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.

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

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 26 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 ‘LH’ positioned to the top rear portion of the 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.

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.

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.

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 and 5) to confirm what functions are available to you.

large oven

function	description
	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 .
	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 .
	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 .
	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 .
	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 .
	“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 .
	“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.
	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” 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

function	description
	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.
	Heat comes from the element below the food. The fan then circulates the hot air around the oven cavity allowing for very even cooking.
	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.
	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

other functions

function	description
	“Fast heat” can be selected in the initial heat up phase of any cooking function. During “fast heat” the 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”. See page 18 for more information. “Fast heat up” is not a cooking function. It is used to preheat the oven to the desired temperature quickly and efficiently. It is recommended to use this feature when preheating your appliance. The oven will automatically revert to the set cooking function once the preset temperature is reached.
	The “defrost” function uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fan. You can defrost (thaw) your food before you cook it. You can also use “defrost” to raise your yeast dough and to dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.

cooling/venting fan

Your built-in appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. This prevents your kitchen cabinet from overheating and reduces the condensation inside the oven. It will operate whenever you are using your oven or grill and will blow warm air across the top of the oven door. In some appliances the cooling fan may continue to operate after the appliance is turned off. It will switch off by itself once oven is cool.

condensation

Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may happen when you are cooking large quantities of food from a cold start. You can minimize condensation by:

• Keeping the amount of water used whilst cooking to a minimum.

• Making sure that the oven door is firmly closed.

• Baking custard in a baking dish that is slightly smaller than the water container.

• Cooking casseroles with the lid on.

NOTE: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn to steam and may condense outside your appliance. This is not a problem or fault with your oven.

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 anticlockwise 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.

pre-heating your appliance

For best results when baking you must preheat your oven for 30 minutes. Preheat the grill for 3 minutes to obtain best results. Pre-heating your appliance allows it to reach the required temperature quickly and efficiently.

With “rapid heat”

For electric multifunction appliances preheat your oven by selecting the “rapid heat” function.

This function allows your oven to reach the preset temperature quicker than any other cooking function.

1. Turn the function selector to “rapid heat”.
2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven temperature selector.

When the indicator light above the temperature selector goes out, the oven has reached the desired temperature. Select the oven function you require for cooking or baking and place the food in the oven.

With “bake/pizza”

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 in the oven, close the door and set the timer if you desire.

With “fan bake”

1. It is recommended to 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 for non fan modes . For fan-forced modes the temperature should be reduced by10°C .

Please refer to the cooking guide to choose the best oven setting for your recipes.

NoTeS:

• Do NoT line oven with foil, it will damage the enamel.

warning

The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough durable material that withstands heating and cooling without breaking . However, it must be remembered that as it is GLASS, it may break . Treat it accordingly!

The heating elements are concealed under the smooth glass surface which has a pattern to show the location of the elements . The glass will retain heat for a period of time after the appliance has been turned off . This is indicated by a “HOT SURFACE” warning light. It will remain on whenever the glass surface exceeds 60°C .

Using your oven

utensils

• Use pans with smooth, clean & dry bottoms to avoid scratching or burning residue into the glass .

• Ensure the pan bottom is the same size as the working element .

• We do not recommend ceramic glass pans because they do not conduct heat well Stainless steel or enamelled saucepans are best .

• Do not use pans with copper or aluminium bottoms because they can leave traces which are difficult to remove from the glass .

• If buying new utensils select enamelled steel pans with 2-3mm thick bottoms or stainless steel pans with sandwich bottoms 4-6mm thick. The pan bottom should be flat, or preferably, slightly concave at room temperature so that it lies flat on the glass surface when hot.

cooking do’s and don’ts

• Do use the stored heat in the hotplate by turning the control to “O” before the final few minutes of cooking .

• Do not place heat resistant mats, wire mats or aluminium foil under pots and pans .

• Do not allow pots and pans to boil dry, as damage to both pan and hotplate may result .

• Do not use round bottom woks, wok stands or similar utensils which could lead to overheating of the hotplates and possible damage to the cooking surface .

• Do not slide pans across the surface of the ceramic glass cooktop, it could result in scratching of the surface .

• Do not use the cooktop as extra bench space or as a cutting board .

• Do not allow children on or near the cooktop at any time.

cleaning your ceramic hotplate

1. Remove all spilt food and fat with a razor blade scraper (supplied with the unit) while the ceramic glass is still warm, but not hot . Wipe clean with dishwashing detergent on a damp cloth .

