USING YOUR OVEN
THERMOSTAT CONTROL KNOB
The oven thermostat control knob sets the required
temperature of the oven. It is possible to regulate the
temperature within a range of 50 - 250°C. Turn the control
knob clockwise.
OVEN OPERATING LIGHT
This light will illuminate, indicating that the oven’s heating
elements are in operation. The light will turn off when the
temperature set on the thermostat control knob has been
reached. It will cycle on and off throughout the cooking
time.
You should not place food inside the cavity, until the correct
cooking temperature has been reached.
COOKING GUIDELINES
• Please refer to the information given on food packaging
for guidance on cooking temperatures and times. Once
familiar with the performance of your appliance,
temperatures and times can be varied to suit personal
preference.
• If you are using the fan oven function, then you should follow the information given on the
food packaging for this particular mode of cooking.
• Ensure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking, unless the instructions on
the food packaging advise that you can “cook from frozen”.
• Pre-heat the oven and do not place food inside until the oven operating light has gone off.
You can choose not to pre-heat when using the fan oven mode; however, you should extend
the cooking time given on the food packaging by approximately ten minutes.
• Before cooking, check that any accessories that are not required are removed from the oven.
• Place cooking trays in the centre of the oven and leave gaps between the trays to allow air
to circulate.
• Try to open the door as little as possible to view the dishes.
• The oven light will remain on during cooking.
WARNINGS
• Keep the oven door closed when using any of the grill functions.
• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grill pan or heat items wrapped in aluminum foil
under the grill. The high reflectivity of the foil could potentially damage the grill element.
• You should also never line the base of your oven with aluminum foil.
• During cooking, never place pans or cookware directly onto the bottom of your oven. They
should always be placed on the shelves provided
• The grill heating element and other internal components of the oven becomes extremely hot
during operation. Exercise caution to avoid touching them when handling food which you
are grilling.
• IMPORTANT: Exercise caution when opening the oven door to avoid contact with hot parts
of the oven and steam.
• The drip tray handle should only be used to reposition the drip tray and NOT for removing
it from the oven cavity. When removing the drip tray, you should ALWAYS use an oven glove.
• The drip tray handle should not be left in position when the appliance is switched on.
• A steam cleaner is not to be used.
• WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away
during use.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass as this can
scratch the surface and cause the oven glass to shatter.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• The oven should be cleaned after every use. When cleaning the oven, the light should be
switched on to enable you to see the surfaces better.
• The oven chamber should only be washed with warm water and a small amount of washing-
up liquid.
• After cleaning the oven chamber wipe it dry.
• Never clean the oven surfaces by steam cleaning.
• The oven cavity should only be cleaned with warm soapy water, using either a sponge or soft
cloth. No abrasive cleaners should be used.
• Any stains that may appear on the bottom of the oven will have originated from food
splashes or spilt food, these splashes occur during the cooking process. These could possibly
be a result of the food being cooked at an excessively high temperature or being placed in
cookware that is too small.
• Only select a cooking temperature and function that is appropriate for the food that you are
cooking. Always ensure that the food is placed in an adequately-sized dish and that you use
the drip tray where appropriate.
• The exterior of the oven should only be cleaned with warm soapy water, using either a
sponge or soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• If you use any form of oven cleaner on your appliance, then you must check with the
manufacturer of the cleaner that it is suitable for use on your appliance.
CAUTION!
Do not use cleaning products containing abrasive materials for the cleaning and maintenance
of the glass front panel.
