OVEN RACK AND PAN POSITION DIAGRAMS
Please refer to the chart below for suggested Oven Rack, Baking Tray/Drip
Pan, and Air Fryer Basket positions.
Rack Position 1 and Position 2 are marked on the right side housing when
the door is opened.
AIR FRY FUNCTION
TIP: For best results, use the provided Air Fryer Basket fitted into the Baking
Tray/Drip Pan .
The Air Fry function can be used at 90°C – 230°C for up to 1 hour. This function
is used to air fry food and meals as a healthy alternative to deep frying in oil. A
high fan speed and multiple heating elements circulate hot air from the top down
to prepare a variety of meals that can be both delicious and healthier than tradi-
tional frying.
• Default setting: 220°C; 12minutes
• Many foods that can be fried can be air-fried without using excess amounts of
oil. Air-fried foods will taste lighter and be less greasy than deep-fried foods.
• Air-frying doesn’t require oil, but a light spray can enhance browning and
crispiness. Use an oil sprayer or a nonstick olive oil cooking spray to keep it
extra light, a pastry brush to evenly coat, or pour a little oil into a bowl, add
food, and toss.
•
Most oils can be used for air-frying. Olive oil is preferred for a richer flavour.
Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oils are recommended for milder flavours.
• An assortment of coatings can be used on air-fried foods.
Some examples of different crumb mixtures include: breadcrumbs,
seasoned breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes and potato
chips. Various flours, including gluten-free, and other dry foods like cornmeal
work very well.
• Most foods do not need to be turned during cooking, but larger items, like
chicken drumsticks, should be turned halfway through the cooking cycle to
ensure they are evenly cooked and browning results.
• When air-frying large quantities of food that fill the pan, toss food halfway
through the cooking cycle to ensure evenly cooked results and colour.
• Use higher temperatures for foods that cook quickly, like bacon and chips. Use
lower temperatures for foods that take longer to cook, like crumbed chicken.
• Foods will cook more evenly if they are cut into the same-size pieces.
• Please note that many foods release water when they cook. When cooking
large quantities for an extended period of time, condensation may build up,
which could leave moisture on your countertop.

SLOW COOK FUNCTION
Slow can be used at 40°C – 150°C for up to 12 hours. Use this function to cook
at low temperatures — perfect for braising, slow cooking and more.
Default: 100°C for 2 hours.
NOTE: After using the SLOW COOK Function for the first time, the oven's
Smart Memory function will remember your last setting and revert to this
rather than the default setting. This is provided that your oven is not turned
off and unplugged at the power since last use.
• For slow-cooked dishes with crispy exteriors and soft interiors, place ingredients
directly on the Baking Tray/Drip Pan
• For results that are most similar to recipes cooked in a slow cooker,
place ingredients into a covered, ovenproof dish with liquid coming up
one-third of the way
• When using the Slow Cook function, it is important to seal the cooking dish
well with foil or a secure fitted lid.
REHEAT FUNCTION
Reheat can be used at 90°C – 230°C for up to 2 hours. Use this function to
reheat leftovers.
Default: 120°C for 20 mins.
NOTE: After using the Reheat Function for the first time, the oven's Smart
Memory function will remember your last setting and revert to this rather
than the default setting. This is provided that your oven is not turned off
and unplugged at the power since last use.
WARM FUNCTION
Warm can be used at 60°C – 150°C for up to 2 hours. Use this function to keep
food warm once cooked.
Default: 70°C for 30 mins.

