Safety and warnings
Important safety precautions
Isolating switch: make sure this oven is connected to a circuit which incorporates an isolating
switch providing full disconnection from the power supply.
Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.
Children, or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a
responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can use
the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings.
Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after
cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take
particular care during warmer weather.
Do not place aluminium foil or dishes with reflective qualities on the oven floor as this will cause
a heat build-up which will irreversibly damage the enamel.
Do not stand on the door, or place heavy objects on it.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the outside surfaces of the oven.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.
Do not stand or place heavy objects on this appliance.
Do not use an asbestos mat or decorative covers between the flame and the saucepan as this may
cause serious damage to your cooktop.
Do not place aluminium foil or plastic dishes on the cooktop burners.
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can deflect heat onto your
benchtop and damage the surface.
Do not let large saucepans, frying pans or woks push any other pans aside. This could make them
unstable or deflect heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface.
Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning this cooktop.
Saucepan handles may be hot to touch. Ensure saucepan handles do not overhang other gas
burners that are on. Keep handles out of reach of children.
If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by an authorised person. Ensure
that the electrical connection plug is accessible after installation.
Where this gas cooktop is installed in marine craft or in a caravan, it shall not be used as a space
heater.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated. Keep natural ventilation holes open or
install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of
a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation
where present.
Only use the griddle on the fish burner.
To prevent excessive heat build up in the cooktop area, cooking times on the griddle should be
limited to 1 hour.
The barbeque cover (accessory) must not be used as a cooking surface.
Fat left on the lava rocks or in the tray may ignite. If flame flare-ups become excessive during
cooking turn down the temperature. The barbeque grid, rock tray and lava rocks should be cleaned
after every use.

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

Oven shelves
Shelf positions
Shelf positions are numbered from the
top down. The top positions are for
grilling functions and middle shelves
are suitable for baking and roasting.
Do not cook or place anything on the
oven floor.
Shelf supports
The shelf supports hold the wire
shelves, the grill/roast pan and the
glass tray.
Important!
For all shelf positions except 7, which
has shelf slides, make sure you fit
shelves, the grill/roast pan and the
glass tray between the metal runners
of the shelf supports, as shown in
Fig.6.
The oven shelves and the grill/roast
pan have a ‘stop notch’ so that you do
not accidentally pull them right out of
the oven. Make sure you put the stop
notch towards the back of the oven, as
shown in Fig.7.

Shelf slides
Shelf slides in shelf position 7 give
easy access to the most commonly
used shelf position for baking and
roasting. The shelf slides can hold
the wire shelves, grill/roast pan
and the glass tray.
Step-down shelf
The step-down oven shelf increases shelving flexibility and
maximises the useable space in the oven. Using the
step-down shelf in the bottom shelf position is excellent
for quiches and pastry tarts.

Baking tray
The baking tray is suitable for biscuits and
baked goods.
Three-piece grill/roast system
The three-piece grill/roast system (made
up of the pan, grid and rack) is designed to
give superior cooking results and to prevent
hot fat and juices in the pan splattering
throughout the oven. All pieces can be used
together as one complete unit, or in different
combinations.
Glass tray
The multipurpose glass tray is made
from toughened glass to withstand high
temperatures. It is suitable for roasting and
grilling, and can also be used as a serving
dish. The rim on the tray makes it easy to
handle. The glass tray will not distort or
corrode, and it will not shatter into small
pieces if knocked.
Pizza stone and paddle
Your pizza stone will allow you to cook
homemade pizza like those from an
authentic pizza house, with a crispy base
and moist toppings.
To use, place the pizza stone in the oven on
a wire shelf in position 7.
Turn oven to FAN BAKE
the temperature specified in your recipe
and preheat for 30-45 minutes. The hotter
the stone, the crisper the pizza crust will
be. Mix 1-2 Tbsp of flour and 1-2 Tbsp of
semolina/coarse cornmeal and sprinkle this
onto the pizza paddle. This will prevent the
pizza dough from sticking to the paddle
when you slide the dough from your
paddle onto the hot stone.

