7
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Caution: Hot air can blow from the vent at the top 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

COOKING GUIDE
BAKING
z
For best results when baking, always pre heat your oven. The halo will turn from red to
white when the preset temperature is reached.
z
While the oven is heating up the grill element may come on for a few minutes. This is to
enable the oven to reach the pre-set temperature more quickly.
z
Do not open the door until at least 3/4 of the way through cooking.
z
Make sure cake pans do not touch each other or the sides of the oven.
z
When baking double the recipe (especially cookies) you may need to increase the time.
z
Your cookware will influence baking times. Dark pans absorb the heat more quickly than
reflective pans; glass cookware may require a lower temperature
z
Multi-shelf baking may also require a slight increase in cooking time.
z
Always leave a space between shelves when multi-shelf cooking to allow the air to
circulate.
z
Use the Warm function for proving bread dough.
z
When cooking food with high moisture content, we recommend using the Vent Bake
function. This will help remove excess moisture from the oven cavity and reduce
condensation formation.
Shelf Position Guide
Place your baking on a shelf that will have the top of your pan near the centre of the
oven cavity.
ROASTING
z
Your oven has a dedicated Roast function. This is designed to brown the outside of the
meat but still keep the inside moist and juicy.
z
Use the meat probe (some models only) for perfect results. See ‘Using the Meat Probe’.
z
Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer than roasts containing bones.
z
Poultry should be well cooked with the juices running clear and an internal temperature
of 75°C.
z
If using a roasting bag, do not use the Roast function. The initial searing stage is too
hot for roasting bags. Use Fan Bake or Fan Forced and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
z
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 Fan Bake function instead and increase the temperature by 20°C.
z
Cook larger cuts of meat at a lower temperature for a longer time. The meat will cook
more evenly.
z
Always roast meat fat side up. That way, basting may not be required.
z
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.
z
Try our new Vent Bake function as an alternative for roasting pork. The drier atmosphere
will help to perfect your crackling.
Shelf Position Guide
Place the meat on a shelf so that the meat is in the centre of the oven or lower.
11
COOKING GUIDE
GRILLING
z
This is a healthier alternative to frying.
z
Always grill with the oven door completely shut.
z
If you use glass or ceramic pans, be sure they can withstand the high temperatures of
the grill.
z
To avoid piercing the meat and letting juices escape, use tongs or a spatula to turn the
meat halfway through cooking.
z
Brush meat with a little oil to help keep the meat moist during cooking. Alternatively
marinate the meat before grilling (but be aware that some marinades may burn easily).
z
Where possible grill cuts of meat of a similar thickness at the same time. This will ensure
even cooking.
z
Always keep a close watch on your food while grilling to avoid charring or burning
Shelf Position Guide
z
For thinner cuts of meat, toasting or browning foods, use a higher shelf position.
z
Thicker cuts of meats should be grilled on lower shelves or at a lower grill setting to
ensure even cooking.
REHEATING
z
Use Bake, Fan Bake or Vent Bake to reheat food.
z
Bake and Vent Bake are particularly good for reheating pastry based items, as the base
heat will help re-crisp the pastry case.
z
Always reheat food to piping hot. This reduces the risk of contamination by harmful
bacteria.
z
Once hot, use the Warm function to keep the food warm.
z
Never reheat a food more than once.
If you wish to finish cooking using the residual heat in the oven
Leave the oven on and reduce the heat to the lowest temperature. Leaving the oven on
will decrease the risk of condensation forming (condensation may cause damage to the
oven cavity and surrounding cabinetry).
12
OVEN FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
z
Depending on your model, you may only have some of these functions.
z
Use all the functions with the oven door closed.
Bake
upper outer and lower elements
z
Heat comes from both the upper and lower elements. The fan is not used in this
function.
z
The venting system remains closed during cooking.
z
Using Bake followed by Vent Bake creates optimum cooking conditions for baking
bread or croissants. We suggest using Bake for the first third of the cook time, before
switching to Vent Bake for the remainder.
z
This function is not suitable for multi-shelf cooking.
z
We recommend that the Vent Bake function is used in combination with Bake when
cooking moist foods. Vent Bake will reduce condensation formation in the oven cavity.
Ideal for single racks of muffins or cookies, sponge cakes, croutons or toasting nuts and
seeds.
Vent Bake
upper outer and lower elements with additional venting
z
Heat is produced by the upper and lower elements and additional oven venting is used
to remove excess moisture, reducing the formation of steam and condensation.
z
Vented baking allows the moisture content of the oven to be reduced, without
compromising the temperature.
z
The venting system results in gentle air movement without the need to use a fan.
z
It provides gentle browning without the `drying out’ effect of a fan
z
Reducing the formation of condensation means it is perfect way to slow cook meat
dishes.
z
You may switch from Bake to Vent Bake for foods that like a moist (steamy) start to the
cooking process and then benefit from a drier finish (such as bread).
