1. KNOWING YOUR ST GEORGE FREESTANDING OVEN 1.1 Important Points

Thank you for purchasing a St George appliance that we are sure will provide many years of great cooking experiences. If you havent had the pleasure of cooking with St George previously, you may find that it has different features and characteristics to your last appliance. It is essential you read this operation manual thoroughly to fully understand all of the various functions and operations. The aim is to encourage you to experiment with your cooking and take advantage of the features St George offers. The versatility of your new appliance means most foods will cook successfully using alternative functions. The key to achieving results that best suit your personal taste is experimentation. This manual should be retained for future reference. Should ownership of the appliance be transferred, please ensure that the manual is also passed onto the new owner.

1.2 Installation Checks and Warnings In the interests of your safety and the care of your new appliance, please take time to carefully read this manual before installing and using the appliance. In particular your attention is drawn to the following:- Incorrect installation of the appliance as a result of not following the detailed specifications can affect the appliances performance. Ovens incorrectly installed may invalidate the warranty and we strongly recommend that the oven cavity, venting, wiring and gas connection be prepared as described in the specifications. This is critical to appearance, oven performance and safety. For installation details, please refer to Cabinet Installation Instructions. A licensed electrician and licensed gas fitter with relevant qualifications must perform the electrical and gas work when installing or servicing the appliance. The supply cable and fuse rating must be suitable for the appliance. You must never repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the operation manual. For installation details, please refer to Gas Connection Instructions, and Electrical Connection Instructions and Wiring Diagrams. VENTILATION SLOTS AND AIR VENTS MUST NOT BE COVERED OR OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY. DONT USE ALUMINIUM FOIL ON THE BASE OF OVENS The use of aluminium foil on the base of the oven to collect spills and improve cleaning is not recommended. The bottom element of St George ovens is concealed under the base of the oven liner (not exposed). Foil or dishes with reflective qualities must never be placed on the base of the oven during cooking as the concentration of the direct and reflected heat will damage the enamel surface. Damage resulting from such use is not covered under the provisions of the warranty. Refer to Cleaning and Maintenance for care instructions for your new appliance.

Page 6

KNOWING YOUR ST GEORGE ELECTRIC WALL OVEN

INITIAL HEAT UP Some smoke and smell may be noticed during the initial heat up cycle (see Using the Appliance for the First Time). This should quickly dissipate. If abnormal levels of smoke are observed (i.e. it is not food that is burning) have the appliance thoroughly checked.

DONT USE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE FOR LIFTING The grill pan handle provided should only be used to assist in sliding the grill pan in and out of the oven compartments. AT NO TIME MAY IT BE USED FOR LIFTING THE GRILL PAN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PAN IS LADEN WITH FOOD.

DONT USE THE APPLIANCE AS A SPACE HEATER The appliance must never be used for warming or heating the surrounding room or for drying clothes or textiles or other items not specifically recommended in the operation manual. Combustible materials or products must never be placed on or near the appliance.

DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE Children must not be left unsupervised in the area where the appliance is in use. The appliance gets hot during use and retains heat for some time after being turned off. Children must never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THE APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION

OVEN CARE ACIDIC FOODS Certain foods can cause severe corrosion of enamel and metal finishes if the oven surface is not completely cleaned after use. This is particularly so around the joins in the oven liner and the chrome racks and shelves. Examples of these are vinegar, sour milk, citrus fruits, olives, strong salt solutions and fruit juices. Regular inspection will alleviate the likelihood of this type of damage occurring. Some oven cleaners can also have a detrimental effect on vitreous enamel surfaces.

POLYUNSATURATED OILS The excessive use of polyunsaturated oils in cooking can cause deposits of solidified oils on the inside surfaces of the oven and are extremely difficult to remove from glass and enamel finishes. Their use, where possible should be minimised.

AEROSOLS DO NOT SPRAY AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHILE IT IS IN OPERATION. The use of aerosol cans such as insect spray, deodorants, repellents, stove cleaners, hair spray, paint and food preservatives etc., must be avoided in the proximity of your oven, especially near controls or switches. Some aerosols contain chemicals that cause rapid corrosion of metals and enamels. This normally shows in the form of white staining of the vitreous enamel or rusting. Damage of this kind is not covered in the appliance warranty.

OVEN CLEANERS We recommend a non-caustic oven cleaner be used at all times. Any residue of oven cleaner should be thoroughly removed to avoid corrosion of metal finishes.

