SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

●

Use only dry oven mitts or potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
could result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot areas or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or a bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch fire.

●

Do not heat unopened food containers. They can build up pressure that may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.

●

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 warm weather.

●

Always keep oven vents unobstructed.

●

Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote­control system.

●

Caution: Hot air can blow from the vent at the base of the oven as part of the oven’s
cooling system.

●

Placement of oven shelves: always position shelves in the desired location while the
oven is cool (before preheating). If a shelf must be removed while the oven is hot, do
not let the oven mitts or potholder contact hot heating elements in the oven or the
base of the oven.

●

Do not clean the oven seal or use any oven-cleaning products on it. It is essential for a
good seal, which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or move it.

●

Do not use oven cleaners, harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, or polishes. No
commercial oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven. Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they scratch the surface,
which may result in the glass shattering.

●

Clean only the parts listed in this manual.

●

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.

●

Double oven models only:

●

You can only Self Clean one oven at a time, and whilst in a Self Clean cycle, the other
oven cannot be used.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

●

Before starting a Self Clean cycle, remove oven shelves, side racks, and all other
cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.

●

Before starting a Self Clean cycle, make sure you move any pet birds to another,
closed and well-ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during a Self Clean cycle and may die if left in the same room as the oven
during such a cycle.

●

During a Self Clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for
cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children
should be kept away.

●

Do not store things children might want above the oven. Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on the oven to retrieve items.

●

Do not install or operate the appliance if it is damaged or not working properly. If you
receive a damaged product, contact your dealer or installer immediately.

●

Use only bakeware approved for oven use. Follow the bakeware manufacturer’s
instructions.

●

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to substances which are known by the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Small amounts of harmful chemicals
are given off in the oven’s self-cleaning cycle from insulation and food decomposition.
Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Venting with a hood or open window, and wiping out excess food spills prior to self­cleaning the oven reduces exposure.

COOKING GUIDE

BAKING

●

For best results when baking, always pre heat your oven. The broil element may come
on for a short time while the oven is heating up. The halo will turn from red to white
when the preset temperature is reached.

●

Do not open the door until at least  of the way through cooking.

●

Make sure cake pans do not touch each other or the sides of the oven.

●

When baking double the recipe (especially cookies) you may need to increase the time.

●

Your cookware will influence baking times. Dark pans absorb the heat more quickly than
reflective pans; glass cookware may require a lower temperature.

●

Multi-shelf baking may also require a slight increase in cooking time.

●

Always leave a space between shelves when multi-shelf cooking to allow the air to
circulate.

Shelf Position Guide

Place your baking on a shelf that will have the top of your pan near the center of the
oven cavity.

ROASTING

●

Your oven has a dedicated Roast function (some models only). This is designed to
brown the outside of the meat but still keep the inside moist and juicy.

●

Use the meat probe for perfect results. See ‘Using the Meat Probe’.

●

Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer than roasts containing bones.

●

Poultry should be well cooked with the juices running clear and an internal temperature

●

of 165°F / 75°C.

●

If using a roasting bag, do not use the Roast function. The initial searing stage is too
hot for roasting bags. Use Aero Bake or True Aero and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.

●

When using the Roast function, do not cover your roast, as this will stop the searing
process browning the outside of the meat. If you prefer to roast in a covered pan, use
the Aero Bake function instead and increase the temperature by 70°F / 20°C.

●

Cook larger cuts of meat at a lower temperature for a longer time. The meat will cook
more evenly.

●

Always roast meat fat side up. That way, basting may not be required.

●

Always rest the meat for at least 10 minutes after roasting to allow the juices to settle.
Remember the meat will continue to cook for a few minutes after removing it from the
oven.

Shelf Position Guide

Place the meat on a shelf so that the meat is in the center of the oven or lower.

7

COOKING GUIDE

BROILING

●

This is a healthier alternative to frying.

●

Always broil with the oven door completely shut.

●

If you use glass or ceramic pans, be sure they can withstand the high temperatures of
broiling.

