EASY DECISION
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced over 600 mm apart. The space either side of the cooker needs only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing. It can be used with cabinets on one side or both sides as well as in a corner setting. It can also be used free-standing.
FEET
The feet are packed inside the oven cavity. Fix by angling the cooker slightly and screwing into the 4 corners of the base panel. Adjust the cooker to the appropriate height, then fit the cooker into place. The cooker should be level and stable when installed, otherwise adjust the height of the appropriate foot.
ANTI-TILT KIT
To stop the cooker from being accidentally toppled over, an anti-tilt bracket must be fitted. First take the anti-tilt bracket, screw and plastic plug (as per figure 1). Fix the anti-tilt bracket to the floor 50mm in from the rear wall and 50mm from the side wall or cabinet (as per figure 2). Push the appliance into position so that the appropriate foot slides into the bracket (as per figure 3), fixing it in place so the appliance cannot tilt away from either wall.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The control knob decals are printed on the bezels at the base of each control knob. When you first run your oven a certain smell will be emanated arising from the insulation materials and the heater elements. For this reason, before using your oven, run it empty at maximum temperature for 45 minutes. At the same time you need to properly ventilate the kitchen or environment in which the oven is installed. In order to cook in your oven, the oven function and temperature setting control knob needs to be adjusted. The oven timer needs to be set to either fully anti-clockwise (one stop past off) for manual, or set with a period of time between 0-120 minutes, otherwise the bottom oven will not operate. Turn your appliance off when it is not in use. Protect your appliance from atmospheric effects. Do not leave it under the effects of the sun, rain, snow, dust etc.
USING THE OVEN
Note: The control knob decals are printed on the bezels at the base of each control knob. Choose an oven function with the oven function control knob (off at the top, with 9 other functions). Chose an oven temperature setting using the thermostat control knob. The temperature ranges from 0⁰C (top) to >200⁰C (rotated fully clockwise), depending on the function. Place the food into the oven. Set the timer to either manual (rotate the timer control knob fully anti-clockwise) or set up a timer function (rotate the timer control knob clockwise to the desired setting). All of the above settings can be adjusted at any time during the cooking process. If a timer function has been set, once the time runs out, a buzzer will sound and the oven will turn off. If a timer function was not set, the cooking process can be stopped by turning the timer control knob to the top position. Note: Turn all control knobs to point up when cooking has finished.

USING THE COOKTOP HOT PLATES
Note: The control knob decals are printed on the bezels at the base of each control knob.
The cooktop elements of the appliance are each controlled via a knob on the control panel. Each element is represented by a filled in rectangle on the decal just above the control knob. LO : Heat maintenance position. MED : Heating in low temperature position. HI : Cooking, frying and boiling position. Position the control knob so the indicator is pointing upwards (off). Rotate the control knob clockwise to increase the heat delivered from the element. Rotate the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the heat delivered from the element.
When an element is turned off, the residual heat indicator turns on (these are positioned centre front of the ceramic cooktop, one for each element). This will turn off after the glass above the element cools down. Do not touch the glass around the elements during or after cooking until the residual heat indicator turns off, as the glass will remain hot for some time.
Pans with flat base are highly recommended. Also, the size of the pans must be in line with the size of cooktop elements for most efficient usage. Always centre the pans on the elements. Using small sized pans on the large sized heating elements will cause heat loss and so energy will be wasted.
After using any cooktop element, please make sure that it is switched off. Do not let children come too close while the cooktop is hot or in operation. Clean the cooktop with a warm, damp, wet cloth after use, but ensure the hotplates are off and not too hot. If there is excessive spillage, you can clean the cooktop with a warm, damp, slightly soapy cloth (e.g. dishcloth). Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers to clean glass, as scratches in the glass can cause it to break. Never fill a pan more than 1/3 full of oil. Always dry food before frying. Never use gauze, metal pan diffusers or stands over the hobs, as they can cause the elements to overheat. Do not use trivets not supplied by Everdure for use with this appliance. Never place aluminium foil on the glass while it is hot.

COOKING GUIDES
NOTE: Rack positions are numbered from 1 at the bottom to 5 at the top.
For optimum cooking keep edges of baking dishes and pans at least 4cm from the sides of the
oven. This allows free heat circulation and ensures even cooking.
Where possible remove large cuts of meat 1kg or over from the fridge 1 hour prior to cooking.
Allow, to stand covered and away from direct sun/heat. This process will take the “chill” of the fridge away from the food and assist in more even cooking.
Cooking Pizza
For the best results when cooking pizza use the Lower and Upper Heat Element function (Convection) and the lowest oven shelf position. Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes.
Use a non-stick pizza pan, ideally one with holes in the base specifically for pizza cooking. Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking. If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), it is recommended that the mozzarella cheese be
placed on top halfway through the cooking process. Remember the best pizzas are made with a less is best method when choosing the topping ingredients.
Check the base is crispy by lifting the pizza pan from the oven with a heatproof glove and lifting
the pizza with an oven slide to look at the pizza base. Return to oven if further cooking is required.