Page 7

KNOWING YOUR ST GEORGE ELECTRIC WALL OVEN

NEVER use the oven to dry out oven cleaners as they can produce a highly corrosive chemical reaction that will attack the enamel.

NEVER activate any element or burner on the appliance (except oven light) while there is oven cleaner in the oven compartment.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL WHEN USING THE APPLIANCE Loose fitting, hanging or highly flammable garments (such as synthetics) should never be worn while using the appliance.

USE ONLY DRY POT HOLDERS Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth when handling hot cooking utensils.

DONT USE OVEN OR GRILL COMPARTMENTS FOR STORAGE Items, particularly flammable materials, must never be stored in an oven or near surface units.

DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES Fats, oils or other substances will ignite if they become too hot. Fires or flames should be smothered using flame proof material or extinguished using a dry chemical or another suitable fire retardant.

USE AUTOMATIC PROGRAMMED COOKING ONLY IN SUITABLE MODES Automatic programmed cooking is available in the multi-function oven only and suitable only for Defrost, Fan Oven, Normal Oven and Fan Grill modes.

DO NOT USE OVERSIZE COOKWARE OR PLACE COOKWARE OFF-CENTRE OVER BURNERS Oversize cookware will deflect heat towards the cooktop and bench top surfaces. Cookware with large bases, especially if placed off-centre over the burners, may cause deterioration of the cooktop and bench top surfaces. Such damage is not covered under the provisions of the warranty. Follow the illustrations and examples in the Cooktop Cooking instructions.

NEVER USE AN ASBESTOS MAT BETWEEN COOKWARE AND COOKTOP Use of an asbestos mat is both hazardous and will cause damage to the unit.

SELECT AND USE COOKWARE SUITABLE FOR THE CERAMIC COOKTOP (FEC model only) Under certain conditions some enamel, copper based and aluminium saucepans can cause deterioration of the cooktop surface. Stainless steel cookware should not react in this way. Aluminium cookware in particular is not recommended.

ONLY PLACE COOKWARE ON COOKING ZONES, PAN SUPPORTS OR OVEN SHELVES Other surfaces of the appliance, for example trims, are not totally resistant to hard or sharp materials or direct heat and may be damaged by such use.

NOTE: To ensure correct ventilation, freestanding ranges are fitted with thermostatically controlled ventilation fans. The ventilation fan/s will automatically operate and may continue to operate (even with the controls in the off positions) until the temperature falls below the operating limits.

1.3 Features and Benefits

A range of cooking options is combined in your St George freestanding range. St Georges extra large ovens allow you to cook everything from small simple dishes for one, to complete dinners for the whole family. The multi- function modes give you the ability to defrost delicate foods, bake either conventional or fan-forced, as well as conventional grilling or fan grilling for excellent rotisserie style flavour.

The right hand oven (FED only) also offers conventional oven cooking and a variable heat grill. This allows you to cook separate meals, bake entrees or desserts, or grill separately while the multi-function oven cooks a meal.

The control panel features a 24 hour electronic clock which incorporates an independent timer, useful for timing household activities. The electronic oven clock allows manual operation or the ability to program cooking times, giving you the freedom to cook meals to suit your own schedules.

NOTE: Automatic programmed cooking operates in the multi-function oven only.

Cleaning the oven interior is made simple with St Georges high quality vitreous enamel. The doors easily lift off and the in-oven parts are removable. refer to Cleaning and Maintenance for complete care instructions)

If over heating occurs, however unlikely, there are safety systems which shut down the heating elements. The power to the element/s resumes once the oven cools slightly.

USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

2. USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME After installation remove all notification labels (not grill or electrical warning labels), advertising, tape, packaging, etc. A quick diluted wash with Ammonia and water should rinse away any adhesive residue. Eucalyptus oil (small amounts) is also good for removing adhesive residue. Thoroughly rinse cleaned surfaces and wipe them dry using a clean, soft cloth.

Before using the ceramic glass cooktop (FEC model only) clean it thoroughly with a suitable cooktop cleaner (e.g. Hillmark Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner) and rinse with a clean, warm, damp cloth or paper towel. To avoid cooked on cleaner residue, wipe the glass dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.

NOTE: People with sensitivity to cleaning chemicals must take the necessary precautions. St George recommends wearing protective gloves while cleaning the appliance.

NOTE: Unless otherwise noted, the instructions for oven operation apply to the multi-function oven (left hand oven for FED model).

