1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

2 straight shelves for grilling and Second Oven cooking

2 straight shelves for Main Oven cooking

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable). The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes. During this period and odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The oven has a 24 hour clock. When the oven is first switched on at the wall the electronic display will automatically show 12.00, and the 'Time' indicator neon ( ) neon will also flash.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when the oven is in use. It runs on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the initial period the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon does not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and reset following the instructions for the required setting.

POP IN POP OUT CONTROLS

These control knobs can remain flush with the control panel when not in use, or pushed and released to stand out from the panel for easy operation.

FAN SELECTOR BUTTON

The Second Oven enables you to cook with the oven fan in operation or by conventional means. Push in the Fan Selector button for fan assisted cooking. Push the button out for conventional oven cooking. Refer to the appropriate oven section for full instructions.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the door(s) to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance. To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven. Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.

HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD

Care must be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods:-

1. Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you cannot store them straight away. The use of an insulated container when shopping is advisable.

2. When you arrive home, place perishable foods in the refrigerator or freezer immediately. Ensure they are well covered to prevent them drying out and to prevent any possible cross contamination with bacteria from raw to cooked foods.

3. In the kitchen keep work tops, chopping boards and utensils clean with hot soapy water between preparation stages. Ideally, keep one chopping board for raw meat and another for other foods. Keep your dish cloths and tea towels clean.

FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL

WARNING – Accessible parts become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away.

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used, or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.

USING FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL

To operate the grill, pop out and turn the second oven/grill control to the full power setting ( ), then turn down as necessary.

The grill settings are as follows:-

· ( ) Top Heat.

· ( ) Economy Grill (at full power).

· ( ) Full Width Grill (at full power).

THINGS TO NOTE

· The oven light will illuminate.

· The control knob surround will illuminate.

· The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

· We recommend using the grill pan on the shelf in

positions 3 or 5.

· The grill may be used with the door open or with

the door closed.

Ensure the grill pan is properly located.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan has a removable handle. To insert the handle, press the button on the handle

with the thumb and pivot slightly upwards inserting the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.

Ensure the handle is properly located.

To remove the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to remove from the bracket.

Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handle.

Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Most foods should be placed on the grid in the

grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices.

· Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to

allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.

· Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to

minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking.

· Accompaniments such as tomatoes and

mushrooms may be placed around the outer edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats.

· When toasting bread, we suggest that the top

runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position.

· When using the centre section grill, ensure food

is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath the grill element.

· Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes

to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position as necessary during cooking.

· The food should be turned over during cooking

as required

VENTITHERM ® FAN ASSISTED SECOND OVEN

The second oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven and a fan. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet and savoury flans or quiche. The second oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the second oven when you want to warm plates. Use the lowest setting on the second oven temperature control.

USING VENTITHERM ® FAN ASSISTED SECOND OVEN

· Push in the Fan Selector button.

· Push out and turn the second oven/grill

temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

· The oven light will illuminate.

· The Fan Selector neon will illuminate.

· The control knob surround will illuminate.

· The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and

OFF during use to show that the setting is being maintained.

· The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

· The oven fan will operate.

Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.

TO FIT THE SECOND OVEN SHELVES

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so that the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between these two support wires.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Use the second oven when you want to warm

plates. Use the lowest setting on the second oven temperature control.

· You can use both shelves when using the fan

assisted oven.

· There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)

between the top of the food and the grill element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.

· Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf

and there is sufficient room around the baking tray or dish to allow for maximum circulation.

· Where a degree of evenness in baking is

required, it may be necessary to interchange food during cooking.

· Where a larger quantity of food is to be cooked

we recommend you use the main oven.

· Place dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on

the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.

· The material and finish of the baking tray and

dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium of polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.

· Do not use the grill pan as a baking tray as this

will increase base browning of the food.

· Do not place baking trays directly on the oven

base as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position.

· Because of the smaller cooking space and lower

temperatures, shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations in the cooking chart.

· For economy leave the door open for the shortest

possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.

SECOND OVEN CONVENTIONAL COOKING

This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratin’s, lasagne and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. For best results cook on one level.

USING SECOND OVEN CONVENTIONAL COOKING

· Push out the Fan Selector button.

· Push out and turn the second oven/grill

temperature control clockwise to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

· The oven light will illuminate.

· The control knob surround will illuminate.

· The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and

OFF during use to show that the setting is being maintained.

· The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.
