DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

Built in electric double oven

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Electronic

Timer

Dual Grill

Top Oven

Fan Oven

Your built in appliance comprises of a conventional oven and dual grill in the top compartment. The top oven is convenient and economical for mid-week use because of its size.

The main fan oven is the larger of the two ovens. It is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The main fan oven can be automatically controlled by the timer.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The timer must be set to manual operation before the fan oven can be operated. This must be done whenever the appliance is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure. For instructions on how to set the timer see page 9.

If the Fan oven indicator neon does not glow when the oven controls are switched on, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.

The Top Oven and the Dual Grill are not controlled by the electronic timer.

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the top cavity 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 ovens with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven 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.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the oven doors 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 occurring, regularly wipe away condensation and any soilage from the appliance surfaces.

6

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. Advice on the effect of different materials and finishes of bakeware is given in ‘Hints and Tips’ in the appropriate oven section.

Note. The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE

CONTROLS

Your appliance has a cooling fan fitted behind the controls to prevent them from overheating.

The cooling fan will come on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when either of the ovens are in use.

The cooling fan may turn on and off when the appliance is in use. This is quite normal.

The cooling fan may run on after the ovens or grill are switched off for a period of time to cool the appliance down. It may continue to switch on and off until the appliance is cool.

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.

NOTE

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the ovens or grill have been used and at what temperature. It may not switch on at all at lower temperature settings nor run on where the grill or oven has only been used for a short time.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens or grill are switched on. In the case of the ovens, the Top and Fan oven neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will turn on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained.

The grill neon does not turn on and off when the grill is in use.

The Fan oven neon does not operate with the Defrost setting.

7

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance.

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

1 meat tin

1 Stayclean Grill

Deflector

1 shelf for grilling and

Top oven cooking

2 shelves for Fan

oven cooking

The grill deflector sits above the grill element and prevents fat splashing onto the grill roof. The deflector may be easily removed for cleaning.

Scuffing of the Stayclean panel/s by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks will disappear after the oven elements have been burnt off for the first time.

HOW TO USE THE DUAL GRILL

1.Open the Grill / Top Oven door.

2.Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or anticlockwise for the centre section only.

3.Ensure the Top Oven control is in the Off position ‘0’.

The grill door must be left open when grilling.

THINGS TO NOTE

•The cooling fan for the controls will operate as soon as the grill control is turned. For more information on the operation of the cooling fan turn to page 7.

•The outer section of the grill element may appear to glow brighter than the inner section. This is quite normal

•The grill indicator neon will glow until the desired power level has been reached. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing the temperature is being maintained.

•You can use the grill pan on the shelf in positions 3 and 5 only.

•If you use the grill pan in position 3 the shelf must be withdrawn before the pan can be located or removed.

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 correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf.

The grill pan must not be located in the shelf runners.

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 grilling grid in the grill pan. This allows maximum circulation of air by raising the food out of fats and juices.

Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is withdrawn.

•Adjust the grid and grill pan runner to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.

13

•The grill pan grid is reversible. This is useful if you want to cook foods of varying thicknesses. As a general rule, bread for toasting should be placed on the grid in the ‘high’ position in the grill pan. Foods such as chicken pieces or chops may be grilled using the grilling grid in the low position.

•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 underneath the grid when grilling meats.

•The food should be turned over during cooking as required.

•The grill door must be left open when grilling. For convenience the grill door can be left ajar.

•Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position as necessary during cooking.
