After unpacking your cooker, make sure that you remove all the
packing from the oven and grill, and any stickers from the oven
door and the hob.
Examine your cooker for any damage, particularly the hob glass.
Make sure there are no chips or cracks.
If there is any damage to your cooker or anything is missing,
please contact your supplier for advice. If the hob is cracked the
cooker must not be connected to the supply, and no part of it may
be used.
WARNING: Do not install your cooker on a platform.
Your cooker is heavy, so be careful when moving or
positioning it. Do not try to move the cooker by pulling on the
doors or handles. The Belling Format is designed to fit between
600mm deep cabinets, spaced a minimum of 600mm apart. It can
also be used freestanding, with a cabinet to one side, in an angled
corner setting or with its back to a wall.
The cooker must be installed in accordance with the following:
adjacent side walls which project above hob level must not be nearer
to the cooker than 150mm (6”) Any overhanging surface or cooker
hood should be at least 650mm (25
1
/2”) above the cooker hob. We
do not recommend positioning the cooker below wall cupboards, as
the heat and steam from the cooker may cause damage to the
cupboard and its contents.
Whatever the position, remember to leave enough room for the
cooker to be pulled out for cleaning and service.
Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the
front as follows. Open the Grill/Oven door sufficiently to allow a
comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof,
avoiding any grill elements or oven interior furniture. Also taking
care not to damage floor coverings.
Your cooker must stand on a flat surface so that the hob is perfectly
level, and the cooker is stable and cannot be rocked. If the
floor is not level there is some scope for adjustment by using the
screw feet and wheels on the base of the cooker.
Two rear wheels and two front feet are fitted which can be adjusted up
or down to set the height (900mm - 915mm) and level the cooker.
1. The rear wheels can be raised or lowered from the BACK of the
cooker by adjusting the levelling screws ‘A’ in the plinth.
2. The front feet can be simply screwed in or out to lower or raise
the front of the cooker.
CAUTION: Some soft floor coverings may get damaged if the cooker is
not moved carefully.
VIEWED FROM
THE REAR
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED!
Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage
corresponds with the supply voltage, this is stated on the rating
plate, which is situated adjacent to bottom left hand main oven door
hinge. The cooker must be connected by a qualified electrician to a
suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum of 45A and a
minimum contact clearance of 3mm, which should be fitted adjacent
to (but not above) the cooker, in accordance with current IEE
regulations. The power supply cable should conform to BS6004. We
recommend P.V.C. insulated twin and earth cable with a conductor
size of 6mm
2
. The maximum size of cable that can be used is 10mm2.
The control unit should be easily accessible in the event of an
emergency.
This appliance conforms to EN55014 regarding suppression of radio
and television interference.
For access to the mains terminal block, for supply cable connection,
it is necessary to remove the mains terminal cover, located at the
lower right-hand side of the rear panel. Pass the cable through the
cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided.
Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the cover.
No part of the appliance will operate unless the main control unit is
switched O N.
Allow sufficient cable length for the cooker to be pulled out for
cleaning, but do not let it hang closer than 50mm (2”) to the floor.
The cable can be looped if necessary, but make sure that it is not
kinked or trapped when the cooker is in position.
Before you cook for the first time, we recommend that you switch
on each element in turn to burn off any odours remaining from
manufacture. Simply operate each hob element and the grill on
maximum for a few minutes, and the oven for approximately 30
minutes. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (eg. open a window
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 smell has ceased.
Also, before you use the ceramic hob for the first time, clean the
hob surface with Belling Ceramic Hob Cleaner and Conditioner.
This applies a thin protective film to the hob, making it easier to
clean, and prolonging its life.

For your safety
When used properly your Belling Format is completely safe, but as
with any electrical appliance there are some precautions you must
take in its use.
● Never stare at Halogen Heating Units.
● Never allow anyone except an authorised Belling Service Agent
to service or repair your cooker.
● Never remove any part of the cooker other than those intended
in normal use, or attempt to modify the cooker in any way.
● Never use the cooker for commercial catering. It is designed for
domestic use and for cooking food only.
● Never allow young children to operate or play with the cooker.
● Never use a chip pan or deep fat fryer more than
1
/3full of oil and
never use a lid while frying. Do not leave a fryer unattended while
cooking.
● Never operate the grill with the grill/top oven door closed. This
may cause overheating of your cooker.
● Never line the shelves, floor, or sides of the oven or grill, with
aluminium foil as overheating and damage may result.
● Never place materials which might catch fire, such as tea towels
on the hob or elements, even when the cooker is not in use.
● Never allow aluminium foil or plastic to touch any hob element
when it is hot.
● Never use an insulated mat, trivet or rack of any kind under pans
on the hob.
● Never store anything which might catch fire in the oven or grill.
● Never heat unopened containers.
● Never place flammable or plastic items on or near the hob.
● Never dry clothes on either hob or oven doors.
● Never store flammable liquids, aerosols, etc. in adjacent cabinetry.
● Never operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook
automatically.
● Never use steam cleaners.
Never..

For your safety
● Always take care when touching any part of the cooker as they
may be hot. Use good quality, dry oven gloves when removing or
replacing food or dishes.
● Always stand back when opening the oven door to allow any
build-up of heat or steam to disperse.
● Always keep the oven and grill doors closed when not in use to
prevent accidents, but remember that the grill door must be kept
open when grilling to prevent overheating.
● Always make sure that the shelves are fitted correctly before using
the oven or grill.
● Always keep your cooker clean, as a build-up of grease or fat
from cooking may be a fire hazard.
● Always switch off at the cooker control unit before cleaning your
cooker.
● Always supervise children and pets, particularly when grilling, as
exposed parts of the grill may become hot.
● Always use suitable pans for the hob, and make sure that they
are stable.
● Always keep handles away from the edge of the hob and any
heat. For added safety you should consider using a suitable hob
guard.
● Always make sure that all the controls are switched off when you
finish cooking.
● Always remember that your cooker may stay hot for a time even
after you have finished cooking.
● Always keep ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
● Always keep children away from cooker when cleaning at
maximum oven setting.
Always..

Control Panel
The control knobs have been designed to be easy grip.
The control knobs for the hob elements, grill and multifunction
selector can be operated in a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.
The control knobs for both ovens can only be turned in a clockwise
direction from the off position.
Note: Always make sure that all controls are switched off after
cooking and that nothing is left on the hob.
In common with all cookers having controls sited above the grill
compartment, care must be taken when setting the controls, due to
the hot air expelled from the grill compartment.
A gentle flow of air will be blown below the control panel when
grill/oven controls are in use.
The oven lights will illuminate when the appropriate oven controls
are operated. The light will remain on during the cooking period.
(NB. some Models have no oven light).
The main oven has a Slow Cook setting specially designed to reduce
energy usage.
To operate turn main oven thermostat to 90oC and turn the main
oven selector switch to the correct function i.e.

Oven Timer Operation
The oven timer offers you the following features:
1. Time of Day
2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
The automatic timer can control the Main oven only. When the timer
control has been set for the main oven it is possible to use the other
oven on non automatic cooking.
Never operate the grill when the Oven is set to cook automatically.
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook and
require approximately the same temperature.
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or 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 delay 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. Foods should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container
to prevent the loss of liquid during cooling. Aluminium foil
gives a good seal.
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.
