GETTING TO KNOW YOUR GAS COOKTOP

Using your gas hotplates

NOTE: Gas controls turn anticlockwise from ‘Off’ and

have limited movement.

Lighting burners

Electronic ignition

These hobs are fitted with mains powered electronic

ignition. When the appliance has been connected

and the power is on, depressing any knob will release

sparks to all burners. To light a burner, depress the

corresponding knob and while continuing to depress

knob turn anticlockwise to ‘HI’ position. The knob may

be released once the flame is established, and turned

further anticlockwise to reduce the flame height

as desired.

Flame safeguard models

Models with flame safeguard have the same ignition

procedure as electronic ignition, but require the knob

to continue to be depressed after flame is established

for approximately 5 seconds. If the flame goes out

when the knob is released, simply depress the knob

again, this time holding it down with slightly more force

for the same length of time.

WARNING!

• Keephandsclearofburnerswhenlighting.

• Ifburnerdoesnotlightwithin5seconds,turnknobto

‘Off’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try

lighting again.

• BurnersMUSTbeoperatedbetween‘HIGH’and

‘LOW’ settings only.

To conserve gas, place the pan centrally over the

burner and adjust the flame so that it does not go past

the edge of the cookware.

NOTE: In the absence of electrical power, carry out the

ignition directly to the burner with a hand held ignition

source.

USING YOUR OVEN

Understanding your oven functions

Rapid Heat

Function 1

Heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans as

well as the smaller element above the food. This allows

you to preheat your oven 30% quicker than on standard

“Bake”. “Rapid Heat” is ideal for cooking frozen pre-

cooked foods such as savoury dishes, pastries, pizzas,

mini meals (TV dinners), meat pies and fruit pies. Simply

place the food in the oven straight from the freezer and

heat – ideal for busy people. Cook in the upper half of

the oven for best results.

Fan Bake

Function 2

Heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans.

The fans circulate the hot air around the oven cavity

so that you can put your food in different places in the

oven and still cook them at the same time. You can

use the “Fan Bake” function for multi-shelf cooking,

reheating cooked foods, pastries and complete oven

meals. It will cook at a lower temperature and be

faster than baking. Please note that some variation in

browning is normal.

Bake / Pizza

Function 3

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one

below the food. The bottom element is a clean heat

element and is below the floor of the oven. Both

elements are controlled by the thermostat and will turn

on and off to maintain the set temperature. You can use

the “Bake” function for single trays of biscuits, scones,

muffins, cakes, slices, casseroles, baked puddings,

roasts and delicate egg dishes.

Base Heat

Function 4

Heat comes from the element below the floor of the

oven. The Element is controlled by the thermostat and

will turn on and off to maintain the set temperature.

The “Base Heat” function can be used to add extra

browning to the bases of pizzas, pies and pastries.

Cook in the lower half of the oven when you are using

only one shelf. For best results, use silver or shiny trays.

Fan Assist

Function 5

Heat comes from two elements, one above and one

below the food. The fans circulate the hot air around

the oven cavity so that you can put the food in different

places in the oven and still cook them at the same time.

You should only use a maximum of 2 shelves with “Fan

Assist”. Do not use the bottom shelf. If two shelves are

used, food on the shelf in the higher position will cook

first and should then be removed to allow the food on

the lower shelf to finish cooking.

Pizza

Function 6

“Pizza” is a combination of “Base Heat” and “Fan

Bake” and offers you the combined benefits of both

functions. Heat comes from the elements surrounding

the fans as well as the clean heat element below the

oven floor. The “Pizza” function is ideal for foods that

require cooking and browning on the base. It is great for

foods such as pizzas, quiches, meat pies and fruit pies.

Simply place the food in the middle of the oven and set

the desired temperature.

USING YOUR OVEN (CONTINUED)

Defrost

Function 7

The “Defrost” function uses low temperature air that is

circulated by the fans. 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.

Fan Grill

Function 8

“Fan Grill” offers you the benefits of both “Bake” and

traditional “Grill” functions. The grill element turns on

and off to maintain the set temperature while the fans

circulate the heated air. The oven door remains closed

for fan grill. You can use “Fan Grill” for large cuts of

meat to give you a result that is similar to “rotisserie”

cooked meat. Put your food on a shelf in the second

lowest shelf position. Put the grill dish on the lowest

shelf position to catch any spills. When using “Fan

Grill” it is not necessary to turn the food over during

the cooking cycle. Set the temperature to 180°C.

