Safety instructions
For the When installing cooking appliances into kitchen furniture the en-
installer dosed installation instructions must l3e stitctly adhered to.
For the - When you use the oven, the oven doors and cooking
user plates become hot, so please be sure to keep small chil
dren away from the immediate vicinity.
This particuiarly applies when you are grilling.
- Overheated fat and cooking oil may ignite. Prepare foods re
quiring fat or oil (chips) only under constant supervision,
- Do not use the appliance to heat your room.
- Take care when using smail electrical appliances near the
cooker. Connection leads should not come in contact with hot
hobs/cooking zones, or get trapped in the hot oven door.
- Do not line tine oven base with aluminium foil or place any other
cooking utensil on the base, as this will trap heating resulting in
damage to the enamel interior. This would invalidate the war
ranty.
- The vitreous enamel in your oven is very durable. However, vit
reous enamel is adversely affected by fruit acids (rhubard,
lemon, etc.) and tea which will discolour and dull the enamel.
The performance of the oven is not affected. To prevent spill
age of the above coming in contact with the enamel, place the
cooking container on a baking sheet,
- Do not place the grill/meat pan on the cooking plate to
make gravy. The direct heat vwit weaken the pan base result
ing in w^ing and twisting of the pan when next used as a
meat or grill pan.
- Do not use die door as a shelf or resting area for oven
utensils as this may damage the glass and the door
hinges.
- Do not clean the Inside or outside of the glass oven
doors with Ш1У abrasive cleaning agent as this creates
stress on die glass.
- The appliance complies with radio interference suppression
specifications EN 55014 (previously EEC Directive 87/308)
and as appropriate with EN 60555 relating to the Retroactive
Effect of the Wains Supply.

cooking to the outside and on a build-in oven these are vented
through the front of the appliance. If the vapours were vented into
the housing unit they would destroy the furniture,

warm water and washing-up liquid. Then switch the oven on and
select the highest temperature and leave the oven on for at least
one hour with the oven door closed.
During this period there is an unavoidable odour which is not
harmful to health. We recommend that the room is well venti
lated for your convenience.
When the oven has cooled down, clean it with warm water and
washing-up liquid.

Cooking
temperatures
and times
Wipe and weigh the meat. If stuffing is used, weigh the stuffed
joint to caicuiate the cooking time. Place the joint in a suitabie
roasting dish, season with sait and pepper and brush iean joints
with melted fat.
When cooking pies, place the dish on, a baking sheet to avoid
spillage onto the floor of the oven.
The times and temperatures given in the roasting chart provide a
guide only to cooking meat. Some adjustments may be neces
sary, depending on the type of meat to be cooked. Cooking
times have been given for meat which is at room temperature.
Prime cuts can be cooked at higher temperatures than cheaper
cuts that require a longer cooking time to tenderise the meat. A
thick joint will require longer to cook through than a thinner one. A
boned roiled joint will require longer cooking time than one with
the bone left in, as bone is a conductor of heat.
A small joint will require longer cooking, pro rata than a-large one,
Allow an extra 30 minutes for joints up to and including 1.5 kg
(3 lbs).
If the joint is cooked in foil the temperature has to be increased by
10"C. To brown the joint, remove foil for the last 15 minutes or so
of the cooking time.
If cooking from frozen, place joint in a covered container and ex
tend the calculated cooking time by approximately one third. To
brown and crisp meat, remove cover for the last 30 minutes of the
cooking period.

cooking

Please use cooking chart for shelf positions and temperatures as
indicated for conventional cooking.
Ovenware
Never use stainless steel in the oven as it reflects the heat. Meat,
poultry and fish should be cooked in ovenproof dishes or, for
large quantities, in the metal meat pan.
Choose a dish that is just a little larger than the joint itself. This will
contain any fat in a smaller area and reduce splashing. If you wish
to roast potatoes in the same dish, allowance should be made
when selecting the size of dish.
Never place cooking containers on the base of the oven, but on
the wire shelf which should be Inserted onto the fourth or fifth level
from the top, depending on the size of the food to be
cooked.
Prime cuts of meat such as steaks and chops, or fish weighing
less than 1 kg, can be either fried or griiled. Sait iarge pieces
shortiy before griiiing and smail ones just after griiiing.
Turn meat/fish after haif the griiiing time so that both sides are uni
formly browned. Turn thin pieces once - thicker pieces need turn
ing more often.
Turn knob C to 0 and knob E to the highest setting.
Place the wire shelf onto the enamel pan and select a shelf posi
tion, dependent on the thickness of the food you wish to grill.
If the food is cooking too quickly, choose a lower shelf position or
lower the temperature.
If the food is cooking too slowly, choose a higher shelf position or
use a higher temperature.
The oven door is closed during griiiing
There is no need to pre-heat the grill unless you prefer to do
so.
Grili pan and wire shelf can be cleaned more easily if soaked in
water with washing-up liquid after use.
