COOKING GUIDE General guidelines This oven has been designed to utilise its four elements and rear fan in differing combinations to provide you with enhanced performance and a wide range of functions, allowing you to cook all types of food to perfection. Outer Element Inner Element Shelf positions - Full size ovens Fan 6 5 4 3 Rear Element (concealed) 2 1 Lower Element (concealed) ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● BAKING For best results when baking, always pre heat your oven.
COOKING GUIDE ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ROASTING The Roast function is designed to brown the outside of the meat but still keep the inside moist and juicy. Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer than roasts containing bones. Poultry should be well cooked with the juices running clear and an internal temperature of 165°F (75oC). If using a roasting bag, do not use the Roast function. The initial searing stage is too hot for roasting bags.
COOKING GUIDE ● ● ● ● REHEATING Use Bake, Fan Bake or Vent Bake to reheat food. Bake and Vent Bake are particularly good for reheating pastry based items, as the base heat will help re-crisp the pastry case. Always reheat food to piping hot. This reduces the risk of contamination by harmful bacteria. Once hot, use the Warm function to keep the food warm. Never reheat a food more than once. Drip Channel Any condensation that is formed during the cooking process will collect in the drip channel.
OVEN FUNCTIONS IMPORTANT! ● ● Depending on your model, you may only have some of these functions. Use all the functions with the oven door closed. Bake upper outer and lower elements ● ● ● Heat comes from both the upper and lower elements. The fan is not used in this function. Ideal for cakes and foods that require baking for a long time or at low temperatures. This function is not suitable for multi-shelf cooking.
OVEN FUNCTIONS Aero Bake fan plus upper outer and lower elements ● ● ● The oven fan circulates hot air from the top outer and the lower elements and distributes it around the oven cavity. Food cooked tends to brown more quickly than foods cooked on the traditional Bake function. You may need to decrease the time from that recommended in traditional recipes. Ideal for single shelf baking that takes less than an hour to cook – foods such as muffins, biscuits and cupcakes or things like enchiladas.
OVEN FUNCTIONS G Aero Broil fan plus upper inner and outer elements ● ● This function uses the intense heat from the elements for top browning and the fan to ensure even cooking of foods. Meat, poultry and vegetables cook beautifully; food is crisp and brown on the outside while the inside remains moist and tender. Ideal for whole chicken, tenderloin of beef or broiling your favourite chicken, fish or steak.
OVEN FUNCTIONS Aero Pastry fan plus lower element ● ● The fan circulates heat from the lower element throughout the oven. Excellent for cooking pizza as it crisps the base beautifully without overcooking the topping. Ideal for foods such as sweet and savoury pastry foods and delicate foods that require some top browning eg frittata, quiche. Roast fan plus upper and lower elements ● ● ● A two-step program.
OVEN FUNCTIONS Classic Bake (some models only) lower element only ● ● ● Heat comes from the lower element only, the fan is not used. This is the traditional baking function, suitable for recipes that were developed in older ovens. Bake on only one shelf at a time. Ideal for foods that require delicate baking and have a pastry base, like custard tarts, pies, quiches and cheesecake or anything that does not require direct heat and browning on the top.
OVEN FUNCTIONS this is not a cooking function ● ● Warm Provides a constant low heat of less than 195°F (90°C). Use to keep cooked food hot, or to warm plates and serving dishes. To reheat food from cold, use another oven function to heat the food piping hot and only then change to Warm, as this function alone will not bring cold food up to a high enough temperature to kill any harmful bacteria.
COOKING CHARTS ● ● ● ● ● Shelf positions are counted from the base up (1 is the lowest, 6 (full size ovens) or 4 (compact ovens) is the highest). Position shelves before you turn the oven on. For best results preheat the oven to the required temperature. The broil element may come on while the oven is heating up. The halo on the temperature dial will change from red to white when the oven has reached the selected temperature.

Read these cleaning instructions and the ‘Safety and warnings’ section before you start cleaning your oven. To prevent soiling from becoming ‘baked on’ and stubborn, we recommend removing any easy-toreach spills, food or grease stains from the oven cavity enamel after each use.
CARE AND CLEANING Manual cleaning WHAT? HOW? IMPORTANT! Control Panel Take particular care when cleaning the control panel glass. Only use a damp cloth with detergent. Do not use any oven cleaners, harsh or abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, steel wool or sharp metal scrapers on the glass. These may scratch and damage the surface. Dials Clean with a solution of mild detergent and hot water, then wipe dry. Do not use stainless steel or oven cleaner on the dials, as doing so may damage their coating.
CARE AND CLEANING Manual cleaning WHAT? HOW? Oven cavity ● (models without ‘Selfclean’ function only) Oven cavity (models with ‘Self Clean’ function only) Meat Probe 42 Remove everything from the oven: all shelves and trays, the side racks (including fixing nuts). 1 Wipe the inside of the oven using a household detergents or an ammonia-based cleaner. 2 Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to dry completely.
CARE AND CLEANING Manual cleaning WHAT? HOW? IMPORTANT! Full extension sliding shelf Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not wipe off or wash away the white lubricating grease (visible when the shelf is extended). Never leave in the oven during a Self Clean cycle. Do not wash the shelf in the dishwasher, immerse in soapy water, or use oven cleaner on it. Doing so will prevent the slides from running smoothly.
CARE AND CLEANING Removing the side racks Remove the side racks to make cleaning the oven easier. For models with Self Clean only: The side racks can be left in the oven during the self clean cycle. IMPORTANT! Always turn off the oven at the wall first. Ensure the oven has cooled down completely before starting. Remove all shelves 1 Slide out all shelves and remove.
