BUILT-IN OVEN
Now that your new Astro oven is installed and ready to use, you will want to know everything about it to ensure excellent results right from the start.
This booklet will introduce you to the features and special talents of Astro. It also includes a comprehensive cooking guide and a number of easy food
ideas and recipes. We recommend you read the whole book before you start using your oven, for the sake of safety as well as success.
FIRST USE
Check that the clock is set correctly as on page 4. Remove accessories and condition the oven by running at Fan Bake, 200°C for 1 hour before
using it. There will be a distinctive smell, this is perfectly normal but make sure your kitchen is well ventilated during the conditioning period.
You can season your Pizza Stone at the same time by wiping the surface with a damp cloth and putting it in the oven while conditioning.

COOKING OPTIONS
Your Astro oven has 8 cooking options. On the oven control panel each option is represented by a symbol.
Uses heat from the lower element only. The oven needs to be preheated on Bake or Fan Bake.
Use Classic Bake for quiches, slices, anything you want browner on the bottom than top. CLASSIC BAKE
Lower element.
Traditional method of cooking, most suitable for food that requires long cooking or cooking at a
low temperature e.g. fruit cakes. The oven should be preheated first and is best for single trays. BAKE
Top & lower heating element.
The fan forces hot air from an element around the fan throughout the oven. This is good for cooking several
dishes or trays at one time, as you don’t have to worry about food being too close to the elements and
burning. It is really good for more than one tray of baking and for casseroles or oven meals.
FAN FORCED
Fan plus fan element.
A fan at the back of the oven circulates hot air from the top and lower
elements. Fan Bake tends to brown food more quickly so you may need to lower
the temperature. It is good for crisping foods e.g. pastry products and slices.
FAN BAKE
Fan plus top & lower elements.

7
DEFROST
Fan only. Defrost circulates air from the fan without heat, to prevent food from drying out or starting
to cook. Thawed food should be removed from the oven and refrigerated until needed.
Multi trays may be defrosted.
ECO GRILL
Top inner element. Uses the inner area of the top element. Use for single servings or small pieces of food.
GRILL
Top inner & outer elements. Grill cooks a large area of food using the two top elements. For best results leave the door
open at first stop position. Grilled vegetables are quick and have a wonderful flavour.
FAN GRILL
Fan plus top elements. The fan circulates the heat from the top elements. This is excellent for foods that
would normally be fried. Large cuts of meat cooked on Fan Grill give a result similar to
using a rotisserie. Dishes such as lasagne and moussaka can also be Fan Grilled.
INSPIRATION
Grill large slices of fruit e.g. bananas, mango,
peaches. Sprinkle with brown sugar, drizzle with
brandy and serve with ice cream.

INSPIRATION
A delicious fruit crumble can be made by combining flour, sugar, butter, coconut and sunflower seeds. Sprinkle over
sliced apples and rhubarb flavoured with lemon juice and raw sugar. Fan Bake at 180°C for approximately 30 minutes.
