BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Setting the time
If you have purchased a model fitted with an electronic or programmable timer, you must set
the time of day before you can operate your appliance.
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 – or +. 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.
Programmable Controller
• After the appliance has been electrically connected, the set
clock symbol and timer arrow will flash on the clock
display.
• To set the time of day, press – or +. 5 seconds after the last
change the timer arrow will disappear, confirming the time
has been set. Once the time has been entered, the clock
advances minute by minute.
• NOTE: The clock has a 24-hour display.
Preparing 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.
• New appliances can have an odour during first operation. It is recommended to ‘run
in’ your oven before you cook for the first time. Run the oven at 180ºC for 2-4 hours
and ensure that the room is well ventilated.
• DO NOT line the oven with foil, it will damage the enamel.
• If your appliance is fitted with a 2-hour "Auto Off" timer, make sure it is set to the 'Off' marker for
manual operation. See image.

INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES
1. Catalytic liners (on selected models)
Catalytic liners are coated with a specially formulated enamel coating. This porous coating enables
the “self cleaning” process - see page 27 for more details. Catalytic liners must be installed first but
you can omit them, if you wish, with no effect to cooking performance. Their sole purpose is to make
oven cleaning easier.
• The catalytic liners will attach to each side of your oven. There will be a left hand and right hand
version. This is marked on the panel.
• Position the first liner as per the diagram. The black, shiny side of the liner should be facing the
‘
oven wall, the hooks pointing down and the word
oven. The right hand side will be a mirror image of this.
• Line the hooks up with the slots
provided in the oven wall, push
them in and then allow the liner
to slide down to its final
position.
• The access hole for the side
racks should be visible
when the liner is correctly
positioned - see diagram.

Front
2. Side racks
The side racks that come with your oven
are all fitted the same way and 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.
• When locating the left side racks into
the small oven or grill ensure the pegs
go into the top access holes.

3. 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 product, fully open the drawer and position
the tray so that the slots on the outer edges fit over the tabs on the slides.
• Remove extra trays and dishes before roasting or baking.
To fit a tray to telescopic slides:
1. Fully extend the slides on boths sides.
2. Select the tray you wish to use and position the slots on one side on the respective tabs of the slide.
3. Drop the other side down so that the tray is fully seated on both slides.
When fully inserted the shelf/tray should not interfere with the closed oven door.
Side opening door features
The door in side opening models has been designed with some additional features for the best
performance of your oven. Firstly the door has three layers of glass to keep the heat in the oven and
maximise energy whilst keeping the door outer as cool as possible.
To further minimise the external door temperature this door has a unique “air curtain” between the
two outer most pieces of glass. The gaps at the top & the bottom of the door allow cooling air to pass
through the door reducing the external temperature. The door has been designed for the removal &
cleaning of the door glass should it become necessary, see the cleaning section of this book for
instructions.
The door is also reversible from right hand opening [as delivered] to left hand opening. If you wish to
convert your door opening then refer to the installation section of this book for instructions.

USING YOUR OVEN
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.
LARGE OVEN
Rapid Heat
Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan as well as the smaller
element above the food. This allows you to preheat your oven 30% quicker
than on standard "bake".
"Rapid heat" is ideal for cooking frozen pre-cooked foods such as savoury
pastries, pizzas, mini meals (TV dinners), meat pies and fruit pies. Simply
place the food in the oven straight from the freezer and heat - ideal for busy
people. Cook in the upper half of the oven for best results.
Fan Bake
Heat comes from the element surrounding 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 / Pizza
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The
bottom element is a clean heat element and is below the floor of the oven.
Both elements are 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.
Base Heat
Heat comes from the element below the food. The element is controlled by
the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.
The “base heat” function can be used to add extra browning to the bases of
pizzas, pies and pastries. Cook in the lower half of the oven when you are
using only one shelf. For best results, use silver or shiny trays.
Fan Assist
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The fan
circulates the hot air around the oven cavity so that you can put the food in
different places in the oven and still cook them at the same time. You should
only use a maximum of 2 shelves with “fan assist”. Do not use the bottom
shelf. If two shelves are used, food on the shelf in the higher position will
cook first and should then be removed to allow the food on the lower shelf
to finish cooking.
10
Pizza
“Pizza” is a combination of “base heat” and “fan bake” and offers you the
combined benefits of both functions. Heat comes from the element
surrounding the fan as well as the clean heat element below the oven floor.
The “pizza” function is ideal for foods that require cooking and browning on
the base. It is great for foods such as pizzas, quiches, meat pies and fruit pies.
Simply place the food in the middle of the oven and set the desired
temperature.
USING YOUR OVEN
Maxi Grill
“Maxi grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper elements onto the
food. You can use the “maxi grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak,
chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill
with the oven door closed.
“Maxi grill” allows you to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and
will cook faster than normal “grill”. For best results it is recommended to
preheat your grill for 3 minutes. 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.
Grill
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
“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 large oven or
smaller cuts in the mini oven (Duo only). This 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.
SMALL OVEN/GRILL
Bake (Duo oven only)
Heat comes from the element below the food. The element is a clean heat
element and is below the floor of the oven. The element is controlled by the
thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.
The “Bake” function can be used to add extra browning to the bases of
pizzas, pies and pastries.
Fan Assist (Duo oven only)
Heat comes from the element below the food. The fan then circulates the
hot air around the oven cavity allowing for very even cooking.
Grill
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 for separate grill wallovens and closed for Duo ovens.
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.
Grill (split)
The “split grill” works in the same way as a full width grill but with the
added advantage of being able to optimise the energy usage for smaller
servings. Grill with the oven door open.
