! Keep this instruction booklet on hand in order to refer to it when necessary. Take it with you when you move, and should you sell this appliance or pass it on to another party, make sure that this booklet is supplied along with the appliance so that the new owner can become familiar with the appliance and safety warnings.
! Read these instructions carefully; the following pages contain important information on installation and suggestions on how the appliance works.
! Ensure that the oven is installed by a qualified registered installer, in accordance with the latest local regulations using the following instructions.
! Before connecting or installing the oven the electricity supply must be switched off.
Where to put your oven
Your oven should not be located adjacent to a gas hob/heater or eye level grill as flames from the burners could cause damage to your oven.
For your own safety and to get the best results from your oven it is important to read through this instruction booklet before using your oven for the first time, including the Always and Never safety warnings (see For Your Safety).
Electrical connections
! Ensure that the electricity supply is turned OFF before installing your appliance.
Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the oven. Pass the cable through the cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided. Allow sufficient cable so that the oven can be set down on the floor whilst still connected up. Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the terminal cover. Make mains connections. This appliance conforms to EN55014 regarding suppression of Radio and Television reception interference. Where a double oven is used a 32 amp double pole control switch should be used to feed the unit using a suitable rated cable. We recommend that a minimum of 4mm2PVC insulated twin and earth cable is used.
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to an oven then a 45 amp Double Pole control switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated cables.
2
We recommend that a minimum of 4mm insulated twin and earth cable is used.
! Children should not be allowed to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.
PVC
! Incorrect installation could affect the safety of the oven.
! This appliance must be earthed.
The installer must check that the voltage shown on the rating plate corresponds with the house electricity supply.
The oven must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch, having a contact separation of at least 3 mm in all poles placed in a readily accessible position adjacent to the unit.
The maximum loading for your oven is 5.3kW.
After unpacking the oven stand it on the packing base in order to avoid damage.
! IMPORTANT DO NOT LIFT OVEN BY THE DOOR HANDLES.
This equipment is designed specifically for domestic purposes and Ariston cannot accept responsibility if used for any other type of application.
This appliance conforms to the following EEC Directives:
- 73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC (Low Voltage Equipment)
- 89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC (Electromagnetic Compatibility)

1. General
The appliance is designed for mounting at a safe level into an open housing which must be secured to the backing wall.
2. Oven Housing Cabinets
The oven unit housing cabinet dimensions must comply with Fig. 4 (see Installation Diagrams).
An air gap of 50 mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or bottom cupboards or shelves Fig. 1 (see Installation Diagrams).
Ventilation must be unobstructed, ie. from adjacent cabinetry. This can be done by either raising the base of the cabinets using the adjusting feet (or spacers) or alternatively by providing a slot in the cabinet plinth to the dimensions shown overleaf.
The air gap at the rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the inner cabinet space, but where it is intended to fit cupboards above the oven unit to ceiling height it is essential that the warmed air is exhausted through the front of the cabinet Fig. 1 (see Installation Diagrams).
If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from the oven when the door is opened could condense on, and perhaps stain, the adjacent surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface should be made of a material that is heat resistant and easy to clean.
Adjacent tall cabinets should not be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.
3. Final installation
Using a spirit level, check that the housing cabinet is level from side to side and from front to back in its installed position.
Correct any unevenness by placing wooden packing under the bottom of the cabinet.
Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the cabinet floor without rocking
Before the oven is fitted, the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing wall for stability.
The oven unit should now be lifted (by 2 adults) into the cabinet and pushed fully home.
Finally the oven unit must be secured to the cabinet by means of the four pozi wash head screws, two through each side trim.
Remove all packing material from the grill and oven interior.

Use steam cleaners.
Before using the oven for the first time
! Make sure the electricity supply is switched on. Please note that when the double oven is used for the first time a slight odour may be emitted due to the ‘burning off’ of any temporary finish on oven fittings and elements and the removal of moisture absorbed by the insulation. The odour will cease after a short period of use. To remove the ‘new smell’, heat up the empty oven for 30 minutes keeping the door closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (eg. open a window or door or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the new smell has ceased. Turn the selector switch to fan oven function, then turn the oven thermostat to MAX. Also turn top oven/grill selector to MAX.