CONTROL PANEL OPERATION

3.6 Mode Switch

This switch selects the mode of cooking you require and may be turned in either direction to give you the following selections:

Light Defrost Normal Oven (conventional oven) Classic Bake Fan Assist Fan Oven High Bake Fan Grill Grill

The Light selection is included to assist when cleaning the oven interior. The oven illumination lamp will remain on at all times on any selection except off. This provides an extra safety precaution to indicate that the oven has been left on.

3.7 Oven Temperature Control

This control allows you to select the temperature to be maintained during cooking. Turn the control clockwise to switch power on and select your required temperature. An indicator light will show when the oven is heating and will cycle on and off as the temperature is maintained. The indicator light will operate this way when any oven mode with temperature control is used (i.e. Fan Oven, Normal Oven and Fan Grill). The control can only be turned anti-clockwise to the off position.

The oven temperature control for the right hand oven (FED Model) operates alone to control oven operation. This control operates identically to the left hand oven temperature control.

3.8 Grill Control

FED Model Grilling in the left hand oven is controlled by setting the Mode switch to Grill. The speed of cooking may be varied by altering the grill pan and rack positions. The separate Grill control on the far right of the control panel is used to select the heat desired for grilling in the right hand oven only. This control may be turned in either direction.

NOTE: For the FED model the right hand oven temperature control overrides the grill control if both controls are on at the same time.

Page 16

CONTROL PANEL OPERATION

3.9 Cooktop Controls

3.9.1 Gas Burner Controls

The cooktop burners are ignited by the in-built electronic ignition controls. The controls must be turned anti- clockwise to operate and can only be turned clockwise to the off position. Alternatively the burner may be ignited manually using matches, cooktop gas lighters or similar devices, being careful not to risk injury or damage.

To operate the controls ensure the burners are correctly assembled and positioned over the gas burner outlets and the pan supports are correctly positioned then:

a) Start the gas flow by pressing down and turning the control knob corresponding to the burner you wish to use. Pressing down on the control knob causes the igniter to spark.

b) Once the flame is established the knob needs to be pressed and held for approximately 3 seconds until the thermocouple holds the gas flow open. The control can then be turned to your prequired setting.

3.10 Warming Control (FED and FE90 Models)

The drawer compartment below the oven (left hand oven only for FED) incorporates a heating element and is perfect for keeping food warm and/or to warm plates and serving dishes. A pilot lamp situated above the Warmer control indicates when the warming element is on. Allow approximately 10 minutes for the warmer compartment to pre-heat prior to placing food in to keep warm. When using the drawer to warm plates and serving dishes these should be placed in the drawer from cold to reduce the risk of breakage. Remember to turn the Warmer control to the OFF position when the compartment is no longer required for warming.

NOTE: When not in use the drawers may be used to store cookware and utensils. Items which may deteriorate in storage or with unintentional use of the warming element must never be placed in the compartment.

Page 17

CONTROL PANEL OPERATION

3.11 BBQ Grill Controls (FED model only)

The electric BBQ grill has individual controls for the front and rear grill zones to select the heat desired for cooking. The controls may be turned in either direction. The indicator lights above the controls glow when the corresponding element zone is operating.

3.12 Roast Probe Operation

WARNING: This mode of cooking is suitable only for Normal Oven, Classic Bake, Fan Assist, Fan Oven or High Bake modes. Use of the probe sensor in either Grill or Fan Grill modes will damage the probe.

The roast probe operation shares the same digit display as does the timer functions and operates only in the main oven. The roast probe must be plugged into its socket within the oven compartment to display the current temperature of the roast probe sensor in the left-hand pair of digits. The Roast Probe Set Temperature (RPST) will be displayed in the right hand pair of digits and can be adjusted by pressing the or buttons.

NOTE: The RPST can be set between 0C and 99C, however, it is not recommended to set the RPST above 85C as this gives inconsistent results and may result in the burning of food.

Once the temperature of the roast probes sensor reaches or exceeds the RPST the oven will automatically turn off and the alarm will sound. The alarm can be cancelled by pressing any of the 4 left-hand buttons. If not manually cancelled the alarm will self cancel after a few minutes. To cancel the roast probe function, remove the roast probe from its socket.

For complete details refer to Roast Probe Cooking.

NOTE: Whenever the roast probe is plugged in, the RPST is re-set to 80C.

The time is not displayed when the roast probe is plugged in. If the roast probe is disconnected the display reverts back to the time of day.

Automatic programmed cooking can be used with the roast probe.

