Pre-heating your appliance

Pre-heating your oven is recommended in cooking and grilling functions. Pre-heating your
appliance allows it to reach the required temperature quickly and efficiently.
When baking bread or cakes, load the oven as quickly as possible after pre-heating, only leaving
the oven door open for the shortest time. This will minimise loss of heat from the oven and ensure
the best results.
With "bake"
1. It is recommended you preheat your appliance when cooking or baking.
2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your oven temperature selector.
When the indicator light goes out the oven has reached the desired preset temperature, place
your food into the oven, close the door and set the timer if you desire.
With "grill"
Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best results. This will help to seal the natural
juices of steak, chops and other meats for a better flavour.