Timer Operation
GB
The oven timer offers you the following features:
1. Time of Day
2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
Automatic Cooking
The ovens can be controlled automatically.
Guidance on automatic cooking
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook.
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or is just about to finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled down and does not require reheating before serving.
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.
4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.
5. We advise dishes containing left over cooked poultry or meat, for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay period is kept to a minimum.
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie. poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
9. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.
11. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

! Grilling should NOT be undertaken with the grill/top oven door closed.
door grilling
position
The grill control provides variable heat control of the grill element and will only operate once the oven control has been set to a grill position (fully clockwise).
The grill regulator is designed to provide variable heat control of either the twin grill elements on together or the single left-hand grill element only, depending on which mode you select:
Grilling procedure
Ensure oven timer is set to Manual.
Pre-heat the grill at setting 6 for approximately 1 minute.
When toasting/grilling, the rod shelf is placed in either the second or third runner position from base. The grill pan is placed on the shelf and pushed back as far as possible to correctly position it under the grill element.
Leave the control at 6 for toast, and for sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower setting after the initial sealing on both sides at 6. The thicker the food, the lower the control should be set.
Fixing the grill pan handle
Fix the grill pan handle securely in position before use. The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate storage.
1. The handle fits onto the grill pan edge with the small recess. Tilt the handle over the recess.
GB
- To select twin grill, first turn the Top Oven/Grill Selector clockwise to Full Grill.
- To select single grill turn the Top Oven/Grill Selector clockwise to Half Grill.
Food which requires browning only should be placed under the hot grill directly on the shelf in the first or second runner from the bottom of the oven, according to the depth of the dish.
The heat can now be adjusted by setting the grill regulator.
Please note that the grill will not operate unless the Top Oven/ Grill selector is in the grill position.
After use, always return both the Top Oven/Grill selector and grill regulator anti-clockwise to the OFF positions.
! Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil.
! Care should be taken when removing the grill pan
during or directly after use.
2. Slide it towards the centre of the grill pan.
3. Endure the handle is fully located. Secure in place using the washer and fixing screw. Tighten fully.
! Always fit the screw prior to use.
! The grill must be cleaned after every use. Excess fat build up in the bottom of the pan could cause a fire hazard.

Cooking in the Top oven
Conventional cooking
! Do not place items (food or utensils) directly onto the floor of the oven.
The top oven can be used to cook small quantities of food or used in conjunction with the main oven to provide additional cooking space so often necessary when entertaining. The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output (element will not glow), combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf directly beneath the element. (As a guide, the front of the utensil should be approximately 100 mm / 4in from the front of the shelf.) There are two cooking positions, with the shelf placed on either runner 1 or 2 (from the base of the oven). There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between the top of the food and the grill element.
! Do not use utensils larger than 300mm x 230mm (12in x 9in). Larger utensils should be used in the main oven.
Cooking meat and poultry in the top oven
The top oven is most useful for the longer slower cooking required for cheaper cuts of meat - casserole cooking, pot roasting, braising etc. Small joints of meat up to 1.5 kg (3 Ib), or poultry, up to 3.6 kg (8 Ib) in weight can be roasted in a small meat pan in the top oven, but should preferably be ‘slow roasted’ or covered with a lid of aluminium foil (one or two incisions in the top of the foil will allow the meat or poultry to brown). Larger joints of meat, and poultry weighing more than
3.6 kg (8 Ib), should be roasted in the main oven.
! Do not use the main oven meat pan or the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven, as air circulation will be seriously restricted.
Top oven as a warming compartment for plates and dishes
Place the plates and dishes on the shelf, which has been positioned in runner 1 and turn the top oven temperature control to 100˚C for 10-15 minutes
! Do not use the grill control.
GB
Operation
To heat the oven, turn the Top Oven/Grill Selector clockwise, selecting the required temperature between 100˚C (200˚F) and 220˚C (425˚F) as recommended (see Top Oven Temperature Charts). The top oven indicator light will immediately and remain on until the oven temperature. The indicator light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature. If the indicator light does not come on when the control knob is turned, check that the oven timer is set to manual (see Timer Operation).

