Control Panel

Multifunction Main Oven

Your built in appliance comprises of an oven with conventional and fan assisted option and dual grill in the top compartment. The top oven is convenient and economical for mid-week use because of its size. The Multifunction main oven is the larger of the two ovens. It comprises of a number of different cooking functions. The Multifunction oven can be automatically controlled by the electronic timer.

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 grilling or using thermal grill in the top compartment. The cooling fan may come on after a short time when the top or main oven are in use. The cooling fan may cycle on and off when the appliance is in use. This is quite normal.

NOTE

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the ovens have been in use and what temperature. The cooling fan may not operate at low temperatures or where the oven(s) have been used for a short period of time.

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 in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on where the grill or oven has only been used for a short time.

FAN SELECTOR INDICATOR NEON

The Fan Selector neon operates when the Fan Selector button is pushed out. The Selector neon will illuminate with all Top oven functions, except the conventional oven. The oven control surrounds will illuminate and cycle on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained.

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

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The timer must be set to manual operation before the Main 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 11. If the control knob surround does not illuminate when the oven temperature control is turned, 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 oven 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 an 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.

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.

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 grill deflector

1 meat tin

2 shelves for grilling and Top oven cooking

2 shelves for main 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 has been used for the first time.

THE ELECTRONIC TIMER

The electronic timer can indicate the time of day, operate as a minute minder and automatically time the Main oven.

THE DUAL GRILL

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

USES OF THE GRILL

The grill is situated in the Top oven compartment. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill or the centre section only can be used. Use the full grill for cooking larger quantities of food. Use the centre section for economy purposes when cooking smaller quantities.

HOW TO USE THE DUAL

1.Open the Grill / Top Oven door.

2. Push out and turn the grill / top oven control

clockwise past the maximum oven temperature to the settings that control the grill.

3.The first three settings control the full area at

¼, ½ and full power. Set to full power at first then turn down as necessary. The fourth setting is for the centre section of the grill only. This section operates at full power.

The grill door must be left open when grilling.

GRILL

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 control knob surround will illuminate. We recommend using the grill pan on the shelf in positions 3 or 5. If you use the grill pan in position 3 the shelf must be withdrawn before the pan can be located or removed.

5 4 3 2 1

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

Ensure the handle is positively 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 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.

The grill pan grid is reversible. This is useful if you want to cook foods of varying thickness. 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.

THE FAN ASSISTED TOP OVEN

USES OF THE FAN ASSISTED OVEN

The Top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is convenient for mid-week meals where smaller quantities or convenience foods are being cooked. It is important to refer to the Top oven cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions and temperatures as these may differ from previous appliance's you may have used.

HOW TO USE THE FAN

ASSISTED OVEN

1.Push out and turn the Grill / Top oven temperature control clockwise to the required setting.

2.Push out the Fan Selector button.

THINGS TO NOTE

The Fan Selector neon will glow throughout cooking. The control knob surround will illuminate. The top oven indicator neon will illuminate. It will turn on and off during cooking to show that the temperature is being maintained. The cooling fan for the controls will operate after a time. See page 7 for more information on the operation of the cooling fan. The oven light will illuminate.

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

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELVES

There are 5 shelf positions in the Top oven. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected

5 4 3 2 1

HINTS AND TIPS

Use the Top oven when you want to warm plates. Use a setting of 80°C - 100°C on the 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 or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.

For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.

Do not use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking tray as this will increase base browning of the food.

Because of the smaller cooking space and lower temperatures, shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations in the cooking chart.

THE CONVENTIONAL TOP OVEN

USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN

This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable for some cook chilled convenience foods and 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.

HOW TO USE THE

CONVENTIONAL OVEN

1.Push in the Fan Selector button.

2.Push out and turn the Grill / Top oven temperature control clockwise to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

The control knob surround will illuminate. The top oven indicator neon will illuminate. It

will turn on and off during cooking to show that the temperature is being maintained.

The cooling fan for the controls will operate after a short time. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. See page 7 for more details on the operation of the cooling fan.

