Safety and warnings  
Your Galaxy has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal cooking procedures.  
Please keep the following guidelines in mind when you are using your Galaxy:  
WARNING!  
Hot Surface Hazard  
Accessible parts will become hot when this oven is in use.  
Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use with the door open.  
To avoid burns and scalds keep children away.  
Do not touch hot surfaces inside the oven.  
Use oven mitts or other protection when handling hot surfaces such as oven  
shelves or dishes.  
Take care when opening the oven door.  
Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.  
Do not touch the cooktop components, burners, trivets/pan supports or the  
stainless steel base when hot.  
Before cleaning, turn the burners off and make sure the whole cooktop is cool.  
Failure to do so could result in burns and scalds.  
WARNING!  
Electrical Shock Hazard  
Switch the oven off at the wall before replacing fuses or the oven lamp.  
Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.

Safety and warnings  
Important safety precautions  
Isolating switch: make sure this oven is connected to a circuit which incorporates an isolating  
switch providing full disconnection from the power supply.  
Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.  
Children, or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance, should have a  
responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be satisfied that they can use  
the appliance without danger to themselves or their surroundings.  
Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after  
cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take  
particular care during warmer weather.  
Do not place aluminium foil or dishes with reflective qualities on the oven floor as this will cause  
a heat build-up which will irreversibly damage the enamel.  
Do not stand on the door, or place heavy objects on it.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the outside surfaces of the oven.  
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the oven.  
Do not stand or place heavy objects on this appliance.  
Do not use an asbestos mat or decorative covers between the flame and the saucepan as this may  
cause serious damage to your cooktop.  
Do not place aluminium foil or plastic dishes on the cooktop burners.  
Do not let large saucepans or frying pans overlap the bench as this can deflect heat onto your  
benchtop and damage the surface.  
Do not let large saucepans, frying pans or woks push any other pans aside. This could make them  
unstable or deflect heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface.  
Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning this cooktop.  
Saucepan handles may be hot to touch. Ensure saucepan handles do not overhang other gas  
burners that are on. Keep handles out of reach of children.  
If the electrical supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by an authorised person. Ensure  
that the electrical connection plug is accessible after installation.  
Where this gas cooktop is installed in marine craft or in a caravan, it shall not be used as a space  
heater.  
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in  
which it is installed. Ensure the kitchen is well ventilated. Keep natural ventilation holes open or  
install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).  
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening of  
a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation  
where present.  
Only use the griddle on the fish burner.  
To prevent excessive heat build up in the cooktop area, cooking times on the griddle should be  
limited to 1 hour.  
The barbeque cover (accessory) must not be used as a cooking surface.  
Fat left on the lava rocks or in the tray may ignite. If flame flare-ups become excessive during  
cooking turn down the temperature. The barbeque grid, rock tray and lava rocks should be cleaned  
after every use.

Cooking functions  
Your oven has eight cooking functions. Each function is represented by a symbol on the oven  
control panel.  
ECO GRILL Top inner element  
ECO GRILL  
uses the inner area of the top element and is useful when you need to grill  
single servings or small pieces of food. For best results leave the door open at the first  
stop position.  
GRILL Inner and outer top elements  
GRILL  
uses both of the top elements and is ideal for grilling a large area of food. For  
best results leave the door open at the first stop position. Grilled vegetables are quick to  
cook and full of flavour.  
FAN GRILL Fan plus top elements  
FAN GRILL  
would normally be fried. Large cuts of meat can be cooked using this function with  
results similar to using a rotisserie. Use FAN GRILL for dishes such as lasagne and  
circulates hot air from the top elements and is excellent for food that  
moussaka. Fan-grilled whole chicken is excellent. Fan grill with the oven door closed.  
DEFROST Fan only  
The fan circulates air around the oven, speeding up the defrosting process by  
approximately 30%.  
CLASSIC BAKE Bottom element  
CLASSIC BAKE  
uses heat from the bottom element only. Preheat the oven first on BAKE  
or FAN BAKE  
. Use CLASSIC BAKE for quiches, slices or anything you want  
browner on the bottom than on the top.  
FAN BAKE Fan plus top and bottom elements  
FAN BAKE

