cables.
IMPORTANT’ THIS APPUANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Position
Location
Careful thought should be given to the location of the appliance; make sure the
cooker is adjacent to work surfaces, and avoid locating:-
— in a main "traffic path" of the kitchen or home.
— where open oven doors will obstruct or create an awkward working situation.
— in a draughty location which may cause a poor air circulation around the cooker.
It is also necessary to consider the fact that when using the cooker some parts are
going to get warm or even hot.
The panels of adjacent furniture should be made of heat proof material and in the
case of veneered furniture units, the glue used should resist temperatures of up to
90°C.
If your cooker is near a window, make sure that there are no long curtains or drapes
which could blow over the cooker and catch fire.
Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate the warranty, liability claims
and could lead to prosecution.
This appliance is only intended for domestic cooking of foods in a domestic
environment and should not be used for any other purpose.

...Installation - Steps...
STEP 1 PREPARE CABINET
• With the cabinet in its intended position, check the appliance base support shelf
is level, the cabinet sides are vertical and that the cabinet is firmly secured to
the rear wall.
• Small inaccuracies in the cabinet can be dealt with by applying suitable shims,
providing that the dimensions shown in figure 1 are maintained. If the cabinet
is such that the appliance can not be installed level it must be rectified before
proceeding with the installation.
• Remove all packaging from the appliance.
• Figure 2 shows the critical appliance dimensions for fixing into the cabinet.
• Note - Any projections within the cabinet must not encroach into an area between
0 and 883mm above the appliance base support shelf and 0 to 170mm from the
front edge of the cabinet on either side (see figure 3)

Cooking Hints When Using a Programmer
Please remember the oven is not a refrigerator and especially in periods of warm
weather, it should not be used as a storage cupboard for perishable foods. When
cooking perishable food by automatic control, certain precautions should be taken
to prevent food spoilage:
Do
Make sure that all food is cold (preferably straight from the fridge) and fresh.
Keep the delay period as short as possible by cooking stews and joints by the
long slow method.
Be particularly careful over food selection during warm weather.
When cooking poultry, ensure that it is cold but not frozen when placed in the oven.
Cover dishes with foil or lids to prevent loss of liquid. Foods which are strong
smelling should also be covered.
Protect foods which discolour by brushing with fat or water to which lemon
juice has been added.
Use frozen vegetables and fruit as they are Ideal for this type of cooking.
^ Do not
Place food in an oven which is warm from previous use.
Cook dishes such as plate pies or custard tarts - wet mixtures standing on
uncooked pastry for a long time are unsatisfactory.
Use cream as it may curdle. It can be added just before serving.

...Using Your Grill...
O Grilling
• Hinge down the door.
• CAUTION - when using the grill it is important to leave the grill door open.
• There are three grilling heights available - these are obtained by
positioning the top oven shelf between the runner supports (see illustration on
page 17). Never position the shelf on top of the runner supports. The grill pan
and brander can then slide onto the shelf and should be pushed to the fixed
stop position.
• Each of the three positions can be varied by using the brander grid in the high
position or by reversing the brander In the grill pan to give the low position.
In the low position fats drain away more easily and this is recommended for
either thick foods or foods with a high fat content.
• Select the grill mode and power settings required.
• Load the grill pan brander with the food to be grilled and slide the grill pan into
position.
O Useful Hints when Grilling
• Preheating although not essential will ensure quicker grilling times.
e.g. For grilling rare meats a preheat of approximately five minutes is
recommended.
• Position food on the pan in the centre of the grilling area.
• When cooking steak, bacon, etc., the highest shelf position Is used, however,
to suit Individual tastes and styles a different shelf position can be chosen.
• The grill brander can be placed in the raised position for toasting bread, grilling
bacon and any other thin foods or it can be placed in the lower position for
cooking thicker Items such as chops or chicken pieces.
• Seal the foods to be grilled on a high setting and then turn down as necessary
to cook through to the centre.
• Always use the grill with the brander in position and do not line the grill pan with
aluminium foil.
• See grilling chart on page sixteen for examples of grilling.
Opiate Warming
• The grill compartment can be used for warming plates or dishes when the grill
pan Is removed and the main oven is in use. Do not turn the grill on when
warming the plates or dishes.
Caution - accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used !
Young children should be kept away!

...Using Your Top Oven...
O Top Oven
• The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens and is designed for use with the busy
cook in mind and is therefore the ideal solution should the main oven be full.
• Your top oven performs in much the same way as most conventional ovens,
that is, it uses an element top and bottom of the cavity.
O To use
• Hinge down the door. Remove the grill pan.
• Close the door and select the oven temperature required.
• Pre-heat the oven to the required temperature - the top oven temperature indicator
neon will go out when the required oven temperature has been reached.
• There are four shelf positions available-these are obtained by positioning
the top oven shelf between the runner supports and on the base of the top oven
cavity. Never position the sheif on top of the runner supports.
Note - Shelf position one is highest and position four is the base of the cavity
(The base is for Top oven use only) (see Illustration below).
• Place the food in the oven to be cooked for the length of time required.
O Tips for Top Oven Use
• When operating both the main fan oven and the top oven together it may be
necessary to either Increase the temperature setting or allow a longer cooking
time in the top oven only.
• Delicate foods - When baking delicate foods such as cake, it is important that
the food to be cooked is placed In the oven as soon as the top oven temperature
indicator neon has gone out. If this is missed then It is important to wait until
the neon goes out for the second time.
Note - this is only necessary when cooking delicate foods and is not necessary
when cooking casseroles, baked potatoes etc.
•
• For maximum baking performance it Is recommended that a baking tray no
larger than 300mm wide x 270mm deep be used.
• Place the baking tray or food to be cooked centrally under the element.
• The top oven can be used to roast joints of meat up to 31b (1.36Kg) or poultry
upto approximately 61b (2.7Kg).