Grill

Function 9

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 oven door closed. 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. You can slide your grill dish into either of the 2

spaces within the upper pairs of support rails.

Maxi Grill

Function 10

“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.

Grill with the oven door closed. “Maxi Grill” allows you

to take full advantage of the large grill dish area and

will cook faster than normal “Grill”. For best results it is

recommended to preheat your grill for 3 minutes. This

will help seal in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for

a better flavour. You can slide your grill dish into either

of the 2 spaces within the upper pairs of support.

Fast Heat Up

“Fast Heat Up” can be selected in the initial heat up

phase of any cooking function. During “Fast Heat Up”

the heat comes from the elements surrounding the fans

as well as the smaller element above the food. This allows

you to preheat your oven 30% quicker than on standard

“Bake / Pizza”. See Using your programmable controller

to operate the oven instructions for more information.

Cooling / Venting fan

Your built-in appliance is fitted with a cooling fan.

This prevents your kitchen cabinet from overheating

and reduces the condensation inside the oven. It will

operate whenever you are using your oven or grill and

will blow warm air across the top of the oven door.

In some appliances the cooling fan may continue to

operate after the appliance is turned off. It will switch

off by itself once oven is cool

Condensation

Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may

happen when you are cooking large quantities of food

from a cold start. You can minimize condensation by:

• Keepingtheamountofwaterusedwhilstcooking

to a minimum.

• Makingsurethattheovendoorisfirmlyclosed.

• Bakingcustardinabakingdishthatisslightly

smaller than the water container.

• Cookingcasseroleswiththelidon.

NOTE: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn to

steam and may condense outside your appliance. This

is not a problem or fault with your oven.

COOKING GUIDE (CONTINUED)

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 grill insert.

Place the meat on the insert.

3. Do not pierce the meat, as this will allow juices

to escape.

4. When the meat is cooked, take the roast out of the

oven, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand

for about 10 minutes. This will help retain the

juices when the meat is carved. The table shows

temperatures and cooking times for different kinds

of meat. These may vary depending on the thickness

or bone content of the meat.

Grilling GUIDE

WARNING!

NOTE: Always clean the grill / oven dish after every

use. Excessive fat build up may cause a fire.

Grilling is conducted with the oven door closed

As a method of cooking, grilling can be used to:

• Enhancetheflavoursofvegetables,fish,poultry

and meat.

• Sealthesurfaceofthefoodandretainthe

natural juices.

This table shows how to grill different types of meat:

Beef Tenderloin, rump, sirloin. Brush with oil or

melted butter, especially if the meat is

very lean.

Lamb Loin chops, short loin chops, chump chops,

and forequarter chops. Remove skin or cut

at intervals to stop curling. Brush with oil or

melted butter.

Sausages Prick sausages to stop skin from bursting.

Poultry Divide into serving pieces. Brush with oil.

Fish Brush with oil or melted butter and lemon

juice.

Bacon Remove rind. Grill flat.

Guide to better grilling

Steak 15 – 20 minutes

Chops 20 – 30 minutes

Fish 8 – 10 minutes

Bacon 4 – 5 minutes

No definite times can be given for grilling because

this depends on your own tastes and the size of the

food. These times should only be used as a guide and

remember to turn the food over half way through the

cooking process.

For better grilling results, follow these easy instructions:

1. Preheat grill for at least 5 minutes.

2. Choose only prime cuts of meat or fish. If the cut is

less than 5mm thick it will dry out. If the cut is more

than 40mm thick, the outside may burn whilst the

inside remains raw.

3. Do not place aluminium foil under the food as this

prevents fats and oils from draining away, which

could result in a fire.

4. Baste the food during cooking with butter, olive oil

or marinade. Grilled food is better if marinated

before cooking.

5. Use tongs to turn food as a fork pierces the surface

and will let juices escape.

Fan Grill

The “Fan Grill” assists the grilling process by circulating

the heat evenly around the food. The recommended

temperature setting is 180°C for all fan grilling functions.

1. Place the grill dish on the bottom rack.

Place meat / poultry on an oven shelf above the grill dish.

3. Wipe off any oil or fat which spatters while the oven

is still warm.
