USING YOUR OvEN
Pre-heating your appliance
For best results when baking it is recommended that you preheat
your oven for 30 minutes. Preheat the grill for 3 minutes to
obtain best results. Pre-heating your appliance allows it to
reach the required temperature quickly and efficiently.
With "rapid heat"
For electric multifunction appliances preheat your oven by
selecting the "rapid heat" function. This function allows your
oven to reach the preset temperature quicker than any other
cooking function.
1. Turn the function selector to "rapid heat".
2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your
oven temperature selector. When the indicator light
above the temperature selector goes out, the oven
has reached the desired temperature. Select the oven
function you require for cooking or baking and place
the food in the oven.
With "bake/pizza"
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 in the oven, close the
door and set the timer if you desire.
With "fan bake"
1. It is recommended to 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.
Setting temperatures
The following table displays the temperature settings for
recipes which do not show actual temperatures for non fan
modes. For fan-forced modes the temperature should be
reduced by 10°C.
