Cooking guidelines
o Please refer to the information given on food packaging for
guidance on cooking temperatures and times. Once familiar with
the performance of your appliance, temperatures and times can
be varied to suit personal preference.
o If you are using the fan oven function, then you should follow
the information given on the food packaging for this particular
mode of cooking.
o Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before
cooking, unless the instructions on the food packaging advise
that you can “cook from frozen”.
o You should pre-heat the oven and not place food inside of it until
the oven operating light has gone off. You can choose not to pre-
heat when using the fan oven mode; however you should extend
the cooking time given on the food packaging by approximately
ten minutes.
o Before cooking, check that any unused accessories are removed
from the oven.
o Place cooking trays in the centre of the oven and leave gaps
between the trays to allow air to circulate.
o Try to open the door as little as possible to view the dishes.
o The oven light will remain on during cooking.
Warnings
o Keep the oven door closed when using any of the grill or oven
functions.
o Do not use aluminium foil to cover the grill pan or heat items
wrapped in aluminium foil under the grill. The high reflectivity of
the foil could potentially damage the grill element.
o You should never line the base of your oven with aluminium foil.
o During cooking, never place pans or cookware directly onto the
bottom of the oven. They should always be placed on the shelves
provided.
o The grill heating element becomes extremely hot during
operation, avoid touching it inadvertently when handling the
food which you are grilling.
