GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

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

1 grill pan

2 grill pan handles

1 grill pan grid

1 straight shelf (for grilling and second oven cooking)

3 straight shelves (for main oven cooking)

TELESCOPIC RUNNERS (Where Fitted)

Your appliance may be fitted with telescopic runners in the grill and main oven. To fit the shelf into the telescopic runner,

1. Ensure the telescopic runners are pushed back into the oven cavity before fitting the shelf.

2. Holding the front edge of the shelf with both hands, place the rear shelf forms over the telescopic runners.

3. Slide the shelf into position, lifting slightly at the front so that the shelf locates into the retaining hooks.

To remove, raise the front edge and withdraw the shelf.

FORM

RETAINING HOOK

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

The cooling fan comes on after a short time. 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.

ON/OFF PUSH BUTTON

The oven must be switched on before setting any cooking function or programme. When the on/off button is pressed and held, the cavity symbol will show in the electronic display.

To switch off the oven, you can press and hold the on/off button at any time. Any cooking function or programme will stop, the oven light will switch off and the electronic display will show the time of day only.

OVEN FUNCTION SELECTOR PUSH BUTTONS

Push button to allow you to select the second or main oven cavity. Push button ( ) to allow you to select the cooking function. Each time you push this button a symbol will appear in the display, showing what cooking function has been selected.

OPERATING TIME

The operating time display shows how long the oven has been operating. This display can only be seen if none of the clock functions Countdown ( ), Cook Time ( ) or End Time ( ) are set.

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

2. When you arrive home, place perishable foods in

3. In the kitchen keep work tops, chopping boards

cannot store them straight away. The use of an insulated container when shopping is advisable.

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.

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.

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

the door closed.

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.

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.

• 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.

SECOND OVEN CONVENTIONAL COOKING

The second oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. 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.

USING SECOND OVEN CONVENTIONAL COOKING

• The oven must be switched on before setting any

cooking function or programme.

• Press the Oven Cavity selector until the

second oven cavity is illuminated.

• Press the Function selector until the

Conventional Cooking neon is illuminated.

oven.

• If it is necessary to reach the required

temperature in a shorter time, the Speedcook

Function can be used. See Speedcook Function

section.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

• If an automatic programme has been set, the

light does not come on until cooking begins.

• Some internal noise may be heard during

operation. This is quite normal.

Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays

directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

TO FIT THE SECOND OVEN SHELF

The shelf 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 that the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between these two support wires.

is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so

Each

HINTS AND TIPS

• Arrange the shelf in the required position before

switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are

counted from the bottom upwards.

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

between the top of the food and the 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/dish to allow for maximum circulation.

• Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays on to

prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help

reduce cleaning.

• The material and finish of the baking tray and

dishes used will affect base browning.

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.

• 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 given in the cooking chart.

• For economy leave the door open for the shortest

possible time, particularly when placing food into

a pre-heated oven.

Do not place cookware and cooking pots with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as damage to the glass may occur.
