BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

POP IN POP OUT CONTROLS

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' indicator
( ) will also flash.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

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.

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

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
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.

FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL

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

To operate the grill, pop out and turn the second
oven/grill control to the full power setting ( ), then
turn down as necessary.

The grill settings are as follows:-

• ( ) Top Heat.

• ( ) Economy Grill (at full power).

• ( ) Full Width Grill (at full power).

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The control knob surround will illuminate.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

• We recommend using the grill pan on the shelf in

positions 3 or 5.

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

the door closed.

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 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 check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking.

11

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

VENTITHERM ® FAN ASSISTED SECOND OVEN

The second oven is the smaller of the two ovens.
It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the
oven and a fan. 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.
The second oven is also ideal for use as a warming
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot.
Use the second oven when you want to warm plates.
Use the lowest setting on the second oven
temperature control.

USING VENTITHERM ® FAN ASSISTED
SECOND OVEN

• Push in the Fan Selector button.

• Push out and turn the second oven/grill

temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The Fan Selector neon will illuminate.

• The control knob surround will illuminate.

• 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.

• The oven fan will operate.

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

TO FIT THE SECOND OVEN SHELVES

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

13

HINTS AND TIPS

• Use the second oven when you want to warm

plates. Use the lowest setting on the second

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.

• Do not use the grill pan as a baking tray as this

will increase base browning of the food.

• 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 in the cooking chart.

• For economy leave the door open for the shortest

possible time, particularly when placing food into

a pre-heated oven.

14

SECOND OVEN CONVENTIONAL COOKING

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

USING SECOND OVEN CONVENTIONAL
COOKING

• Push out the Fan Selector button.

• Push out and turn the second oven/grill

temperature control clockwise to the required

setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The control knob surround will illuminate.

• 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.

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 SECOND OVEN SHELVES

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

15

HINTS AND TIPS

• Single level cooking gives best results. If you

require more than one level of cooking use the

main fan oven.

• 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.

• 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.

• Stand 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 used will affect the degree of 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 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.

ROTITHERM ROASTING SECOND OVEN

Rotitherm Roasting in the second oven offers an
alternative method of cooking food items normally
associated with conventional grilling.
Rotitherm Roasting 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 Rotitherm Roast all the foods you
would normally cook under a conventional grill.
The lower part of the oven can be used to cook
accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes
and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.
Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie,
lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and
browned on the top using the Rotitherm Roasting
function.

COOKING TIMES

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

USING ROTITHERM ROASTING SECOND
OVEN

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

• Push in the Fan Selector button.

• Pop out and turn the second oven/grill control to

the full power setting ( ), then turn down as
necessary.

The grill settings are as follows:-

• ( ) Top Heat.

• ( ) Economy Grill (at full power).

• ( ) Full Width Grill (at full power).

• Locate the grill pan on shelf 3 or 5.

• Remove the handle from the grill pan and close

the oven door.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The control surrounds will illuminate.

• 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.

• The oven fan will operate.

18

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°C - 220° is suitable

for most foods. Be prepared to make suitable
adjustments during cooking to suit individual
requirements. If rotitherm roasting on more than
one level, it may be necessary to interchange the
food on the shelves during cooking.

FAN CONTROLLED DEFROSTING SECOND OVEN

This second oven 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 delicate
frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream
filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings,
cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc.

USING FAN CONTROLLED DEFROSTING
SECOND OVEN

• Push in the Fan Selector button.

• The second oven/grill temperature control should

be at the Off '0' position.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven fan will operate.

• The cooling fan does not operate.

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.

• Always cook thoroughly immediately after

thawing.

• 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.

20

MAIN OVEN FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL

WARNING – Accessible parts become hot
when the grill is in use. Keep children
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 MAIN OVEN FULL WIDTH DUAL
GRILL

• To operate the grill, pop out and turn the main

oven multifunction selector to full grill.

• Pop out and turn the main oven multifunction

selector to centre section only.

• Turn the main oven 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 to 110°C or 150°C.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The control knob surround will illuminate.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

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.

21

• 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

VENTITHERM ® FAN OPERATED COOKING

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 is
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 preheat the oven first.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the
temperatures recommended in the cooking chart. As
a guide reduce temperatures by 20°C - 25°C for your
own recipes, using a conventional oven.

BATCH BAKING

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

USING VENTITHERM ® FAN OPERATED
COOKING

• Push out and turn the main oven multifunction

selector to Ventitherm ® Fan Operated Cooking.