Ideal for foods such as:
- meringues, pavlova
- Yorkshire pudding
- finishing off choux pastry, croissants, breads
- slow cooked meat dishes
- poached foods (fish, chicken)
- dishes where initial crisping of the outside is desired (eg pork belly)
13
OVEN FUNCTIONS
Fan Bake
fan plus upper outer and lower elements
z
The oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and the lower elements and
distributes it around the oven cavity.
z
Food cooked tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on the traditional Bake
function.
z
You may need to decrease the time from that recommended in traditional recipes.
z
Use Fan Bake at a low temperature: 50°C for drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Ideal for single shelf baking that takes less than an hour to cook – foods such as muffins,
scones and cupcakes or things like enchiladas.
Grill
upper inner and outer elements
z
Intense radiant heat is delivered from both top elements. There are 9 steps between ‘Lo’
and ‘Hi’ (100% power).
z
Preheating is not essential although some people prefer to allow the element to heat for
a few minutes before they place food under the grill.
z
The temperature halo will remain red while using the grill function.
z
The most suitable function for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top
of potato gratin and frittata.
Ideal for toasting bread or for top browning to ‘finish off dishes’.
14
OVEN FUNCTIONS
Fan Grill
fan plus upper inner and outer elements
z
This function uses the intense heat from the elements for top browning and the fan to
ensure even cooking of foods.
z
Use in combination with separately purchased Rotisserie kit. The slowly rotated food is
basted continuously in its own juices, making it tender on the inside and well browned
and full of flavour on the outside. See ‘Using the rotisserie’ in the User guide.
z
Meat, poultry and vegetables cook beautifully; food is crisp and brown on the outside
while the inside remains moist and tender.
Ideal for whole chicken, tenderloin of beef or grilling your favourite chicken, fish or steak.
Fan Forced
fan and rear element
z
By using the central rear heating element and fan, hot air is blown into the cavity,
providing a consistent temperature at all levels, making it perfect for multi-shelf cooking.
z
Trays of cookies cooked on different shelves are crisp on the outside and chewy in the
middle.
z
Meat and poultry are deliciously browned and sizzling while remaining juicy and tender.
z
Casseroles are cooked to perfection and reheating is quick and efficient.
z
When multi-shelf cooking it is important to leave a gap between trays (eg use shelves 3
& 5) to allow the air to move freely. This enables the browning of foods on the
lower tray.
z
If converting a recipe from Bake to Fan Forced, we recommend that you decrease the
bake time or decrease the temperature by approximately 20°C.
z
For items with longer bake times (eg over an hour) it may be necessary to decrease
both time and temperature.
Ideal for multi-shelf cooking biscuits, cookies, scones, muffins and cupcakes.
15
OVEN FUNCTIONS
Pastry Bake
fan plus lower element
z
The fan circulates heat from the lower element throughout the oven.
z
Excellent for cooking pizza as it crisps the base beautifully without overcooking the
topping.
Ideal for foods such as sweet and savoury pastry foods and delicate foods that require
some top browning eg frittata, quiche.
Roast
fan plus upper and lower elements
z
A two-step program. An initial 20 minute searing stage crisps and browns the roast and
caramelises the outside of the meat, then the temperature drops to the level you have
preset for the remainder of the cooking period, producing a tender and juicy roast that
is full of flavour.
z
Oven does not require preheating.
z
If desired, use the grill rack, splatter tray or place vegetables under the roast to allow
the juices to drain away from your meat. This will allow the hot air to circulate under the
meat as well.
Ideal for Roasting meat, chicken and vegetables.
Classic Bake
(some models only)
lower element only
z
Heat comes from the lower element only, the fan is not used.
z
This is the traditional baking function, suitable for recipes that were developed in older
ovens.
z
Bake on only one shelf at a time.
z
The oven will be hotter at the top.
Ideal for foods that require delicate baking and have a pastry base, like custard tarts,
pies, quiches and cheesecake or anything that does not require direct heat and browning
on the top.
16
Warm
Self Clean
OVEN FUNCTIONS
this is not a cooking function
z
Provides a constant low heat of less than 90°C.
z
Use to keep cooked food hot, or to warm plates and serving dishes. To
reheat food from cold, use another oven function to heat the food piping
hot and only then change to Warm, as this function alone will not bring
cold food up to a high enough temperature to kill any harmful bacteria.
Proving bread
This function is perfect for proving bread dough.
Select the Warm function
Adjust the temperature down until the display shows `Lo’
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap and/or a
clean damp cloth
Place the bowl into the warmed oven on shelf position 1
this is not a cooking function
z
The Self Clean cycle takes care of the mess and grime that is traditionally
associated with oven cleaning.
z
There are two Self-Clean cycles available:
Self clean (which takes 3 hours) for normal cleaning and
Light self-clean (which takes 2 hours) for lightly soiled ovens
z
See ‘Using the Self Clean function’ in the User guide for details.
17
COOKING CHARTS
z
Shelf positions are counted from the base up
(1 is the lowest, 6 (full size ovens) or 4 (compact ovens) is the highest).
Position shelves before you turn the oven on.
z
For best results preheat the oven to the required temperature.
z
The grill element may come on while the oven is heating up.
z
The halo on the temperature dial will change from red to white when the oven has
reached the selected temperature. The display will only show the set temperature once
the oven has finished preheating. The halo may change between white and red as the
oven maintains its set temperature.
