OVEN
Fan Bake
Heat comes from the gas “base heat” burner which is then circulated by the
fan. This fan circulates the hot air around the oven cavity so that you can put
your food in different places in the oven and still cook them at the same
time.
You can use the "fan bake" function for multi-shelf cooking, reheating
cooked foods, pastries and complete oven meals. It will cook at a lower
temperature and be faster than baking. Please note that some variation in
browning is normal.
Bake
Heat comes from the gas “base heat” burner below the food. The bottom
burner is below the floor of the oven which is controlled by the thermostat
and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.
You can use the “bake” function for single trays of biscuits, scones, muffins,
cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings, roasts and delicate egg dishes.
– For best results use silver or shiny trays.
Defrost
The “defrost” function uses low temperature air which is circulated by the
fan. You can defrost (thaw) your food before you cook it. Also you may use
your “defrost” to raise your yeast dough or to dry fruit, vegetables or herbs.
GRILL
Grill (grill in oven models only)
The “grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element onto the
food. You can use the “grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops,
sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the
oven door closed. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This
will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. You
can slide your grill dish into either of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of
support rails.
Fan Grill (grill in oven models only)
“Fan grill” offers you the benefits of both “bake” and traditional “grill”
functions. The grill element turns on and off to maintain the set temperature
while the fan circulates the heated air. The oven door remains closed for fan
grill. You can use “fan grill” for large cuts of meat in the oven which gives
you a result that is similar to “rotisserie” cooked meat. Put your food on a
shelf in the second lowest shelf position. Put the grill dish on the lowest shelf
position to catch any spills. When using “fan grill” it is not necessary to turn
the food over during the cooking cycle. Set temperature to 180°C.
Grill (separate grill models only)
The “grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element onto the
food. You can use the “grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops,
sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the
oven door open. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This
will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. The
grill dish is to be positioned between the upper pair of support rails.
Understanding your oven functions
Your oven will have a selection of the following functions. Refer to “Description of your
appliance” (page 4) to confirm what functions are available to you.
USING YOUR OVEN

Cooling/Venting fan
Your built-in appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. This prevents your kitchen cabinet from
overheating and reduces the condensation inside the oven. It will operate whenever you are using
your oven or grill and will blow warm air across the top of the oven or grill door. In some
appliances the cooling fan may continue to operate after the appliance is turned off, it will switch
off by itself once oven is cool.
Operating Sequence
Select the cooking function
Turn the “function selector” in any direction to select the desired
function.
Select the Temperature
To set the temperature, turn the temperature selector in a clockwise
direction to the desired setting.
The “oven indicator light” will come on and the oven burner will
ignite. A thermostat controls the temperature in the oven. When the
set temperature is reached, the GAS burner flame goes out and the indicator light goes off. When
the oven temperature falls below the set temperature the flame automatically re-ignites and the
“oven indicator light” comes on again.
Once the food is cooked, turn the “oven temperature selector” back in an anti-clockwise
direction. Do not force it right round in a clockwise direction as this will result in damage to the
oven. Turn the “function selector” back to “Off”.
NOTE: The cooking function must be selected before the oven will operate. Once the function has
been selected, use the temperature selector to set the cooking temperature.
USING YOUR OVEN
Setting the time
If you have purchased a model fitted with an electronic clock you must set the time of day
before you can operate your appliance.

USING YOUR OVEN
Pre-heating your appliance
For best results when baking you must preheat your oven for 30 minutes. Preheat grill for 3
minutes to obtain best results. Pre-heating your appliance allows it to reach the required
temperature quickly and efficiently.
When baking bread or cakes, load the oven as quickly as possible after pre-heating, only leaving
the oven door open for the shortest time. This will minimise loss of heat from the oven and ensure
the best results.
With "bake"
1. It is recommended you preheat your appliance when cooking or baking.
2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven temperature selector.
When the indicator light goes out the oven has reached the desired preset temperature, place
your food into the oven, close the door and set the timer if you desire.
With "grill"
Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best results. This will help to seal the natural
juices of steak, chops and other meats for a better flavour.
Setting temperatures
The following table displays the temperature settings for recipes which do not show actual
temperatures.