Preheat the grill for five minutes before using it.
You can grill with the oven door open slightly, at the first ‘stop-position’, or closed. Grilling may
be slightly quicker with the oven door open. Closing the door will help to contain cooking
smells and save energy.
Place food on the three-piece grill/roast system, and slot it into one of the upper shelf positions
(see the ‘Grilling chart’ for the most appropriate shelf).
The higher you place the food, the faster it will cook and brown.

Baking
Your Galaxy oven gives you an outstanding choice of baking options (see ‘Cooking functions’).
Tips for successful baking
Preheat the oven while you prepare your food – many baked items should not be left long
before baking.
Read the recipe and assemble the ingredients on the bench before you start.
Use baking paper to line cake pans and biscuit trays, to eliminate the need for greasing.
See the ‘Baking chart’ for suggested times, temperature and shelf positions.
For best results use the trays supplied with your oven.

Important!
Some recipes recommend putting water or ice in the oven with bread dough during baking. The additional
moisture improves the bread crust. You must place the water or ice in a dish on an oven shelf. Do not put it
directly onto the oven floor. Placing water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor can irreversibly
damage the enamel.

Your Galaxy oven is equipped to handle a variety of roasts.
Tips for successful roasting
When cooking large cuts of meat, times and temperatures are based on 30 minutes per
500 g/1 lb. Times and temperatures given below are guidelines and small adjustments may be
necessary.
Roasting times will be affected by the shape, size and temperature of the meat being roasted.
Meat with a bone will cook more quickly than a boneless roast.
Do not add water to your roast, as this steams the meat.
For perfect results, use a meat probe or a meat thermometer.
Let all roast meats and poultry stand for 10-15 minutes at the end of cooking before carving.
This allows the meat fibres to relax. Fewer juices will be lost when it is cut and the meat will be
juicier and more tender. To keep the meat warm, cover with foil.
The meat will continue to cook during standing, so allow for this in your calculations (this is
particularly important if you want a rare or medium rare roast).

Before using the cooktop/hob
Fig. 10 Galaxy cooktop/hob
Before using your Galaxy cooktop clean it with
warm soapy water and a soft cloth to remove
dust. Check that the electricity is switched on
in order for the electronic ignition to work.
Choose the cooktop control knob for the
burner you want to use. Press down and turn
the knob anti clockwise all the way to the
HI symbol. Hold down the knob for 5 seconds
until the burner lights. All the igniters will
spark until the gas ignites on the selected
burner. The flame can be adjusted anywhere
between the
Do not regulate the flame between high and the
HI symbol and the LO symbol.
OFF position.
If the cooktop/hob does not light
Check that the power is switched on allowing the electronic ignition to work.
Check that the burner rings are placed correctly.
Clean electrode tips with a toothbrush and methylated spirits.
The wok burner may need a moment to stabilise the inner ring of flame.
Check that you know how the flame failure device works (see below).
Check the gas supply is turned on.
Galaxy cooktop/hob
If the burner has not ignited within 15 seconds, stop operating the igniter and wait at least 1
minute before attempting a further ignition of the burner. In the event of the burner flames
being accidently extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the
burner for at least 1 minute.
Safety features
Your Galaxy cooktop has a flame failure safety device fitted. A metal probe behind the burner
generates a small electrical current when a flame is present. After 5 seconds the metal probe
gets hot enough to hold a valve open and maintain the gas supply. If the flame is blown out
then the gas to the burner is cut off. To operate the flame failure you need to hold the burner
knob down for 5 seconds after the burner has ignited. Letting go of the burner knob too soon
will extinguish the flame.
Flame failure cooktop models have two probes at the back of the burners, one will be the
spark electrode and the other is the flame failure probe.
Cooktop/hob utensils
To get the best out of your Galaxy cooktop follow these simple suggestions:
Do not use an asbestos mat between the flame and the saucepan as this may cause serious
damage to your cooktop.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the burners.
Saucepans should have thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take
longer to cook. Heavy saucepans may bend the trivets/pan support or deflect the flame. Match
the bottom of your saucepans with the cooking zone and see that it is stable. This will give you
the most efficient cooking. Do not let large saucepans or frying pans over lap the bench as this
can deflect heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface.
For the simmer (auxiliary) and semi rapid burners pots should be larger than 12cm in diameter.
The griddle burner may be used with pots 18cm in diameter and above. The wok burner is
primarily designed for woks but may be used with 17-23cm diameter pots with care. A fish
kettle on the griddle burner is not only useful for fish, but for steaming long vegetables like cobs
of corn, asparagus, Chinese broccoli and long beans.

