Function Selector
Lamp Function
The lamp can be turned on with no heating elements and
will turn on with all oven functions.
Conventional Cooking
Conventional cooking utilises the top and bottom elements.
This function is recommended for use with the middle shelf
position and is good for slow cooking casseroles, etc.
Top Oven
Top Oven cooking is recommended for use to brown the
top of food at the end of cooking.
LOWER HEATING ELEMENT
Select this program towards end of cooking time if
lower part of the food cooked will be roasted.
Grill Cooking
Grill Cooking should be used for melting cheese, toasting & browning. Ideally it should
be used for no more than 5 minutes. Use the upper shelf positions for best results.
Fan-assisted Grill
Fan-assisted Grill uses the grill element and oven fan to cook meats, vegetables
and poultry. In this mode, heat is radiated down then spread throughout the oven.
To achieve the best results, use the middle tray position.
Fan-Forced Cooking
Fan-forced cooking uses a circular element and the oven fan to evenly spread heat
throughout the oven. Food can be cooked in any shelf position when using this mode.
Defrost Mode
Defrost mode uses the oven fan to circulate room temperature air around the food. It can
be used for all types of food. The defrosting process can be accelerated by using the “Fan-
Forced” function on low heat. For the best results, use the middle tray position.
CONVENTIONAL COOKING-FAN
The program suitable for cooking foods like cakes, dried cakes, lasagne. Suitable for
cooking meat dishes, as well.

18:30 + 2:15 = 20:45 respectively.
We now have programmed our oven to get the food ready at 21:30. Since the cooking time was
pre-programmed as 2 hours and 15 minutes, your oven will start cooking at 19:15, so that the food is ready
at 21:30.
When automatic cooking is completed, a buzzer alarm is heard and will sound, if not stopped, for 7 minutes.

the feet provided.
In situations where the cooker is installed
between two cabinets:
1. Drill a 16mm hole in each cabinet, at
the same height as the chain.
2. Feed the chain through the left and right
holes respectively.
3. Move cooker to desired position.
4. Tighten and fix chains to back-side of
cabinet.
Combustible Surfaces
