1. Turn the oven/grill combination control knob clock-wise to
the grill position.
2. Preheat for 5-10 minutes.
3. Place food on wire grid of universal pan at shelf position 2
or 3.
4. Lightly oil meat or fish, and turn only once during grill
operation to conserve natural juices.
For browning and crisping, shelf position 2 will give best
results. Shelf 2 may also be used for grilling meats ( shelf 3 if
the meat is thick or has a high fat content).
Thermostat operation
The oven is equipped with a gas thermostat.
Its purpose is to keep the temperature at a
constant heat between 120° and 270°C. The
oven is fitted with electronic spark ignition
and a safety shut-off device.

seconds. This allows time for the flame control to operate
and the flame to remain alight.

Cooking tips
❍ Allow at least 15 minutes preheat time before cooking
commences to allow the interior to come up to the required
temperature. Refer to cooking chart on pages 18-19 for
approximate cooking temperatures, times and tray positions.
Personal experience will help determine any variations in
the values reported in the table. In any case, it is
recommended to follow the instructions of the specific recipe
used.
❍ When baking cakes and pastries it is advisable to preheat
the oven to one gas mark higher than required. This will
compensate for heat loss when opening the oven door.
Reduce temperature to setting required once food is placed
in the oven.
❍ Open door as little as possible during operation.
❍ If necessary to cover food with foil or baking paper ensure
that the foil or paper is firmly secured.
❍ Avoid using dark scone trays, cake tins or muffin trays. Light
coloured metal vessels will give more even browing. Dark
ones may cause scorching on the base.
❍ For easy viewing and a more even cooking result bring the
dishes and trays forward to the front of the oven shelf.
❍ For even heat circulation ensure that dishes and trays do not
touch each other or the sides of the oven.
❍ Do not place foil, baking trays, dishes or any other items
directly on the base of the oven.
Note: When oven is operating the glass door will become hot.