Fan grilling
Fan grilling is a combination of heat from the grill element and the oven fan circulating the hot air around the food. Joints of meat and poultry will be browned as if they were cooked on a rotisserie or spit but more economically as the door is left closed.
If required, fan grilling can be timed using the Oven Auto timer. Follow the timer instructions (see Timer Operation) before selecting fan grill and the required temperature. ! If Manual fan grilling is required always ensure the timer is set to manual.
! Do not use the oven without the removable oven roof in position with its front flange facing downwards.
Operating instructions
1. Open the oven door.
2. Select the correct shelf position, as stated in the chart (see Fan Grilling Roasting Chart).
3. Turn the selector switch to the Fan grill position.
4. Turn the oven thermostat control to the required temperature (see Fan Grilling Roasting Chart).
5. Position the meat pan centrally under the grill elements.
6. Close the oven door.
7. After use always return both controls to the off position.
8. If the oven timer was used, reset to manual.
As with the fan oven cooking there is no need to pre-heat the oven – yet another economy feature. Also you can cook more than one thing at a time ­even up to 4 small chickens.
Meat pan and roasting rack.
Temperatures
These will be similar to those used for the more traditional form of roasting but the guide will give you an indication of which temperature to set the Thermostat.
! Remember that because of the way the oven is heated this is a more economical way of roasting.
General recommendations
Most types of meat and poultry cooked by this method will have an all over brownness and crispness on the outside. The only exceptions are very lean joints, such as veal, which, because of its low fat content, is better cooked using conventional heating.
1. Always place the pan on the shelf position recommended (see Fan Grilling Roasting Chart).
2. There is no need to preheat the oven before cooking and all fan grilling should be carried out with the oven door closed, this saves energy. The cooking temperatures and times are calculated from a cold oven.
3. After rinsing and drying meat, place on the food roasting support rack over the pan supplied.
4. Position meat in oven as recommended in the roasting chart.
5. Fan grilling is ideally suited for cooking all types of poultry and larger joints of meat (e.g. stuffed, rolled joints and legs of pork and lamb). Results will be as if you had cooked the food on a rotisserie. If you use frozen meat or poultry it must be completely defrosted before it is cooked.
6. When cooking a joint always grill it with the fat side uppermost in order to crisp it. For bigger joints or where there is little bone, grill at the lower temperature given in the chart (see Fan Grilling Roasting Chart) and cook for a longer time per kg.
7. When cooking any type of poultry, start grilling the underside uppermost and turn breast uppermost about a third to halfway through the cooking period. If cooking stuffed poultry allow slightly longer cooking time.

Cooking in the Main oven
Fan only
Conventional oven
The oven is heated by elements at the top of the oven and underneath the floor of the oven.
! Do not turn the oven thermostat control on. ! Do not defrost meat or poultry by warming the food
through.
The main oven has a fan only position which can be used to assist defrosting by circulating unheated air around the food. Time to defrost will depend on the type and size of the food and the room temperature.
Operation
1. Turn the selector switch to the ‘fan only’ position.
2. After use always return the control to the Off position and close the oven door.
Foods ideally suited for fan defrosting (without heat) are those which are normally served cold eg. cream/cream cakes/butter cream filled cakes. gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches, pastries, biscuits, bread croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods. If fish, meat and poultry are to ‘fan only’ defrosted then where possible the items should be thin eg. fish fillets, peeled shrimp, cubed or ground meat, sliced meat, thin chops, steak or liver. The items should be placed so the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to the circulating air and turned regularly to ensure even defrosting.
! Never line the shelves, floor or the sides of the oven with aluminium foil as overheating and damage may result. ! Food should not be placed on the floor of the oven.
DO NOT use the oven without the removable oven roof in position with its front flange facing downwards.
Operation
1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual.
2. Position the rod shelf as recommended (see Main Oven Temperature Charts).
3. Position food centrally under grill element.
4. Turn the selector switch to the ‘conventional oven’ position.
5. Turn the oven thermostat control to the required temperature setting (see Main Oven Temperature Charts). The oven indicator light will come on and will remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature. The oven indicator light will then automatically cycle on and off during cooking as the oven temperature is controlled.
6. After use always return both controls to the Off position and close the oven door.
Fan defrosting without heat is only suitable for meat and poultry joints up to a maximum weight of 1.8kg (4 lb).
It is important to wash both roast and cooking utensils before cooking immediately after defrosting.
It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

