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.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE OVENS

We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15 minutes at 220 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.

C to burn off any residue from

COOKWARE

Baking trays, oven 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 SHELF POSITIONS

Recommended shelf positions have been shown in the cooking chart on page 27.

If not fitted correctly the shelf will lie at an angle and the safety stop will not be effected. To ensure that the shelf has the correct side uppermost, the wire stringers which make up the shelf should lie on top of the surrounding frame.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The timer must be set to manual before the ovens can be operated. See page 31. This must be done whenever the appliance is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure.

If the oven indicator neons do not glow when the controls are switched on, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.

ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the oven door 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.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when either of the ovens are in use and switches off when cooking is completed.

During the initial period the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

It may run on after the ovens or grill are switched off to keep the controls 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.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance. If you require replacements of any of the items listed below please contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the relevant part number.

1 grill pan (311409401)

NOTE

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the oven(s) or grill have been used and at what temperature. It may not switch in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on when the grill or oven has only been used for a short time.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched ON. The neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will turn on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained.

If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and re-set following the instructions for the required setting.

When the oven has been set for automatic cooking the neon should remain unlit during OFF periods.

1 grill pan handle (311468100)

NOTE

If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.

1 grill pan grid (311419801)

1 meat tin (311409401)

1 cranked shelf (for grilling and top oven cooking only)

2 straight shelves (for fan oven cooking)

THE DUAL GRILL

USES OF THE 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 whole area of the grill can be used or, for economy purposes the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.

SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL

· Select the Top Oven/Grill Function to Full for full

grill.

· Select the Top Oven/Grill Function to Half for

centre section only.

· Turn the Top 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 Top

Oven Temperature control knob to 110°C or 150°C.

THINGS TO NOTE

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING GRILLING.

1. The cooling fan for the controls will operate in conjunction with the grill.

2. The outer grill element may appear to glow slightly brighter than the inner element. This is quite normal.

NOTE

Do not leave food unattended when grilling.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.

To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal hooks over the top of the grill pan.

Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.

Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

HINTS AND TIPS

· In order to become acquainted with the

performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling.

· 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.

· Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan

runner position to allow for different foods.

· 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 underneath the grid when grilling meats.

To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle 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.

· When toasting bread use the cranked shelf in

position 2 with the grid in the high position.

· Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes

before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking.

· The food should be turned over during cooking

as required.

· When using the centre section of the dual grill,

ensure food is positioned centrally on the grill pan grid in the grill pan.

NOTE

If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.

THE TOP OVEN

USES OF THE TOP OVEN

The top 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 or savoury flans or quiche.

The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 90°C – 100°C on the top oven temperature control.

SELECTING THE TOP OVEN

· Turn the Top Oven/Grill Function selector to

Oven.

· Turn the Top Oven Temperature control to the

required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The oven light will come.

2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.

3. The controls cooling fan will operate after a time.

See page 14 for more information on the cooling fan.

4. The top oven works independently of the main

oven and is not controlled by the selector.

5. Dishes, tins and trays should not be placed

directly on the oven floor as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

The cranked 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

· 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 centrally below the element.

· 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

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 place dishes or baking trays directly

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

· 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, lower

temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the Top Oven Cooking Chart.

· For economy leave the door open for the shortest

possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN

USES OF THE FAN OVEN

The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of the fan oven are 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 find you 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 27. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20C° - 25°C for your own recipes.

BATCH BAKING

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

SELECTING THE FAN OVEN

· Turn the Main Oven function selector to Fan

Oven

· Turn the Main Oven Temperature control to the

required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The oven fan will operate continually during cooking.

2. The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.

3. The oven light operates when the selector is set.

4. The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. See page 14 for further details on the operation of the cooling fan.

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.

5. If an automatic programme is set, the oven fan and oven light do not come on until the cook time begins.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Arrange the shelves in the required positions

before switching the oven ON. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards.

· DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly on

the oven floor as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position.

· 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.

· 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, see page 27.

DEFROST FEATURE

USES OF DEFROST FEATURE

This function enables you to defrost most foods 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.

It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function.

SELECTING DEFROST

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.

· Turn the Main Oven Function selector to Defrost

· This function DOES NOT require a temperature

setting on the Main Oven Temperature control.

· The oven fan and internal oven light will 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.

· 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 and microbial growth and cross contamination when defrosting, cooking cooling and freezing foods. See Helpful Hints on Buying and Preparing Food on page 33.

THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN

USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN

This function uses the top and lower elements to give single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan oven in operation.

SELECTING THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN

· Turn the Main Oven Function selector to

Conventional Oven.

· Turn the Main Oven Temperature control to

required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go OUT. It will then turn ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained.

2. The internal oven light operates when the selector is set. If an automatic programme is set, the oven light will come on when the cook time starts.

3. The control cooling fan will operator after a short time and runs on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. See page 14 for more details on the cooling fan.

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.

· For faster preheating use the fan oven function to

preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes out, then switch the selector to the conventional oven setting.

· Single level cooking gives best results. If you

require more than oven level cooking use the fan or zoned oven functions.

· 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.

· Dishes, tins and trays should not be placed

directly on oven floor as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.

THE ZONED OVEN

USES OF THE ZONED OVEN

When the Zoned Oven is selected the element at the top of the oven operates in conjunction with the fan with effect that the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. As there is a difference for up to 30°C between the top and bottom of the oven this feature is especially useful for dishes requiring different temperatures at the same time, making it ideal for cooking a complete meal on two shelves.

SELECTING THE ZONED OVEN

· Turn the Main Oven Function selector to Zoned

Oven.

· Turn the Main Oven Temperature control to the

required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The internal oven light will operate.

If an automatic programme is set, the internal oven light will come on when the cook time starts.

2. The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven

has reached the desired temperature and then go OUT. It will then turn ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained.

3. The control cooling fan will operate after a short time. It runs on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. See page 14 for more details on the cooling fan.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Remember that the top of the oven is hotter than

the bottom. The approximate difference in temperature between the top and the bottom is 30°C.

· If a higher shelf position is used than is

recommended in the chart on page 27, it may be necessary to lower the cooking temperature by approximately 10°C.

· Be prepared to interchange dishes between the

higher and lower shelf position during cooking where necessary.

· Ensure that food is placed centrally on the

shelves and that there is sufficient room around the dishes to allow for maximum air circulation.

· The use of enamelware or dark, heavy or non-

stick utensils will help to increase base browning for dishes such as Yorkshire Pudding, Plate Pies etc.

· For faster preheating use the fan oven function to

preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes out, then switch to the zoned oven following the times, temperatures and shelf positions recommended.

· It is best to cover dishes where practical for part

of the cooking time to prevent over browning. Covering the food will also reduce fat splashing onto the oven interior and help to keep the oven clean. Uncover food for the last 15-30 minutes of cooking time to allow the food to brown.

OVEN COOKING CHART

The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.

THERMAL GRILLING

USES OF THERMAL GRILLING

Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling.

The grill element and the 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.

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 thermal grilling function.

SELECTING THERMAL GRILLING

· Turn the Main Oven Function selector to Thermal

Grill.

· Turn the main oven temperature control to the

required setting. (A temperature of between 140°C and 220°C is suitable for thermal grilling).

NOTE:

Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and is carried out with the main oven door closed.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will then turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the oven temperature is being maintained.

2. The oven fan and internal oven light will come on.

3. The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a period of time. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. See page 14 for further details on the operation of the cooling fan.

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

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.

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 loads can be cooked at the same time.

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

THERMAL GRILLING CHART

· 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.

The times quoted above are given as a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste.

OVEN CLEAN FEATURE

USES OF OVEN CLEAN FEATURE

During normal use the Stayclean coating within the oven will become splashed with fats and food residues. When the oven clean feature is selected the Stayclean surfaces burn off any soilage. See Care of Stayclean Surfaces on page 36 for more details. Regular use of the oven clean function will keep the Stayclean panels in good condition.

SELECTING OVEN CLEAN

· Remove oven shelves and bakeware from the

oven.

· Turn the Main Oven Function selector to oven

clean.

· Turn the Main Oven Temperature control to

220°C.

THINGS TO NOTE

2. The internal oven light operates when the selector is set.

3. The control cooling fan will operate after a short time when oven clean is selected. See page 14 for more details on the operation of the cooling fan.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surfaces is

NOT recommended.

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

· Slight discoloration and polishing of the

Stayclean surfaces may occur in time, but this will not affect their self cleaning properties.

· Use the oven clean function for an hour or two

per week to avoid a build up of soilage which could prevent the Stayclean enamel from working properly.

· A good time to use the oven clean function is

after the weekly roast. Simply select oven clean function as described above and allow the oven to run for an hour or so.

