Cooking guidelines
• Please refer to the information given on food packaging for guidance on cooking temperatures and times.
Once familiar with the performance of your appliance, temperatures and times can be varied to suit per-
sonal preference.
• If you are using the fan oven function, then you should follow the information given on the food packaging
for this particular mode of cooking.
• Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking, unless the instructions on the food
packaging advise that you can "cook from frozen".
• You should pre-heat the oven and not place food inside of it until the oven operating light has gone off. You
can choose not to pre-heat when using the fan oven mode; however you should extend the cooking time
given on the food packaging by approximately ten minutes.
• Before cooking, check that any accessories that are not required are removed from the oven.
• Place cooking trays in the centre of the oven and leave gaps between the trays to allow air to circulate.
• Try to open the door as little as possible to view the dishes.
• The oven light will remain on during cooking.
Safety during cooking
• Keep the oven door closed when using any of the grill functions.
• Do not use aluminium foil to cover the grill pan or heat items wrapped in aluminium foil under the grill. The
high reflectivity of the foil could potentially damage the grill element.
• You should also never line the base of your oven with aluminium foil.
• During cooking, never place pans or cookware directly onto the bottom of your oven. They should always
be placed on the shelves provided.
• The grill heating element and other internal components of the oven becomes extremely hot during op-
eration, avoid touching it inadvertently when handling the food which you are grilling.
