THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
Your cooker 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
cooker 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 cooker down. It may continue to switch on
and off until the cooker is cool.
Always allow the cooling fan to cool
the cooker 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.
7
BEFORE USING THE COOKER
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 cooker 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
Record the model, product and serial numbers
of your cooker on the back page of this
instruction book for future reference. You can
find these numbers on the rating plate on the
front frame of the cooker upon opening the top
oven door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably
rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the
cooker is given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the
cooker as this may invalidate the guarantee.
PREPARING TO USE YOUR
COOKER
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
cooker 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 cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is
quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the
cooker.
To prevent discolouration occurring, regularly
wipe away condensation and any soilage from
the cooker surfaces.
8
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.
THE TRIVET
When roasting we recommend that you use the
trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will
drain into the meat tin below and can be used
to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.
Note. The meat tin should not be placed on a
heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel
to crack.
9
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker.
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 grill deflector
1 trivet
1 meat tin
2 shelves for main
oven cooking
2 shelves for grilling and
Top 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 sides and
back panel by the oven furniture pack
may occur during transit.
These marks will disappear after the
oven has been used for the first time.
10

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.

Ensure the grill pan is properly
located.
15
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.
16
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.
17
GRILLING CHART
The chart below gives recommended cooking times and shelf positions. Remember that these are a
guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste.
Note
Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.
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
cookers 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 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
.

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.
20
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 cooker 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 OVEN SHELF
There are 5 shelf positions in the Top oven.
Shelf positions are counted from the bottom
upwards.

21
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.

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.
22
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 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.
24
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
cooker 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.
25
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.

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 oven light 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.
27
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.
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.
28
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.
29
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.
Back of the oven
Straight Rods

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 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.
30
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 cooker 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.
31
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.
Single level cooking gives best results. If you
want to cook on more than one level use the
fan or zoned oven functions.
32

38
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
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 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.
39
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.
The cooling fan for the controls may operate
after a time. It may run on after the controls
are switched off until the cooker 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. Foods such as fish, liver and kidneys
may be placed directly onto the trivet in the
grill pan if preferred.
The use of the trivet beneath the grid when
grilling fatty foods will help minimise fat
splashing.
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed below the grid
when grilling meats, or in a separate dish on
a lower shelf.
40
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.

Before cleaning the cooker always
allow the cooling fan for the controls to
cool the cooker down before switching
off the electricity supply.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your
cooker, 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 should also be avoided.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or
scourers on the outside of the cooker as some
of the finishes are painted and damage may
occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel,
oven doors and handles using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little
washing up liquid has been added.
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.
Do not attempt to remove any of the
control knobs from the panel as this
may cause damage and is a safety
hazard.
CLEANING THE OUTER AND
INNER DOOR GLASS PANELS
To prevent damaging or weakening
the door glass panels avoid the use of

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 cooker 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 Centre who will be
pleased to advise further.

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 cooker 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.
45
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 the 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.
Do use the trivet in the roasting tin. During
roasting the fat from the joint will be
contained beneath the trivet and therefore
prevent it from splattering onto the Stayclean
finish.
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.
