thickness.
As a general rule, bread for toasting should
be placed on the grid in the ' high ' position in
the grill pan. Foods such as chicken pieces or
chops may be grilled using the grilling grid in
the low position.

Food should be thoroughly dried before
grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean
meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted
butter to keep them moist during cooking.

Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats.

The food should be turned over during
cooking as required.

The grill door must be left open when grilling.
For convenience the grill door can be left
ajar.

Preheat the grill on full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position
as necessary during cooking.
