THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
Your cooker has a cooling fan fitted behind the
controls to prevent them from overheating.
The cooling fan will come on immediately when
the grill control and Multifunction Selector
control are switched on. The cooling fan may
come on after a short time when the top oven is
in use.
The cooling fan may turn on and off when the
cooker is in use. This is quite normal.
The cooling fan may run on after the ovens or
grill are switched off for a period of time to cool
the cooker down. It may continue to switch on
and off until the cooker is cool.
Always allow the cooling fan to cool
the cooker down before switching off
at the wall prior to carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance work.
NOTE
The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the ovens or grill have been used and
at what temperature. It may not switch in at all
at lower temperature settings nor run on where
the grill or oven has only been used for a short
time.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR
NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens or grill
are switched on. When the grill or ovens are
switched on the neon illuminates. In the case of
the ovens, the top and main oven neons also
indicate when the set temperature has been
reached. They will cycle on and off during use
to show that the temperature is being
maintained.
The grill neon does not turn on and off when
the grill is in use.
The main oven neon does not operate with
Defrost or the Oven Light functions.
The Selector neon operates when the
Multifunction Selector control is set. It does not
turn on and off when in use.
The Selector neon will illuminate with all main
oven functions.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and re-set following
the instructions for the required setting.
7
BEFORE USING THE COOKER
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
The timer must be set to manual operation
before the Multifunction main oven can be
operated. This must be done whenever the
cooker is switched off at the wall or when there
has been a power failure. For instructions on
how to set the timer see page 11.
If the Main oven indicator neon does not glow
when the oven temperature control is turned, it
is most likely that the timer is set for automatic
cooking.
The Top Oven and the Dual Grill are not
controlled by the electronic timer.
RATING PLATE
Record the model, serial and product numbers
of your cooker on the back page of this
instruction book for future reference. You can
find these numbers on the rating plate on the
front frame of the cooker upon opening the top
oven door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably
rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the
cooker is given on the rating plate.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for
10 - 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any
residue from their surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill
for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens
are vented to allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand back from the
cooker when opening the oven doors to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release. If the
steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is
quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the
cooker.
To prevent discolouration occurring, regularly
wipe away condensation and any soilage from
the cooker surfaces.
8
COOKWARE
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the
back of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x
35cm (12" x 14") as they will restrict the
circulation of heat and may affect performance.
Advice on the effect of different materials and
finishes of bakeware is given in 'Hints and Tips'
in the appropriate oven section.
THE TRIVET
When roasting we recommend that you use the
trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will
drain into the meat tin below and can be used
to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.
Note. The meat tin should not be placed on a
heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel
to crack.
9
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker.
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 trivet
1 meat tin
2 shelves for main
oven cooking
1 shelf for grilling and
top oven cooking
10
Scuffing of the Stayclean sides and
back panel by the oven furniture pack
may occur during transit.
These marks will disappear after the
oven has been used for the first time.
THE ELECTRONIC TIMER
The electronic timer can indicate the time of
day, operate as a minute minder and
automatically time the Multifunction main oven.
A Auto Symbol ( automatic cooking)

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan has a removable handle.
To insert the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb and pivot the handle
slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part
of the bracket. Move the handle towards the
left, lower into position and release the button.
Ensure the handle is positively located.
To remove the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb and pivot the handle
slightly upwards and towards the right to
remove from the bracket.
Protect your hands when removing the
grill pan handle.
Always remove the grill pan handle
during grilling.
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf,
ensure that the cut out on the underside of the
handle bracket locates over the front bar of the
shelf.
To check the progress of the food being grilled,
the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to
attend to food during cooking.
Ensure that you support the grill pan
when it is withdrawn.
HINTS AND TIPS
Most foods should be placed on the grilling
grid in the grill pan. This allows maximum
circulation of air by raising the food out of fats
and juices. Foods such as fish, liver and
kidneys may be placed directly on the trivet in
the grill pan if preferred.
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food.
Position the food close to the element for
faster cooking and further away for more
gentle cooking.
16
The grill pan grid is reversible. This is useful if
you want to cook foods of varying thickness.
As a general rule, bread for toasting should
be placed on the grid in the ' high ' position in
the grill pan. Foods such as chicken pieces or
chops may be grilled using the grilling grid in
the low position.
Food should be thoroughly dried before
grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean
meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted
butter to keep them moist during cooking.
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats.
The food should be turned over during
cooking as required.
The grill door must be left open when grilling.
For convenience the grill door can be left
ajar.
Preheat the grill on full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position
as necessary during cooking.

THE TOP OVEN
USES OF THE TOP OVEN
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens.
The top oven is a conventional oven i.e. without
a fan. It is convenient where smaller quantities
or convenience foods are being cooked. It is
important to refer to the top oven cooking chart
as a guide to shelf positions and temperatures
as these may differ from previous cookers you
may have used.
The top oven is also ideal for use as warming
compartment to warm dishes and keep food
hot. Use a temperature setting of 80°C - 100°C
on the top oven temperature control.
HOW TO USE THE TOP OVEN
1.Turn the Top Oven temperature control to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
The top oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature
and then go out. It will turn on and off
periodically during cooking showing that the
temperature is being maintained.
The cooling fan for the controls will operate
after a time. See page 7 for more information
on the operation of the cooling fan.
The top oven works independently of the
main oven and is not controlled by the
multifunction selector.
Do not place dishes, tins and trays
directly on the oven base as it becomes
very hot and damage will occur.
TOP OVEN
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
There are 5 shelf positions in the top oven.
Shelf positions are counted from the bottom
upwards.
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards
the back of the oven.
If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop
mechanism will be affected
