How to use your oven
We recommend that you read the instructions in this owner's manual carefully before use. It will
provide you with all the instructions you require to ensure safe installation, use and maintenance.
Always keep this owner's manual close to hand since you may need to refer to it in the future.
Place the spare serial number sticker on the front of this manual for future reference as you will
need the serial number should this appliance need servicing.
It is important to remember that this oven may perform differently to the way your previous
appliance worked. To obtain the best cooking results please experiment with the temperature, rack
height and cooking times. As a guide to help you with this process please refer to the “Cooking
Mode Table”.
This multi-function oven combines the advantages of traditional convection ovens with those of
the more modern fan assisted models in a single appliance. It is an extremely versatile.
Steam and Condensation
Often owners of new ovens will see a higher level of steam and condensation than they are used
to in their previous appliance. This is normal and contributes to keeping the food moist during
cooking. The amount of steam and condensation will depend on the type of food (fresh, defrosted,
frozen) being cooked. The style of cooking (water baths) will also contribute to the amount of
steam and condensation generated. Climatic conditions also contribute to the generation of
condensation.
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way a boiling kettle does. When steam comes
into contact with the oven door glass it will condensate and produce droplets. To reduce
condensation, ensure that the oven is well heated before placing food in the oven cavity.
Oven
pre-heating is necessary before any cooking!
It is normal for steam to escape the oven when opening the door. To reduce the build-up of
condensation, pre heat the oven for longer periods and occasionally open the door and carefully
wipe away the condensation. Adjusting your cooking practices will also ensure a minimum build up
of condensation.