The oven light will illuminate.

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

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

There are 5 shelf positions in the Top oven. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.

5 4 3 2 1

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected

HINTS AND TIPS

The middle shelf allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position.

The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.

Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning.

Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning easier.

5 4 3 2 1

Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more than one level of cooking use the fan assisted function or main fan oven.

Because of the smaller cooking space and lower temperature, shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations in the cooking chart.

For economy leave the oven door open for the shortest possible time particularly when placing food in a preheated oven.

Where a larger quantity of food is to be cooked we recommend you use the fan assisted or main fan oven.

TOP OVEN COOKING CHART

The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by a further 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.

THERMAL GRILLING IN THE TOP OVEN

USES OF THERMAL GRILLING

Thermal grilling in the Top oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling.

The grill element and the oven fan operate together, circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and turn food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can thermal grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill.

Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratin's can be heated through and browned on the top using the thermal grilling function.

COOKING TIMES

Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook when thermal grilling compared with conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that larger quantities can be cooked at the same time.

A general guide to cooking times is given on page 26 but these times may vary slightly depending on the thickness and quantity of food being cooked.

HOW TO THERMAL GRILL

Always thermal grill with the oven door closed and with the grill pan handle removed.

1.Press out the Fan Selector button.

2. Push out and turn the Top oven / Dual Grill control past the maximum oven setting to the required grill setting.

3.Locate the grill pan on shelf 3 or 5.

4.Remove the handle from the grill pan and close the oven door.

If you use the grill pan in position 3, the shelf must be withdrawn before the pan can be located or removed. Ensure the grill pan is properly located.

THINGS TO NOTE

Shelf position 3 is suitable for most foods. Setting is suitable for most thicker foods

such as chicken quarters and pork chops. Setting is suitable for foods such as bacon.

The control knob surround will illuminate. The top oven indicator neon will illuminate. It

will turn on and off during cooking to show that the temperature is being maintained.

The Selector indicator neon will glow throughout cooking.

The oven fan will operate continually during thermal grilling.

The cooling fan for the controls will come on when the grill control is turned. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. See page 7 for more details on the operation of the cooling fan.

HINTS AND TIPS

Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking.

Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food.

Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed below the grid when grilling meats, or in a separate dish on a lower shelf.

Turn food over during cooking as necessary.

Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc., are piping hot throughout before serving.

Be prepared to make suitable adjustments to the grill setting during cooking to suit individual requirements. It may be necessary to turn down as required. If thermal grilling on more than one level, it may be necessary to interchange the food on the shelves during cooking.

With the exception of toast and rare steak you can thermal grill all foods normally grilled by conventional methods.

TO DEFROST IN THE TOP OVEN

USES OF DEFROST

This function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. It is particularly suitable for defrosting delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc.

HOW TO DEFROST

1.Press out the Fan Selector button.

2.The Dual grill / Top oven control should be in the Off '0' position.

THINGS TO NOTE

The oven fan will operate. The fan selector indicator neon will illuminate. The top oven indicator neon may illuminate. It

may turn on and off during defrosting.

HINTS AND TIPS

Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process.

The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.

It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 2 hours.

A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process.

Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be thawed using the defrost function.

All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed thoroughly before cooking.

DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled.

Care must always be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and cross contamination when defrosting, preparing, cooking cooling and freezing foods. This is particularly important if the main oven is in use or is warm, as the temperature in the Top oven will be higher than room temperature.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN

USES OF THE FAN OVEN

The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are:

PREHEATING

The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature so it not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however you may need to add an extra 5 - 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart on page 33 until you are familiar with the lower temperatures associated with Fan oven cooking. As a guide reduce temperatures by 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

HOW TO USE THE FAN OVEN

1.Push out and turn the Selector to Fan oven.

2.Push out and turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

The oven light will come on when the Selector is set. The oven fan will operate continually during cooking. The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. See page 7 for further details on the operation of the cooling fan. The control surrounds will illuminate. The oven indicator neon will turn on and off during cooking to show that the temperature is being maintained. If an automatic programme has been set, the oven fan and oven light do not come on until the cook time begins.

TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

HINTS AND TIPS

Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards.

When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results.

It is recommended that when baking larger quantities, the shelf positions should be evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight increase in cooking time may be necessary.

The use of excessively high temperatures can cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the recommendations given in the oven cooking chart, on page 33.

THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN

USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN

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 pies, 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.

HOW TO USE THE

CONVENTIONAL OVEN

1.Push out and turn the Selector to Oven.

2.Push out and turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

The control surrounds will illuminate. The oven indicator neon will turn on and off

during cooking to show that the temperature is being maintained.

The internal oven light operates when the Selector is set. If an automatic cooking programme is set, the oven light will come on when the cook time begins.

The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. See page 7 for more details on the operation of the cooling fan.

Conventional

Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as damage will occur.

HINTS AND TIPS

The middle shelf allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position.

Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even browning.

Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning easier.

Single level cooking gives best results. If you want to cook on more than one level use the fan or zoned oven functions.

THERMAL GRILLING IN THE MAIN OVEN

USES OF THERMAL GRILLING

Thermal grilling in the main oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling.

Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. The need to check and turn food is reduced. With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can thermal grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill.

COOKING TIMES

A general guide to cooking times is given on page 41 but these times may vary slightly depending on the thickness and quantity of food being cooked.

HOW TO THERMAL GRILL

Always thermal grill with the oven door closed and with the grill pan handle removed.

1.Push out and turn the Selector to Thermal Grill.

2.Push out and turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. (A temperature of between 140°C and 220°C is suitable for thermal grilling).

3.Remove the handle from the grill pan and close the oven door.

THINGS TO NOTE

The control surrounds will illuminate. The oven indicator neon will illuminate. It may turn on and off during cooking to ensure the temperature is maintained.

The oven fan will operate continually during thermal grilling.

The oven light will come on when the selector is set.

HINTS AND TIPS

Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking.

Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food.

Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed below the grid when grilling meats, or in a separate dish on a lower shelf.

Foods will cook more quickly the closer they are to the grill element and the higher the temperatures selected. Be prepared to adjust temperatures and shelf positions during cooking if necessary.

Turn food over during cooking as necessary.

Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc., are piping hot throughout before serving.

A temperature range of 140°-220°C and shelf positions 9 and 10 are suitable for most foods. Be prepared to make suitable adjustments during cooking to suit individual requirements. If thermal grilling on more than one level, it may be necessary to interchange the food on the shelves during cooking.

2.Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive screwdriver.

3.Holding the door glass securely in place with one hand remove the screws and washers with the other hand.

The screws and washers retain the trim on the top of the grill door. Note the position of the trim on the door.

4.Holding the door and glass with one hand, pull towards you and slightly lift the door glass with the other hand to disengage the panel from the location point at the bottom of the door. Gently release the door to close it.

GLASS

Grill Door Trim

5.Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Hob Brite. Should the inner face of the outer door glass be heavily soiled it is recommended that soapy water with a high concentration of soap is used. To prevent streaking a glass cleaning spray may be applied and the glass polished with a soft cloth. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dry before attempting to replace the outer door glass.

6.DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or

scourers on the outside of the appliance as damage will occur. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.

Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.

To prevent streaking on stainless steel models finish with a soft cloth.

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Please contact your local Service Force Centre who will be pleased to advise further.

TO REPLACE THE OUTER

DOOR GLASS

1.Holding the door glass panel with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door.

2.Holding the door glass with your left hand, use your right hand to open the oven door.

Bring the door gently towards the glass panel ensuring the screw location holes line up.

3. Place the trim in the correct position on the top of the grill door.

4.Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert the cross head screws with washers into the location holes with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure.

5.Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive screwdriver before closing the oven door.

TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR

The inner glass door is not removable. Clean using hot soapy water or Hob Brite and a soft cloth. DO NOT use abrasives as they may damage the glass or seal.

CLEANING THE GRILL/ OVEN

COMPARTMENTS

The oven tops, sides and back panels are coated with a Stayclean finish.

