Description of your appliance

USING YOUR OVEN

Pre-heating your appliance

For best results when baking it is recommended that you 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 by 10°C

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

NOTE: DO NOT line oven with foil, it will damage the enamel. DO NOT use the base of the oven for cooking – it will damage the enamel.

USING YOUR COOKTOP

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.

Dealing with cooktop problems

OPERATING THE ELECTRONIC CLOCK

Touch Control (selected models only)

General features

Your touch control clock has the following features:

• Timer – allows you to set a countdown time that will beep when the set time has elapsed.

• Cooking duration – You can set a cooking duration. A timer will count down the preset cooking time, beep when the time has elapsed and turn the oven off.

• End cooking time – you can set a cooking finish time. A timer will count down the preset cooking time, beep when the finish time has been reached and turn the oven off.

• Delayed start cooking time – You can combine the cooking time and stop cooking time to switch the oven on and off at a specific time during the day.

Note: Your touch control clock only operates with your upper oven

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

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.

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 with warm soapy water. Wipe with clean water and a soft clean cloth to remove soap residue.

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

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.

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

• Always keep the grill dish and grill dish insert clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.

Cleaning your oven accessories

Removing the trays and shelves from your appliance

• Slide the dish and grill tray 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 tray and shelves in hot soapy water.

• Reverse the above steps to put the grill tray and shelves back again.

• Ensure that they are placed between the 2 support wires. See page 9 for more details (excluding POR881)

Removing the side racks or shelf supports (excluding POR881)

• Grasp the shelf support at the front.

• Pull it firmly inwards.

• To install the shelf support, see page 8.

CATALYTIC LINERS (wherefitted)

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.

• 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 8 for re-installing your side liners.

Removing and replacing the catalytic fan baffle (where fitted)

The oven must be switched off before removing the fan baffle, and the fan baffle must be replaced in accordance with instructions.

• 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.

Note: It is critical that the fan baffle is replaced after cleaning, before the oven is operated again.

• 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. The fan baffle must be flush with the back wall of the oven.

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.
