Safety and warnings

Operation

Your oven has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal cooking procedures. Please keep the following safety instructions in mind when you are using it:

WARNING!

Electrical Shock Hazard

Turn the oven off at the wall before replacing the oven lamp. Failure to follow this advice may result in death or electrical shock.

Fire Hazard

Follow the instructions on starting a Self Clean cycle carefully. Items made from combustible materials (for example: wood, fabric, plastic) may catch fire if left in the oven during a Self Clean cycle. Do not place aluminium foil, dishes, trays, water or ice on the oven floor during cooking, as doing so will irreversibly damage the enamel; lining the oven with aluminium foil may even cause fire. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured or a fire could start. Storage in or on appliance: flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near its surface.

Failure to follow this advice may result in overheating, burning, and injury.

WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard

Accessible parts may become hot when in use. To avoid burns and scalds, keep children away. Use oven mitts or other protection when handling hot surfaces such as oven shelves or dishes. Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in colour. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns among these surfaces are the oven vent, the surface near the oven vent, and

the oven door.

Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.

WARNING!

Cut Hazard

Take care - some edges are sharp.

Failure to use caution could result in injury or cuts.

Safety and warnings

Important safety instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the oven, follow the important safety instructions listed below:

Read all the instructions before using the oven. Use the oven only for its intended purpose as described in these instructions. Proper installation: be sure your appliance is properly installed and earthed by a qualified technician. 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. Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. Children of less than 8 years old must be kept away from the appliance unless continuously supervised. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and they understand the hazards involved. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children without supervision. Do not place heavy objects on the oven door. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose fitting or hanging garments when using the appliance. They could ignite or melt if they touch an element or hot surface and you could be burned. User servicing: do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the fire or flame or use a dry chemical or foam type extinguisher. 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 remote-control system.

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 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. 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 wellventilated 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.

First use: conditioning the oven

It is important to condition your oven before using it for cooking and baking. Conditioning will burn off any manufacturing residues and ensure that you get the best results right from the start.

Make sure you have set the clock.

Slide in the shelves and the grill tray. See ‘Using your oven’ for instructions.

Heat the oven for:

30 minutes at 200

15 minutes at 200 oC using Fan Grill

There will be a distinctive smell while you are conditioning the oven. This is normal, but make sure the kitchen is well ventilated during the conditioning.

Once cooled, wipe out the oven with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and dry thoroughly.

Oven functions

Off

Selecting this will turn the oven off.

Bake

This is the traditional method of baking. It is best to bake on only one shelf at a time in this function. Ideal for large cakes and dishes that bake for several hours.

Fan Bake

Ideal for dishes like lasagne that need to brown on top and also single trays of small cakes or biscuits that bake in less than an hour.

Grill

Grill is the most suitable function for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top of potato gratin and frittata. Use Grill to toast bread or to grill your favourite chicken, fish and steak. Note: heat levels are from LO (50% power) to HI (100% power), with settings from 1 to 9 in between. Grill provides instant radiant heat, so the temperature dial halo will stay red.

Fan Grill

Ideal for roasting tender cuts of meat and poultry. Use the lower shelf positions for larger items eg a whole chicken.

Fan Forced

Great for multi-shelf cooking. The consistent temperature ensures baking is well risen. Cookies baked on Fan Forced are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle.

Pastry Bake

Excellent for sweet and savoury pastry foods, for moist breads and brownies and cookies that you want extra chewy.

Wa rm

Use this function to keep cooked food hot and to warm plates and serving dishes. To reheat food from cold, use a cooking function at 150°C, then switch to Warm set between 70-90°C only when the food is piping hot. Note: this function is not for cooking food and the temperature cannot be set higher than 90°C.

Rotisserie

Rotisserie is a delicious way to cook meat and poultry. The slowly rotating 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’.

Self Clean

The Self Clean cycle takes care of the mess and grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning. See ‘Using the Self Clean function’ for details. Note: this is NOT a cooking function.

Using the rotisserie

When you have finished using the rotisserie

Set the temperature.

We recommend around 210 °C.

Turn the oven off.

Using oven mitts, carefully disengage the right end of the skewer from the rotisserie drive hole.

Slide out the grill tray and place it on a heat-resistant surface.

Twist the handle onto the left end of the skewer.

Lift the skewer off the supports by the handle.

Loosen the fork screws and slide the meat off the skewer.

Tips for using the rotisserie

For food safety reasons, we do not recommend using the rotisserie with stuffed meat. If your meat is too big or heavy (over 6 kg) for the skewer, place it on top of the grill rack in the grill tray, and use Fan Forced Use a meat thermometer to ensure that meat is cooked through to a safe temperature. See ‘Care and cleaning’ for advice on cleaning the rotisserie parts.

. This function will give a result similar to a rotisserie.
