4Safety and warnings
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.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.
Operation
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:
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard
Turn the oven off at the wall before replacing the oven lamp.
Failure to follow this advice may result in death or electrical shock.
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
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!
Cut Hazard
Take care - some edges are sharp.
Failure to use caution could result in injury or cuts.

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 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 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.
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.
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.
Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

6Safety and warnings
Important safety instructions
Caution. Hot air can blow from the vent at the top 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 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.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.
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
Off
Selecting this will turn the oven off.
Bake
This is the traditional method of baking. It is best to bake on only one shelf at a time in this
function. Ideal for large cakes and dishes that bake for several hours.
Fan Bake
Ideal for dishes like lasagne that need to brown on top and also single trays of small cakes or
biscuits that bake in less than an hour.
Grill
Grill is the most suitable function for ‘finishing off’ many meals, for example browning the top
of potato gratin and frittata. Use Grill to toast bread or to grill your favourite chicken, fish and
steak. Note: heat levels are from LO (50% power) to HI (100% power), with settings from 1 to 9 in
between. Grill provides instant radiant heat, so the temperature dial halo will stay red.
Fan Grill
Ideal for roasting tender cuts of meat and poultry. Use the lower shelf positions for larger items
eg a whole chicken.
Fan Forced
Great for multi-shelf cooking. The consistent temperature ensures baking is well risen. Cookies
baked on Fan Forced are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle.
Pastry Bake
Excellent for sweet and savoury foods. Ideal for foods that require base heat for cooking and only
gentle browning on top. Perfect for custard tarts, quiches, pizza and pies.
Roast
No pre-heating of the oven required. The meat is seared during an initial 20-minute grilling
stage, then baked at the set temperature for the rest of the time, producing a tender, juicy, and
flavourful roast. Great for roasting vegetables too.
Rotisserie
Rotisserie is a delicious way to cook meat and poultry. The slowly rotating food is basted
continuously in its own juices, making it tender on the inside and well browned and full of
flavour on the outside. See ‘Using the rotisserie’.
Warm
Use this function to keep cooked food hot and to warm plates and serving dishes. To reheat food
from cold, use a cooking function at 150°C, then switch to Warm set between 70-90°C only when
the food is piping hot. Note: this function is not for cooking food and the temperature cannot be
set higher than 90°C.
This function is also ideal for proving bread dough. Set the temperature to 40 °C.

12 Using the rotisserie
1 Prepare the rotisserie supports.
Place the grill tray on the
benchtop.
Insert the supports into the lock
studs making sure the supports
face inwards.
Push the supports all the way
down to lock them in firmly.
3 Position the skewer on the supports.
Place the skewer on the
supports, and check that the
meat does not touch the grill
tray.
Twist the handle off. It must not
be left in the oven.
4 Place the rotisserie in the oven.
Slide the grill tray all the way to
the back on shelf position 1.
Push the skewer through the
hole cover on the right-hand
wall of the oven, then insert it
fully into the rotisserie drive
hole.
2 Secure the meat. Slide one fork onto the
skewer first, followed by the meat and
the the second fork.
Important!
Take care, the forks are sharp!
When securing the meat, ensure that:
the skewer goes through the
centre of the meat.
the forks hold the meat firmly in
place.
the fork screws are tightened.
there are no loose or projecting
parts. Poultry should be trussed.
Note: the rotisserie can rotate up
to 6 kg of meat.

Using the rotisserie
When you have finished using the rotisserie
1 Turn the oven off.
2 Using oven mitts, carefully disengage the right end of the skewer from the rotisserie drive hole.
3 Slide out the grill tray and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
4 Twist the handle onto the left end of the skewer.
5 Lift the skewer off the supports by the handle.
6 Loosen the fork screws and slide the meat off the skewer.
Tips for using the rotisserie
For food safety reasons, we do not recommend using the rotisserie with stuffed meat.
If your meat is too big or heavy (over 6 kg) for the skewer, place it on top of the grill rack in the
grill tray, and use Fan Forced . This function will give a result similar to a rotisserie.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that meat is cooked through to a safe temperature.
See ‘Care and cleaning’ for advice on cleaning the rotisserie parts.
5 Select the Rotisserie function.
The skewer will start rotating.
Check that the meat does not touch
the grill tray or the grill element at the
top of the oven.
6 Set the temperature.
We recommend around 200-210 °C.
Note: The rotisserie will not rotate when the
oven door is open.

Automatic cooking
You can set the oven to automatically turn on later, cook for a preset time (cooking time), then
automatically turn off at a preset stop time. See the example and instructions below (steps 1 to 7).
If you start cooking manually and only want the oven to turn off automatically after a
set cooking time: simply set the cooking time following steps 1 to 3 below. The oven will
automatically turn off when the cooking time is over.
Important!
Safe 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.
Example: It is 11:05 a.m. You want your food to cook for 1 hour, and you would like it to be ready
by lunchtime (12:30 p.m.)

Cooking chart
Please note:
The settings in the following chart are guidelines only. Follow the instructions in your recipe or
on food packaging and be prepared to adjust the oven settings, shelf positions and baking times
to achieve the best possible results for you.
Shelf positions are counted from the base up (1 is the lowest, 4 the highest).
Arrange oven shelves before you turn the oven on, then preheat the oven to the required
temperature. Place items in the oven only when the long tone has sounded and the temperature
dial halo has turned from red to white.*
Single shelf positions below use the flat oven shelf; where a multi shelf arrangement is
recommended, the higher position uses the step-down shelf.
Due to the width of the oven, a single shelf can usually accommodate double the standard
recipe.
