First Time Use And Quick Start Guide
The purpose of this section is to get you using your oven to cook a meal with minimal delay. More
detailed instructions that will give you greater control of your oven are contained later.
It is important to clean your oven before preparing food for the first time. To avoid electrical
shock or burns, make sure the oven is turned off, and the oven has cooled down.
Use a damp cloth with warm water and a little detergent to wipe down all the internal surfaces
of the oven. Next, thoroughly wipe down the cleaned surfaces with a soft cloth and cold water
and then dry them with a clean, soft cloth to remove any remaining residue.
Clean The Oven
Before placing food in your oven for the first time, you will need to do an initial heating. The
elements in your oven have a fine oil film on them, applied to help protect the appliance during
shipping. You now need to burn off this fine oil film. You may notice some smoke and/or smell
when you do this, which is perfectly normal.
Ensure the oven is set for Manual operation, as explained above.
Select “High Bake” by turning the Mode control knob in either direction.
Turn the oven Temperature control in a clockwise direction to 180°C.
Keep the oven door closed and leave the oven on for about 1 hour, or until any smoke has
disappeared.
Now using the Mode control knob, select “Fan Grill”. Keep the oven door closed and leave
for a further 20 minutes or until any smoke has disappeared.
Turn oven off by returning the Temperature control and Mode control to the off position.
Wait till the oven has cooled down before proceeding.

Initial Heating
When power is first connected to your oven: The time of day “(0:00)” and
“AUTO” will flash in the display. Simply press the “Reset” button under the
clock to automatically place the unit in manual mode so that you can
continue to use the oven.
Although not necessary at this stage, you may set the time of day. Refer to
“Using The Programmable Clock” for instructions on how to do this.
NOTE: With double oven models, the clock controls the upper oven only. The
lower oven must be turned on and off manually.
Set The Clock To Manual Mode (Electronic Timer Models Only)
12:05
To time your cooking: Turn the Timer knob in a clockwise direction to the
desired number of minutes, up to a maximum of 120 minutes (2 hours). You
should hear a faint ticking sound as the timer proceeds to wind itself back to
zero. When the timer reaches zero, the oven switches itself off. You can still
switch the oven off before the timer reaches zero by simply setting the Mode
and Temperature Controls to “OFF”.
Note: When using any mechanical timer, it is more accurate if you turn the
control knob slightly past the required number of minutes, and then turn it
back again to the desired setting.
The timer can be set to Manual: Turn the Timer knob to the Manual setting.
The timer will be deactivated, allowing you to turn the oven on and off as
you need.
