HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN
HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN

Bake
Fan Bake
Heat comes from one element, at the top and one element at the bottom of the oven. For baked products you will achieve a better result if the oven is preheated first.
Both elements are controlled by the thermostat and will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
This is the traditional method for cooking baked food. One tray of food is usually cooked at any time. Your new Oven may differ in temperature
from your previous Oven and will therefore need some experimentation in the early stages.
Heat comes from one element, at the top and one element at the bottom of the oven. The fan circulates the hot air to be circulated around the oven cavity enabling cooking in a variety of positions at the same time.
The Multifunction system means that some trays of food may brown more quickly than others. Therefore it may be necessary to remove trays at different times.
Fan Bake is suitable for multiple shelf cooking, reheating cooking foods, pastries and complete oven meals.
Defrost
The Defrost function uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fan. This enables food to be thawed without cooking. Defrost is also suitable for rising yeast dough and drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.
HOW TO USE YOUR OVEN

Grill
Warning
Fan Grill
The Grill works by directing radiant heat which comes from the powerful upper element onto the food. Leave the oven door open, at the first stop position, to ensure that the element remains on and does not cycle off. Grill function is suitable for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods.
To use the grill select Grill on the function knob. Set to the required heat by using the Temperature knob. The hottest temperature is achieved at Hi. We recommend that this temperature be used for grilling meats.
For best results when grilling, leave the oven door open at the first stop position.
The grill function cooks a large area of food by using heat from an upper element and is suitable for family meals or larger amounts of food.
Accessible parts may become hot when grill is in use. Children should be kept away.
Fan Grill combines the benefits of both fan bake and traditional grill function. The grill element cycles on and off to maintain the set temperature while the fan circulates the heated air. The oven door remains closed for Fan Grill.
Fan Grill is suitable for products that you would usually pan fry, e.g., meat balls, hamburger patties, sausages. It also cooks large cuts of meat well giving a result that is similar to rotisserie cooked meat.
Dishes such as lasagne, macaroni cheese and desserts such as meringue topped puddings and fruit crumbles also Fan Grill well.
The Fan Grilling Guide will help you with times and temperatures.
You may notice condensation around the vent when Fan Grilling. This is normal and is due to moisture evaporation from your food.
HOW TO USE YOUR COOKTOP
11
Radiant Cooktop
Control
Utensils
The radiant coil cooktop has tubular heating elements. The elements are designed to lift and rotate allowing easy access to the element bowls for cleaning. Replacement bowl inserts are available from the dealer where you purchased your range.
As the control knob is turned from Lo to Hi the heat output is increased. Turn the control knob to Hi to begin cooking, adjusting as necessary.
It is important that the pans are the same size or slightly larger than the element. A pan with a flat base will make better contact with the element resulting in shorter cooking times.
Aluminium and copper cookware can cause a metallic residue to remain on the cooktop. If left this become difficult to remove.
Jagged edges on saucepans or heavy frypans may scratch the element.
Round based woks should NOT be used on radiant elements without a wok ring as they will damage the element bowls.

Grilling Suggestions & Chart
The times given are a guide only and you may need to increase or decrease these depending on your preferences.
The length of time your food takes to grill will be affected by its thickness and temperature.
Always grill with the door open to the first stop position unless fan grilling when the door may be left closed.
The door and hob may become hot. Take care to keep children away. Food to be grilled should be placed on the grill tray in the grill/roast dish and then placed into the grill rack. Addition of water to the pan will cause the food to be steam delaying browning.

ROASTING GUIDE
15
Roasting Suggestions & Chart
Average Roasting Times & Temperatures
A large piece of meat requires fewer minutes per 500g than a smaller piece. Roasting times will be affected by the shape and size of the meat being roasted. Meat with a bone will cook more quickly than a rolled roast.
Always use a roasting dish without a cover and do not add water to your roast as this has a steaming effect.
Use a meat thermometer or meat probe to ensure an accurate result. As the internal temperature of the meat will continue to rise during standing, please allow for this in your calculation. This is particularly important if you want a rare or medium rare roast.
These temperature and times are a guide only and you may need to increase or decrease these depending on your preferences.

CLEANING

Cleaning
Oven Door
Oven & Oven Racks
Oven Light
Fan Cover & Fan
Wipe the outside surfaces frequently using warm water and a household detergent or a spray on, wipe off cleaner.
1. To remove the oven door for easier cleaning, open the door to the first stop position.
2. Lift the door to disengage the hinges by holding the handle only. Do not lift the door in the vicinity of the hinges, as they are spring loaded
and will snap back.
3. To replace, place hinge arms in the slots, lift the door by the handle and push from the bottom of the door to engage the hinges.
Clean the inside of the oven while still warm using household detergents or an ammonia based cleaner, e.g. Handy Andy. "Off the shelf" oven cleaners may be used providing the instructions supplied by the manufacturers are followed carefully.
Turn oven off at wall before touching the oven light. The glass cover can be unscrewed for cleaning. Always replace the glass cover before using the oven.
For cleaning, remove screw from bottom of fan shroud and lift up and towards you. Soak in warm water and detergent, rub with steel wool if badly stained. The fan is removed by turning the centre nut clockwise. Wash, dry and replace. The cover will only fit into the oven in one position. Use the slots as a guide. Refit and tighten the screw.
Warmer Drawer
Cooktop
The warmer drawer can be removed for cleaning. Pull out until it stops, then lift it clear of the Range. We recommend that the warmer drawer is removed or paper towels are placed under the door when cleaning the oven to avoid accidental spills of oven cleaner onto the warmer drawer.
The element bowls should be cleaned regularly to avoid food residue being burned on the enamel. Wipe out using warm water and detergent or a liquid cleaner containing ammonia.
The element bowls have an acid resistant finish but spillovers of acid foods should be wiped up as soon as possible to avoid damaging the enamel.
All surfaces can be wiped with a damp cloth and liquid detergent or non abrasive cleaner.
