Instructions for use (cooktop burners)

The symbols on the control knobs mean the following:

- No gas flow or 'Off'

Maximum gas flow or 'high' flame and lighting position

Minimum gas flow or 'low' flame

All operating positions must be set between the maximum and minimum flow settings, and never between the maximum setting and the closed position.

Use and Care

To light the cooktop burners

To light the burner, press the control knob fully down and hold the knob down before rotating anti-clockwise to the High Flame position. The ignition device is integrated into the control knob and is automatically activated by pushing down on the control knob.

After lighting the flame, keep the knob pressed for about 10 seconds: this time is necessary to heat up the thermocouple (Fig.1-D) and activate the safety valve, which would otherwise cut off the gas flow. This step only applies where flame failure device is fitted.

In the instance of a power failure, place a lit match near the burner and proceed as described above. If the flame does not light after the first attempt, wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate before attempting to re-light the burner.

Once lit, check that the flame is even and turn the control knob to adjust the flame as required. If the flame is uneven, check that the 'burner head/skirt' and 'burner cap' are correctly positioned. To turn off the flame, turn the control knob clockwise to the off position (● symbol). Before removing pots or pans from the burners, always turn off the flame.

For correct use of the cooktop

For lower gas consumption and better efficiency, use only flat-bottomed pans of dimensions suitable for the burners, as shown in the table below. Also, as soon as a liquid comes to the boil take care to turn the flame down to a level that will just keep it boiling.

Burner	Minimum diameter	Maximum diameter
Large(rapid)	150mm	260mm
Medium(semi-rapid)	130mm	180mm
Fish	310mm x 140mm	460mm x 230mm
Small(Auxiliary)	90mm	160mm
Triple Flame (Wok)	210mm	270mm

During cooking processes involving fats or oils, watch your foods carefully because these substances may catch fire if overheated.

Use and Care

How to use your oven

This multi-function oven combines the advantages of traditional convection ovens with modern fan assisted ovens in a single appliance. It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to choose easily and safely between different cooking modes. The various cooking modes are selected by means of a cooking mode selection knob, located on the control panel.

To operate the oven:

• Ensure that manual mode is selected (page 16)
• Turn the cooking mode selection knob to the desired cooking mode (explanation of cooking modes is on pages 14 to 15)
• Turn the cooking temperature selection knob to the desired temperature (cooking guide is on pages 23 to 24) or to 'MAX' if Grilling.

The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting, set the cooking mode selection knob to a cooking mode and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it and the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and allow the oven to cool. Any odour that may be detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage.

Note: Place the Baking Tray provided on the bottom shelf position of the oven to prevent any spillages from dripping onto the bottom of the oven. Never place anything (including foil and oven trays) on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Only place your cookware (dishes, trays, aluminum foil, etc.) on the Oven Shelves provided with the appliance.

If supplied, use the chrome wire handle shown left when removing the trays from the oven.

Use and Care

Positioning the oven trays & shelves

The Baking Tray, Grill Tray or Oven Shelf can be located in any of the five height positions in the oven if your oven does not have Telescopic Shelf Supports. Oven Shelves cannot be fitted to the Telescopic Support. Only fit the Baking Tray or Grill Tray to the Telescopic Support.

Refer to the 'Cooking Mode Table' for the recommended shelf position. When fitting the trays or shelves, ensure they are fitted between the two wires that are closest together as shown below. Oven Shelves have a stop so that they are not fully withdrawn by accident. To fully remove the Oven Shelves, lift the front of the shelf slightly and withdraw fully from the oven. Note that the Grill Tray and Baking Tray do not have a stop position and can be fully withdrawn without interruption, so be careful not to accidentally fully withdraw the trays.

COOKING MODES

Convection mode □

When set to Convection mode, the top and bottom heating elements operate together like a 'normal' conventional oven that you have probably used before.