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS

4. COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 Roasting Hints and General Guide

When roasting or baking, position food near the centre of the oven. This will vary on the size of the food to be cooked or if other foods are to be cooked at the same time. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on, for example, the size and thickness of meat or the presence of bone or stuffing.

The temperature for roasting meats and poultry will usually range between 170C and 200C. These cooking temperatures will normally prevent excessive shrinkage and moisture loss. An exception is roast pork which is placed in a hot oven (around 220C to 230C) for the first 15-25 minutes to obtain a crisp crackling, after which the temperature is reduced to 180C to 200C for the remaining cooking time. Of course, these temperatures and times will vary according to your own personal taste.

Bake meat and vegetables in baking dishes that allow the heat to circulate evenly and brown the food to your own taste. When cooking more than one dish of food at the same time place cooking utensils so that they do not touch each other or the sides of the oven. To allow free circulation of heat, do not arrange pans directly above each other, stagger their positions if possible.

When using the oven to bake a complete meal at one time, for example meat, vegetables and dessert, place the meat in the lower part of the oven and place the vegetables and dessert above. Note that the cooking times and temperatures when cooking this way should be similar for each of the dishes. The oven temperature may also need to be increased slightly to account for the larger volume of food being cooked. Please note that not all types of food are suitable for cooking together. (e.g. some desserts are not suitable to be cooked with meat)

Make use of retained heat whenever possible. For example, after baking a dinner there should be sufficient retained heat to dry herbs, bread crumbs and biscuits or fruit.

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS

4.2 Preheating

Preheating the oven is not essential, but you will achieve better results if you do. Some foods, particularly cakes and pastry, are better cooked in a preheated oven. Other foods, for example casseroles, cook just as well when cooked in a non-preheated oven but may need longer cooking times.

To preheat the main oven:

1. Select the mode required for preheating.

2. Set the oven to the desired temperature.

For your convenience use Fan Oven or High Bake modes for fast, efficient preheating of the main oven.

Please note that any food or other cooking utensils placed in the oven during preheating will affect the preheating time. The preheat time may also vary with installations.

WARNING: When using an alternative cooking mode for faster preheat, be sure to turn the cooking mode to your required setting before placing food in the oven.

HINT: To allow for heat loss while placing food into the oven, preheat the oven 10-20C higher and then reduce the temperature to your required cooking temperature. Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same time.

To preheat the right hand oven (FED model only) Turn the right hand oven temperature control to your desired setting. The oven will preheat to 180C in 25-30 minutes.

Normal Oven 25-30

Fan Oven 15-20

High Bake 8-12

Page 22

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS

4.3 Defrost

The Defrost mode offers a clean and healthy means to defrost frozen food. Food left in the open is exposed to contamination by pets and insects. With the Defrost setting, food placed in the oven defrosts without heat, reducing the likelihood of growing bacteria. The circulation of air in the oven achieves effective thawing. The oven does not provide any heat on this setting which prevents food extremities from over-thawing, or even cooking, like they tend to do in a microwave.

All foods may be defrosted using this method but it is especially good for meat and fish fillets and delicate frozen foods such as cream cheesecakes or cakes with cream filling, icing or frosting. The time taken to defrost foods will vary, depending on the volume and weight of the food. As a general guide the defrosting time for meat should be approximately 15-20 minutes per kg.

Using Defrost Mode

1. Adjust oven shelves to correct position (this mode is most effective when food is placed near the centre of the oven).

2. Select Defrost on the mode switch.

3. When defrosting is complete, turn the oven off.

NOTE: A temperature cannot be set when Defrost mode is selected.

To prevent spoilage of food, do not use Defrost for longer than necessary (periodically check food during defrosting). If food is not to be cooked immediately when defrosting is complete, remove the food from the oven and place into a refrigerator until needed.

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS

4.4 Fan Oven

In this mode the oven fan circulates heat from an element concealed behind the fan cover to give more even temperature throughout the oven. When cooking more than one tray of food on multiple shelves the even heat provides similar cooking results throughout each portion of food. Temperatures for cooking foods in this oven mode are generally the same as required by a conventional oven, however, when cooking foods that require lengthy cooking cycles a fan forced oven normally cooks more quickly, saving both time and energy (e.g. rich fruit cakes and large roasts).

Always place the food as near to the centre of the oven as possible. If cooking on more than one level, stagger the positioning to allow for as much free circulation of heat within the oven as possible.

Using Fan Oven Mode

1. Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.

2. Select Fan Oven on mode switch.

3. Set the oven to the desired temperature.

4. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.

HINT: Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same time. Depending on the food, you may need to rearrange the tray positions during cooking.

