COOKING GUIDE Oven cooking guidelines IMPORTANT! ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 18 Use all the oven modes with the oven door closed. Never use aluminum foil to cover the oven shelves or to line the floor of the oven. The trapped heat can irreversibly damage the enamel and may even cause fire. Do not place water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor, as this will irreversibly damage the enamel. Do not cover the broil pan with aluminum foil. This will catch the grease and could cause fire.
COOKING GUIDE Oven cooking guidelines ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ROASTING The broil rack and broil pan are ideal for broiling and roasting. Place meat on the broil rack (on top of the broil pan) to allow hot air to circulate around it. This gives more even browning and a result similar to a rotisserie. Boneless, rolled or stuffed roasts take longer than roasts containing bones. Use a meat thermometer to determine when meat is cooked.
COOKING GUIDE Oven cooking guidelines ● ● ● ● ● REHEATING Use BAKE or BAKE CONVECTION to reheat food. BAKE mode is particularly good for reheating pastry based items, as the base heat will help re-crisp the pastry case. Always reheat food to piping hot. This reduces the risk of contamination by harmful bacteria. Once hot, reduce the temperature to WARM to keep the food warm. Never reheat food more than once.
OVEN MODES IMPORTANT! ● Use all the modes with the oven door closed. Dual fuel models only BAKE ● ● ● Heat may come from either the upper and lower areas of the cavity. The fan is not used in this mode. Ideal for cakes and foods that require baking for a long time or at low temperatures. This mode is not suitable for multi-shelf cooking. Ideal for moist foods that take a longer time to cook, such as rich fruit cake.
OVEN MODES TRUE CONVECTION (some models only) ● ● ● ● ● ● ● By using the central rear heating element and fan, hot air is blown into the cavity, providing a consistent temperature at all levels, making it perfect for multi-shelf cooking. Trays of cookies cooked on different shelves are crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. Meat and poultry are deliciously browned and sizzling while remaining juicy and tender. Casseroles are cooked to perfection and reheating is quick and efficient.
OVEN MODES BROIL CONVECTION (some models only) ● ● This mode uses the intense heat from the upper cavity area for top browning and the fan to ensure even cooking of foods. Meat, poultry and vegetables cook beautifully; food is crisp and brown on the outside while the inside remains moist and tender. Ideal for whole chicken, tenderloin of beef or broiling your favorite chicken, fish or steak.
COOKING CHARTS Shelf positions are counted from the base up (1 is the lowest, 5 is the highest). Position shelves before you turn the oven on. For best results preheat the oven to the required temperature. The broil element may come on while the oven is heating up. The halo on the temperature dial will change from white to orange when the oven has reached the selected temperature. The halo may change between white and orange as the oven maintains its set temperature.

COOKTOP USE Using the cooktop burners Halo (Orange) 1 Identify the knob of the burner you want to use. Halo (Orange) 3 When the burner has lit, turn the knob to any setting between HI (high) and SIM (simmer). ● The clicking should stop as soon as the burner has lit. ● If the burner doesn’t light, and/or the clicking doesn’t stop, or the flames are not blue and well-defined, turn the knob clockwise back to OFF and see ‘Troubleshooting’ for advice.
COOKTOP USE Guidelines for using the cooktop burners ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● All burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering (1,300 BTU/hr). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.
COOKTOP USE Using the grill The grill has a reversible grate. It will change color with use as oils cook onto the surface. This is normal and doesn’t affect grilling performance. Ridged side Flat side For foods that need more support and don’t contain a lot of fat, such as: ● Fish ● Vegetables ● Lean chicken pieces. For foods where you want the fat to run down, such as: ● Hamburger patties ● Steak ● Sausages.
COOKTOP USE Grill cooking guidelines IMPORTANT! Never leave the grill unattended during use. Grease drippings may cause short flare-ups or even sustained flaming. If left unattended, these may cause fire. Make sure you have your ventilation hood set on maximum during grilling. Clean the grease drip-pan after every use. Accumulated grease can be a fire hazard. The longer you preheat the grill, the darker the grill marks will appear on food. Trim excess fat off meat to minimize flare-ups.
CARE AND CLEANING DOS ● ● ● ● ● ● ● DON’TS Read these cleaning instructions and the ‘Safety and warnings’ section before you start cleaning your range. Before cleaning or removing any part, make sure that everything on the range has been turned off. Unless suggested otherwise in the chart following, allow any part to cool to a safe temperature before cleaning. If you do need to handle a warm or hot part (eg grill or griddle), take extreme care.
CARE AND CLEANING WHAT? HOW OFTEN? Control knobs Oven handles HOW? IMPORTANT! 1 Wipe with a damp cloth using a solution of mild detergent and hot water. 2 Dry thoroughly with microfiber cloth. ● Kickstrip grate ● If wished, the knobs can be removed for cleaning. Before removing a knob, make sure that it is set to OFF, then pull it straight towards you. Remove only one knob at a time, and make sure that you refit it on its shaft completely and correctly after cleaning.
