To use – basic oven operation
The oven can be used in a similar manner to a conventional and fan
assisted electric oven to bake, roast and grill food. Fan assisted
modes circulate heated air around the food with faster more even
cooking results and require less cooking time. See food packaging
for suitability for fan assisted cooking.

from any flammable materials. Check that the TIMER knob is in
the ‘OFF’ position.
2. Fully unwind the cable and plug in. For safety do not allow the
cable to dangle over the edge of units.
3. Turn the TEMPERATURE control knob and select the desired
cooking temperature (90 - 230°C).
4. Turn the FUNCTION control knob and select the desired cooking
method.
5. Turn the TIMER control knob, select the cooking time required
and the power indicator will illuminate to show that the cooker is
now operational.
6. Open the oven door and place the food into the oven using the
grill rack and / or baking tray.
Fig. 3 Fig. 4
7. If baking, roasting or using the fan
assist modes, close the oven door.
8. If grilling or toasting leave the oven
door ajar (fig. 5).
9. If the timer has been selected –
when the cooking time has
finished, a bell will sound and the
oven will turn off automatically.
10. If ‘stay on’ has been selected – it will be necessary to turn off the

Tips for successful cooking
Follow cooking instructions on food packaging.
For more accurate timing, preheat the oven for a few minutes
before placing food into the cavity for cooking.
Turn or stir food some foods halfway through cooking process.
Distribute food evenly across the grill rack and baking tray.
The cooking time will vary according to the shape, thickness and
composition of the food.
Smaller pieces will cook quicker than larger pieces. For best
results, ensure pieces of food are similar in size and thickness.
