PRE HEATING THE GAS OVEN
After the oven has been switched on, keep the door open for a minute then close the door
gently so there is no risk of extinguishing the flame.
Set the oven knob to the required temperature and wait for about 20 minutes before introducing
the food. Comply with the cooking indication chart in these instructions to get the best out of
the oven and choose the right shelf position.
Gas ovens heat up very rapidly and will reach temperature within 20 minutes.
Please note: Gas oven models do not have an indicator light for oven mode.
Removing and installing the oven shelves
Slide the oven shelves towards you until they reach the front stop. Tilt them up at the front to
clear the side supports and lift them clear. To install the shelves reverse the operation. Ensure
that the shelf is correctly installed so that the stops prevent the shelf sliding out in one action.
NOTE:
All ovens are different and your new oven may perform differently to your previous model. Shelf
positions and operating temperatures may vary to what you are accustomed. It sometimes takes
a few uses to become fully familiar with the characteristics of your new oven.
ELECTRIC GRILLING ELEMENT
- all cookers
All Emilia and Glem cookers have an electric grill within the oven compartment. Gas grills have
been found to be unsuitable for Australian cooking styles where we like to grill lamb chops.
The oven door must be closed during grill operation. If the oven has been on, always wait a few
minutes before switching on the grill. The grill element is an infrared type, which provides an
even controlled heat. When the grill is on an indicator light will come on.
Using a standard shelf with a drip tray below filled with some water will avoid smoke build-up
coming from burnt fat and at the same time assist in keep the food moist.
Cookers with gas ovens
On cookers with a gas oven the electric grill maybe controlled by a separate button. The grill
operates at a fixed temperature. Change the height of the grill tray to vary intensity.

Cookers with electric ovens
On cookers with electric ovens the grill function is selected on the oven function selector knob or
by a separate button that can be pressed to switch on the grill.
Selected the temperature of the grill using the temperature selection control knob.
Preheat the grill for 3 minutes prior to introducing the food.
Never leave the kitchen when grilling as the cooking is fast and needs to be monitored. There is
an overide sensor that shuts the grill off in the event of a flare up during cooking.
Selecting the right baking dish
Black baking dishes transfer heat differently to silver baking dishes. If you are burning the under
side of cakes and biscuits try changing the colour of baking tray to silver.
IMPORTANT
Never cook on the bottom floor of the oven - Never line the bottom of the oven with foil
