The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.

Grill warnings

DO NOT leave grill on unattended.

Fat left on a grill dish is a fire hazard! Keep grill clean and turn off grill immediately after use.

If gas burner does not light in 15 seconds, allow one minute for gas to clear before trying again.

Placing thick portions of food under grill can be a fire hazard.

DO NOT cover the grill dish insert with foil.

Separate grill model: Grill with door open Grill in oven model: Grill with door closed

Oven warnings

2.Grill Control Knob – sets grilling temperature.

3.Oven Control Knob – sets oven temperature.

4.Timer 60 Minute (where fitted) – sets reminder time. When timer returns to zero, timer gives a short ring.

NOTE: for any time below 15 minutes, turn knob past 15 minutes, then back to required time setting.

5.Manual Grill or Oven Igniter or Hotplates

– ignites grill burner, oven burner or hotplates when appropriate control knobs are set.

6.Light Switch (where fitted) – turns oven light on/off.

7.Fan Switch – turns oven fan on/off.

Gas oven conventional baking

The heat comes from the bottom oven burner. The temperature at the centre of oven is the same temperature set on the control knob. When oven is used on this mode, shelf position

is important, (refer to ‘Oven Guide’). As hot air naturally rises, the upper half of the oven will be approximately 10°C higher and the lower half approximately 10°C cooler than the set temperature.

For best results from your gas oven use dark coloured trays and baking dishes on a single shelf. Refer to ‘General Hints and Tips’ section for more information.

For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.

Gas oven fan forced baking

Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional baking. Most recipe books, unless stated, are for conventional oven temperatures. It is recommended when using the fan forced mode to reduce the oven temperature by 10°C.

In a fan forced gas oven the heat comes from the bottom burner. Hot air is distributed by an electrically operated fan located behind the rear wall of the compartment, providing an even temperature on all shelf levels. This means batches of the same food can be baked using multiple shelf positions simultaneously.

Fan Forced operation can be used for single shelf baking with equal success.

For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes before turning on the fan.

6 USING THE GAS COOKER Chef 540 Upright Cooker

LIGHTING GAS HOTPLATE, GRILL AND OVEN

Electronic ignition with flame safeguard

This hob is fitted with mains powered electronic ignition. When the appliance has been connected and the power is on, depressing ignite button will release sparks to all burners.

To light a burner, depress the corresponding knob fully and while continuing to depress knob for approximately 5

seconds, turn anticlockwise to ‘HI’ position. The flame sensor must warm-up in order for the flame to stay alight.

The knob may be released once the flame is established, and turned further anticlockwise to reduce the flame height as desired.

•Before releasing the knob, ensure the knob is fully depressed.

•If the flame goes out when the knob is released, simply repeat the ignition procedure again.

Hotplate Ignition – (Manual)

To light a burner, depress the corresponding knob fully and while continuing to depress the knob approximately 5

seconds, turn anti-clockwise to 'HI' position. At the same time, hold hand-ignitor next to the burner and ignite (hand-ignitors not supplied). The flame sensor must warm up in order for the flame to stay alight

Grill Ignition – Electronic

While pressing the electronic ignitor switch, depress the corresponding knob fully and while continuing to depress the knob for approximately 5 seconds, turn anti-clockwise to 'HI' position. The flame sensor must warm up in order for the flame to stay alight.

Grill Ignition – Piezo

Depress the grill control knob fully and while continuing to depress the knob for approximately 5 seconds, turn anticlockwise to 'HI' position. The flame sensor must warm up in order for the flame to stay alight.

Grill – in Oven

Grill is electric and is operated by control knob only.

Oven Ignition – Electronic

While pressing the Electronic Ignitor Switch, push turn and hold the Oven Control Knob to the desired temperature. Hold Control Knob in for 15 seconds after ignition.

Oven Ignition – Piezo

With the left hand push and hold the Oven Control Knob in and turn it a quarter of the way anti-clockwise. Keep the oven Control Knob pushed in firmly and at the same time push the Oven Piezo Ignitor button on the right hand side of the control panel (several times if necessary). It will make a loud ‘clack’ noise as the Piezo mechanism creates a spark.

Hold control knob in for 15 seconds after ignition. warning

•Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.

•If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob to ‘Off’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try lighting again.

•Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’ settings only.

6.Burner control knob – sets burner temperature.

7.Hotplates ignitor – ignites gas hotplates when appropriate control knobs are set.

Solid hotplates

If present, the red dot in the centre of hotplate changes colour when heated.

When necessary to keep element looking good, apply coating of ‘hot plate protection’ onto solid hot plates.

Ceramic Hotplates

warning

If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

•The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough, durable material that withstands heating and cooling without breaking. However, it must be noted that as it is glass, it may break, and must therefore be treated with care. Should you have any questions about

the glass in your new appliance, please contact the service centre by dialling 13 13 49

•The smooth glass surface has a pattern to show where the elements under the glass are located

•When a hotplate is on, the hot surface warning light will come on. After switching off, this light will continue to glow until the temperature of the hotplate drops below 60°C.

Electric oven conventional baking

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The bottom element is hidden below the floor of the oven. As hot air rises naturally, the upper part of the oven will be approximately 10°C higher than the set temperature and the lower part of the oven approximately 10°C cooler.

For Grill in Oven Models, the grill dish must be removed when baking.

For best baking results, preheat oven for 30 minutes, also refer to ‘General Hints and Tips'.

8 USING THE ELECTRIC COOKER Chef 540 Upright Cooker

using the electric cooker

Electric oven fan forced baking

In a fan forced electric oven the heat comes from the rear oven element. Hot air is distributed by a fan behind the rear wall of the compartment, providing an even temperature on all shelf levels. This means, batches of food can be baked using multiple shelf positions simultaneously.

Fan forced operation can be used for single food baking with equal success.

Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional baking. Most recipe books, unless stated, are typically for conventional oven temperatures. It is recommended that when using the fan forced mode, reduce the oven temperature by 10 degrees (refer to ‘Oven Guide’).

For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.
