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.

INSTALLATION

Side racks

1. Insert the twin pegged end into the rear access holes provided, ensuring pegs are fully inserted.
2. Then locate the front peg into the front access hole and push in firmly.

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.

Shelves and trays

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:

1. Locate the rear edge of the shelf/tray in between the guide rails of the side rack – see diagram. Ensure the same rail positions on both sides of the oven are being engaged.
2. With the front edge raised, begin to slide the shelf into the oven.
3. Once the detents have passed the front edge of the side rack, the shelf can be pushed fully in.
4. When fully inserted the shelf/tray should not interfere with the closed oven door.

To fit a shelf or tray to telescopic slides:

1. With the slides fully pushed in, push the shelf or tray along the top of the slide until it hits the back post.
2. Drop the front of the shelf or tray onto the slide ensuring it sits behind the front post of the slide.
3. When fully inserted the shelf/tray should not interfere with the closed oven door

COOKING FUNCTIONS

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.

OPERATING SEQUENCE

USING THE APPLIANCE

Pre-heating

Pre-heating the oven is recommended in several cooking and grilling functions. Pre-heating the oven allows it to reach the required temperature quickly and efficiently as well as cook food at the correct temperature for the entire cook time.

These models are equipped with a built-in rapid heat up mode that activates each time you start an oven function.

During the rapid heat-up mode the heat comes from the element surrounding the fan as well as the smaller element above the food. This combination will heat up the oven quicker than it would on standard ‘Bake’ function.

The oven will automatically revert to the set cooking function once the preset temperature is reached.

Cooling / Vent fan

The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. This prevents the kitchen cabinet from overheating and reduces the condensation inside the oven. It will operate whenever the oven is in use 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.

Condensation

Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may happen when cooking large quantities of food from a cold start. Minimise condensation by:

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

Cooking with the timer

The oven is equipped with a programmable controller that can be used to turn the oven on and off automatically. The cook time’ controls are used to automatically turn the oven off after a set amount of time. The ‘Delay End’ controls are used to set the time of day you want the cooking cycle to finish.

Setting the cook time

1. Select the desired oven function and cooking temperature.
2. Touch the ‘cook time’ + symbol as often as necessary (or hold), until the desired cook time has been set.
3. Touch ‘OK’ or after 8 seconds from the last time adjustment the oven will start cooking and the ‘cook time’ display will countdown to zero.
4. The oven will turn off and beep when the ‘cook time’ display reaches zero.

IMPORTANT

• When you use the ‘cook time’ function, the Finishes at’ display activates and tells you what time of day the oven will turn off (based on the set cook time).
• During cooking, you can adjust the cook time with the ‘cook time’ - or + symbols for better cooking performance.
• When the cook time has elapsed, an audible signal will sound for 2 minutes, the oven will switch off and COOKING FINISHED will be displayed.
• To stop the audible signal, press any of the symbols on the control panel.
• If you wish to cook a bit longer, press the cook time’ + symbol for each additional minute you require. The oven automatically reverts to the function and temperature previously programmed. This feature is available for 10 minutes after cooking has finished. After that, the oven automatically switches off.
• When using the Food Probe (where applicable), the duration and end time functions do not operate.

Setting the delay end time

The delay end function can be used to switch the oven on and off at a specific time during the day.

1. Check the clock displays the correct time of day.
2. Select the desired oven function and cooking temperature.
3. Set the required cook time.
4. Touch the ‘delay end’ + symbol to move the end time.
5. Touch ‘OK’ or after 8 seconds from the last time adjustment the SET icon will light and the oven is now programmed. The oven will start its cooking cycle to finish at the set ‘end time’.
6. When the oven has finished cooking, cook time can be extended or the beeper turned off just as in ‘cook time’ mode.

7. Touch the ‘delay end’ + symbol to move the end time forward.

8. Touch ‘OK’ or after 8 seconds from the last time adjustment the SET icon will light and the oven is now programmed.

COOKING GUIDE

TRADITIONAL BAKING

FAN COOKING

BREAD BAKING

GRILLING

Grilling hints

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 natural juices.
• Grill with the door closed.

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

• 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.

For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:

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

WARNING

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

• Baste the food during grilling with butter, olive oil or marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated before cooking.
• Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface and will let juices escape.

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.

CLEANING

CAUTION A steam cleaner is not to be used to clean the product.

Cleaning procedure

1. With oven turned off, fill the water tank with a cleaning solution of 850mL of water and 50mL of citric acid.
2. Let sit for approximately 60 minutes.
3. Turn on the oven and set to ‘steam cooking’. Set the temperature to 230°C. After 25 minutes, turn off the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes. Turn on the oven again and set to ‘steam cooking’. Set the temperature to 180°C. After 10 minutes, turn off the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes. Insert the supplied drain pipe and empty the tank of remaining water. When tank is empty, remove the drain pipe.
4. To flush cleaning solution from water tank, refill the water tank with 850mL fresh water and empty via the drain pipe.
5. Remove the drain pipe again and clean by hand in warm water with soap.
6. To prevent build up of calcium deposits it is recommended to use this procedure every months.

Pyrolytic cleaning of the oven cavity (not applicable to EVE607)

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.

• Please keep small children at a safe distance.
• Never clean non-stick baking trays and tins in the oven during the pyrolytic cycle. High temperatures damage the non-stick coating and poisonous gas is released.
• Do not put water into the water tank during the cleaning procedure.
• To prevent damage, do not use acids, sprays or similar cleaning agents.

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

• All accessories must be removed from the oven, including shelves, trays and side racks.
• Clean large deposits, spills or grease from the oven cavity.
• If you have a steam oven ensure the water tank is empty.
• Choose your Pyrolytic cleaning cycle from the following:

NOTE: Duration includes heat-up time, excluding cool-down time.

Light clean

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.

Medium clean

Use this as the regular cycle about once every months.

Heavy clean

When the oven is very dirty it may need a longer cycle to clean it thoroughly. This cycle will clean the dirtiest of ovens.

Turning the oven on

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.

Selecting the upper or lower oven

(EVEP626)

This model is equipped with two ovens. Use the oven selector symbol to toggle between the upper and lower ovens.

The oven cavity icon on the control panel will show which oven is currently active.

Only one cavity can be cleaned at a time.

Select the pyrolytic clean function.

Use cooking function selector to slect the 'pyro clean’ function.

Selecting the required cleaning cycle

Use the ‘cook time’ control to select Light, Medium or Heavy depending on the soiling of the oven.

Start Pyrolytic

Unlike other cooking functions, you MUST touch ‘OK’ for the pyrolytic cycle to start. The display will prompt you to remove all shelves and trays. You must touch ‘OK’ again to start. The oven light will then go out and the Pyrolytic function will start.

IMPORTANT

At the beginning of pyrolytic cleaning the door will automatically lock will appear on the display.

During the pyrolytic cleaning cycle there may be some burn off odours. It is advised to keep the room well ventilated during this cycle.

(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 Pyrolytic cleaning

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.

Cleaning Reminder

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”.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

• Always cook with the oven door closed.
• Stand clear when opening the drop down oven door.
• Do not allow it to fall open. Always support the door using the door handle until it is fully open.
• Do not lean on an open oven door, or place heavy items on it. This could damage the appliance. Take care in the region of the hinges.

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.

• Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
• Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
• To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position.
• Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning.
• Single level cooking gives best results in conventional modes that do not use the oven fan. If cooking on more than one level, use the fan cooking function.
