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 an 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' ( ) neon
will also flash.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

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.

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

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.

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.

6. THINGS TO NOTE

· In the event of an interruption of the electricity

supply, the timer will reset itself to zero, and all
programming will be cancelled.

7. AUTOMATIC COOKING

It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as
short a time as possible before automatic
cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared
food is well within its use by date and that home
prepared food is fresh and of good quality.

When cooking is complete, do not leave food to
stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly
if the food is not to be consumed immediately.

Always ensure food in the oven has been
covered before cooking if it is not possible to
remove food immediately after cooking.

11

FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN
SHOULD BE KEPT 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

12.00

· To operate the grill, pop out and turn the second

oven/grill selector for full grill.

· Pop out and turn the second oven/grill function

selector to centre section only.

· Turn the temperature control knob to the right as

far as it will go. This is the hottest setting.

· To use the grill at lower settings, turn the

temperature control knob so that 110°C or 150°C
on the panel lines up with the "0" on the knob.

THINGS TO NOTE

· 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.

· Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

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

the door closed.

12

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLES

The grill pan is supplied with removable handles.

1. To attach the handles, place the wirework

under the cut out in the pan so that the metal
plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.

Ensure the handles are positively located.

1.

2. To remove the handles, lift away from the cut

out on the grill pan.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill.

Protect your hands when removing the grill
pan handles.

Always remove the grill pan handles during
grilling.

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn to attend food during
cooking.
If your model is fitted with telescopic runners in
position 3, the grill pan can be withdrawn on the
shelf.

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.

2.

· 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.

13

· 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
