Built-In Double Oven User Manual


The time of day must be set before the appliance can operate.
After the appliance has been electrically connected the display will cycle through the welcome screen, then ‘Set Clock’ will illuminate under the clock display and the Hour digits will flash.

NOTE: The clock has a 12 hour display and will remember the time for 3 days without power
IMPORTANT
New appliances can have a smell during first use.
It is recommended to ‘run in’ the oven before cooking for the first time. Operate the oven, empty, at a temperature of 180°C for approximately minutes.
Please ensure the room is well ventilated during this process.
NOTE: If you have purchased a EVEP626 you will have additional side racks for the lower oven/grill. These are fitted in a similar manner, however the left hand side rack must be fitted to the lower two holes of the half cavity.

The shelves are designed so that they have maximum extension but cannot be accidentally pulled right out. The trays are designed the same way and slot straight into the side racks.
To fit a shelf or tray to side racks:

To fit a shelf or tray to telescopic slides:

Fan cooking 
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
Cooking’ 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.
NOTE: Where fitted, the food probe function can be introduced into this cooking cycle.
Traditional bake 
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 set temperature. You can use the ‘Traditional Bake’ function for single shelf cooking, single trays of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes. This is a general function that can be used for most cooking.
NOTE: Where fitted, the food probe function can be introduced into this cooking cycle.
Fan assist bake 
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 two shelves with ‘Fan Assist Bake’.
Do not use the bottom shelf. If the 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.
NOTE: Where fitted, the food probe function can be introduced into this cooking cycle.
Roast 
The Roast function is designed for roasting meats, poultry and fish by utilising heat from all elements in combination with the fan to surround the food. This provides even cooking throughout and enhanced browning.
NOTE: Where fitted, the food probe function can be introduced into this cooking cycle.
Pastry 
The ‘Pastry’ function is specially designed for food that require extra browning such as the bases of pastries and pies. Heat comes from the element below the food. If you choose the default setting, the oven will heat up to 230°C in order to brown the food.
You should then lower the temperature as required. Cook in the lower half of the oven when you are using only one shelf.
Pizza 
‘Pizza’ is a combination of ‘Pastry’ and ‘Fan Assist Bake’ and offers you the combined benefits of both functions. Heat switches between the element surrounding the fan and 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 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.
Cook from Frozen 
The ‘Cook from Frozen’ function is ideal for cooking frozen precooked foods such as savoury pastries, pizzas, mini meals (TV dinners), meat pies and fruit pies. Heat comes from the element surrounding the fan as well as a smaller element above the food. Simply place the food in the oven straight from the freezer and heat. Cook in the upper half of the oven for best results.
Grill boost 
‘Full Grill’ direct radiant heat from two powerful upper elements onto the food. You can use ‘Full Grill’ function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods.
Grill with the oven door closed.
Full Grill’ allows you to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and will cook faster than the ‘Half Grill’ function. For best results it is recommended to preheat your grill for three 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 two spaces within the upper pairs of support rails. Full Grill has 2 temperature settings, ‘LO’ and ‘HI’.
Grill 
The ‘Half Grill’ directs radiant heat from only one of the powerful upper elements onto the food. The ‘Half Grill’ function is used instead of ‘Full Grill’ when only half the amount of heat is needed. Half Grill has 2 temperature settings, ‘LO’ and ‘HI’.
Grill with the oven door closed.
Fan grill 
‘Fan Grill’ offers you the benefits of both traditional bake and traditional grill functions. The grill element turns on and off to maintain set temperature while the fan circulates the heated oven air.
Grill with the oven door closed.
You can use ‘Fan Grill’ for large cuts of meat, which gives you a result 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.
Keep warm 
The ‘Keep Warm’ function is a low temperature oven function designed to keep your food at a perfect eating temperature without cooking it further. Heat comes from the smaller elements above the food and is circulated by the fan. Use ‘Keep Warm’ to keep your food warm while you prepare the rest of the meal or afterwards while you wait for the late arrival.
NOTE: After cooking, the oven retains enough heat to continue to cook food even if the elements are turned off.
The ‘Keep warm’ function recognises this by giving you a warning message. If this happens the function will not start.
Defrost 
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.
The ‘Defrost’ function does not have a suggested temperature but uses the ambient heat in the oven cavity.
Pyro clean 
The ‘pyrolytic cleaning’ function cleans by burning off the spatters and accumulated dirt and grease from the oven liner, at high temperature. This process produces ash which can be wiped out of the oven cavity.
Food Probe 
The Food Probe measures the core temperature of the food. When the food reaches the desired set core temperature, the oven turns off. The Food Probe has a core temperature range of 50 – 99°C.