After cooking is complete the oven will retain heat for a period of time after being turned off. The retained heat can be used to dry foods or to keep food warm prior to serving. Examples of foods that may be dried are breadcrumbs, herbs or fruit. To prevent heat loss when using the oven in this way do not leave the oven door open or open the door too often. Also remember to remove food from the oven to prevent spoilage.

Page 24

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS

4.5 Normal Oven

In this mode the outside ring of the top oven element and a concealed element under the oven compartment provides the oven heat. Normal Oven is most suitable when cooking on one rack only. For best results, arrange the shelves so the top of the food is near the centre of the oven. This is usually the second or third shelf position from the bottom. If cooking on more than one shelf, always preheat the oven and stagger the positions of baking trays to allow free circulation of heat within the oven. Depending on the food, you may need to rearrange tray positions during cooking.

Using Normal Oven Mode

1. Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.

2. Select Normal Oven on mode switch.

3. Set the oven to the desired temperature.

4. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.

HINT: If water is used in your cooking (such as water placed in a baking dish) the water evaporating during cooking may cause condensation to escape and run down the front of your appliance. This should not cause any problem to your appliance, however it is advisable to wipe away the condensation from the exterior of the oven with a very warm damp cloth during cooking. The level of condensation will be reduced when cooking in Fan Oven mode where excess moisture is circulated and evaporates during the cooking cycle.

NOTE: Always stand clear of the oven when opening the oven door/s as built up steam may escape rapidly.

Page 25

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS

4.6 Classic Bake

On the Classic Bake selection, heat is provided only by the concealed element under the oven compartment. This mode is ideal where food must have a well-cooked base or where minimal browning is desired.

Using Classic Bake Mode

1. Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.

2. Select Classic Bake on mode switch.

3. Set the oven to the desired temperature.

4. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.

4.7 Fan Assist

In Fan Assist mode, heat is provided by the outside ring of the top oven element and the concealed element under the oven compartment in conjunction with the oven fan. Fan Assist is versatile in batch cooking (where even temperature is essential), where one dish must have a well-cooked base and another must be well browned.

Using Fan Assist Mode

1. Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.

2. Select Fan Assist on mode switch.

3. Set the oven to the desired temperature.

4. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.

HINT: Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same time.

Page 26

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS

4.8 High Bake

The High Bake mode uses the concealed elements behind the fan cover and under the oven in combination. With the addition of the forced convection of the oven fan, quick and consistent heat is evenly distributed throughout the oven. High Bake has the advantage of excellent cooking results for pastry foods such as hors doeuvres and especially Pizza.

The results are quick, not unlike a microwave oven. With the circulation of heat, foods cooked with High Bake mode retain a crisp, dry texture on the outside. Especially Pizza, pastry and other foods where you want the base to be well cooked. High Bake is also excellent for re-heating.

Using High Bake Mode

1. Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.

2. Select High Bake on mode switch.

3. Set the oven to the desired temperature.

4. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.

Page 27

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS

4.9 Fan Grill

Fan grilling is a combination of direct heat and circulated hot air which gives the appearance and flavour similar to rotisserie cooking a crunchy exterior with succulent meat which is ideal for single level roasts. In this mode the direct infrared heat from the grill element is also circulated by the fan to cook the food. Note that the food should be positioned as near to the centre of the oven as possible.

With the added benefit of the circulated air, more even cooking can be achieved giving excellent results. The Fan Grill mode has been developed to replace grilling with the door open and has the following advantages over conventional grilling:

1. Food is generally more moist. 2. Improved rotisserie style flavour. 3. Most cooking fumes from grilling pass through the oven vent. 4. Reduced spatter when cooking fatty meats.

For even browning, St George recommends turning food once only.

Using Fan Grill Mode

1. OVEN DOOR MUST BE CLOSED IN Fan Grill MODE 2. Place food on grill rack and pan supplied (ensure grill rack is inverted to the high position to allow best circulation of air). 3. Place grill pan on shelf carrier so that the food is positioned as close as possible to the centre of the oven. 4. Select Fan Grill on mode switch. 5. Set the oven to the desired temperature. (see Note below and refer to Fan Grill Temperature Guide) 6. When cooking is complete turn the mode switch and thermostat off.

NOTE: Large grill pans or roasting dishes can restrict the circulation of air in the oven. To prevent moisture condensing in the cooler lower sections of the oven, preheat the oven for approximately 10 minutes using Normal Oven or High Bake modes prior to fan grilling.