· Surfaces which are not Stayclean coated e.g. the

oven base, the oven exterior etc., will require manual cleaning. Refer to the Care and Cleaning Section on page 34 for details.

· Useful hints and tips are given on page 36 on

how to keep soilage to a minimum.

THE ELECTRONIC TIMER

Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example

2.00 pm is shown as 1400.

In the following pages we explain how to set the controls. Read through them a few times until you are familiar with the procedure.

If the oven is switched off on the wall, or there is a loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be able to use the ovens. When you first switch the electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.

TO SET THE TIME OF DAY

Turn the selector knob to 'Manual' then turn to 'Time Setting'. Set the correct time by turning and holding the setting knob clockwise. Adjust the time by turning the setting knob in either direction.

Turn the selector knob back to 'Manual'.

Cookpot symbol Bell symbol

Selector Setting knob

TO USE THE COUNTDOWN

Turn the selector knob to ‘Countdown’. Turn the setting knob clockwise until the display shows the time you want. The bell symbol ( ) will be showing and this will stay lit up during the time. Our diagram shows the timer set to 5 minutes. If you change your mind and want to cancel the time you have set, simply turn the setting knob anticlockwise. Then turn the selector to ‘Manual’. When you are using the 'Countdown' you can make the clock show the time of day by turning the selector knob to ‘Manual’. The bell symbol will stay on to remind you that the 'Countdown' is set. At the end of the timed period an alarm will sound and the bell symbol will go out. Switch off the alarm by turning the selector knob to ‘Time Setting’. Then turn to ‘Manual’ and the time of day will show in the display.

Note:

You can use the 'Countdown' when an automatic sequence has been set, as long as you remember the following point.

1. Turn the selector knob to ‘Automatic’ as soon as you have entered the timed period into the display.

AUTOMATIC CONTROL

Important: You can only use the automatic control for the main oven.

When you use the automatic controls for the first time it’s probably best to choose a time when you are at home. That way you can check to make sure you’ve set everything correctly and you’ll feel much more confident when you are away from home in the future.

SETTING THE CONTROLS FOR AUTOMATIC USE

This is very easy. All you have to do is work through the steps below. The clock will work out the rest for itself.

1 Is the electricity supply on? 2 Is the clock

showing the correct time?

3 How long

will the food take to cook?

4 What time do

you want the food to be cooked by?

5 Set to

automatic.

6 Turn on the

oven control.

To adjust turn the selector knob to ‘Manual’ then turn to ‘Time Setting’. Turn the setting knob in either direction. Turn the selector knob to ‘Cook Time’. Then turn the setting knob until the length of time you want the food to cook shows in the display. The maximum cooking time is 10 hours. ‘Auto’ will show in the display. Turn the selector knob to ‘End Time’. Turn the setting knob until the time the oven is to switch off shows in the display. The cookpot ( ) will go out. The ‘End Time’ must not be more than 23 hours 59 minutes from the time of day. For example if the time of day is 9.00 am the latest ‘End Time’ will be

8.59 am the next day. Turn the timer selector knob to ‘Automatic’. Turn the oven control to the required temperature.

The time shown on the right gives an example of setting the automatic controls when the time is 9.00 am, the food is to be cooked for 2½ hours and the food is needed at 6.00 pm (1800 hours). The clock will work out what time the oven will switch itself on and it will turn the oven off at the end. Once the automatic sequence is finished there will be an alarm to remind you that you need to set the oven for manual operation. To do this turn the selector knob to ‘Manual’. Turn off the oven control. If you change your mind and want to cancel a programme that you have set simply turn to ‘Time Setting’ and then to ‘Manual’.

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. Always ensure food you purchase is of good quality and in prime condition. Shop at a reliable source and buy the ‘freshest’ looking package – avoid shop-worn labels or produce covered in dust.

2. Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you cannot store them straight away. The use of an insulated container when shopping is advisable.

3. Buy and consume foods prior to the ‘Sell by’ or ‘Best Before’ date.

4. 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.

5. Follow the cooking instructions on packets of prepacked and cooked chilled foods, but be prepared to adjust cooking time and temperatures to suit your particular oven. For example, the Fan Oven generally requires 2025°C lower temperature than Conventional ovens.

10. Cook meat thoroughly – use a meat thermometer if preferred, which penetrates the joint to check that the centre temperature has reached the required temperature (see table below).

