RATING PLATE
This is situated on the front frame of the appliance
and can be seen upon opening the door.
Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on
the back or top of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
15 minutes at 220oC to burn off any residue from
their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated
with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
OVEN INDICATOR NEON
The light will indicate whether the oven is switched
on, the neon also indicates when the set temperature
has been reached. The neon will turn on and off
during use to show that the temperature is being
maintained.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance when opening the oven door to
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill
is switched on and after a period of time when the
oven is switched on. It may run on after the controls
are switched off until the appliance has cooled.
Note: The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the oven or grill has been used and at what
temperature. It may not run on where the grill or
oven has been used for a short time or at low
temperatures.
Do not switch the appliance off at its power point
until the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm
(12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.
TO USE THE MINUTE MINDER
To use the Minute Minder turn the control knob to the
required time.
The Minute Minder, when set, will mark the end of a
timed period with an acoustic alarm. The maximum
timing is 120 minutes.
Please Note: the longer the set time duration, the
longer the acoustic alarm will sound.
The Minute Minder will not affect in any way the oven
operation if it is in use.

16
WARNING – Accessible parts become hot
when the grill is in use. Keep children
away.
USES OF THE GRILL
The grill is situated in the top compartment.
The grill gives variable heat settings. Use the high
numbers for foods that cook quickly such as toast
and the lower numbers to cook thicker foods such as
chicken after it has been browned on the high
number.
HOW TO USE THE GRILL
1. To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the
grill control in either direction.
2. The highest number represents the hottest setting
and the lowest number the coolest.
3. Setting 5 represents the grill on Full.
At lower settings the grill may turn on and off over
time and you may prefer to use these settings for
keeping food warm. The food will however
continue to cook gently if the grill is used for this
purpose.
THINGS TO NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING
Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as
the grill cleans itself.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan has a removable handle.
To insert the handle, press the button on the handle
slightly upwards inserting the lip into the widest part
of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left,
lower into position and release the button.
Ensure the handle is properly located.
To remove the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly
upwards and towards the right to remove from the
bracket.
Protect your hands when removing the grill
pan handle.
Always remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure
that the cut out on the underside of the handle
bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf.
THE GRILL

17
The grill pan must not be located in the
shelf runners.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking.
Ensure that you support the grill pan when
it is withdrawn.
HINTS AND TIPS
·Most foods should be placed on the grilling grid
in the grill pan. This allows maximum circulation
of air by raising the food out of fats and juices.
·Adjust the grid and grill pan runner to allow for
different thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster cooking and
further away for more gentle cooking.
·The grill pan is reversible. This is useful if you
want to cook foods of varying thicknesses. As a
general rule, bread for toasting should be placed
on the grid in the ‘high’ position in the grill pan.
Foods such as chicken pieces or chops may be
grilled using the grilling grid in the low position.
·Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish
lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.
·Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
·The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.
·The grill door must be left open when grilling.
For convenience the grill door can be left ajar.
·Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes
before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat
setting and the shelf position as necessary during
cooking.

USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The Fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking
larger quantities of food, or for weekend or
celebration meals.
The advantages of Fan oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The Fan oven quickly reaches its temperature so it is
not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without
preheating however you may need to add an extra 5
– 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
For recipes needing high temperatures e.g. bread,
pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best
results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready
meals preheat the oven first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the
temperatures recommended in the chart on page 21
until you are familiar with the lower temperatures
associated with Fan oven cooking. As a guide
reduce temperatures by 20°C - 25°C for your own
recipes, using a conventional oven.
BATCH BAKING
The Fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels,
especially useful when batch baking.
HOW TO USE THE FAN OVEN
1. Turn the Fan oven temperature control to the
required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
·The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven
has reached the desired temperature and then
go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
The oven fan will operate continually during
cooking.
·The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time. See page 14 for further details on the
operation of the cooling fan.
TO FIT THE FAN OVEN SHELVES
There are 7 shelf positions in the oven. Shelf
positions are counted from the bottom upwards.
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

HINTS AND TIPS
·Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are
counted from the bottom upwards.
·When cooking more than one dish in the fan
oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves
rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf,
this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the
best cooking results.
·It is recommended that when baking larger
quantities, the shelf positions should be evenly
spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight
increase in cooking time may be necessary.
·The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning of
the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
·The use of excessively high temperatures can
cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to
reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the
recommendations given in the oven cooking
chart, on page 21.
·For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.