Convection mode is best suited for traditional baking and roasting and you should only use one shelf at a time, otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. You can balance the amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the dish by selecting a different shelf height. If you want more heat at the top of the dish place the dish on the top or second shelf. For more heat at the bottom of the dish, place the dish on third or fourth shelf.

Delicate cooking mode

When set to Delicate cooking mode, the bottom element and the fan will operate. This mode is suitable for pastries, cakes and non-dry sweets in baking tins or moulds that require heat from the bottom.

Top heat mode

When set to Top heat mode, the top heating element operates. This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.

Grill mode

Select 'Grill' mode with cooking mode selection knob and turn cooking temperature selection knob to 'Max'. When set to Grill mode, the top inner element operates. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking the juices in to keep them tender. Grill mode can also be used for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers, etc.

Grill food with the oven door ajar (when not using fan).

Use and Care

Fan assisted grill mode

Select 'Fan Assisted Grill' mode with cooking mode selection knob and turn cooking temperature selection knob to the desired temperature setting. When set to Fan Assisted Grill mode, the top inner element and the fan operate. This mode increases the circulation of air throughout the oven, which helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Particularly suitable for kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken, quail, pork chops, fish steaks, stuffed cuttlefish etc.

In Fan Assisted Grill mode, grill with the oven door shut.

Baking mode

When set to Baking mode, the fan element and the fan operate providing a delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.

This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods on multiple shelves, especially cakes that need to rise such as cream puffs and for certain tartlets, sweet or savoury biscuits, savoury puffs, swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables, etc.

Defrost mode

When set to 'Defrost' mode, the fan located at the back of the oven circulates room temperature air around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes, etc. By using 'Defrost' mode, the defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the process by selecting 'Multi Cooking mode' and setting the temperature between 80°C to 100°C.

Note: When cooking is finished, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven cools down and then switches off automatically.

Use and Care

PRACTICAL COOKING ADVICE

The oven offers a wide range of settings which allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are only a guideline which may be varied according to your own personal experience.

Preheating

If the oven needs to be preheated, the 'Convection' mode or 'Baking' mode should be selected. These are the most efficient modes, which will reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible using the least amount of energy.

Once the food has been placed in the oven, the desired cooking mode should then be selected.

Multi shelf cooking

If you want to cook food on several shelves, select the 'Baking' mode as this is the only cooking mode that allows you to do so.

When cooking delicate foods on more than one shelf, use the 'Baking' mode. This mode allows you to cook on 3 shelves at the same time. Refer to the 'Cooking Guide' table.

Use and Care

Using the grill

This multi-function oven has 2 different grilling modes.

Use the 'Grill' mode ☐ with the oven door ajar, place the food on the centre of the grill pan, insert and fit the grill pan on either the 3rd or 4th shelf from the bottom. Note: only the central part of the top heating element operates for grilling.

When using 'Grill' mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to the highest setting. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

Use 'Fan assisted grill' mode with the oven door shut. This mode is very useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat by the fan makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom of the food. It can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta bakes for example.

When using 'Fan assisted grill' mode, place the food on the 2nd or 3rd oven shelf from the bottom, then place a dripping-pan on the 1st rack from the bottom to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the oven floor. We recommend you set the thermostat to 200^ , as it is the most efficient temperature for 'Fan assisted grill' mode. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

Important: for best results and to save energy, always use the 'Fan assisted grill' with the oven door shut.

Use and Care

Baking cakes

When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the indicator light will turn off). To prevent heat loss and the cake from dropping, do not open the oven door during baking.

In general...

... if pastry is too dry

Increase the temperature by 10^ C and reduce the cooking time.

... if pastry has dropped

Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10^ C.

... if pastry is too dark on top

Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

... if cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside

Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.

... if the pastry sticks to the pan

Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use greaseproof paper.

... if I used multi shelf cooking and one shelf is more cooked

Use a lower temperature setting next time. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Use and Care

Cooking pizza

For best results when cooking pizza:

• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes.
- Use a light aluminum pizza pan, placing it on the shelf supplied with the oven. Don't use the dripping pan since this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust.
- Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking;
- If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the cooking process.
- For best results, only use one shelf at a time, but if you want to cook on two shelves, use the 2nd and 4th racks from the bottom with a temperature of 220^ C and swap them halfway through cooking.