Using the barbeque
The Galaxy Barbeque provides the extreme heat needed to create the caramelised, juicy
barbequed flavour achieved on an outdoor barbeque. The Galaxy Barbeque has a full range of
heat settings from LO to HI. Turn the control knob clockwise to HI to begin cooking. Reduce the
temperature when you are cooking by turning the control knob anti-clockwise. Preheat the grill
for at least 10 minutes so that the barbeque grid and lava rocks can reach a suitable cooking
temperature.
For initial browning of foods or searing of meat the temperature should be HI, and turned
down to a lower temperature during the cooking period. Larger pieces of meat may need to be
cooked at a lower temperature to allow the meat to cook through. During cooking, do not leave
the Barbeque while it is on. Turn to
(Off) at the end of the cooking time.
Barbeque first use
Wash the barbeque grid in warm water. Use a scouring pad to remove any residue that might be
on the grid. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Place the supplied lava rocks in the rock tray, position the
rock tray on top of the drip pan and place under the element.
Cooking tips
To minimise flame flare-ups trim the fat off the edges of steak, chops and poultry.
Lean mince is best for hamburgers. Steaks are best cooked for a short time on a high heat to
sear the outside and leave the inside tender. For a more well done steak, sear on HI, then turn
down to cook through.
When adding marinades and sauces, reduce the heat and add near the end of cooking.
Use long handled utensils to turn your meats.

Using a griddle
Cooking with a griddle
A griddle is ideal for cooking a variety of foods. The surfaces of a cast-iron griddle will become
more and more non-stick as cooking oils become baked in. This ‘seasoning’ process can be
started by coating both surfaces of the griddle with cooking oil and baking in the oven at 150
O
(300
F) for about an hour.
Heat the griddle for a few minutes before using.
Brush the food, not the griddle, with oil, to reduce splatter and smoking.
Cook steak and vegetables at high temperatures on the ribbed side of the griddle. Turn the steak
only once, about halfway through the cooking time. To test, press the surface of the steak. The
softer the meat is, the ‘rarer’ or less well done it will be.
Griddle scones, pancakes, pikelets, polenta and eggs are best cooked slowly at medium to low
temperatures on the flat side of the griddle.
O
C
Important!
Prolonged cooking with the griddle at high temperatures may damage the cooktop.
Cleaning a cast-iron griddle
Leave the griddle to cool before cleaning. Scrape away any food residue and wash in warm soapy
water.
Do not scour to the bare metal when cleaning the griddle or you will remove the non-stick
coating that has built up during cooking.
Dry the griddle thoroughly and wipe with a thin coating of cooking oil to prevent rust forming,
especially when the griddle is new.

