SAFETY AND WARNINGS

Your built-in oven has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal cooking
procedures. Please keep the following guidelines in mind when you are using your
oven:

WARNING!

Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect the oven from the power supply before any cleaning or
maintenance.
Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock.

WARNING!

Cut Hazard
Take care - some edges are sharp.
Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock.

!

!

WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot when in use.
To avoid burns and scalds, keep children away.
Use oven mitts or other protection when handling hot surfaces such as
oven shelves or dishes.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven. Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in colour. Interior surfaces
of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating
elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns ­among these surfaces are the oven vent, the surface near the oven vent,
and the oven door.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.

USING YOUR OVEN

13

Depending on your model, your oven may only have some of these functions.

OVEN LAMP

Only the oven light comes on. It remains on in all the cooking functions.

BAKE

This is the traditional method of baking. It is best to bake on only one shelf at a time in
this function. Ideal for large cakes and dishes that bake for several hours.

GRILL

Use with the oven door closed and the temperature set no higher than 225°C. For best
results, use the shelf position 4 when you want quick browning (eg toast).

DEFROST

Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the temperature set to off (O). The fan circulates
air around the oven, speeding up the defrosting process by approximately 30%. Note:
this function is not for cooking food.

FAN FORCED

Great for multi-shelf cooking. The consistent temperature ensures baking is well
risen. Cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle, meat and poultry are
deliciously browned and sizzling while remaining juicy and tender.

FAN GRILL

Use with the oven door closed and the temperature set no higher than 220°C. Ideal for
roasting tender cuts of meat and poultry. Use the lower shelf positions for larger items
eg a whole chicken.

OR WARM

Use this function to keep cooked food hot and to warm plates and serving dishes.
To reheat food from cold, set the temperature to 150°C and reduce it to 70-100°C
only when the food is piping hot. Note: this function is not for cooking food and the
temperature cannot be set higher than 150°C.

FAN BAKE

Ideal for dishes like lasagne that need to brown on top and also single trays of small
cakes or biscuits that bake in less than an hour.

OVEN FUNCTIONS

14

IMPORTANT!

Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and
after cooking or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may
cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.

Notes on baking:

●

Preheat the oven before baking.

●

Do not place anything, including water, ice or aluminium foil on the oven floor.

●

If you have a fat filter, remove it before baking.

Using the fat filter (not supplied with the oven, purchased optionally)

●

Use the fat filter only when roasting meat and poultry on Fan Bake, Fan Grill or

Fan Forced. It helps to keep your oven clean and reduces splatter and smoking.

●

Clean the fat filter after every use. See ‘Care and cleaning’.

●

Remove the fat filter before baking: gripping the top flap, slide up to unhook it from the
rear panel.

●

To replace the fat filter: align with the circle in the rear panel, then slide down to hook
into place.

IMPORTANT!

If the fat filter is not cleaned after every use, the grease build-up will block and
shorten the life of the fan element.

Please note:

●

The settings in the following charts are guidelines only. Follow the instructions in your
recipe or on packaging and be prepared to adjust the oven settings and baking times to
achieve the best possible results for you.

●

Shelf positions are counted from the oven floor up (1 is the lowest, 4 or 6 the highest).

●

Arrange oven shelves before you turn the oven on, then preheat the oven to the
required temperature (until the temperature indicator light goes out).

●

Full ovens are ideal for multi-shelf baking or larger items.

●

Compact ovens are the ideal and most energy-efficient choice for baking small or flat
items (eg cookies, pizza) on a single shelf; however, they have not been designed for
multi-shelf baking.

●

Settings in bold indicate the recommended oven function.

Baking chart - full ovens

●

The shelf positions recommended below use the flat oven shelf (not the step-down
shelf).
Note: the flat oven shelf and step-down shelf are not supplied with all models.

CARE AND CLEANING

IMPORTANT!

●

Always disconnect the oven from the power supply before any cleaning or
maintenance.

●

Electronic clock models: When you turn the power back on after cleaning, you will
have to set the clock.

●

Do not use abrasive cleaners, cloths or pads to clean any part of your oven. Some
nylon scourers may also scratch. Check the label.

