Operating Instructions
Conventional Cooking Function
The Conventional function allows heat to radiate evenly from the lower and upper elements into
the oven ensuring even cooking of both sides of the food. Adjust the function control so it indicates
the conventional Cooking function symbol. Adjust the thermostat control knob of your oven to a temperature
recommended on the cooking table for the cooking operation you wish to perform. Preheating of the oven
for about 10 minutes is recommended. Place food in a suitable container, then place into oven and cook for
the recommended time. This function is preferred for making cakes (cupcakes, other cakes and sponges),
biscuits, pastry, baked pasta (e.g. lasagne), casseroles and moist dishes, roasts and oven chips.
After cooking, turn off the oven function and temperature control knobs and set the timer to off. Take the
cooked food out of the oven and place it in a safe heatproof surface. As the oven will be hot, work near with
caution and keep children away from the cooling oven.
Upper Element Cooking Function
This function is used for grilling. Adjust the function control so it indicates the Upper Element
cooking function symbol. Set the oven’s thermostat control to the required temperature. After a preheating
period of 10 minutes, put your food into the oven. For grilling, put the food on the grill rack and sit into the
tray. Place the tray on the highest shelf. Placing the rack within the oven tray provided will ensure that any
marinade, fat or oil dropping from the food will be collected. When grilling, the oven door must be closed.
This setting is ideal for toasting bread, cheese melts and melting cheese topped dishes or finishing off a
dish to lightly brown on the surface. Also used for herb and garlic bread.
After cooking, turn off the oven function and temperature control knobs and cancel the timer program if in
use. Take the cooked food out of the oven and place it on a safe heatproof surface. As the oven will be hot,
work with caution and keep children away from the cooling oven.