Grilling hints
As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:
This table shows how to grill different types of meat:

WARNING
Always clean the grill/oven dish after every use. Excessive fat build up may cause a fire.
Guide to better grilling
For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:
WARNING
Do not place aluminium foil under food as this prevents fats and oils from draining away, which could result in a fire.
Fan grill
The ‘fan grill’ function 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.
Use the anti spatter grill dish insert and grill dish for all fan grilling. Position the dish in the lower half of the oven for best results.
Wipe off any oil or fat which splatters while the oven is still warm.
There is no need to turn meat as both sides are cooked at the same time which means the food is succulent.
CAUTION A steam cleaner is not to be used to clean the product.
The oven has the Pyrolytic self-cleaning function, it cleans by burning off the spatters and accumulated dirt and grease from the oven liner, at high temperature. This process produces ash which can then be wiped out of the oven cavity.
WARNING During the pyrolytic cleaning process the oven becomes extremely hot.
CAUTION
During pyrolytic cleaning the air outlet exhaust above the door must be kept clear of any obstruction (e.g. bulky tea towels).
Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous items e.g. cookware).
If you have a steam oven, do not cause the water tank to overflow during the cleaning cycle. This could damage the enamel
Before carrying out the Pyrolytic function

NOTE: Duration includes heat-up time, excluding cool-down time.
This is an energy saving cycle that can be used on a regular basis if the oven is lightly soiled. Possibly after every nd or 3rd roast.
Use this as the regular cycle about once every months.
When the oven is very dirty it may need a longer cycle to clean it thoroughly. This cycle will clean the dirtiest of ovens.
Switch on the oven by touching the
ON/OFF symbol.
The control panel will come on and inform you that you need to select a cooking function.

(EVEP626)
For this model with two ovens, both doors will lock automatically at the beginning of the pyrolytic cleaning.
Cooking is not permitted in either oven during the pyrolytic clean function.
The door(s) will only unlock when the oven has cooled to a safe temperature. Turning the function off will not unlock the door(s). This will only happen when safe temperatures are reached.
When the pyrolytic cleaning function is on, it is advisable not to use a cooktop if it is fitted above the oven. This could cause overheating and damage to both appliances.
NOTE: The cooling fan will operate at an increased speed for Pyrolytic cleaning and will continue to run until the oven has cooled down. This is normal.
It is recommended to clean the oven regularly to keep it in its best condition.
After cool-down wipe the ash out of the oven with a soft damp cloth and warm water.
To restore the enamel shine to more difficult areas, use a damp cloth with vinegar and detergent.
CAUTION Do not turn off the mains power supply to the oven during the pyrolytic cycle. This could damage the appliance.
After a recommended period of time the oven will remind you to clean the oven. Once this period of time has elapsed, when turning the oven off you will get a message “TIME TO CLEAN YOUR OVEN”. Press the on/off button to clear the message and run the pyrolytic cycle. After the pyrolytic cycle has finished, the cleaning reminder will reset. The “Cleaning Reminder” setting can be enabled/disabled in the settings menu.
Alternatively while the “TIME TO CLEAN YOUR OVEN” message is displayed, you can press the “OK” button and you will get the option to “REMIND ME AGAIN”.
IMPORTANT
Cooling/vent fan
This 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 the oven and blow warm air across the top of the oven door.
NOTE: If the oven is still hot from cooking, the cooling fan will keep running to cool the oven down and will switch off by itself once cool.
CAUTION
Using the oven
IMPORTANT
Condensation and steam
This appliance is supplied with an exclusive system which produces a natural circulation of air and the constant recycling of steam.
This steam makes it possible to cook in a steamy environment ensuring that dishes are soft inside and crusty on the outside. This process also reduces cooking time and energy consumption. During cooking steam may be produced and released when the door is opened. This is absolutely normal.
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way a boiling kettle does. When steam comes into contact with the oven door glass it will condense and produce water droplets. To reduce condensation, ensure that the oven is well heated before placing food in the oven cavity.
Oven pre-heating is necessary before any cooking.
It is recommended that condensation is wiped away after each use of the oven.
The effects of dishes on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, heat conductivity, colour etc. which affects the way they transfer heat to the food inside them.
