1. Burner Control Knob – sets burner temperature.
2. Grill Control Knob – sets grilling temperature.
3. Oven Control Knob – sets oven temperature.
4. Timer 60 Minute (where fitted) – sets reminder time. When timer returns to zero, timer gives a short ring. NOTE: for any time below 15 minutes, turn knob past 15 minutes, then back to required time setting.
5. Manual Grill or Oven Igniter or Hotplates – ignites grill burner, oven burner or hotplates when appropriate control knobs are set.
6. Light Switch (where fitted) – turns oven light on/off.
7. Fan Switch – turns oven fan on/off.
The heat comes from the bottom oven burner. The temperature at the centre of oven is the same temperature set on the control knob. When oven is used on this mode, shelf position is important, (refer to ‘Oven Guide’). As hot air naturally rises, the upper half of the oven will be approximately 10°C higher and the lower half approximately 10°C cooler than the set temperature.
For best results from your gas oven use dark coloured trays and baking dishes on a single shelf. Refer to ‘General Hints and Tips’ section for more information.
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.
Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional baking. Most recipe books, unless stated, are for conventional oven temperatures. It is recommended when using the fan forced mode to reduce the oven temperature by 10°C. In a fan forced gas oven the heat comes from the bottom burner. Hot air is distributed by an electrically operated fan located behind the rear wall of the compartment, providing an even temperature on all shelf levels. This means batches of the same food can be baked using multiple shelf positions simultaneously.
Fan Forced operation can be used for single shelf baking with equal success.
For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes before turning on the fan.
Ensure burner caps, crowns and trivets are properly assembled. For wok ONLY use the trivet and burner dedicated for wok cooking. Burner cap and burner crown must be clean and located correctly for the burner to light.


From a cold start the oven burner flame will be higher on the left hand-side. After reaching the set temperature, the flame will become even. This does not affect cooking results.

Electronic ignition with flame safeguard
This hob is fitted with mains powered electronic ignition. When the appliance has been connected and the power is on, depressing ignite button will release sparks to all burners.
To light a burner, depress the corresponding knob fully and while continuing to depress knob for approximately 5 seconds, turn anticlockwise to ‘HI’ position. The flame sensor must warm-up in order for the flame to stay alight.
The knob may be released once the flame is established, and turned further anticlockwise to reduce the flame height as desired.
• Before releasing the knob, ensure the knob is fully depressed.
• If the flame goes out when the knob is released, simply repeat the ignition procedure again.
Hotplate Ignition – (Manual)
To light a burner, depress the corresponding knob fully and while continuing to depress the knob approximately 5 seconds, turn anti-clockwise to 'HI' position. At the same time, hold hand-ignitor next to the burner and ignite (hand-ignitors not supplied). The flame sensor must warm up in order for the flame to stay alight
Grill Ignition – Electronic
While pressing the electronic ignitor switch, depress the corresponding knob fully and while continuing to depress the knob for approximately 5 seconds, turn anti-clockwise to HI' position. The flame sensor must warm up in order for the flame to stay alight.
Grill Ignition – Piezo
Depress the grill control knob fully and while continuing to depress the knob for approximately 5 seconds, turn anticlockwise to 'HI' position. The flame sensor must warm up in order for the flame to stay alight.
Grill – in Oven
Grill is electric and is operated by control knob only.
Oven Ignition – Electronic
While pressing the Electronic Ignitor Switch, push turn and hold the Oven Control Knob to the desired temperature. Hold Control Knob in for 15 seconds after ignition.
Oven Ignition – Piezo
With the left hand push and hold the Oven Control Knob in and turn it a quarter of the way anti-clockwise. Keep the oven Control Knob pushed in firmly and at the same time push the Oven Piezo Ignitor button on the right hand side of the control panel (several times if necessary). It will make a loud ‘clack’ noise as the Piezo mechanism creates a spark. Hold control knob in for 15 seconds after ignition.
warning
• Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.
• If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob to ‘Off’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try lighting again.
• Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’ settings only.

Ceramic Hotplates
warning
If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Electric oven conventional baking
Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below the food. The bottom element is hidden below the floor of the oven. As hot air rises naturally, the upper part of the oven will be approximately 10°C higher than the set temperature and the lower part of the oven approximately 10°C cooler.
For Grill in Oven Models, the grill dish must be removed when baking.
For best baking results, preheat oven for 30 minutes, also refer to ‘General Hints and Tips'.
Electric oven fan forced baking
In a fan forced electric oven the heat comes from the rear oven element. Hot air is distributed by a fan behind the rear wall of the compartment, providing an even temperature on all shelf levels. This means, batches of food can be baked using multiple shelf positions simultaneously.
Fan forced operation can be used for single food baking with equal success.
Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional baking. Most recipe books, unless stated, are typically for conventional oven temperatures. It is recommended that when using the fan forced mode, reduce the oven temperature by 10 degrees (refer to ‘Oven Guide’). For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.

