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. It may be necessary to
change some cooking times and temperatures from your
previous oven. For best results when baking preheat your
oven for 30 minutes.
Conventional cooking
Fan forced cooking
Grilling hints
WARNING
WARNING
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.
NOTE: Below is a table indicating the door position whilst
grilling for each of the product types.

Guide to better grilling
TIPS & INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
Definite times cannot be given for grilling as it is
dependant on the size of the food and your own tastes.
These times should only be used as a rough guide and
remember to turn the food over halfway through the
cooking process (except with fan grill).
For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:
1. Remove oven/grill dish and 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.
5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface
allowing juices to escape.
MEAT
TIME
Steak
15 - 20 minutes
Chops
20 - 30 minutes
Fish
8 - 10 minutes
Bacon
4 - 5 minutes
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. Place the oven/grill dish on the bottom rack.
2. Place meat/poultry on an oven shelf above the oven/
grill dish.
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.
Grilling with separate grill underbench
Your separate grill underbench appliance comes with a
handle accessory to pull out and push in the grill
tray frame.
WARNING
WARNING
Operating the oven may result in a hot grill tray frame
even without the grill being used. As it may be a hot
surface, it is not recommended to touch the grill tray
frame directly.
