DESCRIPTION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

3 Button Electronic Clock

• After the appliance has been electrically connected "12.00" will be displayed and the "clock indicator" will flash.

• To set the time of day, press the – or + buttons. 5 seconds after the last change, the "clock indicator" will disappear, confirming the time has been set.

• Note: The clock has a 24-hour display.

Setting the time

If you have purchased a model fitted with an electronic clock, you must set the time of day before you can operate your appliance.

Preparing your appliance for the first time

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Please remove all internal boxes and bags from the oven before operation.

• Please wipe out the oven interior prior to operation with warm soapy water and polish dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not close the oven door until the oven is completely dry.

• If your appliance is fitted with a 2-hour "Auto Off" timer, make sure it is set to the 'O' marker for manual operation. See image.

Installing your oven furniture

The type of oven furniture you receive is dependant on the model you have purchased.

1. Side racks

The side racks that come with your oven can be attached to either side of your oven.

• Insert the largest peg into rear access hole provided. See diagram.

• Then locate the front peg into the front access hole and push in firmly.

2. Shelves and trays

The shelves are designed so that they have maximum travel but cannot be accidentally pulled right out. The trays are designed the same way and fit straight into the side racks.

• Locate the rear edge of the shelf/tray in between 2 guide rails of the side rack - see diagram. Ensure the same rail positions on both sides of the oven are being engaged.

• With the front edge raised, begin to slide the shelf into the oven.

• Once the detents have passed the front edge of the side rack, the shelf can be pushed completely in.

• When fully inserted the shelf/tray should not interfere with the closed oven door.

• To insert the grill tray in a separate grill underbench, fully open the grill drawer and position the tray so that the slots on the outer edges fit on the tabs on the slides.

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

OVEN

Fan Bake

Heat comes from the gas “base heat” burner which is then circulated by the fan. This fan circulates the hot air around the oven cavity so that you can put your food in different places in the oven and still cook them at the same time.

You can use the "fan bake" function for multi-shelf cooking, reheating cooked foods, pastries and complete oven meals. It will cook at a lower temperature and be faster than baking. Please note that some variation in browning is normal.

Bake

Heat comes from the gas “base heat” burner below the food. The bottom burner is below the floor of the oven which is controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.

You can use the “bake” function for single trays of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.

Defrost

The “defrost” function uses low temperature air which is circulated by the fan. You can defrost (thaw) your food before you cook it. Also you may use your “defrost” to raise your yeast dough or to dry fruit, vegetables or herbs.

GRILL

Grill (grill in oven models only)

The “grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element onto the food. You can use the “grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven door closed. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

Fan Grill (grill in oven models only)

“Fan grill” offers you the benefits of both “bake” and traditional “grill” functions. The grill element turns on and off to maintain the set temperature while the fan circulates the heated air. The oven door remains closed for fan grill. You can use “fan grill” for large cuts of meat in the oven which gives you a result that is similar to “rotisserie” cooked meat. Put your food on a shelf in the second lowest shelf position. Put the grill dish on the lowest shelf position to catch any spills. When using “fan grill” it is not necessary to turn the food over during the cooking cycle. Set temperature to 180°C.

Grill (separate grill models only)

The “grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element onto the food. You can use the “grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven door open. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. The grill dish is to be positioned between the upper pair of support rails.

Understanding your oven functions

Your oven will have a selection of the following functions. Refer to “Description of your appliance” (page 4) to confirm what functions are available to you.

USING YOUR OVEN

Cooling/Venting fan

Your built-in appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. It will operate whenever you are using your oven or grill and will blow warm air across the top of the oven or grill door. In some appliances the cooling fan may continue to operate after the appliance is turned off. This is to cool the product.

Operating your oven temperature selector

A thermostat controls the temperature in your appliance. The temperature can be selected within the specified range. To set the temperature, turn the temperature selector in a clockwise direction to the desired setting. An indicator light above the temperature selector will come on. When the temperature is reached, the heating source switches itself off and the indicator light goes out. When the oven temperature falls below the desired setting, the heating source switches on and the indicator light comes on again. Once the food is cooked, turn the temperature selector back in an anti-clockwise direction. Do not force it right round in a clockwise direction as this will result in damage to the thermostat.

NOTE: For multifunction ovens the desired cooking function must be selected before the oven will operate. Once the desired function has been selected, use the temperature selector to set the required temperature.

USING YOUR OVEN

Setting the time

If you have purchased a model fitted with an electronic clock you must set the time of day before you can operate your appliance.

Underbench Grill in oven models Door FULLY closed Separate Grill Underbench Slide out grill drawer Drawer FULLY closed Separate Grill Walloven Drop down grill door Door FULLY open

NOTE: Below is a table indicating the door position whilst grilling for each of the product types.

USING YOUR OVEN

Pre-heating your appliance

Pre-heating your oven is recommended in cooking and grilling functions. Pre-heating your appliance allows it to reach the required temperature quickly and efficiently.

When baking bread or cakes, load the oven as quickly as possible after pre-heating, only leaving the oven door open for the shortest time. This will minimise loss of heat from the oven and ensure the best results.

With "bake"

1. It is recommended you preheat your appliance when cooking or baking.

2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven temperature selector. When the indicator light goes out the oven has reached the desired preset temperature, place your food into the oven, close the door and set the timer if you desire.

With "grill"

Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best results. This will help to seal the natural juices of steak, chops and other meats for a better flavour.

Setting temperatures

The following table displays the temperature settings for recipes which do not show actual temperatures.
