USING THE ELECTRIC ELEVATED COOKER

Ceramic Hotplates

WARNING

If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to

avoid the possibility of electric shock.

• The ceramic cooktop is made from ceramic glass, a

tough, durable material that withstands heating and

cooling without breaking. However, it must be noted

that as it is glass, it may break, and must therefore be

treated with care. Should you have any questions

about the glass in your new appliance, please contact

the service centre by dialling 13 13 49.

• The smooth glass surface has a pattern to show

where the elements under the glass are located.

• When a hotplate is on, the hot surface warning

light will come on. After switching off, this light

will continue to glow until the temperature of the

hotplate drops below 60°C.

• If the ceramic knob is accidentally cracked, switch off

the appliance to avoid electric shock.

Solid hotplates

The strong solid-cast hotplates give wide contact for fast

efficient cooking.

Hotplates are sealed to prevent spilt liquids from running

under the hotplates.

If there is a red dot present in the centre of hotplate,

this indicates it is a high power hotplate.

When necessary, apply a coating of hotplate protector to

solid plates to maintain them.

Electric oven fan forced baking

In a fan forced electric oven the heat comes from the

rear oven element. Hot air is distributed by a fan behind

the rear wall of the compartment, providing an even

temperature on all shelf levels. This means, batches

of food can be baked using multiple shelf positions

simultaneously.

Fan forced operation can be used for single food baking

with equal success.

Fan Forced baking generally requires lower temperatures

than conventional baking. Most recipe books, unless

stated, are typically for conventional oven temperatures.

It is recommended that when using the fan forced mode,

reduce the oven temperature by 10 degrees (refer to

‘Oven Guide’).

For best baking results preheat oven for 30 minutes.

Cookware

For best cooking results with electric ovens, silver or shiny

trays are recommended.

NOTE: Three button timer models MUST have clock set

after a power outage to operate oven.

Your oven is equipped with a 3 button timer that has

the following features:

• Timer – you can set a countdown time that will beep

when the set time has elapsed.

• Cook time

– you can set cooking duration. A timer will

count down the preset cooking time, beep when the time

has elapsed and turn the appliance off

Selecting the timer

• Press the MODE button until the timer ‘indicator’

begins flashing.

• Set the countdown time you want by using the and

buttons. 5 seconds after the last change the timer ‘indicator’

will stop flashing and the countdown will start in minutes.

• To stop the beeper, press any button.

• Maximum countdown time is 2hrs 30mins.

Setting the cooking duration

• Select the desired oven function and temperature.

• The oven indicator light will glow and the heating source

will come on.

• Press the MODE button until the cook time

‘indicator’

begins flashing.

• Set the cooking duration you want by using the

and

buttons. 5 seconds after the last change the cook time

‘indicator’ will stop flashing, and the time of day will

be displayed.

NOTE: Remember to add pre-heating time if necessary.

To check or cancel settings

• To check your settings, press the MODE button until the

indicator you want is flashing.

• To cancel ‘auto shut off’ press the mode button until the

‘cook time’

indicator flashes. Press and hold the

button until the clock no longer reverses (at 0:00 you will

hear a beep). If you have left the temperature and function

knobs at a setting, the oven will start once the ‘cook time’

indicator stops flashing. Because you have cancelled

‘auto off’ the oven will continue to heat until you manually

turn it off.

On completion of cooking

• The heat source will turn off, the timer will beep and cook time

indicator will flash.

• Even though the heating element turns off the oven will still

retain substantial heat. This will continue to cook the food until

it is removed or the oven cools down. If you do not plan on

being present when the oven turns off, you should take this

extra heating time into account.

• Turn the function and temperature controls to the off position.

• Press any button to stop the timer beeping.

Adjusting the clock

• Press the MODE button until the clock ‘indicator’

begins flashing.

• Press the

or buttons to change the time of day.

5 seconds after the last change, the clock ‘indicator’

will disappear, confirming the time has been adjusted.

What is pyrolysis? Verified

Some ovens are equipped with a pyrolysis function. This is a cleaning system that burns dirt and fat in the oven by using very high temperatures. After pyrolysis, all the dirt will have turned to ash and can be easily removed. If the oven has a pyrolysis function, it is advisable to use it 3 to 4 times a year to keep the oven clean.

Can I connect a range to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a range, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the range is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord can handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

When I use the oven there often food remains that fall on the bottom, causing smoke. How can I prevent this? Verified

Many ovens come with both a grid and a baking tray. When food is prepared on the grid, the baking tray can be placed on the bottom to prevent food remains from burning and causing smoke.
