Operation
Your oven has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal cooking procedures.
Please keep the following guidelines in mind when you are using your oven:
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 colour. 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 and window, which could also become hot enough to cause
burns.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn the oven off at the wall before replacing fuses or the oven lamp.
Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.

Safety and warnings
Important safety instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the oven,
follow the important safety precautions 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 earthed 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.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured or
a fire could start.
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 or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a
responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can use
the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings.
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.
Storage in or on appliance: flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near its
surface.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the fire or flame or use a dry chemical or foam type
extinguisher.
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.
Caution. Hot air can blow from the vent at the base of the oven as part of the oven’s cooling
system.
Do not place aluminium foil, dishes, trays, water or ice on the oven floor during cooking, as this
will irreversibly damage the enamel.

4Safety and warnings
Placement of oven racks (shelves): always position racks (shelves) in the desired location while
the oven is cool (before preheating). If a rack (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 door seal or cavity seals (gaskets) or use any oven-cleaning products on them.
They are essential for a good seal, which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage or move them.
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.
Before starting a self-clean cycle, remove oven shelves/racks, side racks/shelf supports, griller pan
and all other cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.
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.

Oven Functions
BAKING
TRUE AERO: fan plus fan element
A concealed heating element surrounding the fan in the rear of the oven heats air,
which is then blown into the cavity. The consistent temperature ensures baking is
well risen and evenly coloured. Cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy in the
middle, meat and poultry are deliciously browned and sizzling while remaining
juicy and tender. Casseroles are cooked to perfection and reheating is quick and
efficient. TRUE AERO is the function to choose for multi-shelf cooking and complete
oven meals.
AERO BAKE: fan plus upper and lower elements
The oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and the lower concealed
elements and distributes it around the oven cavity. Food cooked using the AERO
BAKE function tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on the traditional
BAKE function. Use AERO BAKE at a low temperature – 50°C– for drying fruit,
vegetables and herbs.
BAKE: upper and lower elements
Heat comes from the top outer and lower concealed elements. BAKE is the
traditional baking function, ideal for cakes. If baking on two shelves, arrange dishes
so no item is directly over another. BAKE is ideal for foods that require baking for a
long time or at low temperatures, like meringues and rich fruitcakes.
AERO PASTRY: fan plus lower element
The fan circulates heat from the lower concealed element throughout the oven.
Excellent for sweet and savoury pastry foods, for moist breads and brownies and
cookies that you want extra chewy.
PASTRY BAKE: lower element
Heat comes from the lower element only. This is a traditional baking function,
suitable for recipes that were developed in older ovens. For best results, bake on
only one shelf at a time. It is perfect for foods that require delicate baking and have
a pastry base, like custard tarts, pies, quiches and cheesecake or anything that does
not require direct heat and browning on the top.
ROASTING
ROAST
This is a two-step program. The oven does not require preheating. An initial 20-
minute searing stage crisps and browns the roast and caramelises the juices on the
outside of the meat , then the temperature drops to the level you have preset for
the remainder of the cooking period, producing a tender and juicy roast that is full
of flavour. This function is also great for cooking vegetables. Little browning takes
place after the initial searing.
