TIPS & INFORMATION
Before you cook in your new oven it is important that
the protective oils used in the manufacture of the product
be removed.
• Make sure that the room is well ventilated (to allow
smoke to escape).
• Run the grill on high for 15 minutes with 10mm
of water in the bottom of the grill dish.
• Then run the oven on 180°C for 2 hours.
Checking gas pressures
The cooker MUST be installed in compliance with:
• The Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances
and Equipment – AS 5601/AG 601 – issued by
Standards Australia (Particular reference to sections
