Using your Freestanding Cooker

If you require any technical guidance or find that your product is not operating as intended, a simple solution can often be found in the Troubleshooting section of these instructions,
Using the Grill
This multi-function oven has 2 dierent grilling
modes.
Use the ‘Grill’ mode
with the oven door ajar,
place the food on the centre of the grill pan, insert
and fit the grill pan on either the 3rd or 4th shelf
from the bottom. Note: only the central part of the
top heating element operates for grilling.
When using ‘Grill’ mode, we recommend you set
the thermostat to the highest setting. However,
this does not mean you cannot use lower
temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat knob
to the desired temperature.
Use ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode
with the oven
door shut. This mode is very useful for grilling
foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat by the fan
makes it possible not only to brown the surface,
but also to cook the bottom of the food. It can
also be used for browning foods at the end of the
cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish
to pasta bakes for example.
When using ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode, place the
food on the 2nd or 3rd oven shelf from the
bottom, then place a dripping-pan on the 1st rack
from the bottom to prevent fat and grease from
dripping onto the oven floor. We recommend
you set the thermostat to 200°c, as it is the most
ecient temperature for ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode.
However, this does not mean you cannot use
lower temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat
knob to the desired temperature.
Important: for best results and to save energy,
always use the ‘Fan assisted grill’ with the oven
door shut.
Baking cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a
preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven
has been preheated thoroughly (the indicator light
will turn o). To prevent heat loss and the cake
from dropping, do not open the oven door during
baking.
In general...
... if pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
... if pastry has dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
... if pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature,
and increase the cooking time.
... if cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
... if the pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting
of flour or use greaseproof paper.
... if I used multi shelf cooking and one shelf is
more cooked
Use a lower temperature setting next time. It is not
necessary to remove the food from all the racks at
the same time.