NOTE: The temperature setting in Fan Grill mode must not exceed 200C (390F).

The grill element has a safety shutdown at approximately 200C (390F). Once the temperature in the oven has reached this limit the element will be switched off. The element will switch back on once the oven cools slightly.

WARNING: The grill pan handle provided should only be used to assist in sliding the grill pan in and out of the oven compartments. AT NO TIME MAY IT BE USED FOR LIFTING THE GRILL PAN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE PAN IS LADEN WITH FOOD.

COOKING MODES AND INSTRUCTIONS

4.14 Cooktop Cooking

To achieve the best possible cooking results, the following points are recommended:-

* Make sure that both the cooktop surface and the bottom of your cookware is clean and dry before cooking. Clean and dry surfaces will help prevent scratches and stains on your cooktop and cookware.

* Use good quality saucepans with thick ground bases (preferably 5 mm thick) that effectively cover the heating area. Pans which have smooth, slightly concave or flat bases when cold will expand and become flat when hot. Thin, warped, dented or ridged bases can cause irregular heat distribution resulting in uneven heating of food. Quality stainless steel pans are recommended.

* The size of the pan should closely match the size of the cooking zone to be used - not much wider or narrower. If the diameter of the base of the cookware is much smaller than the diameter of the cooking zone, you will waste energy and increase the risk of burning spills. If the cookware is too large for the burner boiling times will be delayed.

* Use a set of twin or triple saucepans or saucepans with dividers when individually cooking several vegetables at the same time using only one burner.

* When steaming, use saucepans with close fitting lids.

* When cooking food such as cut vegetables or fruit, cut the food into pieces of uniform size to obtain even cooking.

* When cooking vegetables use a minimum amount of hot water to obtain a crisp texture and prevent over cooking. The quantity of water will depend on the type, quantity and quality of the vegetables being cooked. With the exception of frying, etc., always cook with the lid on the saucepan at the correct heat level to prevent boilovers.

WARNING: Oversize cookware will deflect heat towards the cooktop and bench top surfaces. Cookware with large bases, especially if placed off-centre over the burners, may cause deterioration of the cooktop and bench top surfaces. Such damage is not covered under the provisions of the warranty.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Proper cleaning and maintenance of your appliance will provide you with years of pleasant use. To maintain the appearance and durability of your appliance we encourage you to read and follow the instructions, hints and warnings included throughout this manual. Care must always be taken to prevent scratches on your appliance from hard or sharp objects.

NOTE: People with sensitivity to cleaning chemicals must take the necessary precautions. St George recommends wearing protective gloves while cleaning the appliance. Routine cleaning of the appliance should only be performed when the appliance is at room temperature.

DO NOT USE ANY ACIDIC OR CAUSTIC CLEANERS, ABRASIVE POWDERS OR SCOURERS ON THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE APPLIANCE. Substances or items with these properties may discolour or damage the finishes of your appliance. If any abrasive, acidic or caustic substance or cleaning agent should come into contact with the appliance, rinse off immediately with water, taking special care to avoid injury if surfaces are hot.

5.1 Recommended Cleaners

Mild detergents and warm water together with a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth achieve good results for normal cleaning.

Diluted washes with Ammonia and water should rinse away any adhesive residue or gummy deposits on the appliance surfaces. Eucalyptus oil (small amounts) is also good for removing adhesive residue. Alcohol based products (e.g. Methylated Spirit, etc.) are not recommended.

Brand name cream cleansers and concentrates, without abrasive qualities, can be used in small amounts to break down greasy deposits and dirt.

After cleaning make sure cleaned surfaces are thoroughly rinsed to prevent any risk of baked on cleaner residues and wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.

NOTE: When cleaning stainless steel surfaces St George recommend 3M brand or Advance (by Cleaveland Cleaning Supplies) stainless steel cleaner. Other reputable brand cleaners specifically formulated for cleaning stainless steel may also be acceptable. Do not use steel soap pads or abrasive scourers of any kind. The abrasive qualities of these pads will ruin the even brushed finish of the stainless steel and any residual metal fibres may corrode causing a rusty/dull appearance. Metal polishes with abrasive qualities are also not recommended.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