Accessories  
Baking tray  
Pizza stone and paddle  
The baking tray is suitable for biscuits and  
baked goods.  
Your pizza stone will allow you to cook  
homemade pizza like those from an  
authentic pizza house, with a crispy base  
and moist toppings.  
Three-piece grill/roast system  
To use, place the pizza stone in the oven on  
a wire shelf in position 7.  
Turn oven to FAN BAKE  
The three-piece grill/roast system (made  
up of the pan, grid and rack) is designed to  
give superior cooking results and to prevent  
hot fat and juices in the pan splattering  
throughout the oven. All pieces can be used  
together as one complete unit, or in different  
combinations.  
and 200 0C or  
the temperature specified in your recipe  
and preheat for 30-45 minutes. The hotter  
the stone, the crisper the pizza crust will  
be. Mix 1-2 Tbsp of flour and 1-2 Tbsp of  
semolina/coarse cornmeal and sprinkle this  
onto the pizza paddle. This will prevent the  
pizza dough from sticking to the paddle  
when you slide the dough from your  
paddle onto the hot stone.  
Glass tray  
The multipurpose glass tray is made  
from toughened glass to withstand high  
temperatures. It is suitable for roasting and  
grilling, and can also be used as a serving  
dish. The rim on the tray makes it easy to  
handle. The glass tray will not distort or  
corrode, and it will not shatter into small  
pieces if knocked.

Grilling  
Your Galaxy oven gives a choice of GRILL  
, ECO GRILL  
or FAN GRILL  
. For many meats  
grilling is considered to be a healthier option than frying. Recently, grilling has also become a  
popular way to cook vegetables.  
Tips for successful grilling  
GRILL and  
ECO GRILL  
Preheat the grill for five minutes before using it.  
You can grill with the oven door open slightly, at the first ‘stop-position, or closed. Grilling may  
be slightly quicker with the oven door open. Closing the door will help to contain cooking  
smells and save energy.  
Place food on the three-piece grill/roast system, and slot it into one of the upper shelf positions  
(see the ‘Grilling chart’ for the most appropriate shelf).  
The higher you place the food, the faster it will cook and brown.  
The higher the temperature, the faster the food will cook and brown, and we recommend you  
grill at high temperatures. However, you can use lower temperatures.  
Grill only on one shelf at a time.  
Use ECO GRILL  
In ECO GRILL  
for smaller portions of food.  
, place the food on the middle of the grill rack in the three-piece grill/roast  
system (where the metal bars are further apart).  
FAN GRILL  
You do not need to preheat the grill.  
Use FAN GRILL  
with the oven door closed. The top elements cycle on and off, and the fan  
circulates the hot air. The thermostat maintains the oven temperature.  
Use FAN GRILL  
for foods you might otherwise pan fry, barbeque or rotisserie, and for larger  
cuts of meat. It’s also good for dishes like lasagne and moussaka.  
Place food on the three-piece grill/roast system, and slot it into one of the middle or lower shelf  
positions (see the ‘Grilling chart’ for the most appropriate shelf).

Baking  
Your Galaxy oven gives you an outstanding choice of baking options (see ‘Cooking functions’).  
Tips for successful baking  
Preheat the oven while you prepare your food – many baked items should not be left long  
before baking.  
Read the recipe and assemble the ingredients on the bench before you start.  
Use baking paper to line cake pans and biscuit trays, to eliminate the need for greasing.  
See the ‘Baking chart’ for suggested times, temperature and shelf positions.  
For best results use the trays supplied with your oven.  
Some foods are best cooked on a particular function (see the ‘Cooking function options’ chart).  
FAN BAKE  
is great for pastry products such as apple pie and anything that takes less than an  
hour to cook.  
When using FAN BAKE  
for a recipe that only gives instructions for BAKE  
you need to lower  
the oven temperature slightly (approximately 5-10 oC) and/or reduce the cooking time a little  
(approximately 10%).  
FAN FORCED  
is the best function for cooking on more than one shelf at a time. Space the  
shelves evenly in the oven so the hot air can circulate freely.  
Bread and rich fruitcakes are best cooked on BAKE  
. If two shelves of baking are cooked on  
this function swap them over towards the end of the cooking time (that is, move the upper tray  
to the lower position and the lower tray to the upper position) so both brown evenly.  
Always place baking pans centrally on the oven shelf. If cooking more than one pan on a shelf,  
space them evenly so the hot air can circulate freely around them. If the pans are large, it may be  
necessary to swap them around towards the end of the cooking time.  
CLASSIC BAKE  
base such as custard tarts, baked cheesecakes and quiches or anything that doesn’t need to be  
browned on top. Preheat the oven on FAN FORCED before switching function to CLASSIC  
BAKE  
uses heat from the bottom element only and is perfect for foods with a pastry  
.
Important!  
Some recipes recommend putting water or ice in the oven with bread dough during baking. The additional  
moisture improves the bread crust. You must place the water or ice in a dish on an oven shelf. Do not put it  
directly onto the oven floor. Placing water, ice, or any dish or tray directly on the oven floor can irreversibly  
damage the enamel.