●

See the following pages for instructions on removing and refitting different parts of
the oven for cleaning.

●

Before cleaning, make sure the oven is a safe temperature to touch.

●

Do not use a steam cleaner.

WHAT? HOW? IMPORTANT!

General
advice

●

Wipe out the oven after every
use.

●

Wipe up spills as soon as the
oven is a safe temperature to
touch.

●

Avoid leaving alkaline or
acidic substances (such as
lemon juice, vinegar or salty
spills) on the oven surfaces.

●

Do not use cleaning products
with a chlorine or acidic base.

Stainless
steel
surfaces

1 Wipe the soiling off with a

cloth using a mild household
detergent or stainless steel
cleaner.

2 Wipe the surface dry.
3 Use a suitable stainless steel

polish.

Immediately wipe off any caustic
cleaners if they are spilled onto
the oven door handle or the
knobs.

External
glass
surfaces

Wipe with a damp cloth or use a
glass cleaner.

Do not use harsh abrasive
cleaners or sharp metal scrapers
since they scratch the surface and
may result in the glass shattering.

Oven cavity
(enamel)

1 Remove everything from the

oven: all shelves and trays, the
side racks, the catalytic panels
and fat filter if supplied.

2 Remove the oven door (see

instructions on following pages).

3 Wipe the inside of the oven

using a household detergents or
an ammonia-based cleaner.

4 Wipe clean with a damp cloth

and allow to dry completely.

●

To make cleaning the oven
ceiling easier, the grill element
in some full ovens can be
lowered. See Fig. 19.

●

If using ‘off the shelf’ oven
cleaners, always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Side racks,
oven
shelves,
trays

●

Clean these using a solution of
detergent and hot water. They
are also dishwasher safe.

●

If badly soiled, soak in a solution
of hot water and biological
clothes washing powder to
make cleaning easier.

25

CARE AND CLEANING

WHAT? HOW? IMPORTANT!

Side catalytic
panels (not
supplied with the
oven, purchased
optionally)

●

If you roast or grill a lot of
meat and hardly ever bake,
heating an empty oven for
60-90 mins at 250

o

C on
Bake from time to time will
help the panels to break
down any greasy soiling.

●

To remove large food
particles: gently wash the
panels in warm soapy water.
Rinse in clean water and
allow to dry naturally.

●

If the panels become
oversaturated, they will
appear shiny and their
ability to ‘self-clean’ will be
reduced. In this event, they
can be reversed.

●

These panels are normally
‘self-cleaning’ because
their special enamel breaks
down greasy splatters when
the oven is used for ‘non­greasy’ baking, especially at
high temperatures.

●

Never use scourers, brushes,
abrasives or cleaners with
acid or alkali content on the
catalytic panels.

Sliding shelf
supports (not
supplied with the
oven, purchased
optionally)

Wipe with a damp cloth and
mild detergent. Do not wipe
off or wash away the white
lubricating grease (visible when
the slides are extended).

Do not wash these in the
dishwasher, immerse in soapy
water, or use oven cleaner on
them as doing so will remove
the white lubricating grease
and prevent the slides from
running smoothly.

Fat filter
(not supplied
with the oven,
purchased
optionally)

●

If lightly soiled: wash in
dishwasher (normal cycle).

●

If heavily soiled:

1 Place under water in a pan.
2 Add two tablespoons of

clothes washing powder.

3 Bring to the boil.
4 Leave to soak for 30

minutes.

5 Rinse in clean water and dry.

Clean after every use. If the
filter is not cleaned, the grease
build-up will block and shorten
the life of the fan element.

Rubber seal
framing the oven
cavity

Wipe very gently with a damp
cloth and mild detergent.

●

Take care not to unhook
and displace the rubber seal
while cleaning it.

●

Take care not to spray
any oven cleaner or other
caustic cleaner on the
rubber seal, as doing so
may damage the rubber.

Knobs

1 Wipe with a damp cloth and

mild detergent.

2 Dry thoroughly with a soft

cloth.

Do not use stainless steel or
oven cleaner on the knobs, as
doing so may damage their
coating.
