BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the door.
Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on
the back or top of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance
as this may invalidate the guarantee.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth
and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before
use. 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.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The oven has a 24 hour clock. When the oven is first
switched on at the wall the electronic display will
automatically show 12.00 and the 'Time' indicator
neon ( ) will also flash.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the
grill/top is switched on and after a short time when
the main oven is in use. It runs on after the controls
are switched off until the appliance has cooled.
During the initial period the cooling fan may turn ON
and OFF, this is quite normal.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator
neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon
does not operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set. Return all
controls to zero and reset following the instructions
for the required setting.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the door(s) 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 appliance, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

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.

HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND
PREPARING FOOD

Care must be taken when handling foods in the
home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene
to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross
contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking,
cooling, defrosting and freezing foods:-

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the
appliance down before switching off at the
wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance work.

1. Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you
cannot store them straight away. The use of an
insulated container when shopping is advisable.

2. When you arrive home, place perishable foods in
the refrigerator or freezer immediately. Ensure
they are well covered to prevent them drying out
and to prevent any possible cross contamination
with bacteria from raw to cooked foods.

3. In the kitchen keep work tops, chopping boards
and utensils clean with hot soapy water between
preparation stages. Ideally, keep one chopping
board for raw meat and another for other foods.
Keep your dish cloths and tea towels clean.

prepared food is fresh and of good quality.

When cooking is complete, do not leave food to

stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly
if the food is not to be consumed immediately.
Always ensure food in the oven has been
covered before cooking if it is not possible to
remove food immediately after cooking.

THE DUAL GRILL

WARNING – Accessible parts may become
hot when the grill is in use. Keep children
away.

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full
area of the grill can be used, or for economy
purposes, the centre section only can be used when
cooking smaller quantities of food.

USING THE DUAL GRILL

• To operate the grill turn the top oven/grill function

selector to full grill.

• Turn the top oven/grill function selector to centre

section only.

• Turn the top oven/grill temperature control knob

to the right as far as it will go. This is the hottest
setting.

• To use the grill at lower settings, turn the

temperature control knob to 100°C or 150°C.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

• Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

• The grill may be used with the door open or with

the door closed.

11

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 slightly upwards inserting
the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Move the
handle towards the left, lower into position and
release the button.

Ensure the handle is properly 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 check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Most foods should be placed on the grid in the

grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift
the food out of the fats and juices.

• 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.

• 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 around the outer
edges or underneath the grid when grilling
meats.

• When toasting bread, we suggest that the top

runner position is used with the grid in its 'high'
position.

• When using the centre section grill, ensure food

is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly
beneath the grill element.