Fan oven
Fan oven cookery notes
GB
The oven is heated by elements at the rear of the oven. A fan at the rear of the oven operates to circulate heated air within the oven.
! Never line the shelves, floor or the sides of the oven with aluminium foil as overheating and damage may result.
DO NOT use the oven without the removable oven roof in position with its front flange facing downwards.
Operation
1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual.
2. Turn the selector switch to the ‘fan oven’ position.
3. Turn the oven thermostat control to the required temperature setting (see Main Oven Temperature Charts). The oven indicator light will come on and will remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature. The oven indicator light will then automatically cycle on and off during cooking as the oven temperature is controlled.
4. After use always return both controls to the Off position and close the oven door.
Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating the oven is often unnecessary. However, foods such as bread, scones Yorkshire pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.
The charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C.
Because the fan oven cooks so efficiently, we recommend that when cooking any recipes not designed for a fan oven, you reduce the temperature by about 25˚C and the time by about 10 minutes in the hour. If large quantities are being cooked it will be necessary to increase the cooking time somewhat to compensate for the extra oven load.
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked.
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened, this will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.
Oven Positions
Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced:
To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.
! Do not fit shelves upside down. ! Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air
circulation will be restricted. ! Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on the floor of the oven.
To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use should be removed from the oven.

GB
Fan oven cookery notes
Temperature and Time
The oven is provided with two shelves. A third is available as an optional extra, for genuine parts and accessories contact our Parts Department for further information. If three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should allow an equal gap on all sides of the oven.
To prepare meat and poultry for roasting in your Fan Oven
Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which has for been stored in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room temperature before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven.
The weight of any stuffing used should be added before calculating the cooking time.
Place meat/poultry in the main oven meat pan supplied with your cooker. Small joints weighing less than 1.75kg (31/2 lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin – or they may be ‘pot roasted’ – a small joint or a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven splashing and evaporation of meat juices.
Additional fat should not be added, except for veal, very lean meat or poultry which can either be ‘larded’ with fat bacon or brushed very sparingly with cooking oil or melted fat.
Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with seasoned flour to give a crisp outer surface. The skin of duck and goose should be pricked to release excess fat during cooking and the rind of pork should be scored, brushed lightly with oil, and rubbed with salt to give crisp crackling.
Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a tent of aluminium foil will be juicy and tender. Roasting bags offer the same advantages. Always follow the manufacturer’s pack instructions, and remember to reduce the temperatures given for conventional ovens by approximately 25˚C and the time by approximately 10 minutes per hour.
Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with cooking oil or melted fat.
It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an electric oven and stock or liquid should not be added to the meat pan since this only causes unnecessary soiling, steam and condensation.
Frozen Meat and Poultry
! Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g,1 lb), or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1 lb). ! Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven. ! It is essential to wash thoroughly and cook meat and poultry immediately after defrosting.