5.2 Routine Cleaning If possible, the oven and/or cooktop should be wiped down after each use to prevent dirt and grease build up. Ensure all controls are off and the appliance is cool before cleaning. To clean the exterior, wipe the control panel, handles, glass, stainless steel and enamel surfaces regularly using a warm, damp, non-abrasive cloth. Mild detergents may be safely used on all of these surfaces. When wiping stainless steel surfaces which have a brushed finish, wipe in the same direction as the brushing. The pan supports (all models except FEC) easily lift off and are dishwasher safe. Cleaning the oven is made simple with St Georges high quality vitreous enamel. To clean the oven interior remove the door/s (see Removing Oven Door) for better access while cleaning. The shelves and shelf guides can be lifted out for cleaning by removing the relevant thumb screws. The shelves and shelf guides can be washed by hand or by dishwasher. The fan cover can be lifted out for cleaning separately by removing the fasteners retaining it in place. The fan blade can also be removed for cleaning if necessary. Note that the fan blade nut has a left handed thread. Wipe out the compartment/s with a warm, damp, non-abrasive cloth. Mild detergents may be safely used on the oven interiors. Do not forget the inside top and back of the oven/s and the back of the oven door/s. If using commercial oven cleaners, choose only non-caustic cleaners and follow the manufacturers instructions. Avoid contact with elements, rubber door seals and exterior surfaces. After cleaning make sure all surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and then wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Page 41

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

5.3 Spills, Spatters and Accidents

When using the appliance, it may be soiled by food spills and spatters or foreign items such as plastics accidentally coming into contact with warm or hot surfaces. Some foods, such as fruit juices (especially citrus juices like lemon juice) and vinegars (i.e. acidic substances) or sugar or foods containing sugar can discolour or damage enamel finishes.

The enamel interior of your St George appliance has a hard durable finish which is resistant to wear and discoloration. However, to maintain the appearance and durability of the finish any spills must be wiped off immediately. This should be done as soon as possible and necessary precautions must be taken to avoid injury from hot surfaces. Once cool the affected area should be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed using non-abrasive, mild cleaning detergents and water.

WARNING: USE OF ALUMINIUM FOIL IN OVENS The use of aluminium foil on the base of the oven to avoid spillage and improve cleaning is not recommended. The bottom element of St George ovens is concealed under the base of the oven liner (not exposed). Foil or dishes with reflective qualities must never be placed on the base of the oven during cooking as the concentration of the direct and reflected heat will damage the enamel surface. Damage resulting from such use is not covered under the provisions of the warranty.

NOTE: To fully preserve the enamelled finish of the grill pan supplied with your appliance, make sure that it is properly lined (e.g. with aluminium foil) when used for grilling or baking fish and other foods with high acid content such as fatty meats and fruits.

Page 42

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

5.4 Cleaning the BBQ Grill (FED Model)

The BBQ grill plates, element, volcanic rocks and smokeless grill tray are removable for cleaning. The grill plates and tray are dishwasher safe and the fixed grill box (in the unit) can be easily wiped clean.

WARNING: Built up cooking fats in the unit may ignite during use. To avoid the build up of cooking fats the BBQ unit must be regularly cleaned. Volcanic rocks are absorbent and may entrap cooking fats within the rock pores. When cleaning the unit, the rocks should be removed and cleaned by soaking in warm soapy water and then thoroughly rinsed with hot water. The best way to avoid fat build up in addition to cleaning is to periodically replace the BBQ rocks. With normal usage it is recommended that the rocks be replaced every six months. The rocks may need to be replaced at different intervals depending on the units usage.

5.5 Removing Oven Door (downward opening door models only)

The oven door can be easily removed for better access while cleaning. To remove the oven door:

1. Open the door fully and pull the clips toward you onto the hooks.

2. Raise the door slightly and, holding the sides of the door about half way up and making sure the clips stay on the hooks, lift the door gently. This should disconnect the hinges from the oven frame.

3. Remove the door by continuing to raise it while pulling the door away from the oven. When handling the door be careful not to dislodge the clips off the hooks. If so the hinge will have to be closed by hand and the clip re engaged onto the hook before re-fitting onto the oven.

To re-fit the oven door:-

1. Holding the door at an angle to the oven, slide the hinges into the oven frame, making sure that on each side the top, curved arm fits into the top slot and the lower arm fits into the bottom slot.

2. Make sure the hinges are pushed in as far as they will go and the lower arm engages into the plate mounted in the oven frame.

3. Open the door completely and disengage the clips from the hooks. You may need to push the clips down with your finger if they do not fall away from the hooks by themselves. The door can now be opened and closed as normal.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

5.6 Self Clean Oven Liners

An Optional Self Clean Oven Liner Kit is available as an accessory which,when fitted into the oven, catalyses cooking fats which come into contact with their surfaces during oven operation.The fats burn and flake to the oven floor so a quick brush out when the oven is cool is all thats required. The non-liner surfaces in the oven can then be wiped down for brilliantly simple results. For extra cleaning action, heat the empty oven at 230C for 15 to 20 minutes.