NOTE: After using the Warm Function for the first time, the oven's Smart
Memory function will remember your last setting and revert to this rather
than the default setting. This is provided that your oven is not turned off
and unplugged at the power since last use.
• One great way to use the Dual Cook feature described below is to add Warm at
the end of a cooking function so your dish is held at the proper serving temperature
DUAL COOK
Dual Cook is a special feature that enables you to combine two cooking functions
with temperatures and timings and run them consecutively. This is ideal for those
recipes that require multiple cooking steps. Some examples are:
• Starting a casserole or a dish like nachos, use Bake to heat through and then
switch to Grill for a melted and browned cheese top.
• Beginning a dish on a higher heat to achieve a crispy crust and then reducing
temperature for tender results similar to slow cooking.
• Baking a dish then switching to the Keep Warm function to keep food ready
until serving
• Browning pork rind at a high temperature on Air Fry to produce crackling then
switching to the Roast function to complete cooking.
The functions that you may program using Dual Cook are Bake, Grill, Roast,
Pizza, Slow, Warm and Air Fry.
1. Press the Dual Cook button
2. The oven will display available functions for the first cooking cycle. Turn the
Selector Dial to desired function and press the Selector Dial to set.
3. Set temperature for this function, then press the Selector Dial. Time will now
flash. Set time, then press Selector Dial.
4. LCD screen will then show functions that can be selected for the second
stage. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to program second function, temperature
and time.
Start/Stop will flash, indicating you are able to initiate cooking cycle
5. Press Start/Stop to start cooking on the first function.
6. When the first cycle is finished, the oven will automatically switch to the
second cooking function.
7. When time reaches 0:00 and the second function cycle is completed, the oven
will beep and heating elements will turn off.
NOTE: When the oven is running in the first function, you may check your
settings for the second function by pushing the Dual Cook button. The display
will show the second function settings for a few seconds and then revert to
display for the first function.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Always unplug the oven from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool
completely before cleaning
• The oven interior has a non-stick coating which needs to be cleaned as per
below, after every use. The slide out Crumb Tray should be checked and
cleaned after every use if required.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the finish. Simply wipe the
exterior with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply the cleansing agent
to a cloth, not directly onto the toaster oven, before cleaning
• To clean interior walls, use a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap solution or a
spray solution on a sponge. Remove any residue from cleaners with a clean,
damp rag. Never use harsh abrasives or corrosive products. These could
damage the oven surface. Never use steel wool pads, etc., on interior of oven
• Cleaning the accessories:
– Oven Rack and Crumb Tray should be hand-washed in hot, sudsy water, or
use a nylon scouring pad or nylon brush, and thoroughly rinsed. These items
are NOT dishwasher safe.
– Baking Tray/Drip Pan and Air Fryer Basket are stainless steel, dishwasher
safe or can be hand-washed in hot, sudsy water, or use a nylon scouring pad
or nylon brush, and thoroughly rinsed.
• After cooking greasy foods and once your oven has cooled, always clean top of
oven interior. If this is done on a regular basis, your oven will perform like new.
Removing the grease will help to keep toasting consistent, cycle after cycle
•
To remove crumbs, slide out the front Crumb Tray and discard crumbs. Wipe clean
and replace. To remove baked-on grease, soak the tray in hot, sudsy water or use
nonabrasive cleaners. Never operate the oven without the Crumb Tray in place

TROUBLESHOOTING
Operation
Why won’t my appliance turn
on?
Make sure your appliance is plugged into a functional 230/240v power outlet.
Make sure the oven door is closed, as it has an auto-cut out feature when the door is ajar.
Call Consumer Service at 1800 808 971.
Why does the fan remain on
after cooking?
The fan remains on for cooling purposes.
Why does the light turn off? The light only stays on for 20 seconds each time the Light button is pressed to conserve energy. This is normal.
Programming
Can I change my cooking
function when the appliance is
already cooking?
You need to rst interrupt the current cooking function by pressing Start/Stop. Then the appliance will go back to
selection menu and desired cooking function can be chosen.
Can I change the time
or temperature when the
appliance is already cooking?
Yes. Simply turn the Selector Dial during cooking to add time. To change the temperature, press the Selector Dial and,
when the temperature is ashing, turn the Selector Dial to increase/decrease temperature.
Cooking Why is my food not crispy or
fried evenly?
Some foods may require more oil than others. If not crispy enough, spray, brush or add some oil on the food.
Make sure food is spread evenly in one single layer in the Air Fryer Basket with no overlap. If food still overlaps, toss or
ip food halfway through cooking cycle.
Put the food in for additional cooking time. Make sure to check periodically until food reaches desired brownness.
Do not leave oven unattended.
Why is my food undercooked? If you put too much food in the basket, try with smaller batches of food and single layers, rather than stacking food on
top of each other.
The temperature might be too low. Use the Selector Dial to increase temperature.
When preparing greasy foods, oil may leak into the pan which may produce steam. This will not affect the appliance or
the end result. It may fog up the viewing window on the sides or corners.
Why does condensation
and steam come out of my
appliance? When preparing foods with a high moisture content, the water evaporates out of the food and causes condensation.
This will not affect the appliance or the end result. It may fog up the viewing window on the sides or corners
The pan, basket, or bottom of the oven may contain grease residue from previous use. Make sure to clean the pan,
basket and oven interior after each use. Remove and clean the crumb tray after each use.
Cleaning Are the parts dishwasher safe? The Baking Tray/Drip Pan and the Air Fryer Basket are stainless steel and dishwasher safe.
Do not put the Crumb Tray or the Wire Rack in the dishwasher; instead, hand-wash with warm, sudsy water.
How do I clean tough-to-
remove food residue from my
accessories?
To remove baked-on grease, soak the accessories in hot, sudsy water or use a nonabrasive cleanser.

Dessert Wontons Two Ways
Get everyone involved in creating their own wonton at your next party. Sure to
make a sweet memory.
Makes 24 wontons
Chocolate-Peanut Butter-Banana:
¼ Cup thickened cream
30g Dark cooking chocolate, finely chopped
½ Cup smooth peanut butter
24 1½ cm thick slices of banana, (about 2 ripe bananas)
Wontons:
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon water
24 Wonton wrappers, square
Nonstick cooking spray
Icing sugar for dusting