2. If aluminium foil, plastic items or high sugar content liquids/foods are allowed to melt on the ceramic glass, these should be removed immediately with a scraper before the surface has cooled down, otherwise pitting of the surface can occur .

NOTE : Items with high sugar content not only include jam and fruit but also vegetables such as peas, tomatoes and carrots.

3. When the ceramic glass is cool, apply a suitable cleaner (supplied with the unit) .

4. It is important to follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions . Remove any cleaning residue from the surface as staining of the cooktop may occur .

5. Do not use abrasive sponges or scourers, oven sprays or stain removers as they may scratch the cooktop .

6. Any pitting, staining, scratches or other surface deterioration is excluded from the warranty .

7. All stains/water marks can be removed by vigorous cleaning, using the supplied ceramic cleaner .

The beep sound can be activated anytime a button is pressed.

1. Ensure the oven is off by pressing the On/Off button.
2. Press the temperature buttons simultaneously for one second, a single beep will sound to confirm operation. Repeat the above procedure to reset the beep mode to touch mode. As default the beep on touch mode is off.

Maximum operation times for safety

The oven automatically switches itself off if the temperature is not adjusted or the appliance is left operating for:

• 12.5 hours when set between 30°C and 120°C

• 8.5 hours when set between 120°C and 200°C

• 5.5 hours when set between 200°C and 250°C

cooking hints

• Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked.
• Make sure dishes will fit into the oven before you switch it on.
• Keep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the side of the oven. This allows free circulation of heat and ensures even cooking.
• Do not open the oven door more than necessary.
• Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven with other foods. This will cause food to steam and not brown.
• After the oven is turned off it retains the heat for some time. Use this heat to finish custards or to dry bread.
• Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. This will prevent splattering oil on the sides of the oven and the oven door. Polyunsaturated fats can leave residue which is very difficult to remove.
• When cooking things which require a high heat from below (e.g. tarts), place the cooking dish on a scone tray in the desired shelf position.
• For sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright finished or non-stick utensils.
• Remove unnecessary trays or dishes when roasting or baking.

oven shelf location

Your oven has seven for shelves. These are numbered from 1 (the lowest shelf position) to 7 (the highest shelf position). See diagram.

To give maximum space above and below the shelves, load them in this way:

• When cooking with 1 shelf, use position 3 or 4.
• When cooking with 2 shelves, use position 3 and 5. Refer to cooking guide.

Use the oven efficiently, by cooking many trays of food at the same time. For example:

• Cook 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls.
• Cook a roast dinner at the same time as you cook chips or vegetables.

grilling hints

warning

Always clean the grill / oven dish after every use . Excessive fat build up may cause a fire

Depending on your model of appliance you will grill:

• With the door open, if you are grilling in the separate grill wall-oven compartment

• With the drawer approximately two finger widths ajar, if you are grilling in the separate grill underbench compartment

• With the door open or closed, if you are grilling in the oven compartment

As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:

• Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry and meat

• Seal the surface of the food and retain the natural juices.

This table shows how to grill different types of meat:

food. grilling method

beef. You can use tenderloin, rump and sirloin. Brush with oil or melted butter, especially if the meat is very lean.

lamb. You can use the loin chops, shortloin chops, chump chops and forequarter chops. Remove skin or cut at intervals to avoid curling. Brush with oil or melted butter.

sausages. Prick sausages to stop skin from bursting.

poultry. Divide into serving pieces. Brush with oil.

fish Brush with oil or melted butter and lemon juice.

bacon. Remove rind. Grill flat and make into rolls.

Guide to better grilling

No definite times can be given for grilling because this depends on your own tastes and the size of the food. These times should only be used as a guide and remember to turn the food over half way through the cooking process.

food. time in minutes

steak 15 - 20 minutes

chops 20 - 30 minutes

fish 8 -10 minutes

bacon. 4 - 5 minutes

For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:

1. Remove oven / grill dish and smokeless grill insert and preheat grill for about 5 minutes.

2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut is more than 40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the inside remains raw.

3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this prevents fats and oils from draining away, which could result in a fire.

4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil or marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated before cooking.

5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface and will let juices escape.

fan grill (multifunction models only)

If your appliance has fan grill as a function, this will assist the grilling process by circulating the heat evenly around the food. The recommended temperature setting is 180°C for all fan grilling functions.

1. Use the smokeless grill insert and oven dish for all fan grilling.

2. Position the dish in the lower half of the oven, for best results.

3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven is still warm. There is no need to turn the meat as both sides are cooked at the same time which means that the food is succulent.

warning

• Always make sure that the oven is electrically isolated before cleaning. This can be done via the functional switch located nearby. Do not use steam cleaners.