Be very careful not to scratch the surfaces of the liners. Large spills should be removed by sponging the liners using warm water and a soft sponge. If large areas of the catalytic coated liners are covered with cooking fats the self cleaning action may not be as effective. The catalytic liners can be cleaned by removing them from the oven and rinsing with clear hot water only. Cleansing agents or oven cleaners must never be used on the self-clean liners.

5.7 Changing the Light Globe

The oven illumination lamp/s are located in the side wall/s of the oven compartment/s. The light globe is located behind the glass cover and is a screw-in type.

Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

To change a light globe:-

1. Gently lever out the glass cover from the rear edge.

2. Unscrew the light globe and screw in a replacement globe.

3. Replace the glass cover making sure it fits correctly into place.

6.5 Securing the Oven

For FECOMBI and FECOMBIWOK models an anti-tilt bracket is supplied which must be secured to the floor in a position which allows the rear feet of the appliance to locate into the bracket slots when the unit is pushed back into the installed position.

For gas appliances, the final gas connection shall be made using a flexible hose or annealed copper tubing of sufficient length to permit the insertion and removal of the appliance. For gas appliances connected using flexible hose, a resticking chain must be attached to the anchor point adjacent to the connection to limit movement to 80% of the hose length. Hose to be type A, 65C rated with 1/2 BSP connections.

For appliances fitted with flexible electrical lead and plug, the general purpose outlet and switch must not be installed within the appliance recess and must be readily accessible without having to remove the appliance.

Move the appliance into position in front of the opening and ensure rear edge of the appliance is parallel to the front fascia of the enclosure. Slide the appliance far enough into the cavity to be able to make the final gas and electrical connections ensuring the gas and electricity are turned off. After all connections have been made, slide the unit back fully into the recess and secure as necessary.

NOTE: The height of the unit can be altered, if necessary, by adjusting the feet before sliding into the recess.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

7. GAS CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS 7.1 Gas Supply Connection WARNING: This appliance must be installed according to the installation requirements of the local gas authority

and the appropriate installation code issued (within Australia) by the A.L.P.G.A and A.G.A (reference code AG601) and the building authorities requirements and any other applicable requirements.

1. Check the gas type of the appliance which is identified by a sticker attached to the appliance. 2. Ensure the location of the gas sup-ply and routing of the gas line is appropriate for the appliance (see installation

diagrams for gas connection location details). 3. A manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line, in an accessible position external to the appliance,

such that the gas supply to the appliance can be shut off in the event of an emergency or for servicing without having to remove the appliance.

4. For LPG models, the gas supply for the appliance must be regulated to a pressure of 2.75 kPa (11 W.G.). The gas inlet is fitted with an adapter incorporating a pressure test point and has a 1/2 female BSP thread. For Natural Gas models, the gas supply is connected to the regulator supplied with the appliance which has a 1/2 female BSP thread. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE REGULATOR ON THE APPLIANCE BE HELD FIRMLY WITH A SPANNER WHEN CONNECTING THE SUPPLY. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. THE REGULATOR MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO APPLIANCE OR THE GAS SUPPLY WITHOUT THREAD SEALANT/LUBRICATION AS DRY CONNECTION MAY PERMANENTLY BIND THREADS. The regulated pressure for Natural Gas is 1.0 kPa (4 W.G.).

5. After installing the gas supply and making all connections, the supply line connections must be checked for possible leaks. With all controls of the appliance in the off position, open the gas supply valve and using a soap and water solution check each gas connection one at a time by brushing the solution over the connection. The formation of bubbles indicates a leak. Tighten the fitting and recheck for leaks. If it is not possible to correct the leak by tightening, replace the fitting. Matches or lighters must never be used to check for leaks.

6. Turn on each burner control and light in turn. Check for a clear blue flame without excessive yellow tipping. If burners show any abnormal combustion check they are correctly located. Sometimes burners may not ignite immediately and may seem to blow slightly when they do ignite. This is usually due to air in the gas line, which should clear itself.

7. If, after following the instructions, satisfactory performance cannot be obtained, contact the local gas authority for advice and assistance.

8. For minor adjustments see Servicing and Minor Adjustments. 9. A two (2) yearly inspection of the appliance by an authorised service agent will ensure many years of trouble free

service (Note: This is not provided under warranty).
