A word on induction cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology.
It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than
indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan
eventually warms it up. This technology has a number of advantages over traditional radiant
energy cooking:
zHeat-up times are much faster.
zUse is safer as no heating takes place unless a suitable pan is placed on
the cooking zone.
zAs heat is transferred without loss, you save energy.

FIRST USE
Conditioning the oven
It is important to condition your oven before using it for cooking and baking. Conditioning
will burn off any manufacturing residues and ensure that you get the best results right from
the start.
Before you start:
zMake sure you have removed all packaging and any cable ties used to secure the
shelving during transit.
zMake sure all shelves are fitted in the oven.
zMake sure you have set the clock. If the clock has not been set the cooling fans will come
on but the oven lights will remain off and the oven will not heat up.
then...
2 Set the temperature to 200°C
for 30 minutes.
zWhile the oven is heating up, the
temperature indicator light will glow.
zWhen the oven has reached set
temperature, the temperature indicator
light will go out.
1 Select the Bake function.
zThe oven will come on.
3 After 10 minutes, select the Fan Grill function.
zHeat at 200°C for 10 minutes.
4 After 10 minutes, select the Fan Forced function.
zHeat at 200°C for 20 minutes.
Note:
zThere will be a distinctive smell and a small amount of smoke during the conditioning
process as manufacturing residue is burnt off. This is normal, but make sure the kitchen
is well ventilated while the oven is conditioning.
zOnce cooled, wipe out the oven with a damp cloth and mild detergent,
and dry thoroughly.

COOKING GUIDE
Oven cooking guidelines
IMPORTANT!
zUse all the oven modes with the oven door closed.
zNever use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line the floor of the oven. The
trapped heat can irreversibly damage the enamel and may even cause fire.
zDo not place water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor, as this will
irreversibly damage the enamel.
zDo not cover the grill pan with aluminum foil. This will catch the grease and
could cause fire.
zDo not use plastic wrap or wax paper in the oven.
zFor food safety reasons, do not leave food in the oven for longer than two hours before
and after cooking or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may
cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.
Baking
zFor best results when baking, always preheat your oven. The temperature indicator will
go out when the set temperature is reached.
zWhile the oven is heating the grill element may be on.
zDo not open the door until at least ¾ of the way through cooking.
zMake sure cake pans do not touch each other or the sides of the oven.
zWhen baking double the recipe (especially cookies) cook time may need to increase.
zYour cookware will influence baking times. Dark pans absorb the heat more quickly than
reflective pans; glass cookware may require a lower temperature
zMulti-shelf baking may also require a slight increase in cooking time.
Shelf Position Guide
zSingle shelf: place your baking on a shelf that will have the top of your pan near the
center of the oven cavity.
zMulti shelf: always leave a space between shelves to allow the air to circulate.

COOKING GUIDE
Roasting
zUse Fan Grill to roast whole chicken.
zFor other meats use Bake for a succulent juicy flavoursome roast.
zBoneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer than roasts containing bones.
zUse a meat thermometer to determine when meat is cooked.
zPoultry should be well cooked with the juices running clear and an internal
temperature of 75°C.
zFor crispy crackling first sear pork at a high temperature, then lower the temperature to
complete the cooking.
zIf multi-shelf cooking (eg if roasting meat on one shelf and vegetables on another)
use Fan Forced.
zCook larger cuts of meat for longer at a lower temperature. The meat will
cook more evenly.
zAlways roast meat fat side up. That way, basting may not be required.
zAlways rest the meat for at least 10 minutes after roasting to allow the juices to
settle. Remember the meat will continue to cook for a few minutes after removing it
from the oven.
Shelf Position Guide
Place the meat on a shelf so that the meat is in the centre of the oven or lower.
Grilling
zThis is a healthier alternative to frying.
zAlways grill with the oven door completely shut.
zFor best results allow 5 minutes of preheat before placing food in the oven.
zIf you use glass or ceramic pans, be sure they can withstand the high
temperatures of the grill.
zTo avoid piercing the meat and letting juices escape, use tongs or a spatula to turn the
meat halfway through cooking.
zBrush meat with a little oil to help keep the meat moist during cooking. Alternatively
marinade the meat before grilling (but be aware that some marinades may burn easily).
zWhere possible grill cuts of meat of a similar thickness at the same time. This will
ensure even cooking.
zAlways keep a close watch on your food while grilling to avoid charring or burning.
Shelf Position Guide
zFor thinner cuts of meat, toasting or browning foods, use a higher shelf position.
zThicker cuts of meats should be grilled on lower shelves or at a lower grill setting to
ensure even cooking.
Reheating
zUse Bake or Fan Bake to reheat food.
zAlways reheat food to piping hot. This reduces the risk of contamination by
harmful bacteria.
zOnce hot, set the oven temperature to WARM to keep food hot.
zNever reheat a food more than once.
zAny condensation that forms during the cooking process will collect in the drip channel,
below the door. This may be mopped up using a sponge once the oven has cooled.