Care and cleaning
Cleaning the outside of the Galaxy
Important!
Do not use abrasive cleaners or a steam cleaner on the outside surfaces of the Galaxy oven.
Before cleaning the outside of your Galaxy oven, we recommend you turn it off at the wall. Wipe
the outside surfaces often, using warm water and a household detergent and/or a stainless steel
cleaner and polish.
Cleaning the inside of the oven
Important!
Before you start cleaning inside your oven/s, please:
Read these cleaning instructions and the ‘Safety and warnings’ section at the start of this guide.
Turn the Galaxy oven off at the wall.
Make sure the Galaxy oven is a safe temperature to touch.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the inside of the oven/s.
Do not use any oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based cleaners or detergents on the
self-cleaning oven liners. See ‘Caring for the self-cleaning liners’.
It is easier to clean the oven while it is still warm, using household detergents or an ammoniabased cleaner. You may use ‘off the shelf’ oven cleaners, if you carefully follow the manufacturers’
instructions.
To make cleaning easier, you can remove the wire shelf supports, the oven door, and the fan
cover. The top element also drops down to make cleaning the oven roof easier.
Removing and replacing the oven door

Care and cleaning
Removing and replacing the oven lamp
Always turn the Galaxy off at the wall before touching an oven lamp. To clean the oven more
easily, pull off the glass cover. If you need to replace the light bulb, simply unscrew it.
Removing and replacing the shelf supports
Push the shelf slides in position 7 back into the oven.
1
To remove the shelf supports gently push the retaining wire from underneath the stud then
2
swing the lowest edge of the shelf support up and out towards the centre of the oven. The
prongs at the top will slide out.
To replace the shelf support, hold them horizontally and locate the prongs into the small slots at
3
the top of oven cavity.
Lower the shelf support and gently place the retaining wire underneath the stud.
4
Important!
To avoid chipping the enamel – do not lower the shelf supports until the prongs are fully inserted into the
small slots at the top of the oven.
Cleaning the shelf slides
27
Important!
Do not wash the shelf slides in the dishwasher. Do not immerse them in soapy water, or use oven cleaner on
them. Removing the ‘white’ lubricating grease will reduce the life of the shelf slides and prevent them from
running smoothly.
Wipe the shelf slides with a damp cloth and a mild detergent only. Do not wipe off or wash away
the ‘white’ lubricating grease (you can see this when the slides are extended).
Caring for the self-cleaning liners
Self-cleaning liners are supplied with some models of the Galaxy oven. They help reduce
manual oven cleaning. The liners are coated with a special enamel which is porous and contains
oxidising catalysts.
Any grease and dirt coming into contact with the liner is absorbed by the enamel and is broken
down with the help of the oxidising catalysts at normal cooking temperatures.
As cleaning is improved by using a high temperature, it may be necessary to occasionally run the
empty oven on FAN GRILL
at 200 °C for 1 to 11/2 hours.
28
Care and cleaning
Cleaning the cooktop/hob
Use warm soapy water for cleaning when the cooktop is cold. Apply soapy water with a soft
sponge or cloth. Do not use steel soap pads as these may dull the appearance of your appliance
over time. Trivets/pan supports can be washed in the dishwasher. Abrasive cleaners may
damage the stainless steel, trivets/pan supports and the knobs. After cleaning, wipe dry with a
clean cloth to ensure the surface is thoroughly dry. For extra shine, use a stainless steel polish.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on any part of the cooktop as these may damage the cooktop.
The burner and burner caps can be cleaned in hot water, it is important that the holes are kept
clear. When replacing the burner rings after cleaning, turn the rings until the positioning teeth
are placed correctly. Be careful of sharp edges at each end of the cooktop/hob.
Cleaning the barbeque
Place the barbeque grid in hot water with a small amount of detergent when cool to touch. If
there is food residue left on the Grid, scrub with a wire barbeque brush to remove it.
Make sure that the Barbeque Grid is completely dry before replacing.
The rock tray, lava rocks and drip pan can also be removed and washed to get rid of any build
up of fat and food. Lift up the element when cool to touch, to remove the rock tray & drip pan.
Fat that accumulates in the tray lip can be removed by wiping with a paper towel. Clean the lava
rocks by boiling for 20 minutes in a large container of water and dishwashing detergent. Sun dry
and replace. The rocks will change colour after use.
