First Time Use And Quick Start Guide
The purpose of this section is to get you using your oven to cook a meal with minimal delay. More
detailed instructions that will give you greater control of your oven are contained later.
Set The Clock To Manual Mode (Electronic Timer Models Only)
12:05
When power is first connected to your oven: The time of day “(0:00)” and
“AUTO” will flash 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.
Although not necessary at this stage, you may set the time of day. Refer to
“Using The Programmable Clock” for instructions on how to do this.
NOTE: With double oven models, the clock controls the upper oven only. The
lower oven must be turned on and off manually.

To time your cooking: Turn the Timer 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 to “OFF”.
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 Timer 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 first time, you will need to do an initial heating. The
elements in your oven have a fine oil film on them, applied to help protect the appliance during
shipping. You now need to burn off this fine oil film. You may notice some smoke and/or smell
when you do this, which is perfectly normal.
1.
Ensure the oven is set for Manual operation, as explained above.
2.
Select “High Bake” by turning the Mode control knob in either direction.
3.
Turn the oven Temperature control in a clockwise direction to 180°C.
4.
Keep the oven door closed and leave the oven on for about 1 hour, or until any smoke has
disappeared.
5.
Now using the Mode control knob, select “Fan Grill”. Keep the oven door closed and leave
for a further 20 minutes or until any smoke has disappeared.
6.
Turn oven off by returning the Temperature control and Mode control to the off position.
7.
Wait till the oven has cooled down before proceeding.
Clean The Oven
It is important to clean your oven before preparing food for the first 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.
When cooking several dishes at once, prevent dishes from touching each other or the
sides of the oven.
To allow heat to circulate, do not place dishes directly underneath each other - stagger
their positions if possible.

General Hints
Some foods require the oven to be preheated. You should consult your own recipe references
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.
WARNING: USE OF ALUMINIUM FOIL IN OVEN: Do NOT use aluminium foil on the floor or walls of
oven and do NOT place cookware on oven floor. This WILL cause damage to the oven due to
heat concentration. Damage resulting from such use is not covered under your warranty.

Oven Cooking 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.
Defrost
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

mode. The rear

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, sh llets and delicate foods such as, cream cheesecakes, cakes
with cream 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.
Normal Oven
When To Use This Function
This function is most suitable when cooking a single item on one rack only, or for
foods that require long slow cooking.
Helpful Hints
•
cause condensation to escape and run down the front of your oven. If this
happens simply wipe away the condensation from the front of your oven using
a soft cloth. Built up steam in the oven can be dangerous so stand clear and
take care when opening the oven door.
• When using water in your cooking, it is best to select “Fan Oven” mode which
allows the excess moisture to be circulated and evaporated during cooking.

circulate heat.
Fan Forced
Heat comes from
the rear circular
element. The rear
fan operates to
circulate heat.
When To Use This Function
This function is most useful when cooking multiple dishes at the same time.
Heat will be evenly distributed throughout the oven. For example this mode will
allow one dish to have a well cooked base and the other to be well browned.
Helpful Hints
It is a good idea to pre-heat the oven when cooking more than one dish at a
•
time.
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
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.

Oven Functions
High Bake
When To Use This Function
This function is most suitable when cooking foods that require a high heat
and a crisp base. High bake is also good for reheating.
Quick and consistent heat is evenly distributed throughout the oven. This

•
at a time.
Heat comes from
the inner top
element. The rear
fan operates to
circulate heat.
Grill
Heat comes from
the inner top
element only.
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 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”. If
•
the door is left open, discolouration of the panels may occur.
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.
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.
