Kmart Anko 28L Benchtop Oven Questions & Answers

First: this model is unfortunately no longer available for purchase But yes for baking I use both elements, middle position for shelf (and lowest position for deep baking tin provided). Standard recommended temperature for recipe and noting that one can usually only cook at one level at a time. If you fully fill both the shelf and the deep baking tray it seems to overheat and smoke.Currently carefully juggling a full Sunday lunch.

Hi there, that is part of the function settings for the knob, below.

The blank square indicates that no heating elements are on. What elements you choose is made from the center dial with positions being, Off, Top element on, bottom element on, both top and bottom elements on.

My hubby uses both elements

Would you be able to share more information here: external link  or call us on 1800 124 125 so our team can assist further.

We use ours for baking vegetables every night but have never used it for steaming. My husband read the manual and then sort of works out what temperatures to use (as I don't cook anymore), He just works out what he is going to cook and keeps an eye on the oven, to make sure it isn't burning. BTW he is close to 80 years old. He adjusts the temperature to suit.

Thank you so much. At least, I can bake vegetables now. Thanks

Hi Brian, are you looking to purchase this item, or do you already own one?

Yes

It doesn’t have a fan so no.

Hi Pauline, the benchtop oven can be used in a similar fashion to a regular oven. We'd recommend checking the manual here: external link  for any instructions on temperature amendments for baking!

I just wipe it over with a cloth and some mild detergent after each use.

Hi there, thank you for your query! The team via; external link  can help look into product specifics for you. Thank you.

Sorry that you are having these problems - as I don't do the cooking anymore due to a rare disease, my husband does it all, but I guess he has used it by Trial & Error. I often can smell the sweet potato and advice him that it might be on too high a range

My suggestion is to place a oven temperature gauge in the oven and compare the setting one the ovens temp dial against the the gauge you placed into the oven..

Yes they do.

Hi Linda, please contact our team for more information external link .

Linda, I can't see why not as we use it for nearly everything, and it always turns ot fine. Though we havent cooked scones in it, but have done cakes, slices etc.

Hi Linda, I don't see any reason why you couldn't bake scones in that oven.

My husband does most of the cooking now but he just uses our old recipes, and adjust the temperature as stated in most recipe books, If it looks like the food is burning he turns the temperature down, or if it doesn't look to be not cooking enough he turns the oven up. If you just use your cookery books and adjust accordingly. We love our toaster oven, and had a smaller one before this........when i used to cook I would just make the recipes from my book, in other words use your own cookbooks and keep an eye on whatever you are cooking but it mightn't take the same length of time.

Thanks for your advice, irish67, I will do just that. I just hope I don't have too many burnt or undercooked food in the process!! Thanks again.

Sorry but if I was cooking I would just use my normal recipes as I did in the smaller oven that we had prior to this.

Hello Paul. That's what I,'m cooking tonight with NO TEMPERATURE INDICATOR AT THE START :)

Hi Chris, let us know if you need any help with the benchtop oven!

Try looking in the bottom of the cardboard box, my "information book" was concealed in the folded cardboard bottom of the box. Look for a tiny flash of white paper sticking out from the beige cardboard.

Has anyone had success in baking a banana loaf in this oven and if so where did you place the oven tray and what settings did you use. Tks