COOKING GUIDE
• Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked.
• Make sure dishes will fit into the oven before you switch it on.
• Keep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the side of the oven. This allows free circulation
of heat and ensures even cooking.
• Do not open the oven door more than necessary.
• Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven with other foods. This will cause food to
steam and not brown.
• After the oven is turned off it retains the heat for some time. Use this heat to finish custards or
to dry bread.
• Do not use a lot of cooking oil when roasting. This will prevent splattering oil on the sides of
the oven and the oven door. Polyunsaturated fats can leave residue which is very difficult to
remove.
• When cooking things which require a high heat from below (e.g. tarts), place the cooking dish
on a scone tray in the desired shelf position.
• For sponges and cakes use aluminium, bright finished or non-stick utensils.
Oven shelf location
Your oven has five positions for shelves. These are numbered from 1
(the lowest shelf position) to 5 (the highest shelf position). See
diagram.
To give maximum space above and below the shelves, load them in
this way:
• When cooking with 1 shelf, use position 3.
• When cooking with 2 shelves, use position 2 and 5.
Use the oven efficiently, by cooking many trays of food at the same
time. For example:
• Cook 2 trays of scones, small cakes or sausage rolls.
• Cook a roast dinner at the same time as you cook chips or
vegetables.

OPERATING THE ELECTRONIC CLOCK (Continued)
Setting the delayed start cooking time
1. Program the “cook time“ and “end time“ as described in the relevant sections. Once both the
“cook time“ and “end time“ have been set, the “cook time“ and “end time” indicators will stop
flashing and the current time of day will be displayed.
To check or cancel settings
1. To check your settings, press "mode" until the setting you want is displayed. A red light will
flash next to the mode (cook time, end time etc) that is currently on display.
2. To cancel "delayed start" press "mode" until a light flashes next to "end time". Press and hold
"–" until the clock no longer reverses ("0:00" and you will hear a beep). If you have left the
temperature and function knobs at a setting the oven will start once the "end time" light stops
flashing.
3. To cancel "auto shut off" press "mode" until a light flashes next to "cook time". Press and hold
"–" until the clock no longer reverses ("0:00" and you will hear a beep). This automatically
cancels "delayed start". If you have left the temperature and function knobs at a setting, the
oven will start once the "cook time" light stops flashing. Because you have cancelled “auto off”
the oven will continue to heat until you manually turn it off.
On completion of cooking
The oven will turn off, the timer will beep and the "end time" and/or "cook time" indicators will
flash.
1. Turn the function and temperature controls to the off position.
2. Press "+" or "–" or "mode" to stop the timer from beeping.
Switching the clock display ON and OFF
1. Press together "+" and "–" for 2 seconds to switch ’off’ the display.

Choosing the best oven settings
The following table is intended as a guide and experience may show some variation in cooking
times necessary to meet individual requirements.
For best results when baking you must preheat your oven for 30 minutes.

COOKING GUIDE
Roasting Meat
1. Place the meat in the oven and set the
temperature between 180°C and 200°C. (It is
recommended to wrap your meats in an oven
roasting bag or foil to prevent fats and oils
from splattering, making it easier to clean
your oven.)
2. Use the grill / oven dish and smokeless grill
insert. Place the meat on the insert.
3. Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices
to escape.
4. When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the oven, wrap in aluminum foil and leave to
stand for about 10 minutes. This will help retain the juices when the meat is carved. The table
shows temperatures and cooking times for different kinds of meat. These may vary depending
on the thickness or bone content of the meat.
Roasting poultry and fish
1. Place the poultry or fish in an oven set at a
moderate temperature of 180°C.
2. Place a layer of foil over the fish for about
three quarters of the cooking time.
The table shows temperatures and cooking
times for different kinds of fish and poultry.
These may vary depending on the thickness or
bone content of the meat.

