GETTING TO KNOW YOUR OVEN

The Control Panel

A - Main Oven Temperature Control
B - Main Oven Indicator Neon
C - Electronic Timer
D - Dual Grill Control
E - Grill Indicator Neon
F - Second Oven Indicator Neon
G - Second Oven Temperature Control

The Cooling Fan for the Controls

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when either of the
ovens are in use. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the
initial period the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

Control Panel Indicator Neons

These lights indicate whether the grill or ovens are switched ON. In the case of the ovens, the neons also
indicate when the set temperature has been reached. The indicator neon will go out when the oven has
reached the set temperature. It will turn on and off during cooking to show that the oven temperature is being
maintained.

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

BEFORE USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

When first switching on

When the cooker is first switched on at the wall the
timer will flash. Press buttons ( and ) together,
while holding them down press (+) button until the
correct time of day is reached.
To use the timer refer to instructions on page 7.

Rating plate

Record the model, product and serial numbers on
the inside back cover of this instruction book from
the rating plate. This is situated on the lower front
frame of the oven and can be seen upon opening
the main oven door.
The oven must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the oven is
given on the rating plate.

The rating plate must not be removed from the
oven front frame as this may invalidate the
guarantee.

Preparing to use your oven

Clean the ovens with a soft cloth and hot soapy
water and wash the grill and oven furniture before
use.
The grill and ovens should be heated without food
to burn off any residue from the elements. To do
this, run the ovens at 220°C for 10 - 15 minutes.
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.

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 be released. 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, oven 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.
Do not place bakeware directly on the second oven
base when the oven is on as damage to the oven
enamel and bakeware will occur.

7. AUTOMATIC COOKING

It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as
short a time as possible before automatic
cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared
food is well within its use by date and that
home prepared food is fresh and of good
quality.

When cooking is complete, do not leave food to
stand in the oven, but remove and cool it
quickly if the food is not to be consumed
immediately.

Fig.15

Always ensure food in the oven has been
covered before cooking if it is not possible to
remove food immediately after cooking.

10

THE DUAL GRILL

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS
IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes,
the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.

USING THE GRILL

1. To operate the grill turn the grill control

clockwise for full grill or anticlockwise for centre
section only.

2. The highest number represents the hottest

setting and the lowest the coolest setting.

3. Ensure the second oven control is in the OFF

position '0'.

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT
OPEN DURING GRILLING. IF
CLOSED THE ELEMENTS WILL
SWITCH OFF AND THE OVEN
LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND OFF
AS A WARNING

THINGS TO NOTE

l

The cooling fan for the controls will operate in

conjunction with the grill. For more information
on the operation of the cooling fan see page 4.

l

The grill indicator neon will glow until the

desired power level has been reached. It will
turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking
showing that the temperature is being
maintained.

l

The outer grill element may appear to glow

slightly brighter than the inner element. This is
quite normal.

l

The cranked shelf MUST only be used in the

grill compartment.

l

Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

11

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.

1. To attach the handle, place the wirework under

the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate
hooks over the top of the grill pan.

2. Slide the handle to the left and over the central

bump on the grill pan.

Ensure the handle is correctly located.
The grill pan handle should be in place
when grilling.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill.

1.

2.

3. To remove the handle, slide the handle to the

right and lift the handle away from the cut out
on the grill pan.

HINTS AND TIPS

l

Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to
lift the food out of the fats and juices. Food
such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed
directly on the trivet or grill pan base if
preferred.

l

Use the trivet to keep fat splashing to a
minimum when grilling meat items.

l

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.

l

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.

3.

l

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

l

When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used with the grid in its 'high'
position.

12

l

Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes
to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat
setting and the shelf as necessary during
cooking.

l

The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.

l

When using the centre section grill, ensure food
is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly
beneath the grill element.

Note

If you require an additional handle for your grill pan,
this can be ordered from your local AEG Service
Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.
