Only
When power is fi rst connected to your oven: The time of day “(0:00)” and
“AUTO” will fl ash in the display. Simply press the “Reset” button under the
clock to automatically place the unit in manual mode so that you can
continue to use the oven.
Note: Although not necessary at this stage, you may if you wish, set the time
of day. Refer to page 8 for instructions on how to do this.
To time your cooking: Turn the far left knob in a clockwise direction to the
desired number of minutes, up to a maximum of 120 minutes (2 hours). You
should hear a faint ticking sound as the timer proceeds to wind itself back to
zero. When the timer reaches zero, the oven switches itself off. You can still
switch the oven off before the timer reaches zero by simply setting the Mode
and Temperature Controls.
Note: When using any mechanical timer, it is more accurate if you turn the
control knob slightly past the required number of minutes, and then turn it
back again to the desired setting.
The timer can be set to Manual: Turn the far left knob to the Manual setting.
The timer will be deactivated, allowing you to turn the oven on and off as
you need.
Initial Heating
Before placing food in your oven for the fi rst time, you will need to do an initial heating. The
elements in your oven have a fi ne oil fi lm on them, applied to help protect the appliance during
shipping. You now need to burn off this fi ne oil fi lm. You may notice some smoke and/or smell
when you do this, which is perfectly normal.
Ensure the oven is set for Manual operation, as explained above.
1.
Select “Fan Forced” on the 5 function models or “High Bake” on the 9 function models. This
2.
can be done by turning the Mode control knob in either direction.
Turn the oven Temperature control in a clockwise direction to 180°C.
3.
Keep the oven door closed and leave the oven on for about 1 hour, or until any smoke has
4.
disappeared.
Now using the Mode control knob, select “Fan Grill”. Keep the oven door closed and leave
5.
for a further 20 minutes or until any smoke has disappeared.
Turn oven off by returning the Temperature control and Mode control to the off position.
6.
Wait till the oven has cooled down before proceeding.
7.
Clean The Oven
It is important to clean your oven before preparing food for the fi rst time. To avoid electrical
shock or burns, make sure the oven is turned off, and the oven has cooled down.
Use a damp cloth with warm water and a little detergent to wipe down all the internal surfaces
of the oven. Next, thoroughly wipe down the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth and cold water
and then dry them with a clean, soft cloth to remove any remaining residue.

Where To Place Food In The Oven
•
Position food near the centre of the oven as much as possible.

Basic Oven Functions
Your St George oven has a number of different cooking functions. On these pages are the basic
functions contained in all models in this range. These cover the majority of cooking needs.
All functions are simple to use and can be set by turning the Mode control to the desired
setting.
General Oven Use Hints
General Hints
It is always a good idea to pre-heat the oven when cooking more than one dish at a time.
•
Always place food as close to the centre of the oven as possible.
•
When cooking on more than one level, stagger the positions of the trays to allow for as much
•
free circulation of heat as possible.
Once cooking is fi nished and the oven is turned off, a good amount of heat will be retained
•
for a period of time. This heat can be used to dry foods such as bread crumbs or herbs, or to
keep food warm prior to serving.
Defrost
No heat is
applied in this
mode. The rear
fan is switched
on
When To Use This Function
This function can be used to hygienically and effectively defrost all frozen foods.
Food is defrosted effectively by the circulation of air, not by heat. The risk of
growing bacteria and over thawing is reduced. Foods will not start to cook as
sometimes happens when using a microwave to defrost.
Helpful Hints
This method of defrosting can be used for any type of food, but works best for
•
meat, fi sh fi llets and delicate foods such as, cream cheesecakes, cakes with
cream fi lling and icing or frosting.
The volume and weight of the food will determine the time it will take for foods
•
to defrost. As a general rule, the approximate time for defrosting meat is 15-20
minutes per kilogramme.
Place the food towards the centre of the oven. This will speed up the defrosting
•
time.
Be sure to check your food whilst it is defrosting. Leaving the food in the oven for
•
longer than is needed may cause the food to spoil. Once the food is defrosted,
remove it from the oven and place it into the refrigerator until needed.

Basic Oven Functions
Fan Forced
When To Use This Function
This function is especially useful when cooking several trays of foods on
different shelves.
The fan distributes heat around the oven more evenly. Although cooking
Heat comes from
the rear circular
element. The rear
fan operates to
circulate heat.
Grill
temperatures are the same as in a conventional oven, cooking times tend to
be shorter, saving time and energy. Food also tends to cook more evenly.
Helpful Hints
•
It is a good idea to pre-heat the oven when cooking more than one dish
at a time.
•
When cooking on more than one level, stagger the positions of the trays to
allow for as much free circulation of heat as possible.
Heat comes
from the top
element only.
Fan Grill
Heat comes
from the top
element.
The rear fan
operates to
circulate heat.
When To Use This Function
Ideal for toasting or for grilling foods that only require 5 minutes or less cooking
time. When cooking foods which require longer cooking times or have a high
fat content, use the “Fan Grill” mode of cooking.
Helpful Hints
Grilling should be commenced from a cold oven only.
•
Close the oven door and be sure to keep it closed whilst cooking in “Grill”
•
mode. If the door is left open, discolouration of the panels may occur.
When To Use This Function
Suitable for grilling foods that require longer than 5 minutes, or for foods with a
high fat content.
A combination of direct heat from the grill element and circulated hot air by
the fan gives excellent cooking results. Food generally stays moist and has a
rotisserie style fl avour with a crunchy exterior and succulent centre. Cooking is
also more even, since all parts of the food receive similar heat energy.
Helpful Hints
Close the oven door and be sure to keep it closed whilst using Fan Grill.
•
Food should be placed as close as possible to the centre of the oven.
•
The use of large grill pans or roasting dishes can reduce the circulation
•
of air and cause moisture to condense in the lower sections of the oven.
Pre heating the oven for about 10 minutes using “Normal Oven” or “High
Bake” modes prior to fan grilling will help prevent this from happening.
