BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME TIPS & INFORMATION IMPORTANT Setting the time If you have purchased a model fitted with an electronic or programmable timer, you MUST set the time of day before you can operate your appliance. Electronic Clock • After the appliance has been electrically connected “12.00” will be displayed and the “clock” indicator will flash. • To set the time of day, press – or +.
INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES Side racks • Insert the twin pegged side into the rear access holes provided, ensuring pegs are fully inserted. • Then locate the front peg into the front access hole and push in firmly. Catalytic liners (on selected models) Catalytic liners are coated with a specially formulated enamel coating. This porous coating enables the “self cleaning” process – see page 27 for more details.
INSTALLING YOUR OVEN ACCESSORIES • When locating the side acks into the small oven or grill ensure the left pegs go into the lower two access holes. (Refer Fig. 1) Fig. 1 Shelves and trays (excluding POR881) (Refer Fig. 2) The shelves are designed so that they have maximum travel but cannot be accidentally pulled right out. The trays are designed the same way and fit straight into the side racks. • Locate the rear edge of the shelf/tray in between 2 guide rails of the side rack – see diagram.
USING YOUR OVEN Understanding your oven functions Your oven will have a selection of the following functions; description and touch control symbol illustrated below. Refer to “Description of your appliance” (page 5) to confirm what functions are available to you. Function 4 Base Heat LARGE OVEN Function 1 Heat comes from the element below the food. The element is controlled by the thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.
USING YOUR OVEN Function 7 Function 10 Defrost Maxi Grill The “defrost” function uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fan. You can defrost (thaw) your food before you cook it. You can also use “defrost” to raise your yeast dough and to dry fruit, vegetables and herbs. “Maxi grill” directs radiant heat from 2 powerful upper elements onto the food. You can use the “maxi grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods.
USING YOUR OVEN Cooling/Venting fan Small Oven Grill The “grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper element onto the food. You can use the “grill” function for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the grill door open for PXR688 and PXR698. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get the best results. This will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour.
USING YOUR OVEN Pre-heating your appliance Setting temperatures For best results when baking it is recommended that you preheat your oven for 30 minutes. Preheat the grill for 3 minutes to obtain best results. Pre-heating your appliance allows it to reach the required temperature quickly and efficiently. The following table displays the temperature settings for recipes which do not show actual temperatures for non-fan modes. For fan-forced modes the temperature should be reduced by 10°C.
USING YOUR COOKTOP WARNING CAUTION The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a tough durable material that withstands heating and cooling without breaking. However, it must be remembered that as it is GLASS, it may break. Treat it accordingly! Should you have any questions about the glass in your new appliance, please contact the Customer Care Centre by phoning 1300 363 640. The heating elements are concealed under the smooth glass surface which has a pattern to show the location of the elements.

OVEN SHELF LOCATION • Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked. • Make sure dishes will fit into the oven before you switch it on. • Keep edges of baking dishes at least 40mm from the side of the oven. This allows free circulation of heat and ensures even cooking. • Do not open the oven door more than necessary. • Do not place foods with a lot of liquid into the oven with other foods. This will cause food to steam and not brown.
COOKING GUIDE 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 baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.
Roasting Meat 1. Place the meat in the oven and set the temperature between 180°C and 200°C. (It is recommended to wrap your meats in an oven roasting bag or foil to prevent fats and oils from splattering, making it easier to clean your oven.) 2. Use the grill/oven dish and smokeless grill insert. Place the meat on the insert. 3. Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices to escape. 4.