Roasting  
Your Galaxy oven is equipped to handle a variety of roasts.  
Tips for successful roasting  
When cooking large cuts of meat, times and temperatures are based on 30 minutes per  
500 g/1 lb. Times and temperatures given below are guidelines and small adjustments may be  
necessary.  
Roasting times will be affected by the shape, size and temperature of the meat being roasted.  
Meat with a bone will cook more quickly than a boneless roast.  
Do not add water to your roast, as this steams the meat.  
For perfect results, use a meat probe or a meat thermometer.  
Let all roast meats and poultry stand for 10-15 minutes at the end of cooking before carving.  
This allows the meat fibres to relax. Fewer juices will be lost when it is cut and the meat will be  
juicier and more tender. To keep the meat warm, cover with foil.  
The meat will continue to cook during standing, so allow for this in your calculations (this is  
particularly important if you want a rare or medium rare roast).  
Roasting can be achieved with a range of cooking functions. FAN BAKE  
BAKE and FAN GRILL can all be used for roasting, each giving unique results.  
Meats roasted on FAN GRILL cook and brown in a rotisserie style. Radiant heat sears the  
outside surface while the inside remains tender and juicy. You do not need to preheat the oven  
on FAN GRILL  
BAKE is the traditional function for roasting. Cook one tray at a time.

Before using the cooktop/hob  
Before using your Galaxy cooktop clean it with  
warm soapy water and a soft cloth to remove  
dust. Check that the electricity is switched on  
in order for the electronic ignition to work.  
Choose the cooktop control knob for the  
burner you want to use. Press down and turn  
the knob anti clockwise all the way to the  
HI symbol. Hold down the knob for 5 seconds  
until the burner lights. All the igniters will  
spark until the gas ignites on the selected  
burner. The flame can be adjusted anywhere  
between the HI symbol and the LO symbol.  
Do not regulate the flame between high and the OFF position.  
If the cooktop/hob does not light  
Check that the power is switched on allowing the electronic ignition to work.  
Check that the burner rings are placed correctly.  
Clean electrode tips with a toothbrush and methylated spirits.  
The wok burner may need a moment to stabilise the inner ring of flame.  
Check that you know how the flame failure device works (see below).  
Check the gas supply is turned on.  
 