CARE AND CLEANING WHAT? HOW OFTEN? HOW? IMPORTANT! OVEN PARTS Side racks ● ● Pre-soak any stubborn, burnt-on soiling, then clean with a solution of mild detergent and hot water and wipe dry with a microfiber cloth. Alternatively, clean these in the dishwasher. Oven shelves 1 To remove stubborn or ‘baked-on’ soiling, scrub with a dampened, soap-filled, non-metal, non-abrasive pad, then wipe dry. 2 Apply a chrome cleaner with a damp sponge or cloth following manufacturer instructions. 3 Wipe and dry.
CARE AND CLEANING WHAT? HOW OFTEN? HOW? IMPORTANT! Avoid cleaning this part. If you need to remove large food particles off it, proceed as follows: 1 Dampen a sponge with clean hot water. 2 Gently wipe off the soiling, but do not rub. 3 Press a dry towel gently on the gasket to dry. ● OVEN PARTS Oven door gasket ● Do not use any cleaning agent on the gasket. The gasket is essential for a good seal. Take care not to rub, displace, or damage it.
CARE AND CLEANING WHAT? HOW OFTEN? Grill grate Radiant tray (under grill grate) HOW? IMPORTANT! 1 Check that the grill has been turned off. 2 Put on barbecue mitts for protection against steam and heat. 3 Scrub the grill with a brass bristle barbecue brush dipped frequently into a bowl of warm water. The softened food particles will drop onto the radiant tray below the grate. 4 Once the grate has cooled completely, remove it and wash in the sink with hot soapy water.
CARE AND CLEANING WHAT? HOW OFTEN? Griddle HOW? IMPORTANT! To remove light soiling after each use: 1 While the griddle is still hot, use a square-edged spatula or brass brush to clean the griddle of grease and food particles. 2 Once the griddle has cooled to lukewarm, rub the surface lightly with vegetable oil, then wipe thoroughly with a heavy, coarse cloth.
CARE AND CLEANING Removing and replacing the oven door IMPORTANT! ● ● ● ● Do not lift the oven door by its handle. Doing so may damage the door. Make sure the oven and the door are cool before you begin to remove the door. Before removing the door, make sure there is a large enough clear, protected surface in the kitchen to rest the door on. Take care, the oven door is heavy! To remove the oven door Lever 1 Open the door fully. 2 Open the levers fully on both sides.
CARE AND CLEANING To replace the oven door Notch 1 Hold the door firmly in an approximately halfway open position. 2 Insert the hinge tongues into the slots, making sure that the notches on both sides drop into place as shown. 3 Open the door fully. 4 Fully close the levers on the left and right hinges, as shown, then close the door.
CARE AND CLEANING Removing and replacing the side racks To remove side racks Lock stud Retaining wire 1 Remove any shelves first. See section ‘Positioning the shelves’ for instructions. 2 Gently pull down on the retaining wire from underneath the lock stud. The retaining wire will pop out. Mo unt 3 Swing the bottom of the side rack up towards the center of the oven until it is almost horizontal. ing slot s 4 Slide the prongs at the top out of the mounting slots.
CARE AND CLEANING Replacing the burner parts IMPORTANT! When replacing the burners, make sure that the two locating pins on the bottom of the brass flame spreader are properly aligned with the locating pin holes on the top of the simmer ring. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance.
CARE AND CLEANING Replacing the oven light bulb IMPORTANT! Use a 40 W, 120 V appliance light bulb for replacement. Do not use a standard light bulb in any oven, the heat will break it. 1 2 3 4 Allow the oven (including the lamp cover and the bulb) to cool completely. Remove any shelves that may get in the way. Remove the door if the lamp will be hard to reach. Turn the power supply to the range off at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. If you don’t know how to do this, contact an electrician.
CARE AND CLEANING Using the CLEAN cycle ● ● ● ● About the CLEAN cycle Main ovens in RDV2 models feature a self-cleaning cycle (CLEAN) which takes care of the mess and grime that is traditionally associated with oven cleaning. During self-cleaning, the oven reaches very high temperatures. This burns off and breaks down food soils and grease deposits. All that remains is a clean oven cavity with a little gray ash which you can easily remove.
CARE AND CLEANING To start a CLEAN cycle 1 Remove oven shelves, side racks and all other accessories, bakeware, and utensils. See ‘Removing and replacing the side racks’ and ‘Positioning the shelves’ for instructions. 2 Wipe up any spills or grease deposits and remove any loose food soiling. Failure to do so may discolor the oven surfaces and cause excessive smoking during the cycle. 3 Check that the lamp covers are in place.
CARE AND CLEANING When a CLEAN cycle has finished Once the oven has cooled to a cooking temperature, the halos around the function and temperature knobs will go out and the door will unlock. You need to: 1 Turn the oven mode and temperature knobs clockwise to OFF. ● This will re-enable the grill or griddle, and the secondary oven (48” models only). ● You may continue to hear the noise of the cooling fan: it is normal for the fan to stay on.
