How should I preheat the oven before cooking?

For grilling functions, preheat the oven for at least 3 minutes for best results. For other functions, preheat until the desired temperature is reached. Refer to the temperature guide in the manual for common settings.

How do I clean the oven door?

2. It can also be mounted with a proud fit with the surrounding cabinet (Figure B).

Figure A: Cabinet Top View

∴ m = 3/11

① Cabinet Front ② Oven Top ③ Filling Plate

Note: - Oven must be installed on a flat and level surface; venting space must be present. Non-flammable material is recommended for the surrounding cabinet panels and filling plates - Power socket should be conveniently accessible and properly earthed

Function Descriptions

Rapid Heat

Heat comes from the element around the circulating fan as well as the smaller element above food. This helps to preheat oven 30% quicker than on standard heating. Simply place food in oven straight from the freezer. Ideal for: cooking frozen (pre-cooked) food, e.g. savoury pastries, pizzas, meat pies and fruit pies. Note: Cook in the upper half of the oven for best results.

Heat With Fan

Heat comes from the element around the fan, with fan circulating hot air within the oven chamber. Food can be placed in several different positions in the oven at the same time. And this function is quicker than standard non-fan [ Heat Only ] function.

Note: Some variation in browning is normal.

Heat Only

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one below food. Both elements are controlled by thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain the desired temperature. Ideal for: Baking single trays of biscuits, scones, muffins, cakes, casseroles, egg pudding, etc.

Base Heat

Heat comes from element below food. The element is controlled by thermostat and will turn on and off to maintain desired temperature. Ideal for: Adding extra browning to the bottoms of pizzas, pies and pastries.

Defrost

The "Defrost" function uses low temperature air that is circulated by the fan. Ideal for: defrost/thaw food before cooking. "Defrost" function can also be used to raise yeast dough and dry fruit, vegetables and herbs.

Grill With Fan

Heat comes from two heating elements above food. It combines the benefits of both "Heating" and "Grill" functions. The grill element switches on and off to maintain the desired temperature while the fan circulates heated air. The oven door remains closed for this function. Ideal for: Grill large cuts of meat, which gives you a result that is similar to "rotisserie" cooked meat.

Note: Place on a rack in the second lowest level. Put baking pan on the lowest level to catch any spills and droppings. It is not necessary to turn over during "Grill With Fan" cooking cycle.

Function Descriptions

Grill

Radiant heat is directed from the powerful upper element onto food. Ideal for: Grill tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, open toasts and other quick cooking foods.

Note: Preheat oven for 3 minutes to get the best results.

Turbo Grill

"Turbo Grill" directs radiant heat from two powerful upper elements onto the food. Ideal for: Grill tender cuts of meat, sausages, open toasts and other quick cooking foods.

Note: Preheat oven for 3 minutes to get the best results.

Operating Instructions

I. Precautions

II. Operating Procedures

1. Pre-heat Oven Chamber

Pre-heating of oven is recommended for some of the grilling functions. Pre-heating allows oven to reach required temperature quickly and efficiently.

B. Meat

1. Place meat in oven and set temperature between 180°C and 200°C. It is recommended to wrap meat in a roasting bag or foil to prevent fats and oil from splattering.

3. Do not pierce meat, as it will allow meat juice to escape.
4. When meat is cooked, remove meat from oven.
5. Wrap meat in aluminium foil and leave to stand for about 10 minutes. It will help retain meat juice when the meat is carved.

Meat	Temperature	Grilling Level	Time

5. Operating Tips

• Seasoning is not necessary when grilling. However, to enrich meat flavour, you can grill fish on top of a bed of herbs, or add a bunch of rosemary or tarragon to your poultry dish
• Food cooks faster and more evenly when cut into pieces
• To make poultry, veal and pork look more appetizing, apply a small amount of fat in baking pan and heat meat on all sides
