Grilling Procedure
12
Note: DO NOTallow young children near to the appliance when the grill is in use as the
surfaces get extremely hot.
AB
Step 1 Ensure the oven shelf is in the correct position (see Guide to Grilling
Successfully).
Ensure door is in the grilling position (see grilling page)
Step 2 Turn knob (A) clockwise to GRILL function
Step 3 Turn knob (B) anti-clockwise to select the Grill Setting (1–6).
NOTE: When using the grill, a gentle flow if air will be detected coming from
beneath the control panel.
Step 4 After use, turn both controls A & B to their off (0) position.
Notes: • Preheat the grill at setting 6 on the grill control for approximately 5 minutes.
• The grill pan must be placed on the correct shelf and positioned centrally under
the grill element.
• Leave the control at 6 for toast, and for fast cooking of foods.
• For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower setting
after the initial sealing on both sides at 6. The thicker the food, the lower the
control should be set.
• If excessive smoke is emitted reduce the setting.
•Do not line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this increases the amount of fat
spitting.
• Ensure that the Grill Pan is cleaned after use. Excessive fat build-up in the
bottom of the pan could cause a fire hazard.
• After use, always return both controls to their OFF (O) position.

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower
temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary.
For guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times”, see “Oven Temperature
Charts” later in book.
OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of heat in the
oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven for cooking as air
circulation is restricted.
OVEN UTENSILS
Do not use: Meat pans larger than 375mm x 300mm (15” x 12”)
Baking Trays larger than 325mm x 250mm (13” x10”)
An additional oven shelf can be purchased, from our Parts Department or your nearest retailer, if
a third one is required for batch baking. Never use more than three shelves in the oven at one
time as air circulation will be restricted.
TEMPERATURE & TIME
If three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary to increase the
cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due
to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an
even gap around the oven.
Using the Oven for Fan Cooking
14
NOTE: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary
to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be necessary to increase or
decrease cooking times.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the oven is in use as the surfaces
get extremely hot.
Fan
Oven

FAN OVEN OPERATION
Step 1 Ensure that the oven shelf is in the correct position.
Place food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Turn Oven / Grill selector, knob A anti-clockwise to FAN OVEN function.
Step 2 Turn knob (B) anti-clockwise and select the required cooking temperature
(80˚C to 230˚C). The pilot light will immediately come on, and remain on until
the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically
go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct
temperature.
Step 3 After use turn both controls to their Off (O) position.
NOTE: At the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam
when the door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a
perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

“SLOW” SETTING
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short
periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be
damaged in a hot oven.
ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE:
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.
The kitchen stays cooler.
OPERATION:
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.
2. Turn knob A to Fan Oven function.
Turn knob B to (slow cooking temperature).
STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container
and cool as soon as possible.
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.
4. Only re-heat food once.
POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING
1. Make sure that all the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room
for air to circulate.
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however,
it they are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may
be noticed.
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on
the slow setting.
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170oC for 30 minutes
before wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air
circulation) before turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately.
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking
with a meat thermometer before serving.
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend
placing frozen food in the oven to cook.
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the
top with foil to prevent loss of moisture.
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook
properly.
10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then
boiled for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.
12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to
avoid overcooking.

IF USING ALUMINIUM FOIL
1. Never allow foil to touch sides of oven. 2. Never cover interior with foil.
3. Never cover shelves with foil.
The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole
poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a joint of meat, or
the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat
thermometer will indicate when the required internal temperature has been
reached.

Cooking Results Not Satisfactory
GRILL
Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally
below the grill element.
Fat splattering Ensure that the grill pan is not lined with foil.
Ensure that the grill setting is not too high.
BAKING GENERAL
Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level.
Sinking of cakes The following may cause cakes to sink:
1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.
2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce
standard temperatures by 25˚C for fan ovens.
3. Using normal creaming method with a soft
margarine. If using soft margarine, use an all in
one method instead of the traditional creaming of
the margarine and sugar. Remember when using
a food mixer or processor not to over-cream soft
margarine.
Over/undercooking Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in
the Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it
may be necessary to increase or decrease
temperatures by 10˚C to suit personal taste.
Do not use utensils greater than 56mm (2l⁄4'') in
height for roasting.