23  
Galaxy cooktop/hob  
If the burner has not ignited within 15 seconds, stop operating the igniter and wait at least 1  
minute before attempting a further ignition of the burner. In the event of the burner flames  
being accidently extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to re-ignite the  
burner for at least 1 minute.  
Safety features  
Your Galaxy cooktop has a flame failure safety device fitted. A metal probe behind the burner  
generates a small electrical current when a flame is present. After 5 seconds the metal probe  
gets hot enough to hold a valve open and maintain the gas supply. If the flame is blown out  
then the gas to the burner is cut off. To operate the flame failure you need to hold the burner  
knob down for 5 seconds after the burner has ignited. Letting go of the burner knob too soon  
will extinguish the flame.  
Flame failure cooktop models have two probes at the back of the burners, one will be the  
spark electrode and the other is the flame failure probe.  
Cooktop/hob utensils  
To get the best out of your Galaxy cooktop follow these simple suggestions:  
Do not use an asbestos mat between the flame and the saucepan as this may cause serious  
damage to your cooktop.  
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the burners.  
Saucepans should have thick flat bottoms. Food in a saucepan with an uneven bottom will take  
longer to cook. Heavy saucepans may bend the trivets/pan support or deflect the flame. Match  
the bottom of your saucepans with the cooking zone and see that it is stable. This will give you  
the most efficient cooking. Do not let large saucepans or frying pans over lap the bench as this  
can deflect heat onto your benchtop and damage the surface.  
For the simmer (auxiliary) and semi rapid burners pots should be larger than 12cm in diameter.  
The griddle burner may be used with pots 18cm in diameter and above. The wok burner is  
primarily designed for woks but may be used with 17-23cm diameter pots with care. A fish  
kettle on the griddle burner is not only useful for fish, but for steaming long vegetables like cobs  
of corn, asparagus, Chinese broccoli and long beans.

Using the barbeque  
The Galaxy Barbeque provides the extreme heat needed to create the caramelised, juicy  
barbequed flavour achieved on an outdoor barbeque. The Galaxy Barbeque has a full range of  
heat settings from LO to HI. Turn the control knob clockwise to HI to begin cooking. Reduce the  
temperature when you are cooking by turning the control knob anti-clockwise. Preheat the grill  
for at least 10 minutes so that the barbeque grid and lava rocks can reach a suitable cooking  
temperature.  
For initial browning of foods or searing of meat the temperature should be HI, and turned  
down to a lower temperature during the cooking period. Larger pieces of meat may need to be  
cooked at a lower temperature to allow the meat to cook through. During cooking, do not leave  
the Barbeque while it is on. Turn to (Off) at the end of the cooking time.  
Barbeque first use  
Wash the barbeque grid in warm water. Use a scouring pad to remove any residue that might be  
on the grid. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Place the supplied lava rocks in the rock tray, position the  
rock tray on top of the drip pan and place under the element.  
Cooking tips  
To minimise flame flare-ups trim the fat off the edges of steak, chops and poultry.  
Lean mince is best for hamburgers. Steaks are best cooked for a short time on a high heat to  
sear the outside and leave the inside tender. For a more well done steak, sear on HI, then turn  
down to cook through.  
When adding marinades and sauces, reduce the heat and add near the end of cooking.  
Use long handled utensils to turn your meats.

Galaxy cooktop/hob  
Using a griddle  
Cooking with a griddle  
A griddle is ideal for cooking a variety of foods. The surfaces of a cast-iron griddle will become  
more and more non-stick as cooking oils become baked in. This ‘seasoning’ process can be  
started by coating both surfaces of the griddle with cooking oil and baking in the oven at 150 O  
(300 OF) for about an hour.  
C
Heat the griddle for a few minutes before using.  
Brush the food, not the griddle, with oil, to reduce splatter and smoking.  
Cook steak and vegetables at high temperatures on the ribbed side of the griddle. Turn the steak  
only once, about halfway through the cooking time. To test, press the surface of the steak. The  
softer the meat is, the ‘rarer’ or less well done it will be.  
Griddle scones, pancakes, pikelets, polenta and eggs are best cooked slowly at medium to low  
temperatures on the flat side of the griddle.  
Important!  
Prolonged cooking with the griddle at high temperatures may damage the cooktop.  
Cleaning a cast-iron griddle  
Leave the griddle to cool before cleaning. Scrape away any food residue and wash in warm soapy  
water.  
Do not scour to the bare metal when cleaning the griddle or you will remove the non-stick  
coating that has built up during cooking.  
Dry the griddle thoroughly and wipe with a thin coating of cooking oil to prevent rust forming,  
especially when the griddle is new.