...Using Your Fan Oven...
O Fan Oven Cooking in General
Unlike a conventional electric oven, which cooks food by natural convection,
the hot air system has been designed to circulate hot air throughout the entire
oven.
• The way in which the oven now cooks the food is far more efficient and effective
so lower temperatures should be used (see conversion chart on page 21). The
cooking times stay the same.
Note - It is recommended that recipe temperatures are reduced by 10°C to allow
for this efficiency although greater reductions may be necessary to suit
personal tastes and preferences.
• With this method of cooking you can also cook different foods on several shelf
positions at the same time without any transfer of smell or taste from one dish
to the other.
• As hot air is available almost as soon as you switch on the oven, pre-heating is
usually not necessary. With some foods such as scones, yorkshire pudding,
yeast dough's, pastries or soufflés, better results can be achieved if the oven
is pre-heated. A 5 to 10 minute pre-heating time is sufficient.
• When cooking with hot air it is not necessary to turn meat or indeed baste it.
The hot air cooks the food from ail sides, sealing it quickly from the outside
leaving the inside succulent and moist.
O To Use
• Turn the main oven control knob to the fan oven symbol
• The oven temperature Is then selected by turning the main oven thermostat control
knob to the required temperature setting. A thermostat controls the oven temperature
- when the temperature selected has been reached, the oven temperature indicator
neon will go out.
• The oven control knob Is marked in degrees Celsius.
O Shelf Positions
There are six shelf positions counting from the top of the oven, the shelves may be
moved up or down to accommodate large utensils.
O Oven Shelves
There are two shelves provided In the main oven. It is also possible to batch bake on
three levels using the top oven shelf. The shelves should be evenly spaced when
batch baking, using for example shelf positions two, four and six. If two or more
dishes are to be cooked on the same shelf, leave 13mm (V2") space between them
for the correct circulation of air.

O Oven management
• When arranging to cook a complete menu which will make use of available oven
space, collect the utensils intended to hold the food and see that they fit
together on the shelves. The space taken should not, however, exceed 300mm
(12 inches) square on any shelf.
• A meat thermometer can be a great help when roasting meat and should be
inserted In the thicker part of the meat. The thermometer is most useful with beef
ensuring that you have it cooked to your particular taste. It is still necessary to work
out the approximate length of cooking time In order to know what time cooking
should be started. Make sure the thermometer does not touch the bone.
O Baking
• When cooking large quantities of food for home freezing or for parties, it may
be necessary to increase the given cooking times to allow for the loss of heat
due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food.

O Meat tin
Cooking a small joint in a large tin will cause fat to overheat then splutter and splash.
To cut down the amount of splashing when high temperature roasting:
• Use a meat tin having an anti-splash trivet.
• Use a smaller tin.
• Fill the spaces around the meat with the potatoes etc., to be roasted.
• Make sure all meat and vegetables are dry before being roasted.
O Aluminium Foil
Joints cooked in a tin covered with aluminium foil - adjust cooking time by adding a
further 5 to 10 mins per lb. (500g) to the times given in the cooking chart. Joints
wrapped in aluminium foil in the form of a parcel - follow manufacturers instructions
given on the packet.
OHints
The times given can only be a guide for the average joint as the shape and proportion
of bone must also betaken into consideration. If the joint is very thin a shorter cooking
time will be required.

...Fan Oven Cooking Guide...
All meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Wipe the meat with damp
kitchen paper or wash very quickly in cold water and dry well.
To reduce the fuming and spluttering, which often occurs with high temperature
roasting, raise the meat on a trivet and place Vi a pint of water in the roasting tin. This
may be replenished if necessary then used as a concentrated stock for gravy.
When cooking a complete meal In the oven It may be necessary to raise the oven
temperature towards the end of the cooking period - for example to cook a Yorkshire
Pudding to serve with roast beef.
The recommended times may vary depending whether you prefer meat rare, medium
or well cooked.
Z>PouUty
If the bird Is frozen it must be completely thawed before cooking, the best results will
be obtained if the thawing takes place slowly In a cool atmosphere. The flesh of the
bird should be quite soft before cooking commences. Remember to remove the
giblets which are usually packed in polythene and frozen inside the bird.
The time taken to thaw depends on the size of the bird, and the instructions on the
pack should be followed.
All birds should be thoroughly rinsed with cold water before cooking. Allow the water
to run right through the bird, drain and dry well with absorbent kitchen paper.
The main oven will hold an oven ready turkey of 9Kg (201b).

A completely accurate time for roasting cannot be given, as it depends on the size
and age of the bird. The cooking chart below is intended as a general guide.
