USING THE OVEN
O P E R A T I O N
Open the door fully, push in and turn the oven control knob to max. Hold the control
knob in and press the ignition button. Keep the oven control knob pressed in for a
further 5 - 10 seconds before slowly releasing and turning to the desired temperature.
If the burner fails to light, do not attempt to re-light it for 1 min.
P R E H E A T I N G
Allow the oven to preheat for approximately 15 minutes before cooking food. The
cooking times will be reduced when preheating the oven. If cooking without
preheating, you may wish to increase the cooking time by 15 minutes.
WARMING
When keeping food warm, the minimum setting may be too hot for some food. Heat
the empty oven for at least 15 minutes and turn the oven control knob to the off
position. The food can then be kept warm for up to 30 minutes.
POSITIONING
The temperature at the centre of the oven corresponds with the selected temperature
and will vary according to the shelf position being used.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When moist food is heated it produces steam in the same way as boiling a kettle. If this
steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the cooker, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault with the
oven.
COOKWARE
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand temperatures of 250
0
C.
Do not use baking trays that fill the width or depth of the oven as they will restrict the
circulation of heat and may affect the performance.
TIPS
This cooker has a powerful base burner and inserting the roasting pan (provided with
the appliance) below food being cooked will help to achieve even cooking.
Placing the grill pan or oven pan beneath food being cooked will catch spillages and
prevent food deposits from falling onto the oven burner and causing damage to the
appliance.