EASY DECISION
Grilling
Cooking times may vary according to the nature of the foods, their homogeneity and their volume. When cooking a certain food for the first time, it is advisable to choose the lowest temperature and then increase temperature as required. When using the griller functions on the top oven – adjust the shelf position as required for the best results. As a guide the grill functions have an average temperature of 200C when the top oven door is closed during grilling.
Roasting Meat, Cooking Chicken and Fish
Ideally, meat should be at least 1Kg or more when roasting in order to prevent it from drying out. When cooking white meat, poultry and fish, use temperature settings (180°C-220°C). For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy on the inside, it is a
good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards and finish off.
When larger cuts of meat, poultry or fish have finished cooking, ideally remove the food from the
oven and cover with foil and stand for 10-20 minutes (depending on size). This will help retain the juices when the meat is carved.
When cooking large whole fish 1kg or larger it is recommended that the flesh be scored or slashed
2-3 times on either side to assist in more even cooking. To do this cut into the thick fish flesh behind the head through to the bone. These scored areas also allow you to check easily to see if the fish is cooked.
It is a good idea to either measure the inside of your oven for width and either write this down in a
book you may have with you when shopping or you can cut a piece of string the oven width. This makes it easier to know if your fish will fit into the oven. Looks can be deceiving and the fish looks so much better whole with its head and tail. If it doesn’t fit you will probably need to remove the head prior to baking.
Cakes and Baking
Organize the oven shelves while the oven is cold and before preparing a recipe. When baking follow the directions in the recipe however if in doubt, as a general rule, the food (e.g. cake) is positioned on a shelf that will have the top of the cake surface as near to the centre of the oven as possible. However when using the top oven the only position for cakes and baking is on the shelf position 1.
Preheat oven before preparing the cake or baked items as some baked food should not sit waiting
for the oven to reach the required temperature. For best results the baked food should go straight into the preheated oven at the correct temperature.
Use kitchen baking paper to line cake tins and baking trays for cookies and roast vegetables such
as pumpkin.
When making cakes have eggs at room temperature. When making sponge cakes don’t tap the beaters on the side of the bowl when the beating is
complete as this will knock out precious air you have just spent time adding. Remove the beaters from the hand mixer and tap them over the edge of your open palm to knock any remaining cake mix into the bowl below.
14
Page 15
EASY DECISION
Pavlova and Meringues
Eggs should be at room temperature. Ensure that the bowl and beaters to be used are super clean and have no grease, oil or fat on
them as this will retard the beating and peak forming process.
It is a good idea to crack the eggs to be used one at a time over a small bowl to separate the egg
yolks and whites. That way if a yolk does break it will not end up in your main bowl of egg whites.
When making pavlova or meringues don’t tap the beaters on the side of the bowl when the
beating is complete as this will knock out precious air you have just spent time adding. Remove the beaters from the hand mixer and tap them over the edge of your open palm to knock any remaining mix into the bowl below.
Line baking trays with kitchen baking paper. When they are cooked, remove the tray from the oven and use a very flat spatula to loosen the
food from the baking paper. Return the Pavlova or meringues to the oven and allow to stand overnight or until the oven is cold for best results.
Think about using the remaining egg yolks to make homemade mayonnaise.

CLEANING
NOTE: Cleaning and maintenance operations must only be carried out when the oven and cooktop are cool. The appliance should be isolated from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process. Before starting to clean your oven or cooktop, be sure that all control knobs are off and your appliance is cooled off. Do not use cleaning materials containing particles that might scratch the enamelled and painted parts of your oven. Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners, which do not contain particles. As these cleaners may damage the surfaces, do not use caustic creams, abrasive cleaning powders, rough wire wool or hard tools. Before using the cleaning materials check whether they are appropriate and recommended for use by the manufacturer on your oven. In the event of any excess liquids spilling over your oven surface during cleaning, clean up immediately so as to prevent possible damage to the enamel or metal surface. Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the oven.
CLEANING THE OVEN You will obtain best results if you clean the oven interior while the oven is slightly warm. Wipe the oven with a soft cloth that had been dampened in soapy water after each use, then wipe it with a wet cloth once more and then dry it. It may be required to use a liquid cleaning material from time to time and completely clean the oven. Do not clean with dry and powder cleansers. To remove the side shelf supports, undo the screw at the bottom of the support and remove. Angle the support up and then pull the hooks at the top of the supports out of the holes. To replace, repeat these operations in reverse.
CLEANING THE COOKTOP Any residues that are left on the cooktop surface from cleaning agents may damage it. You should remove any residues with water and a little washing up. Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the cooktop surface. The cooktop should be cleaned using water and a little washing up liquid. Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the cooktop surface is still warm, you should take extra care not to burn yourself. It is recommended to only clean the cooktop when cold.
AFTER EACH USE Wipe the appliance over with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid. Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth. For non-stainless steel cooktop surfaces, a mild, non abrasive cream cleaner may only be used.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the oven does not operate:
The oven may be off at your switched outlet. The timer may not be set to the manual function or have the timer set to function.
If the interior lighting lamp does not light:
The lamp may be defective. If defective, you can change it following the instructions within this
manual.
Cooking (if lower or upper part does not cook equally):
Control the shelf locations, cooking period and heat values according to the manual.
Unit smoking when first used:
This is a result of protective oils being removed and is to be expected with a first use.
Condensation build-up on the oven door:
Clean off with dry soft cloth.
If you still have any problems with your product, please call your Authorised Service Centre.
TRANSPORTATION
Keep the original carton of the product and use these if the item needs to be transported. Follow the transport signs on the carton. Tape cardboard or paper onto the inside face of the glass as it will be prone to damage from the trays. Use cardboard covers for the wire grill and trays in your oven. Also tape the oven’s covers to the side walls. Always add protection around the ceramic cookplate. If the original carton is unavailable, take measures to protect the external surfaces (glass and painted surfaces) of oven against possible blows, as well as the above.