Circulaire roasting
Food is placed on the roasting rack, this allows the oven fan to circulate the hot air around the food - making it suitable for thin foods, such as chops, steaks, sausages as well as meat joints and poultry as it will cook both sides at the same time. It is possible to cook on any shelf position, as the temperature in the oven is evenly distributed. Also, the oven heats up more quickly and generally will cook food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, so pre-heating is not necessary for most foods. For a guide on cooking times and temperatures Circulaire Roasting Chart below). If required, circulaire roasting can be timed using the Oven Timer. Follow the Timer instructions before selecting ‘fan oven’ function and the required temperature.
! It is also possible to cook food on the roasting
rack on one shelf, while cooking different types of food at the same temperature on other shelf positions (three shelves maximum).
(see
Operation
1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual. Ensure that the oven shelf is in the position you require. Place the food centrally on the roasting rack. Position the roasting rack on top of the grill/meat pan. Place the grill/meat pan centrally on the oven shelf. Ensure the oven door is fully closed.
2. Turn the control knob (B) clockwise to the ‘fan oven’ function. Turn the control knob (A) clockwise to the required cooking temperature (see Circulaire Roasting Chart below). The oven pilot light () will come on and will remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature. The oven indicator light will then automatically cycle on and off during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
3. After use always return both controls (A) and (B) to the Off position (O).
! At the end of a cooking period there may be a
momentary puff of steam when the door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

Slow Cook setting
Your multifunction oven has a slow cooking facility. This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.
Some advantages of Slow Cooking are...
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Timing of food is not critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Fully loading the oven can be very economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases, by up to 2 hours, for late comers.
Bearing these advantage in mind, it makes sense to cook larger quantities of food than required and store them in a freezer to be used cold or for re-heating.
It is important to follow the guidelines given for preparing food when using the ‘Slow’ setting.
Slow cooking can only be used with the selector switch set to ‘fan oven’ function and the oven temperature control at setting ‘S’.
Operation
1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual.
2. Turn the selector switch to the ‘fan oven’ position.
3. Turn the oven thermostat control to temperature setting ‘S’. The oven indicator light will come on and will remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature. The oven indicator light will then automatically cycle on and off during cooking as the oven temperature is controlled.
4. After use always return both controls to the Off position and close the oven door.
Points to bear in mind when preparing food...
Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before preparing food.
All dishes cooked by the Slow Cook setting should be cooked for a minimum of 6 hours. They will ‘hold’ at this setting for a further hour but marked deterioration in appearance will be noticed in some cases.
Joints of meat and poultry should be cooked at fan oven function, 170˚C for 30mins before turning to the Slow Cook setting.
Meat over 2.7kg (6 lbs) and poultry over 2kg (4 lbs 8 oz) are unsuitable for the Slow Cook setting.
Always stand covered joints on a rack over the meat tin, to allow good air circulation.
Pork joints can only be cooked, if an internal temperature of at least 88˚C is reached. This can be tested using a meat thermometer.
This method is unsuitable for stuffed meat and poultry.
Always bring soups, casseroles and liquids to the boil before putting in the oven.
When casseroles are used, cover the food first with foil and then the lid to prevent loss of moisture.
Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.
Root vegetables will cook better if cut into small even sized pieces.
Always adjust the seasoning and thickening at the end of the cooking time.
Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be observed from time to time.
Dried red kidney beans must be boiled for a minimum of ten minutes after soaking, before inclusion in any dish.
Storage and re-heating of food...
If food is to be frozen or not served immediately, cool it in a clean container as quickly as possible.
Thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.
Re-heat food thoroughly and quickly either on a hotplate or in the fan oven, 170˚C and then serve immediately.
! Only re-heat food once.

Main oven grilling
! Do not allow young children near the appliance when the grill is in use - the surfaces get extremely hot.
! Do not line the grill pan with aluminium foil. ! Ensure the grill pan is cleaned after every use.
Excess fat build up in the bottom of the pan could cause a fire hazard.
! Grilling should never be undertaken with the door closed.
door grilling
position
Pre-heat the grill on the required setting for 5 minutes.
Operation
1. Open the oven door and position the rod shelf as recommended for the food being cooked (see Grill chart below).
2. Turn the multifunction selector switch to ‘Half Grill’ or ‘Full Grill’ and then turn the Main oven temperature control to the required setting.
- Pre-heat for approximately 5 minutes.
3. Position the grill pan centrally under the grill element and push back as far as the location stops and the rod shelf.
4. Leave the oven thermostat at setting 230˚C for toast and for fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking turn the thermostat to a lower setting, after initially sealing on both sides at 230˚C. The thicker the food, the lower the thermostat should be set.
5. After use always return both controls to their Off position (O).