Care and cleaning  
Cleaning the outside of the Galaxy  
Important!  
Do not use abrasive cleaners or a steam cleaner on the outside surfaces of the Galaxy oven.  
Before cleaning the outside of your Galaxy oven, we recommend you turn it off at the wall. Wipe  
the outside surfaces often, using warm water and a household detergent and/or a stainless steel  
cleaner and polish.  
Cleaning the inside of the oven  
Important!  
Before you start cleaning inside your oven/s, please:  
Read these cleaning instructions and the ‘Safety and warnings’ section at the start of this guide.  
Turn the Galaxy oven off at the wall.  
Make sure the Galaxy oven is a safe temperature to touch.  
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the inside of the oven/s.  
Do not use any oven cleaners, abrasive cleaners, ammonia-based cleaners or detergents on the  
self-cleaning oven liners. See ‘Caring for the self-cleaning liners.  
It is easier to clean the oven while it is still warm, using household detergents or an ammonia-  
based cleaner. You may use ‘off the shelf’ oven cleaners, if you carefully follow the manufacturers’  
instructions.  
To make cleaning easier, you can remove the wire shelf supports, the oven door, and the fan  
cover. The top element also drops down to make cleaning the oven roof easier.

Care and cleaning  
Removing and replacing the oven lamp  
Always turn the Galaxy off at the wall before touching an oven lamp. To clean the oven more  
easily, pull off the glass cover. If you need to replace the light bulb, simply unscrew it.  
Removing and replacing the shelf supports  
Push the shelf slides in position 7 back into the oven.  
1
2
To remove the shelf supports gently push the retaining wire from underneath the stud then  
swing the lowest edge of the shelf support up and out towards the centre of the oven. The  
prongs at the top will slide out.  
To replace the shelf support, hold them horizontally and locate the prongs into the small slots at  
the top of oven cavity.  
Lower the shelf support and gently place the retaining wire underneath the stud.  
3
4
Important!  
To avoid chipping the enamel – do not lower the shelf supports until the prongs are fully inserted into the  
small slots at the top of the oven.  
Cleaning the shelf slides  
Important!  
Do not wash the shelf slides in the dishwasher. Do not immerse them in soapy water, or use oven cleaner on  
them. Removing the ‘white’ lubricating grease will reduce the life of the shelf slides and prevent them from  
running smoothly.  
Wipe the shelf slides with a damp cloth and a mild detergent only. Do not wipe off or wash away  
the ‘white’ lubricating grease (you can see this when the slides are extended).  
Caring for the self-cleaning liners  
Self-cleaning liners are supplied with some models of the Galaxy oven. They help reduce  
manual oven cleaning. The liners are coated with a special enamel which is porous and contains  
oxidising catalysts.  
Any grease and dirt coming into contact with the liner is absorbed by the enamel and is broken  
down with the help of the oxidising catalysts at normal cooking temperatures.  
As cleaning is improved by using a high temperature, it may be necessary to occasionally run the  
empty oven on FAN GRILL  
at 200 °C for 1 to 11/2 hours.  
 
28  
Care and cleaning  
Cleaning the cooktop/hob  
Use warm soapy water for cleaning when the cooktop is cold. Apply soapy water with a soft  
sponge or cloth. Do not use steel soap pads as these may dull the appearance of your appliance  
over time. Trivets/pan supports can be washed in the dishwasher. Abrasive cleaners may  
damage the stainless steel, trivets/pan supports and the knobs. After cleaning, wipe dry with a  
clean cloth to ensure the surface is thoroughly dry. For extra shine, use a stainless steel polish.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners on any part of the cooktop as these may damage the cooktop.  
The burner and burner caps can be cleaned in hot water, it is important that the holes are kept  
clear. When replacing the burner rings after cleaning, turn the rings until the positioning teeth  
are placed correctly. Be careful of sharp edges at each end of the cooktop/hob.  
Cleaning the barbeque  
Place the barbeque grid in hot water with a small amount of detergent when cool to touch. If  
there is food residue left on the Grid, scrub with a wire barbeque brush to remove it.  
Make sure that the Barbeque Grid is completely dry before replacing.  
The rock tray, lava rocks and drip pan can also be removed and washed to get rid of any build  
up of fat and food. Lift up the element when cool to touch, to remove the rock tray & drip pan.  
Fat that accumulates in the tray lip can be removed by wiping with a paper towel. Clean the lava  
rocks by boiling for 20 minutes in a large container of water and dishwashing detergent. Sun dry  
and replace. The rocks will change colour after use.
