tips & information

Setting the time

If you have purchased a model fitted with an electronic or programmable timer, you must set the time of day before you can operate your appliance.

3 Button Electronic Clock

•After the appliance has been electrically connected ‘12.00’ will be displayed and the ‘clock indicator’ will flash.

•To set the time of day, press the – or + buttons. 5 seconds after the last change, the “clock indicator” will disappear, confirming the time has been set.

Note: The clock has a 24-hour display.

Preparing your appliance for the first time

•Please remove all internal boxes and bags from the oven before operation.

•Please wipe out the oven interior prior to operation with warm soapy water and polish dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not close the oven door until the oven is completely dry.

•New appliances can have an odour during first operation. It is recommended to ‘run in’ your oven before you cook for the first time. Run the oven at 180°C for 2–4 hours and ensure that the room is well ventilated.

Installing your oven accessories

The type of oven furniture you receive is dependant on the model you have purchased.

1. Side racks

Separate grill wall ovens come with side racks that are to be fitted to the smaller “grill cavity”.

These can be attached to either side in the following manner.

•Insert the largest peg into rear access hole provided.

See diagram above.

•Then locate the front peg into the front access hole and push in firmly.

2. Shelves and trays

Your oven comes with formed “easy clean” runners.

The shelves are designed to travel freely on runners without being pulled out accidentally. Make sure you have the shelf in the correct orientation before you slide it in. Otherwise it could become jammed.

•Locate the rear edge of the shelf in the recess between

2 formed runner. See diagram below.

Note: The Top ‘Ledge’ is not a shelf position

Note the orientation of the side and rear features

•With the front edge raised, begin to slide the shelf into the oven. Lower the front edge as you push the shelf completely in.

•The grill/baking tray for underbench oven models sits into a wire carrier that fits into the oven exactly like the shelves.

•The grill/baking tray for separate grill wall oven models slides into the wire runners in a similar manner.

•When fully inserted, the shelf/tray should not interfere with the closed oven door.

Built-in Cooking BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE 5

before operating your appliance for the first time

•To insert the grill tray in a separate grill underbench, fully open the grill drawer and position the tray so that the slots on the outer edges fit on the tabs on the slides.

•Always remove unnecessary trays and dishes from oven when roasting or baking.

using your oven

Understanding your oven functions

Your oven will have a selection of the following functions. Refer to “Description of your appliance” (page 4) to confirm what functions are available to you.

Fan Forced

Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan. This fan circulates the hot air around the oven cavity so that you can put your food in different places in the oven and still cook them at the same time.

You can use the “fan forced” function for multi-shelf cooking, reheating cooked foods, pastries and complete oven meals. It will cook at a lower temperature and be faster than baking. Please note that some variation in browning is normal.

Bake

Heat comes from the element below the food. The element is controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.

The “bake” function can be used to add extra browning to the bases of pizzas, pies and pastries. Cook in the lower half of the oven when you are using only one shelf.

Defrost

The “defrost” function uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fan. You can defrost (thaw) your food before you cook it. You can also use “defrost” to raise your yeast dough and to dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Turbo Grill

“Turbo grill” offers you the benefits of both “bake” and traditional “grill” functions. The grill element turns on and off to maintain the set temperature while the fan circulates the heated air. The oven door remains closed. You can use “Turbo grill” for large cuts of meat. This gives you a result that is similar to “rotisserie” cooked meat. Put your food on a shelf in the second lowest shelf position. Put the grill dish on the lowest shelf position to catch any spills. When using “Turbo grill” it is not necessary to turn the food over during the cooking cycle. Set temperature to 180°C.

Grill

The “grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element onto the food. You can use the “grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven door closed. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

Maxi Grill

“Maxi grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper elements onto the food. You can use the “maxi grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven door closed.

“Maxi grill” allows you to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and will cook faster than normal “grill”. For best results it is recommended to preheat your grill for 3 minutes. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

Built-in Cooking USING YOUR OVEN 7

using your oven	operating the
	programmable clock

Separate Grill

The “grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper elements onto the food. You can use the “grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven door open. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. The grill dish is to be positioned between the upper pair of support rails.

Cooling/Venting fan

Your built-in appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. It will operate whenever you are using your oven or grill and will blow warm air across the top of the oven door. In some appliances the cooling fan may continue to operate after the appliance is turned off. This is to cool the product.

Condensation

Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may happen when you are cooking large quantities of food from a cold start. You can minimize condensation by:

•Keeping the amount of water used whilst cooking to a minimum.

•Making sure that the oven door is firmly closed.

•Baking custard in a baking dish that is slightly smaller than the water container.

•Cooking casseroles with the lid on.

Note: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn to steam and may condense outside your appliance. This is not a problem or fault with your oven.

Operating your oven temperature selector

A thermostat controls the temperature in your appliance. The temperature can be selected within the specified range. To set the temperature, turn the temperature selector in a clockwise direction to the desired setting. An indicator light above the temperature selector will come on. When the temperature is reached, the heating source switches itself off

and the indicator light goes out. When the oven temperature falls below the desired setting, the heating source switches on and the indicator light comes on again. Once the food is cooked, turn the temperature selector back in an anti-

clockwise direction. Do not force it right round in a clockwise direction as this will result in damage to the thermostat.

Note: For multifunction ovens the desired cooking function must be selected before the oven will operate. Once the desired function has been selected, use the temperature selector to set the required temperature.

Pre-heating your appliance

Pre-heating your oven is recommended in cooking and grilling functions. For best results when baking you must preheat your oven for 30 minutes.

With “Fan Forced”

1.It is recommended to preheat your appliance when cooking or baking.

2.Set the desired temperature, by rotating your oven temperature selector.

When the indicator light above the temperature selector goes out, the oven has reached the desired temperature, place your food into the oven, close the door and set the timer if you desire.

With “grill”

Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best results. This will help to seal the natural juices of steak, chops and other meats for a better flavour.

Setting temperatures

The following table displays the temperature settings for recipes which do not show actual temperatures.

	Oven	Temperature	Temperature
		ºC	ºF
	Cool	80	175
Low Heat	Very slow	100 – 110	210 – 230
	Slow	130 – 140	265 – 285
Moderate	Moderately slow	150 – 160	300 – 320