The Stayclean areas in the ovens should not be cleaned manually. See Care of Stayclean Surfaces on page 45.

The oven bases can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.

Do not use any cleaning agents or scrapers on the oven tops, sides, back panels and door seals.

Damage will occur if soap impregnated steel wool pads, aerosol cleaners or any abrasive cleaners are used.

CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES

The roofs and sides of both ovens and the main oven back panel are coated with a Stayclean finish. They should not be cleaned manually.

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with elements or the door seal, as this may cause damage.

During normal use the Stayclean coating will become splashed with fats and food residues. By running the oven without food, the Stayclean surfaces burn off any soilage. Regular use of the oven cleaning cycle will help to keep the panels in good condition. See below.

THE OVEN CLEANING CYCLE

- TOP OVEN

1.Remove oven shelves and bakeware from

oven.

2.Push out the Fan Selector button.

3.Push out and turn the top oven temperature

control to 220°C and allow the oven to run for an hour or so.

THE OVEN CLEANING CYCLE

- MAIN OVEN

1.Remove oven shelves and bakeware from

oven.

2.Push out and turn the Selector to Fan

function ( )

3.Push out and turn the main oven temperature

control to 220°C and allow the oven to run for an hour or so.

THINGS TO NOTE

The Fan Selector neon for the top oven will illuminate.

The control knob surround will illuminate. The oven indicator neon will turn on and off during use.

The Cooling Fan for the controls will operate after a short time. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. See page 7 for more details on the operation of the cooling fan.

HINTS AND TIPS

Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time, but this will not affect their self cleaning properties.

A good time to use the oven cleaning cycle is after the weekly roast. If you do a lot of roasting and very little baking you should follow the cleaning cycle every week. If you roast very little you will only need to follow the cleaning cycle every 2

- 3 weeks. Follow the recommendations below to keep

soilage to a minimum.

COOKING TO REDUCE SOILAGE

Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an increased length of time, you will save energy and often the joint is more tender.

Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase splashing and soilage.

It is not necessary to add water to a meat tin when roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint create excessive splattering during cooking, even at normal temperatures, as well as causing condensation.

Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before the outside is overbrowned.

TO REMOVE THE WIREWORK

RUNNERS

The wirework runners in both ovens can be removed for cleaning.

1.Remove all shelves and furniture from the

oven.

2.Hold the wirework at the bottom, unclip from

the cavity side and gently pull towards the centre of the oven.

3.Support the side panel at the bottom.

4.Unhook the runner and side panel at the top

and remove them from the cavity.

5.To replace, ensure the side panel is

assembled onto the wirework runner before hooking it back into the oven.

CLEANING THE SHELVES,

SIDE PANEL

CAVITY CENTRE

WIREWORK RUNNERS AND OVEN FURNITURE

Soak the oven shelves, wirework runners and grilling grid in hot soapy water if heavily soiled, they will then clean more easily. If the shelves are heavily soiled a soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used. The grill pan and meat tin can be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. All items of grill and oven furniture are dishwasher safe with the exception of the grill pan handle.

THE OVEN LIGHTS

The oven light illuminates the main oven when the Selector is turned to .

The top oven light illuminates when the oven temperature control is turned.

REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT

Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

We recommend you use a new length of

6mm

twin core and earthed cable to ensure

your safety. Make connection as shown in Fig. 12 by

proceeding as follows:Preform wires to the appropriate shape to suit

fitting into the mains terminal block. Strip inner insulation on wires using

wirestrippers. Twist the bared wires using pliers.

Fig. 12

Cut bared wires 10mm away from the end of the inner insulation. Where uninsulated Earth wires are used ensure they are suitably sheathed to leave 10mm bare wire to fit into the terminal.

Clamp bare wires into the relevant terminal and check they are held by tugging each one in turn.

Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of the outer insulation is inside the terminal block and that the wires are not taught but not so slack as to cause any fouling. See Fig. 12.

Connect the remaining end of the mains cable to the cooker point / junction box.

Place fuse / miniature circuit breaker in circuit and switch on at mains.