●

To avoid piercing the meat and letting juices escape, use tongs or a spatula to turn the
meat halfway through cooking.

●

Brush meat with a little oil to help keep the meat moist during cooking. Alternatively
marinate the meat before broiling (but be aware that some marinades may burn easily).
Where possible broil cuts of meat of a similar thickness at the same time. This will
ensure even cooking.

●

Always keep a close watch on your food while broiling to avoid charring or burning.

●

The three-piece broil/roast system (some models only) provided with your oven
(consisting of the pan, grid and rack) has been designed to reduce splatter and smoke,
and is therefore ideal for broiling and roasting. We suggest you place meat on the broil/
roast rack (on top of the pan and grid) to allow hot air to circulate around it. This gives
more even browning and a result similar to a rotisserie.

●

On occasions, you may want to use only two pieces of the system. For example, when
roasting a large turkey, use only the pan and grid for greater stability.

Shelf Position Guide

●

For thinner cuts of meat, toasting or browning foods, use a higher shelf position.

●

Thicker cuts of meats should be broiled on lower shelves or at a lower broil setting to
ensure even cooking.

REHEATING

●

Use Bake or Aero Bake to reheat food.

●

Bake function is particularly good for reheating pastry based items, as the base heat will
help re-crisp the pastry case.

●

Always reheat food to piping hot. This reduces the risk of contamination by harmful
bacteria.

●

Once hot, use the Warm function to keep the food warm.

●

Never reheat a food more than once.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

●

You can set the oven(s) to automatically turn on later, cook for a preset time (cooking
time), then automatically turn off at a preset stop time. See the example and
instructions below (steps 1 to 7).

●

If you start cooking manually and only want the oven to turn off automatically after a
set cooking time: simply set the cooking time following steps 1 to 3 below and selecting
a function and temperature. The oven will automatically turn off when the cooking time
is over.

●

Alternatively you can simply set the time of day you wish to the oven to turn off. Follow
steps 4 and 5. The oven will automatically turn off when the stop time is reached.

●

You may have the timer on at the same time as automatic cooking.

●

You cannot use a meat probe when using automatic cooking.

●

Double oven models only: you may set one or both ovens to cook automatically. If one
oven is set for automatic cooking you may still use the other normally.

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.

Example: It is 11:05 a.m. You want your food to cook for 1 hour, and you would like it to
be ready by lunchtime (12:30 p.m).

5 Rotate the locks into the closed position.

2 Align the hinge tongue with the hinge

slots and push the door until you feel
the latches locate into position on
each side.

6 Close the oven door.

IMPORTANT!

Hinge locks should rest inside the

CARE AND CLEANING

Removing and replacing the sliding shelves and side racks

1 To remove a sliding shelf, grip it by its two front corners (making sure you are gripping

the wire shelf and the sliding frame together), tilt upwards and pull it out of the oven.

2 To remove the side racks, gently push the retaining wire from underneath the lock stud,

then swing the lowest edge of the side rack up and out towards the center of the oven
until the rack is almost horizontal. The prongs at the top will slide out of the mounting
slots.

3 To replace the side racks, hold them almost horizontally and locate the prongs into the

small mounting slots at the top of the oven cavity. While you are doing this, support the
rack with your hand from underneath, to ensure that both prongs perfectly locate into
the mounting slots.

4 Lower the side racks carefully and gently place the retaining wire underneath the lock

stud.

IMPORTANT!

Do not lower the side racks until the prongs are fully inserted into the slots so that
you do not chip the enamel.

CARE AND CLEANING

Manual cleaning

ALWAYS NEVER

●

Before any manual cleaning or
maintenance, first wait for the oven to
cool down to a safe temperature to
touch, then turn its power supply off at
the wall.

●

Read these cleaning instructions and
the ‘Safety and warnings’ section before
you start cleaning your oven.

●

To prevent soiling from becoming
‘baked on’ and stubborn, we
recommend removing any easy-to­reach spills, food or grease stains from
the oven cavity enamel after each use.