• Do not line the bottom of the oven or grill with foil or cookware.

Cleaning your appliance

enamel

• Rub persistent stains vigorously with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers.

NOTE: You can also use household oven enamel cleaners - follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes.

stainless steel

All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or became greasy. You must clean these areas regularly by following the procedures below, if you want your appliance to look its best, perform well and have a long life.

warning

Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless steel edges.…they can be sharp!

Your stainless steel appliance is manufactured from a mark resistant stainless steel. This special stainless steel resists marks such as finger prints and water spots. To keep your stainless steel appliance looking at its best, you should clean it regularly. Wash with warm soapy water and rinse with clean water. Wipe with clean water and a soft clean cloth to remove soap residue.

NOTE: Make sure you follow the polish or brushing lines in the steel.

caution

DO NOT use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or other cleaners as they are likely to scratch the surface. Damage due to poor cleaning technique is not covered by your warranty

glass

• Glass surfaces on doors and control panels are best cleaned immediately after soiling.

• A damp cloth may help remove baked on food deposits.

• Oven cleaners can be used to remove stubborn marks and stains.

DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass

oven

• Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure that fats and oils do not accumulate around elements, burners or fans.

• Always keep the oven dish, baking trays, grill dish and grill dish inserts clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.

• Always wrap your meats in foil or an oven roasting bag to minimise cleaning. Any polyunsaturated fats can leave a varnish-like residue which is very difficult to remove.

grill

cleaning your oven accessories

Removing the trays and shelves from your appliance

• Slide the dish and shelves towards you until they reach the front stop.
• Tilt them up at the front to clear the side supports, taking care not to spill the contents.
• Lift them clear.
• Wash the dish and insert the shelves in hot soapy water.
• Reverse the above steps to put the grill dish and shelves back again.
• Ensure that they are placed between the 2 support wires. See page 8 for more details.

Removing the side racks (shelf supports)

• Grasp the shelf supports at the front.

• Pull them firmly inwards.

• To install the shelf supports, see page 7.

Removing and replacing the oven light and side light (where fitted)

• Turn oven light glass anticlockwise to remove it for globe replacement.
• A special high temperature resistant globe should be used. This can be purchased from the Customer Care Centre.
• To remove side light, place a spoon under the light glass and lever off. Replace globe and snap glass cover back into position.

warning Make sure the appliance is turned off before you remove or replace parts, to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

releasing the grill element

We have designed the upper element with a hanger clip to help you reach your oven roof for cleaning.

Retaining wire models

• Lift element up carefully.
• Pull hanger clip to the left or right to unhook it. The element will drop down freely

Rotating latch models

• Rotate latch 180º. The element will drop down freely.

catalytic liners

Some models come with Catalytic liners. These models contain:

• 2 Catalytic side liners (to be fitted by you)

• 1 Catalytic fan cover (already fitted)

NOTE: If your oven does not have catalytic liners and you wish to purchase them, they are available from the Customer Care Centre.

operation

The catalytic liners are coated with a specially formulated enamel coating, over a base of regular enamel. This enamel coating has a rough surface which is also porous. During normal cooking, fats and other food spatter is partially absorbed into the surface and then oxidised away. This oxidisation of the fat works best if the oven is set at high temperatures. If you do a lot of lower temperature baking, say around the normal 180ºC, then the cleaning process may not be complete. Every now and then you should turn the oven on to 260ºC for around one hour to completely remove the soil.

cleaning

Should the panels become heavily soiled, they will need to be taken out of the oven and cleaned by hand. They should be soaked in warm, soapy water for at least 2 hours and then wiped clean with a soft cloth.

NOTE: Solid cleaning powders, creamy cleansers, caustic oven cleaners, steel wool or other scourers will ruin the catalytic surface and must NEVER BE USED.

Removing the catalytic liners

• Remove Side Racks (see page 24).
• Lift the liner up to disengage the hooks.
• The liners should now be free to be pulled in towards the centre of the oven.
• Refer to page 7 for re-installing your side liners.

Removing and replacing the catalytic fan baffle (where fitted)

• Remove the 2 retaining screws on the top edge of the fan baffle.
• Pull the top edge towards you and then disengage to bottom tabs from the oven back.

important

NOTE: The fan baffle must be replaced after cleaning.

• Insert the two tabs at the bottom of the fan baffle into their corresponding slots in the oven back.
• Push the top home and insert screws firmly into appropriate holes.
• The fan baffle must not be loose.