• Push out and turn the main oven temperature

control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The control surrounds will illuminate.

• 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.

• The oven fan will operate.

• If an automatic programme has been set, the

oven fan and light do not come on until cooking
begins.

23

TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

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 is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so
that the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear.
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each
shelf position has an upper and lower support wire,
ensure the shelf is placed between these two support
wires.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Arrange the shelves in the required positions

before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are
counted from the bottom upwards.

14

1

• 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.

• When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria

sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

24

CONVENTIONAL COOKING

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.

USING CONVENTIONAL COOKING

• Push out and turn the main oven multifunction

selector to Conventional Cooking.

• Push out and turn the main oven temperature

control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The control surrounds will illuminate.

• 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.

• If an automatic programme has been set, the

oven light will not come on until cooking begins.

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

25

HINTS AND TIPS

• Single level cooking gives best results. If you

require more than one level of cooking use the
main fan oven.

• 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.

• 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.

• Stand 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 used will affect the degree of 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.

• 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.

26

ROTITHERM ROASTING MAIN OVEN

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

Rotitherm Roasting 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 Rotitherm Roast all the foods you
would normally cook under a conventional grill.

The lower part of the oven can be used to cook
accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes
and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.

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

COOKING TIMES

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

USING ROTITHERM ROASTING

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

• Push out and turn the main oven multifunction

selector to Rotitherm Roasting.

• 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
Rotitherm Roasting).

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The control surrounds will illuminate.

• 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.

• The oven fan will operate.

32

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,

CARE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan
to cool the appliance down before switching
off at the electricity supply.

CLEANING MATERIALS

Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
and scourers should also be avoided as damage will
occur.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE

Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob

Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, doors and
handles using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To
prevent streaking finish with a soft cloth.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish

must be wiped off immediately.

Do not attempt to remove any of the control
knobs from the panel as this may cause
damage and is a safety hazard.

REMOVING AND REPLACING THE
WIREWORK RUNNERS

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. Unhook the runner at the top and remove from
the cavity.

4. To replace the runners, hook the wirework side
runner into the cavity, slide back and press into
place.

Ensure the wirework runners are firmly in
position before replacing the oven
shelves.

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVENS

The sides and back of the grill/second oven and main
oven compartments are coated with a special
Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned
manually.

The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill
compartment base can be cleaned using normal
oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the
manufacturers instructions are followed and that all
parts are well rinsed afterwards.

Aerosol cleaners must not come into
contact with elements or the door seal as
this may cause damage.

HINTS AND TIPS

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on
Stayclean surfaces.

Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.

It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per
week to ensure continued good performance from the
Stayclean finish.

Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean
surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect
the Stayclean properties in any way.

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.

35

CLEANING THE DOOR(S)

To prevent damaging or weakening the

door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:

• Household detergents and bleaches

• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-

stick saucepans

• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

• Chemical oven pads or aerosols

• Rust removers

• Bath/Sink stain removers

The outer oven door glass panels are removable for
cleaning.

TO REMOVE THE OUTER DOOR GLASS

1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the

two cross head screws on the top of the oven
door.

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, gently

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.

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 thoroughly dry before attempting
to replace the outer door glass.

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.

36

TO REPLACE THE OUTER DOOR GLASS

1. Holding the oven glass 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.

Do not attempt to use the oven without the

glass being in place.

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 SHELVES, WIRE- WORK
RUNNERS AND GRILL/OVEN FURNITURE

All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.

The grill pan, grill pan grid, oven shelves and
wirework runners may be cleaned using a soap
impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot
soapy water will make cleaning easier.

37

REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB

Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply before replacing the bulb.

The second oven requires a 300°C 25 watt small
Edison Screw bulb.
The main oven requires a 300°C 20 watt heat ­resistant halogen bulb. Always use a cloth to take
hold of a halogen light to avoid burning on of fatty
deposits.

1. Make sure the appliance is cool before you

replace a bulb.

2. Open the door and remove the shelves and

wirework runners.

3. Pull the glass bulb cover towards you and then

pull it off. If necessary use a screwdriver to
carefully lever off the cover, taking care not to
damage the oven cavity.

4. (Second Oven) Unscrew the bulb by turning it to
the left.

5. (Main Oven) Gently pull the bulb out.

6. Fit a new bulb and then replace the glass bulb

cover.

7. Refit the wirework runners and replace the oven

shelves.

8. Restore the electricity supply and reset the time of

day.