MEAT TEMPERATURES

Beef

Pork Well Done – 80°C

Lamb Medium – 70°C

11. If not eaten straight away after cooking, food should be cooled as quickly as possible (within one hour) and then refrigerated or frozen as required. (Do not put hot food into a Refrigerator or Freezer).

12. 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.

Rare – 60°C Medium – 70°C Well Done – 80°C

Well Done – 80°C

6. Always ensure that cooked chilled foods are thoroughly re-heated until they are piping hot throughout.

7. It is preferable to defrost frozen foods slowly in the refrigerator. Alternatively, a microwave oven or the Defrost function on your oven may be used.

8. Always cook defrosted foods immediately after thawing. Thawed food should never be refrozen.

9. Joints of meat and poultry should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking.

CARE AND CLEANING

BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF 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 should also be avoided.

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 and oven doors using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little liquid detergent has been added.

CLEANING INSIDE OVENS

The Stayclean surface inside the ovens should not be cleaned manually. See page 36 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces' and the Oven Clean Feature for the main oven on page 30.

The vitreous enamel oven base 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.

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.

CLEANING THE SHELVES AND GRILL/OVEN FURNITURE

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

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

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

CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS

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

Under no circumstances should the door assembly be detached from the product for cleaning. Please refer to the cleaning instructions.

CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS

Under no circumstances should the door assembly be detached from the product for cleaning. Please refer to the cleaning instructions.

The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.

TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS

1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door.

TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS

1. Open the oven door with care and place in the park position at an angle of approximately 30°.

2. 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. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive screwdriver.

3. Hold the door glass securely with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand. The screws and washers retain the trim on the top of the grill / top oven door. Note the position of the trim on the door.

4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you, lift slightly to disengage the locators from the two bottom brackets. The door will remain in a parked position at an angle of approximately 30°.

3. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.

4. Ensure the trim is correctly positioned on the top oven/grill door.

5. Hold the glass in place at the top of the door. Insert the cross head screws into the location holes. Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure.

6. 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.

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.

5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Hob Brite may be used with care. DO NOT use Hob Brite on the Stainless Steel or painted finishes. DO NOT try to clean the foil which is inside the door. The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is damaged it will not work. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the outer door panel.

TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR PANELS

Clean the inner door glass panels using a soft cloth and hot water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. If the inner panel is heavily soiled, Hob Brite may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials on the door glass. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the glass.

CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES

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

To aid this process it is a good idea to run the Top Oven for an hour or two per week without food. To ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish. Use the Oven Clean function for the Main Oven. See page 30.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surface IS NOT

recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used.

· 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 over-browned.

REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB

The type of bulb required is a 300°C. 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1 (Available through your local Service Force Centres).

· Slight discolouration and polishing of the

Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.

· A good time to allow the oven to run on is after

the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour or so. It is important NOT to allow a build-up of soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean surfaces from working.

· Follow the recommendations below to keep oven

soilage to minimum.

· 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.

CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE

FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING THE BULB.

Open the oven door and remove the shelves to enable easy access to the oven light assembly.

Insert a flat blade screwdriver between the oven side and glass which covers the bulb.

Support the glass with your hand and prise out sufficiently to release the glass cover. Unscrew the bulb in an anticlockwise direction until it is possible to remove the bulb with ease.

Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise direction until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the flange is pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the glass by pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the bulb assembly.

Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary.

· 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.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING?

We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your appliance before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a simple one which you can solve yourself without the expense of a Service call.

If our Service Engineer finds that the problem is listed below you will be charged for the call whether or not the appliance is under guarantee.

The grill, oven and timer do not work:

* Check that the appliance has been wired in

and is switched on at the wall.

* Check that the main appliance fuse is

working.

* Check that the timer is set to manual (see

page 31).

If you have checked the above:

* Switch OFF appliance at the wall and allow

the appliance to cool for a couple of hours.

* Switch ON again. The appliance should now

be working normally.

The grill works but the oven does not:

The grill does not work or cuts out after being used for a long period of time.

* Leave the oven to cool for a couple of hours.

Check that the grill operates normally. Ensure that the door is left open during grilling.

* If the cooling fan fails, the grill will not

operate correctly. Please call your local Service Force Centre.

The oven temperature is too high or too low:

* Check that the recommended temperatures

are being used (see page 19 and 27). Be prepared to adjust the temperature up or down by 10°C to achieve the results you want.

* Care should be taken if using an oven

thermometer to check oven temperatures as they may be inaccurate.