Using the Grill
Grill dish must be fully inserted.

Getting to know your new oven with this "Simple Test Cake"
When baking, it is possible that there will be some variation in colour. Therefore, we suggest to make this simple, easy and delicious test cake to help you understand your new oven.
All ovens do sometimes have hot or cold spots, therefore it is important to judge with your eye as you may need to rotate your dishes during baking.
‘Simple Test Cake’
1. Butter base and sides of two, 20cm straight-sided round or square cake pans. Then line the base with grease proof paper or baking paper.
2. Preheat oven to moderate ‘180ºC’ (170ºC fan forced) for 30m and ensure oven shelf is in position 2 of the oven.
3. Cream softened butter and sugar until light in colour.
4. Add vanilla essence.
5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
6. Sift flour and salt into the mixture and beat until well combined.
7. Add milk and beat or stir to combine.
8. Spoon mixture equally between prepared cake pans.
9. Bake in preheated oven, position 2 for about 25 to 35 minutes.
Tip: Insert a fine cake skewer into the cake mix. If it comes out clean, or if the edges of the cake have come away slightly from the sides of the cake pan, the cake is ready.
10. Remove from oven and place on wire cake rack and rest for 5 minutes before removing from cake pans. Cool completely.
To Serve: sandwich together with your favourite jam or conserve, and dust top with pure icing sugar.
FOOT NOTE: if desired, substitute butter for either margarine or olive oil spread.
Recipe is based on the Australian standard metric 250mL cup and 20mL tablespoon sets.
The following is intended as a guide and experience may show some slight variation in order to meet individual requirements. Where the gas models vary from the electric models, details for gas cooking is shown in brackets. For best results when baking, preheat your oven for 30 minutes.
* Shelf position is counted from the bottom shelf up. Bottom shelf position is 1.

The cookers come in three gas types:
Natural gas, Propane and Universal LPG. If the cooker is required to use ULPG, a conversion kit can be obtained by contacting the Customer Care Centre for details. Before installation, check that the cooker is suitable for the gas supply by looking at the data plate behind the bottom of the oven door.
The following table shows the supply and operating pressures for various supplies.

*If the regulator is placed upstream of the cooker inlet, as is normal for cookers operating on LPG, then the supply pressure and operating pressure are the same. The following table shows the injector sizes for each burner. The following table shows the injector sizes for each burner.
Checking pipe sizeTo work out a suitable pipe size for connection use the information in this table

Also use information about the length of the run, number of elbows, tees and bends, the available service pressure and the supply requirements. AS/NZS 5601.1 will help you with this matter.

To allow for disconnection of the appliance after installation, the plug must be accessible after installation, or a functional switch must be provided near the appliance in an accessible position.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Read these points before connecting to the gas supply:

warning
1. Disconnect electric power before removing control panel.
2. Remove the control panel.
3. Remove the existing NG shutter securing screw (refer to diagram above) and slide upwards to disengage from grill burner.
4. Slide the SNG shutter into position and secure with screws.
warning
5. When the regulator has been fitted check for leaks from the connections with soapy water.
With the appliance operating, check the outlet pressure:
1. When all the burners of the appliance are operating at maximum
2. When the smallest burner of the appliance is operating at minimum, Under these conditions the outlet pressure should not vary from nominal operating pressure of 1.0kPa by more then ± 20% (ie ±0.20kPa for Natural Gas).
If the regulator appears to not be performing satisfactorily then check the following points:
1. If the outlet pressure is consistently too low then.
• the inlet pressure may be too low and adjustment of an upstream regulator may be needed, or
• an upstream regulator or valve with insufficient flow capacity may be present in the gas supply line. It may be necessary to repeat the checks whilst measuring both the inlet and outlet pressure to determine if the inlet pressure is in the range 1.13-5kPa.
2. Check that the regulator has been fitted to the gas supply line in the correct orientation.
3. Replace the regulator if it fails to perform after the checks.
warning
1. Disconnect electric power.
2. Remove the control panel and adjust the bypass screw mounted on the body of each hotplate control cock.
3. Check the ignition on all burners both separately and in combination.
4. Check the operation of the electrical components, if applicable.
