USAGE

Pre-heating your appliance

For best results when baking it is recommended that you preheat

your oven for 30 minutes. Preheat the grill for 3 minutes to

obtain best results. Pre-heating your appliance allows it to

reach the required temperature quickly and efficiently.

With “rapid heat”

For electric multifunction appliances preheat your oven by

selecting the “rapid heat” function. This function allows your

oven to reach the preset temperature quicker than any other

cooking function.

1. Turn the function selector to “rapid heat”.

2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your

oven temperature selector. When the indicator light

above the temperature selector goes out, the oven

has reached the desired temperature. Select the oven

function you require for cooking or baking and place

the food in the oven.

With “bake/pizza”

1. It is recommended you preheat your appliance when

cooking or baking.

2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your

oven temperature selector. When the indicator light

goes out the oven has reached the desired preset

temperature, place your food in the oven, close the

door and set the timer if you desire.

With “fan bake”

1. It is recommended to preheat your appliance when

cooking or baking.

2. Set the desired preheat temperature, by rotating your

oven temperature selector. When the indicator light

goes out the oven has reached the desired preset

temperature, place your food into the oven, close the

door and set the timer if you desire.

With “grill”

Preheat the grill for at least 3 minutes to obtain best results.

This will help to seal the natural juices of steak, chops and

other meats for a better flavour.

Setting temperatures

The following table displays the temperature settings for

recipes which do not show actual temperatures for non fan

modes. for fan-forced modes the temperature should be

reduced by 10°C.

Please refer to the cooking guide to choose the best oven

setting for your recipes.

NOTE: DO NOT line oven with foil, it will damage the enamel.

DO NOT use the base of the oven for cooking – it will

damage the enamel.

Grill

The “grill” directs radiant heat from the powerful upper

element onto the food. You can use the “grill” function for

tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, sausages, fish, cheese

toasties and other quick cooking foods. Grill with the oven

door open for PGR 657 and PGR659 drawer ovens and

closed for Duo ovens. Preheat your grill for 3 minutes to get

the best results. This will help seal in the natural juices of

steak, chops etc. for a better flavour. The grill dish is to be

positioned between the upper pair of support rails.

Grill (split)

The “split grill” works in the same way as a full width grill but

with the added advantage of being able to optimise the energy

usage for smaller servings. Grill with the oven door open.

Fast heat up (POR783 and POR883 models only)

“fast heat” can be selected in the initial heat up phase

of any cooking function. During “fast heat” the heat comes

from the element surrounding the fan as well as the smaller

element above the food. This allows you to preheat your

oven 30% quicker than on standard “bake”. See page 17

for more information.

Function 11

Pyrolytic cleaning

The “Pyrolytic cleaning” function is used for cleaning

the main oven. It cleans by burning off the spatters and

accumulated dirt and grease from the oven liner, at high

temperature. This process produces ash which can be

wiped out of the oven cavity.

Cooling/venting fan

Your built-in appliance is fitted with a cooling fan.

This prevents your kitchen cabinet from overheating and

reduces the condensation inside the oven. It will operate

whenever you are using your oven or grill and will blow

warm air across the top of the oven door.

NOTE: If the oven is still hot from cooking, the cooling fan

will keep running to cool the oven down and will switch off

automatically when cool.

Condensation

excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may

happen when you are cooking large quantities of food

from a cold start. You can minimize condensation by:

• Keeping the amount of water used whilst cooking

to a minimum.

• making sure that the oven door is firmly closed.

• Baking custard in a baking dish that is slightly

smaller than the water container.

• Cooking casseroles with the lid on.

NOTE: If you are using water in cooking, this will turn

to steam and may condense outside your appliance.

This is not a problem or fault with your oven.

Operating your oven temperature selector

A thermostat controls the temperature in your appliance.

The temperature can be selected within the specified range.

To set the temperature, turn the temperature selector in

a clockwise direction to the desired setting. An indicator

light above the temperature selector will come on. When

the temperature is reached, the heating source switches

itself off and the indicator light goes out. When the oven

temperature falls below the desired setting, the heating

source switches on and the indicator light comes on again.

Once the food is cooked, turn the temperature selector

back in an anti-clockwise direction. Do not force it right

round in a clockwise direction as this will result in damage

to the thermostat.

NOTE: For multifunction ovens the desired cooking function

must be selected before the oven will operate. Once the

desired function has been selected, use the temperature

selector to set the required temperature.
