GETTING TO KNOW YOUR OVEN

Getting to know your new oven with this simple

‘Test Cake’

When baking, it is normal to experience some slight

variation in temperature throughout the oven, resulting

in minor differences in colour of the items being baked.

You may need to rotate items whilst cooking to ensure an

even colour.

Simple ‘Test Cake’

125g butter, softened to room temperature

1 cup caster sugar

1 teaspoon pure vanilla essence

4 large eggs

2 cups self-raising flour

Pinch of salt

4 tablespoons (80ml ) full-cream milk

Method:

1. Butter base and sides of two, 20cm straight-sided

round or square cake pans. Then line the base with

grease proof paper or baking paper.

2. Preheat oven to moderate 180ºC (170ºC fan forced)

for 30 minutes and ensure oven shelf is in position 2 of

the oven.

3. Cream softened butter and sugar until light in colour.

4. Add vanilla essence.

5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each

addition.

6. Sift flour and salt into the mixture and beat until

well combined.

7. Add milk and beat or stir to combine.

8. Spoon mixture equally between prepared cake pans.

9. Bake in preheated oven, position 2 for about 25 to 35

minutes. Tip: Insert a fine cake skewer into the cake

mix. If it comes out clean, or if the edges of the cake

have come away slightly from the sides of the cake

pan, the cake is ready.

10. Remove from oven and place on wire cake rack and

rest for 5 minutes before removing from cake pans.

Cool completely.

To Serve: sandwich together with your favourite jam or

conserve, and dust top with pure icing sugar.

NOTE: if desired, substitute butter for either margarine or

olive oil spread.

Recipe is based on the Australian standard metric 250mL

cup and 20ml tablespoon sets.

Using the Conventional Oven

• The shelf position is critical. The temperature in

centre of the oven is the temperature shown on the

oven control knob. Single shelf baking gives optimal

cooking results.

• DO NOT place baking trays, oven dishes or foil

directly on the base of oven, as trapped heat will

crack and craze the floor of the oven liner.

WARNING

CAUTION

DO NOT place baking trays and oven dishes directly

against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven.

DO NOT place oven dishes directly on the oven base.

TIPS & INFORMATION

TIPS AND INFORMATION

Condensation and Steam

• During cooking steam may be produced which

can be released when opening the oven door. This

is quite normal.

• If there is any build-up of condensation on the oven

door it is recommended that it be carefully wiped

away either during or after cooking.

WARNING

WARNING

Always stand back from heated oven when opening oven

door to allow any build-up of steam or heat to release.

WARNING

WARNING

Door glass is a tough and durable material designed

to withstand heating and cooling without breaking.

However it must be remembered that it is glass and may

break, therefore must be treated with care. If you have

any questions about the glass in the oven please contact

the Service Centre on 13 13 49.

GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS

GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS

WARNING

CAUTION

Using the Grill

• Grill with door open.

• Grill dish must be fully inserted.

General Hints

For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.

The material and finish of baking trays and dishes

used will affect the way foods are baked, especially

base browning.

• Enamelware, anodised aluminium, dark bakeware or

non-stick interiors and coloured exteriors will assist in

maintaining or reducing the baking time and increase

base browning.

• Ovenproof glassware or ceramics are poor

conductors of heat. The shiny surface of aluminium

or polished steel utensils and trays also reflects the

heat rather then passing it through to the food

being baked.

• Always place dishes in the centre of the shelf to

ensure even browning.

• Stand casserole dishes on a baking tray to prevent

food from spilling onto the base of the oven.

• Use ovenproof cookware, which will withstand

temperatures of 250°C.

• Use shallow casserole dishes in preference to deeper

ones as this shortens cooking time in the oven.

WARNING

CAUTION

DO NOT place dishes, trays or baking pans directly on

the oven base as they become very hot and will crack

and craze the oven liner.

DO NOT use baking trays larger than 30 x 35cm (12 x 14

inches) as they will restrict the circulation of the heat and

may affect cooking performance of the oven.

Using the Fan Forced Oven

• Make sure shelves are evenly spaced.

• When baking more than one dish in fan forced oven,

place dishes centrally on shelves rather than several

dishes on one shelf.

• When the oven is full you may need to allow a slightly

longer baking time.

• When using different size trays or cooking different

types of food, cooking times may vary for each dish.

Grill Ignition – Electronic

While pressing the electronic ignitor switch, depress the

corresponding knob fully and while continuing to depress

the knob for approximately 5 seconds, turn anti-clockwise

to ‘HI’ position. The flame sensor must warm up in order

for the flame to stay alight.

Grill Ignition – Piezo

Depress the grill control knob fully and while continuing

to depress the knob for approximately 5 seconds, turn

anti-clockwise to ‘HI’ position. The flame sensor must

warm up in order for the flame to stay alight.

Oven Ignition – Electronic

While pressing the Electronic Ignitor Switch, push turn and

hold the Oven Control Knob to the desired temperature.

Hold Control Knob in for 15 seconds after ignition.

Oven Ignition – Piezo

With the left hand push and hold the Oven Control Knob

in and turn it a quarter of the way anti-clockwise. Keep

the oven Control Knob pushed in firmly and at the same

time push the Oven Piezo Ignitor button on the right hand

side of the control panel (several times if necessary). It will

make a loud ‘clack’ noise as the Piezo mechanism creates

a spark. Hold control knob in for 15 seconds after ignition.

WARNING

WARNING

• Keep hands clear of burners when lighting.

• If burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn knob

to ‘Off’ position, allow gas to disperse, then try

lighting again.

• Burners MUST be operated between ‘HIGH’ and

‘LOW’ settings only.