GRILLING GUIDE
Grilling hints
NOTE: Always clean the grill / oven dish after every use. Excessive fat build up may cause a fire.
As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:
• Enhance the flavours of vegetables, fish, poultry and meat.
• Seal the surface of the food and retain the natural juices.
This table shows how to grill different types of meat:
Beef You can use tenderloin, rump, sirloin.
Brush with oil or melted butter, especially if the meat is very lean.
Lamb You can use loin chops, shortloin chops, chump chops, and forequarter chops.
Remove skin or cut at intervals to stop curling.
Brush with oil or melted butter.
Sausages Prick sausages to stop skin from bursting.
Poultry Divide into serving pieces.
Brush with oil.
Fish Brush with oil or melted butter and lemon juice.
Bacon Remove rind.
Grill flat and make into rolls.
Guide to better grilling
No definite times can be given for grilling
because this depends on your own tastes and
the size of the food. These times should only be
used as a guide and remember to turn the food
over half way through the cooking process.
For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:
1. Remove oven / grill dish and smokeless grill insert and preheat grill for about 3 minutes.
2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is less than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut
is more than 40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the inside remains raw.
3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this prevents fats and oils from draining away,
which could result in a fire.
4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil or marinade. Grilled food is better if
marinated before cooking.
5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface and will let juices escape.
Fan Grill (Multifunction grill in oven models only)
If your appliance has fan grill as a function, this will assist the grilling process by circulating the
heat evenly around the food. The recommended temperature setting is 180°C for all fan grilling
functions.
1. Use the smokeless grill insert and oven dish for all fan grilling.
2. Position the dish in the lower half of the oven, for best results.
3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven is still warm.
There is no need to turn the meat as both sides are cooked at the same time which means that
the food is succulent.
Steak 15 - 20 minutes
Chops 20 - 30 minutes
Fish 8 -10 minutes
Bacon 4 - 5 minutes

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
IMPORTANT:
•Always make sure that the oven is electrically isolated before cleaning. This can be done via
the power point switch located nearby.
• Do not use steam cleaners.
• Do not line the bottom of the oven or grill with foil or cookware.
• Do not use sharp metal implements or utensils on any surface, as these may leave permanent
scratches or marks.
Enamel
• Rub persistent stains vigorously with a nylon scourer or creamed powder cleansers.
NOTE: You can also use household oven enamel cleaners - follow the manufacturer’s
instructions carefully.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners, powder cleaners, steel wool or wax polishes.
Stainless steel
All grades of stainless steel can stain, discolour or became greasy. You must clean these areas
regularly by following the procedures below, if you want your appliance to look its best, perform
well and have a long life.
Care must be taken when wiping exposed stainless steel edges.…they can be sharp!
Your stainless steel appliance is manufactured from a mark resistant stainless steel. This special
stainless steel resists marks such as finger prints and water spots. To keep your stainless steel
appliance looking at its best, you should clean it regularly. Wash with warm soapy water and rinse
with clean water. Wipe with clean water and a soft clean cloth to remove soap residue.
NOTE: Make sure you follow the polish or brushing lines in the steel.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads or other cleaners as they are likely to scratch
the surface. Damage due to poor cleaning technique is not covered by your warranty.
Glass
• Glass surfaces on doors and control panels are best cleaned immediately after soiling.
• A damp cloth may help remove baked on food deposits.
• Oven cleaners can be used to remove stubborn marks and stains.
Oven
• Always keep your appliance clean. Ensure that fats and oils do not accumulate around
elements, burners or fans.
• Always keep the oven dish, baking trays, grill dish and grill dish insert clean, as any fat deposits
may catch fire.
• Always wrap your meats in foil or an oven roasting bag to minimise cleaning. Any
polyunsaturated fats can leave a varnish-like residue which is very difficult to remove.
Grill
• Always keep the grill dish and grill dish insert clean, as any fat deposits may catch fire.

