Turning the oven on
• Switch on the oven by touching the ON/OFF

inform you that you need to select a cooking function.
• If you do not select a function within 20 seconds the
oven will turn off.
Select a cooking function
Your oven will have a selection of functions. Press the
function or function symbols as many times as
necessary until the desired function appears.
Cooking suggestions will appear under the function name
and suggested cooking temperatures will appear above
the temperature selector.
If no other symbol is touched within 8 seconds the
oven will switch on and begin to heat up to the
displayed temperature.
Selecting a temperature
The temperature is electronically controlled.
The temperature can be selected within the range of 30ºC
to 250ºC and can be adjusted at any time. To set the
temperature, press the temperature and temperature
symbols to reach the desired setting.
Press OK, or if no further changes are made within 8
seconds the oven begins to heat up to the set temperature.
The current oven temperature will appear above set
temperature.
When the temperature is reached, "Set temperature
reached" will appear, only the target temperature will
be displayed.
Turning the oven off
Touch the 'ON/OFF' symbol to switch off the oven.
IMPORTANT!
Pre-heating
Pre-heating your oven is recommended in several cooking
and grilling functions. Pre-heating your appliance allows it
to reach the required temperature quickly and efficiently as
well as cook your food at the correct temperature for the
entire cook time.
These models are equipped with a built-in rapid heat-up
that activates each time you start an oven function. During
the rapid heat-up phase the heat comes from the element
surrounding the fan as well as the grill elements above
the food. This combination will heat up your oven 30%
quicker than it would on standard "Bake". The oven will
automatically revert to the set cooking function once the
preset temperature is reached.
Cooling / Vent fan
The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. This prevents
the kitchen cabinet from overheating and reduces the
condensation inside the oven. It will operate whenever
the oven is in use and blow warm air across the top of the
oven door.
NOTE: If the oven is still hot from cooking, the cooling fan
will keep running to cool the oven down and will switch off
by itself once cool.
Condensation
Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may
happen when cooking large quantities of food from a cold
start. Minimise condensation by:
Keeping the amount of water used whilst cooking to a
minimum.
Making sure 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 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 with the timer
Your oven is equipped with a programmable controller that
can be used to turn the oven on and off automatically. The
'cook time' controls are used to automatically turn the oven
off after a set amount of time. The 'Delay End' controls are
used to set the time of day that you want the cooking cycle
to finish at.
Setting the cook time
1. Select the desired oven function and
cooking temperature.
2. Touch the cook time symbol as often as necessary
(or hold), until the desired cook time has been set.
3. Press 'OK' or after 8 seconds from the last time
adjustment the oven will start cooking and the 'cook
time' display will countdown to zero.
4. The oven will turn off and beep when the 'cook time'
display reaches zero.
IMPORTANT!
• When you use the 'cook time' function, the 'Finishes
at' display activates and tells you what time of day the
oven will turn off (based on the set cook time).
• During cooking, you can adjust the cook time with
the Cook time or symbols.
• When the cook time has elapsed, an audible signal
will sound for two minutes, the oven will switch off
and COOKING FINISHED will be displayed.
• To stop the audible signal, press any of the symbols
on the control panel.
• If you wish to cook a bit longer, press the cook time
symbol for each additional minute you require.
The oven automatically reverts to the function and
temperature previously programmed. This feature
is available for 5 minutes after cooking has finished.
After that, the oven automatically switches off.
Setting the delay end time
The delay end function can be used to switch the oven on
and off at a specific time during the day.
1. Check the clock displays the correct time of day.
2. Select the desired oven function and
cooking temperature.
3. Set the required cook time.
4. Press the 'delay end' symbol to move the end time.
5. Touch 'OK' or after 8 seconds from the last time
adjustment the SET icon will light and your oven is
now programmed. The oven will start its cooking
cycle to finish at the set 'end time'.
6. When the oven has finished cooking, cook time can
be extended or the beeper turned off just as in 'cook
time' mode.
7. Touch the 'delay end' symbol to move the end
time forward.
8. Touch 'OK' or after 8 seconds from the last time
adjustment the SET icon will light and the oven is
now programmed.
The oven will commence its cooking cycle to finish at the
set 'end time'.
IMPORTANT!
• 30 seconds after a cooking function has started, it is
no longer possible to delay the start time.
• In order to delay a cooking function that has already
started, the oven needs to be switched off then
switched on again and re-programmed.
• Even though the heating element turns off, the oven
will still retain substantial heat. This will continue to
cook food until it is removed or the oven cools down.
If you do not plan on being present when the oven
turns off, you should take this extra heating time
into account.