15
OVEN FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
zUse all the functions with the oven door closed.
zSafe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and
after cooking or defrosting. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may
cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.
Upper outer and lower elements
zHeat comes from both the upper and lower elements. The fan is not used in this function.
zIdeal for cakes and foods that require baking for a long time or at low temperatures.
zThis function is not suitable for multi-shelf cooking.
Ideal for moist foods that take a longer time to cook eg rich fruit cake or bread.
Upper elements
zThis function delivers intense radiant heat from the upper elements.
zYou can set the intensity of the heat by altering the temperature setting.
zFor best results allow 5 minutes of preheat before placing food in the oven.
zThe most suitable function for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top
of potato gratin and frittata.
zEnsure you centre the dish under the inner grill element.
Ideal for toasting bread or for top browning to ‘finish off dishes’.
Grill
This is not a cooking function
zOnly the oven light comes on. It remains on in all the cooking functions.

OVEN FUNCTIONS
Fan and rear element
zBy using the central rear heating element and fan, hot air is blown into the cavity,
providing a consistent temperature at all levels, making it perfect for multi-shelf cooking.
zTrays of cookies cooked on different shelves are crisp on the outside and
chewy in the middle.
zMeat and poultry are deliciously browned and sizzling while remaining juicy and tender.
zCasseroles are cooked to perfection and reheating is quick and efficient.
zWhen multi-shelf cooking it is important to leave a gap between trays (eg use shelves 3
& 5) to allow the air to move freely. This enables the browning of foods on the lower tray.
zIf converting a recipe from Bake to Fan Forced, we recommend that you decrease the
bake time or decrease the temperature by approximately 20°C.
zFor items with longer bake times (eg over an hour) it may be necessary to decrease both
time and temperature.
Ideal for multi-shelf cooking biscuits, cookies, scones, muffins and cupcakes.
Fan plus upper elements
zThis function uses the intense heat from the upper elements for top browning and the
fan to ensure even cooking of foods.
zMeat, poultry and vegetables cook beautifully; food is crisp and brown on the outside
while the inside remains moist and tender.
Ideal for whole chicken, tenderloin of beef or grilling your favourite chicken, fish or steak.
Fan Grill
This is not a cooking function
zOnly the oven light comes on. It remains on in all the cooking functions.

17
OVEN FUNCTIONS
This is not a cooking function
zProvides a constant low heat of less than 90°C.
zUse to keep cooked food hot, or to warm plates and serving dishes. To reheat food from
cold, use another oven function to heat the food piping hot and only then change to
Warm, as this function alone will not bring cold food up to a high enough temperature to
kill any harmful bacteria.
Proving bread
This function is perfect for proving bread dough.
1 Select the Warm function
2 Adjust the temperature to 50°C
3 Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap
and/or a clean damp cloth
4 Place the bowl into the warmed oven on shelf position 1
Fan plus upper outer and lower elements
zThe oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and the lower elements and distributes
it around the oven cavity.
zFood cooked tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on the
traditional Bake function.
zYou may need to decrease the time from that recommended in traditional recipes.
zUse Fan Bake at a low temperature eg 50°C for drying fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Ideal for single shelf baking that takes less than an hour to cook – foods such as muffins,
scones and cupcakes or things like enchiladas.
