Your oven has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal cooking
procedures. Please keep the following safety instructions in mind when you are using it:
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn the oven off at the wall before replacing the oven lamp.
Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock or death.
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
Follow the instructions on starting a Self Clean cycle carefully. Items
made from combustible materials (for example: wood, fabric, plastic)
may catch fire if left in the oven during a Self Clean cycle.
Do not place aluminium foil, dishes, trays, water or ice on the oven floor
during cooking, as doing so will irreversibly damage the enamel; lining
the oven with aluminium foil may even cause fire.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Persons
could be
burned or injured or a fire could start.
Storage in or on appliance: flammable materials should not be stored in
an oven or near its surface.
Failure to follow this advice may result in overheating, burning, and
injury.
WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot when in use.
To avoid burns and scalds, keep children away.
Use oven mitts or other protection when handling hot surfaces such as
oven shelves or dishes.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven. Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns - among these surfaces are the oven vent, the surface near the
oven vent, and the oven door.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons or damage when using the
oven, follow the important safety instructions listed below:
● Read all the instructions before using the oven. Use the oven only for its intended
purpose as described in these instructions.
● Proper installation: be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
● Isolating switch: make sure this oven is connected to a circuit which incorporates an
isolating switch providing full disconnection from the power supply.
● Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.
● Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
● Children of less than 8 years old must be kept away from the appliance unless
continuously supervised. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and they understand the hazards
involved. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children without
supervision.
● Do not place heavy objects on the oven door.
● Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose fitting or hanging garments when using the
appliance. They could ignite or melt if they touch an element or hot surface and you
could be burned.
● User servicing: do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
● Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the fire or flame or use a dry chemical or
foam type extinguisher.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
● Use only dry oven mitts or potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
could result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot areas or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or a bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch fire.
● Do not heat unopened food containers. They can build up pressure that may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
● Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and
after cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food
poisoning. Take particular care during warm weather.
● Always keep oven vents unobstructed.
● Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-
control system.
● Caution: Hot air can blow from the vent at the base of the oven as part of the oven’s
cooling system.
● Placement of oven shelves: always position shelves in the desired location while the
oven is cool (before preheating). If a shelf must be removed while the oven is hot, do
not let the oven mitts or potholder contact hot heating elements in the oven or the
base of the oven.
● Do not clean the oven seal or use any oven-cleaning products on it. It is essential for a
good seal, which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or move it.
● Do not use oven cleaners, harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, or polishes. No
commercial oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any kind should be
used in or around any part of the oven. Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they scratch the surface,
which may result in the glass shattering.
● Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
● Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.
● Double oven models only:
● You can only Self Clean one oven at a time, and whilst in a Self Clean cycle, the other
oven cannot be used.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
● Before starting a Self Clean cycle, remove oven shelves, side racks, and all other
cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.
● Before starting a Self Clean cycle, make sure you move any pet birds to another,
closed and well-ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during a Self Clean cycle and may die if left in the same room as the oven
during such a cycle.
● During a Self Clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for
cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children
should be kept away.
● Do not store things children might want above the oven. Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on the oven to retrieve items.
● Do not install or operate the appliance if it is damaged or not working properly. If you
receive a damaged product, contact your dealer or installer immediately.
● Use only bakeware approved for oven use. Follow the bakeware manufacturer’s
instructions.
● The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to substances which are known by the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. Small amounts of harmful chemicals
are given off in the oven’s self-cleaning cycle from insulation and food decomposition.
Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Venting with a hood or open window, and wiping out excess food spills prior to self-
cleaning the oven reduces exposure.

BAKING
● For best results when baking, always pre heat your oven. The broil element may come
on for a short time while the oven is heating up. The halo will turn from red to white
when the preset temperature is reached.
● Do not open the door until at least  of the way through cooking.
● Make sure cake pans do not touch each other or the sides of the oven.
● When baking double the recipe (especially cookies) you may need to increase the time.
● Your cookware will influence baking times. Dark pans absorb the heat more quickly than
reflective pans; glass cookware may require a lower temperature.
● Multi-shelf baking may also require a slight increase in cooking time.
● Always leave a space between shelves when multi-shelf cooking to allow the air to
circulate.
Shelf Position Guide
Place your baking on a shelf that will have the top of your pan near the center of the
oven cavity.
ROASTING
● Your oven has a dedicated Roast function (some models only). This is designed to
brown the outside of the meat but still keep the inside moist and juicy.
● Use the meat probe for perfect results. See ‘Using the Meat Probe’.
● Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer than roasts containing bones.
● Poultry should be well cooked with the juices running clear and an internal temperature
● of 165°F / 75°C.
● If using a roasting bag, do not use the Roast function. The initial searing stage is too
hot for roasting bags. Use Aero Bake or True Aero and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
● When using the Roast function, do not cover your roast, as this will stop the searing
process browning the outside of the meat. If you prefer to roast in a covered pan, use
the Aero Bake function instead and increase the temperature by 70°F / 20°C.
● Cook larger cuts of meat at a lower temperature for a longer time. The meat will cook
more evenly.
● Always roast meat fat side up. That way, basting may not be required.
● Always 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 center of the oven or lower.

BROILING
● This is a healthier alternative to frying.
● Always broil with the oven door completely shut.
● If you use glass or ceramic pans, be sure they can withstand the high temperatures of
broiling.
● To avoid piercing the meat and letting juices escape, use tongs or a spatula to turn the
meat halfway through cooking.
● Brush meat with a little oil to help keep the meat moist during cooking. Alternatively
marinate the meat before broiling (but be aware that some marinades may burn easily).
Where possible broil cuts of meat of a similar thickness at the same time. This will
ensure even cooking.
● Always keep a close watch on your food while broiling to avoid charring or burning.
● The three-piece broil/roast system (some models only) provided with your oven
(consisting of the pan, grid and rack) has been designed to reduce splatter and smoke,
and is therefore ideal for broiling and roasting. We suggest you place meat on the broil/
roast rack (on top of the pan and grid) to allow hot air to circulate around it. This gives
more even browning and a result similar to a rotisserie.
● On occasions, you may want to use only two pieces of the system. For example, when
roasting a large turkey, use only the pan and grid for greater stability.
Shelf Position Guide
● For thinner cuts of meat, toasting or browning foods, use a higher shelf position.
● Thicker cuts of meats should be broiled on lower shelves or at a lower broil setting to
ensure even cooking.
REHEATING
● Use Bake or Aero Bake to reheat food.
● Bake function is particularly good for reheating pastry based items, as the base heat will
help re-crisp the pastry case.
● Always reheat food to piping hot. This reduces the risk of contamination by harmful
bacteria.
● Once hot, use the Warm function to keep the food warm.
● Never reheat a food more than once.
