COOKING GUIDE
General guidelines
This range has been designed to utilise the bake burner, broiler and cavity fan in different
combinations to provide you with enhanced performance. The variety of functions, allows
you to cook all food types to perfection.
Oven elements
1 broil burner
2 cavity fan
3 bake burner (concealed)

Ensure all functions are used with the oven door closed.
Baking
zFor best results when baking, always pre-heat your oven.
zSingle shelf cooking: place your baking on a shelf that will position the top of your pan
near the centre of the oven.
zMulti shelf cooking: Always leave a space between shelves to allow the air to circulate.
Broiling
zAlways broil with the oven door completely shut.
zAlways keep a close watch on your food to avoid charring or burning.
zIf you use glass or ceramic pans, be sure they can withstand high oven temperatures.
zFor thinner cuts of meat, or for toasting or browning foods, use a higher shelf position.
zThicker cuts of meats should be broiled on lower shelves or at a lower broil setting to
ensure even cooking.
OVERVIEW IMAGE
Setting BROIL in the main cavity
Turn both the OVEN MODE and TEMPERATURE
dials to BROIL. The temperature is automatically
calibrated for optimal broiling.
Roasting
zBoneless, rolled or stuffed roasts require longer than roasts containing bones. Poultry
should be well cooked with the juices running clear and a minimum internal temperature
of 165°F (75°C).
zAlways roast meat fat side up.
zUse a meat thermometer to determine when meat is cooked.
zAlways rest the meat for at least 10 minutes after roasting to allow the juices to settle.
The meat will continue to cook for a few minutes after removing it from the oven.

18
COOKING GUIDE
Reheating
zNever reheat food more than once.
zUse BAKE to reheat food, once hot, use the BAKE function at 200°F (90°C) to keep the
food warm.
zAlways reheat food to piping hot, or to a minimum internal temperature of 185°F (85°C).
This reduces the risk of contamination.
zReheat food in a dish with a lid or cover tightly with foil.
Dough proofing
Proofing in the secondary cavity
Turn the secondary OVEN MODE dial to PROOF and
the secondary TEMPERATURE dial to WARM. Preheat
for 5 minutes before placing the dough in the oven.
Once dough has risen to size, remove and turn the
OVEN MODE dial to OFF.
Proofing in the main cavity
Turn the main OVEN MODE dial to BAKE and the
main TEMPERATURE dial to WARM. Heat for 5
minutes before turning the TEMPERATURE dial to
OFF and placing the dough in the oven.
Once dough has risen to size, remove and turn the
OVEN MODE dial to OFF.
zPlace dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean, damp cloth.
zPosition in the centre of the oven and to prevent overproofing check, every 30 minutes.
zWe recommend using the secondary cavity for proofing.