●

Always clean the inner glass pane
before starting a Self Clean cycle.
Failure to do this will mean that residue
will bake on and be impossible to
remove.

●

Always remove oven shelves and side
racks and nuts before starting a Self
Clean cycle

●

Never use a steam cleaner.

●

Never store flammable substances in the
oven.

●

Never use abrasive or harsh cleaners,
cloths, scouring pads or steel wool.
Some nylon scourers may also scratch.
Check the label first.

●

Never use oven cleaner on catalytic
panels or in a pyrolytic oven.

●

Never leave alkaline (salty spills) or
acidic substances (such as lemon juice
or vinegar) on the oven surfaces.

●

Never use cleaning products with a
chlorine or acidic base.

●

Never spray detergent or liquid onto the
buttons on the control panel. Liquid may
seep behind the button and damage the
electronics.

USING THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION

●

During the pyrolytic Self Clean cycle the extremely high temperature burns off and
breaks down grime and grease deposits. All that is left is a small amount of gray ash that
you can easily remove.

●

There is a choice of Self Clean cycles:

●

Self Clean (5 hours) (for normal soiling).

●

Light Self Clean (4 hours) (suitable for a light or localised soiling).

Double oven models only:

Only one oven can be self-cleaned at a time.
During the Self clean cycle you cannot use the other oven or set Automatic cooking.

IMPORTANT!

●

You must clean the inside glass door panel BEFORE starting a self-clean cycle. Failure
to do this may result in permanent staining or marking of the door glass.

●

Do not use oven cleaners, any degreasing cleaners, or oven liners.

●

Make sure you remove the side racks, oven shelves and trays and all other bakeware
and utensils from the oven before starting a Self Clean cycle. If left in the oven, they
will become permanently discolored or damaged; items made from combustible
materials (eg wood, fabric, plastic) may even catch fire.

●

Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts.

●

Make sure the room is well ventilated.

●

Before starting a Self Clean cycle, make sure you move any pet birds to another, closed
and well-ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given
off during a Self Clean cycle, and may die if left in the same room as the oven during
such a cycle.

●

During a Self Clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for
cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children
should be kept away.

●

The oven door will be locked during the Self Clean cycle (approximately 5 hours).

●

If there are cracks or flaws on any of the oven door glass panes, if the oven seal is
damaged or worn, or if the door does not close properly, do not start a Self Clean
cycle. Call your Authorized Repairer or Customer Care.

40

USING THE SELF CLEAN FUNCTION

To start a Self Clean cycle

1 Remove oven shelves, side racks and all other accessories, bakeware, and utensils.
2 Wipe up any spills. Failure to do so may discolor the oven surfaces.
3 Check the inner glass pane of the oven door. If it has soiling on it (eg stains from greasy

splatter), you will need to clean it manually before starting a Self Clean cycle. For
instructions, see ‘Care and cleaning’.

IMPORTANT!

If soiling is left on the glass, it will become burnt on during the Self Clean cycle,
making it very difficult to remove.

4 Close the oven door firmly.

Double oven models only:

Select either the UPPER or LOWER oven.

IMPORTANT!

Ensure the function dial for the other oven is turned to ‘off’.

code, unless the instructions in the chart following specifically instruct you to. There
are cooling fans within the oven which are needed to cool the oven’s components.
Turning off the power while the oven is too hot may damage the oven and its
surrounding cabinetry.

What to do if an alert code is displayed

1 If the beeping hasn’t stopped already, touch any control to stop it.
2 Make a note of the alert code displayed. You may need this information.
3 Check the chart following to see if you can fix the problem yourself and follow the

instructions.

4 If you can fix the problem and the alert code does not reappear, you can keep using

your oven.

OR

If you can’t fix the problem yourself or the alert code reappears and the problem
persists: wait until the cooling fans have stopped and the oven has completely cooled
down, then turn the power to the oven off at the wall and call your Authorized Repairer
or Customer Care with the alert code information.