Cooking fish and meat

When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use a temperature setting from 180^ C to 200^ C.

For red meat that you want well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is best to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards.

In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the shelf and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.

Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use a lower shelf height. For savoury roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.

Use and Care

Cooktop cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning, make sure all burners are 'off' and allow the appliance to cool down.

The enamelled or stainless steel parts should be washed with lukewarm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive substances. If any stainless steel has difficult to remove stains, use cleaners specifically recommended to clean stainless steel. After cleaning any surface, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry.

Wash the burner caps and head/skirts often with hot water and detergent, taking care to remove all deposits. Ensure the burner ports in the head/skirts are clear and are not blocked by water or detergent. The hob pan stands can also be washed in a dishwasher. For stubborn dirt, use ordinary non-abrasive detergents or specific commercial products. We strongly advise not to use scouring pads, steel wool or acids for cleaning. Do not steam clean this appliance.

Ignition plug

Automatic burner ignition is provided by a ceramic 'plug' and a metal electrode (E in fig.1). Periodically clean these parts of the hob thoroughly. In addition, to avoid ignition difficulties, check that the cavities in the burner are not obstructed. To remove deposits from the burner cavities, remove the burner caps (see images right). After cleaning, put the burner heads and caps back together and return them correctly to their position. After washing, replace the pan supports, checking that they are correctly positioned.

Use and Care

Oven cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning your oven or performing maintenance, make sure that the cooking mode selection knob and the cooking temperature selection knob is set to 'OFF'. To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently.

The inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm (but not hot), with warm water and soap. The soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers acidic cleaners such as lime scale remover, etc. as these could damage the enamel. If stains are particularly tough to remove, use cleaners specifically recommended to clean ovens and follow the instructions provided with the cleaner. Never use a steam cleaner for cleaning inside the oven.

If you operate your oven for an extended period of time, or if you are cooking dishes that contain a lot of water, condensation may form on the oven door. Dry it using a soft cloth and try reducing the cooking temperature.

There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which is necessary to ensure the correct operation of the oven. Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it but avoid using abrasive products or objects to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact Technika Service Department. We recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.

THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED ON A BASE.

Installation

Anti-tilting chain/hose restraining chain

WARNING: Ensure the chains are correctly anchored to prevent the appliance from tilting forward and to prevent strain on the hose when the cooker is pulled forward.

The cooker is supplied with two chains which are connected to the rear left and right of the appliance. The chains should be connected to the wall directly behind the chains as low as possible to prevent the appliance from tilting forward. The chains also prevent strain on the hose when the cooker is pulled forward. Ensure the chain connections are strong enough to support the weight of the appliance.

Once the chains are installed, check that they prevent the appliance from tilting forward and that there is no strain on the hose when the cooker is pulled as far forward as the chains allow.

If the cooker is INSTALLED between two cupboards you must drill a 16mm hole level to the safety chain height on either cupboard as far back as possible, locate the cooker into position and pass the safety chains through the 16mm holes, with the cooker in the final position pull both safety chains and secure them to the inside of the cupboard with two screws on each safety chain.

Please test that the cooker does not tilt forward.

Incorrect Installation

Accidental Tipping

Chains are provided as a preventative measure against accidental tipping. These chains must be fitted as part of the installers compliance.. Failure for your installer to fit chains in accordance with the relevant installationcode will make the installation of your upright cooker non-compliant and class as an illegal installation.

Incorrect Installation

The photographs on this page are of one single kind of incorrect installation (although there are many) which does not have the chains sufficiently secured, figure 1. shows an example of how far forward an oven can tip when not secured properly. Note: Correct installation is part of the installers compliance

Left Side of oven, chain not attached

Unfortunately the example on this page is the way many installers are installing uprights. They may believe that they are using the correct method by putting the chain through a hole into the adjacent cabinet and screwing the chain to the back wall but it will not work if not done properly.