Care and Cleaning
GB
Switching off the electricity
! Turn off the mains switch before cleaning it and before all maintenance operations.
Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF position.
! Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners / powders which may scratch the surface. Under no circumstances should abrasive cleaning materials be used.
Cleaning the exterior
The outside of both ovens can be cleaned, when cooled down, using a cloth which has been rinsed in warm soapy water. The oven can then be wiped down with a clean dry cloth. ! Never use an abrasive powder as this will damage the surface.
Decorative Trims
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the appliance. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water, or mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in normal use), then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Door & control panel trims
Regularly wipe with a clean damp cloth and polish with a clean dry cloth.
Cleaning the main oven
Remove the rod shelves and meat pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, meat pan and the floor of the oven. Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the oven liners.
! Do not use aerosol cleaners on this oven as they could adversely affect the fan motor unit, and cannot be wiped off the fan blade.
How the oven liners work
The surfaces of the oven liners are treated on the surface with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature, the more effective it is. In most cases normal cooking operations at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly, it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without meat pan, at maximum setting for a couple of hours in Fan Oven mode ONLY. This may be necessary once a month or every two or three months depending on the type and amount of oven cooking. It should not normally be necessary to clean the oven liners with water. If the user feels it is desirable to do so, wash them down in warm, soapy water then rinse with clear wate. Replacement oven liners are available should you require them, from your nearest Service Centre (see Service). ! Do not use biological/ enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.
Cleaning the top oven
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan and floor and roof of the oven.
28
Replacement of Oven Lamp
The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee. This part is easy to replace:
1. Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves.
2. Grip the light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift out.
3. Reach into the aperture with fingers and unscrew the faulty lamp anti-clockwise. Fit a replacement lamp (15W 300˚C SES) which can be obtained from your nearest Service Centre (see Service), and refit dome.
! When screwing and unscrewing the faulty lamp use a thick cloth to protect your fingers should the lamp break.
Switching off the electricity
! Turn off the mains switch before cleaning it and during all maintenance operations.
Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF position.
Take particular care not to damage the inner surface of the door inner glass that is coated with a heat reflective layer.
! Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners / powder, which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.

Cleaning the oven doors
Oven door removal (Main Oven)
The door is removable to facilitate occasional cleaning of heavy soiling from the oven floor and from the door itself.
Please note that the door is heavy and care should be taken not to pinch your fingers during the removal and replacement.
To remove
1. Open the door fully and, using a coin or screwdriver, turn the two discs clockwise.
2. Slightly close the door, unhook the lower hinge fingers, then pull the door away from the oven front frame.
To replace
1. Insert the lower fingers and the hooked ends of the door stays, ensuring that the slots in the lower fingers engage with the front frame.
2. Fully open the door and turn the discs anti­clockwise to their normal working positions. Close the door - the hinge will now lock into position.
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool pad.
For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door. After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Side opening doors
Cleaning the door glass is the same as the drop down doors, except take care to support the weight of the inner glass when removing and refitting.
Drop down doors
Remove the door inner glass as follows:
1. Open the door fully and unscrew the two screws
securing the glass panel so that the securing brackets can be turned. There is no need to remove the screws completely.
2. Turn the brackets so that the glass can be removed and cleaned at the sink.
3. The inside of the outer door glass can now be cleaned while still fitted to the cooker.
! Never operate the cooker without the inner door glass in position.
Refit the door inner glass as follows:
1. NOTE: The inner door glass has a special reflective coating on one side. Replace the door inner glass so that the statement: “IMPORTANT THIS FACE TOWARDS THE OVEN” can be read from the inner side of the door.
2. Turn the two securing brackets back to their original position to retain the glass and tighten the screws.