Cleaning your oven accessories
Removing the trays and shelves from your appliance
• Slide the dish and shelves towards you until they reach the front stop.
• Tilt them up at the front to clear the side supports, taking care not to spill the contents.
• Lift them clear.
• Wash the dish and insert the shelves in hot soapy water.
• Reverse the above steps to put the grill dish and shelves back again.
• Ensure that they are placed between the 2 support wires. See page 6 for more details.
CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
Removing the side racks (shelf supports)
• Grasp the shelf supports at the front.
• Pull them firmly inwards.
• To install the side racks, see page 5.

CLEANING YOUR APPLIANCE
Removing and replacing the oven light
• Turn oven light glass anticlockwise to remove it for globe replacement.
• A special high temperature resistant globe should be used.
This can be purchased from the Customer Care Centre.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the
appliance is turned off before
you remove or replace parts, to
avoid the possibility of electric
shock.
Releasing the grill element
We have designed the upper element with a hanger clip to help you reach your oven roof for
cleaning.

Your gas oven is fitted with an electronic controller which manages the operation of the burner
and monitors the flame. This controller includes features which ensure the safe operation of your
appliance and will prevent the build up of unburnt gas, should a fault occur.
It is normal for the flame to turn on and off during cooking, to maintain a stable temperature in
the oven. The Thermostat Indicator Light indicates when the flame is on or igniting (indicator
glows), or when the flame is off (indicator off).
The burner flame can be seen by viewing through the 2 holes in the front of the burner cover.
Ignition and Response to Ignition Failure
The controller will attempt to ignite the flame when an oven function is selected and the
Thermostat turns on (indicator light changes from off to on). The controller will make up to 2
attempts to ignite the flame, stopping if a flame is detected by the controller. If by the end of the
2 attempts a flame is not detected then the burner and ignition will be turned off and a delay of
90 seconds will be observed. During this delay the controller will not respond to the Function and
Thermostat controls.
At the end of this delay, switch the Thermostat or Function Selector off and leave off for at least
5 seconds. Then switch the Thermostat and Function Selector on again to re-attempt ignition.
If the oven controls are left on when the delay ends then ignition will not be attempted until the
Thermostat or Function Selector is first turned off for 5 seconds.
Response to Flame Failure
If the controller cannot detect flame due to a fault, then the controller will respond
• firstly by attempting to re-light the burner with a sequence of up to 3 attempts and
• If the re-lighting sequence is not successful the burner will be shut off.
The re-lighting sequence will include up to 3 attempts to re-light the burner, stopping if a flame
is detected by the controller. If by the end of the re-lighting sequence a flame is not detected then
the burner and ignition will be turned off and a delay of 90 seconds will be observed. During this
delay the controller will not respond to the Function and Thermostat controls.
At the end of this delay, switch the Thermostat or Function Selector off and leave it off for at least
5 seconds. Then switch the thermostat and Function Selector on again to re-attempt ignition.
If the oven controls are left on when the delay ends then ignition will not be attempted until the
Thermostat or Function Selector is first turned off for 5 seconds.
Recognising a Safety Shut-down Condition
During normal cooking the Thermostat indicator light is on when the burner flame is igniting or
on, and the Thermostat indicator light is off when the flame is off.
If an oven function is selected and the Thermostat light is on, but the flame is not on or
attempting to ignite then the controller has invoked a safety shutdown of the burner. A 90 second
delay is observed from the time the shut-down occurred before the controller will respond to the
oven controls.
Once the delay period has ended the Thermostat or Function Selector must be turned off for at
least 5 seconds before oven functions can resume.
Power Failure
In the event of an interruption to mains power, the restoration of power will not cause the burner
to ignite if the controls were left on. However the grill element will resume heating on models
which do not have an electronic clock.
To resume operation of the appliance after a power interruption:
• First turn the Function Selector or Thermostat controls to the off position. The controls must
remain in this position for at least 5 seconds
• If the appliance has an electronic clock then set the time of day on the electronic clock.
Normal operation of the appliance may now resume.