Putting the chain into the adjacent cabinet is the preferred method, provided there is no slackness in the chain..

Some installations only have a single chain affixed. Both chains must be fixed as part of the installers compliance. Failure to fix both chains will make the installation non compliant.

Correct Chain Installation

Left Side

In order to prevent the oven from tipping forward as shown on the previous page, we need to make sure both chainsprovided with the oven are used.

On the left side of the oven a 16mm drill bit was used to drill through the cabinetry into the adjacent cabinet, as you can see the hole has not been drilled hard up against the wall because there is a 16mm board at the rear of the cabinet. The height of the hole from the floor is level with where the chain attaches to the oven.

The right side has been drilled much the same, a new hole has been drilled below the gas and power supply hole.

Right Side

Interior view of a room with a pipe and electrical wiring, no visible text or symbols

Once the holes have been drilled the chains can be fed through and the upright can be fitted into position.

The chains then need to be pulled as tight as possible from inside the cabinet while at the same time being fixed to the rear of the cabinet using a self drilling wood screw. It is better to have the screw fixed closer to the hole for better support. The left and right side examples shown have two extra screws attached to the chain which makes the installation neater by keeping the chain off the shelf away from the gas and electricity supply, they will also provide added support.

At this point the oven will be secured in location and will not move forward at all, it is recommended that all upright oven chains be fitted in this way.

Installation forms part of the installers compliance and that in line with AG regulations chains are designed to be installed to prevent cooker from tilting. They are not designed to replace parental supervision when the cooker is in use.

Installation

Connection to the gas supply

For ease of service, the cooker should be connected with a Flexible Hose, which complies with AS/NZS 1869 (AGA Approved), 10mm ID, class B or D, between 1 - 1.2m long and in accordance with AS5601 for a high level connection.

WARNING: Ensure that the hose is not subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation and should be able to be inspected along its entire length. Unions compatible with the hose fittings must be used and connections tested for gas leaks. The fixed consumer piping outlet should be at approximately the same height as the cooker connection point, pointing downwards and approximately 200mm - 300mm in from the left hand side of the cooker. The hose should be clear of the floor when the cooker is in the installed position. The hose restraint chain supplied should be anchored to the wall so that the chain prevents strain on the hose connections when he cooker is pulled forward.

The supply connection point must be accessible with the appliance installed. Fit the supplied elbow and gasket as shown in the illustration below. The gas inlet connection has a 1/2" BSP male thread. When making the connection, take care not to apply excessive stress by counterbalancing tightening force. Ensure that the available gas supply is the same as the gas type label affixed near the gas connection point. If not, contact Technika for a Gas Conversion Kit. The gas supply pressure must be adjusted in accordance with the data label for the gas type. Adjust the test point pressure with the largest burner operating at maximum.

Installation

Electrical connection

Fit a plug that is appropriately rated for the load indicated on the data plate to the cable supplied with the appliance. The plug must be compatible with the socket outlet fitted to the final sub-circuit in the fixed wiring that is intended to supply this appliance.

If connecting the cable directly to the mains, install a suitable isolating switch with a minimum contact opening of 3mm between the appliance and the mains. The isolating switch should be sized according to the load on the data label and should comply with current regulations (the earth wire should not be interrupted by the circuit breaker).

Connection to the electricity supply must be made by an authorised person is accordance with the Wiring Rules AS/NZS3000.

The supply cable should be positioned so that it does not reach a temperature of more than 75^ C.

Replacing the power supply lead

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

Before leaving

When the installation is complete, always check for gas leaks using a soapy solution. Never use a flame to make this check.

Ignite all burners on high flame to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe each burner to ensure they ignite completely at all ports and that the flame is stable. Conduct these checks for each burner individually and concurrently.

When satisfied with the hotplate, please instruct the user on the correct method of operation. In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been carried out, please call the Technika Service Centre.
