your kitchen and make cooking a pleasure. Dependant on model, your cooker features a large fan
oven with a fan grill function (643SS only), a separate grill / top oven and a ceramic hob with one
halogen hotplate (643SS only).There is also a clock/timer which features a minute minder and an
automatic main oven switch on and off feature.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

• All installation and maintenance must only be
carried out by qualified personnel.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for
any damage to persons or property resulting from
an incorrect installation of the appliance.

• The safety and automatic adjustment devices of the
appliance may, during its life, only be modified by
the manufacturer or duly authorised supplier.

• In accordance with the electricity standard the
appliance is type Y.

• The walls adjacent to and surrounding the
appliance must be able to withstand a
temperature rise of 65K.

UNPACKING YOUR COOKER

• Remove all packaging before use and check to
make sure that the appliance is in perfect condition.
If you have any doubts do not use the appliance
and call 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.

• Do not move the appliance using the handles.

• Some parts on the appliance are protected by a

plastic film. This protective film must be removed
before the appliance is used. We recommend
carefully slitting the plastic film along the edges
with a sharp knife or pin.

LEVELLING THE COOKER

• It is important that the cooker is placed on a firm
level surface and that the feet, are adjusted to
ensure that the cooker is perfectly level. An
unlevelled cooker can affect the cooking results. To
level the cooker simply adjust the feet (P) (See
diagram below) screwing up or down as required.
By turning these feet you can align the cooker height
with the adjacent work surfaces.

• The cooker is fitted with two spacers placed at the
rear part of the hob top, which ensures a minimum
distance between the appliance and the rear wall.
They must not be removed.

The packaging materials should carefully
discarded and not left within easy reach of
children as they are a potential safety hazard.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

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 on the
rear of the cooker. The cooker must be connected by a
qualified electrician to a suitable double-pole control
unit with a minimum of 32A and a minimum contact
clearance of 3mm, which should be fitted adjacent to
(but not above) the cooker, in accordance with 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 10mm 2 .
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.

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 a proprietary Ceramic Hob
Cleaner and Conditioner. This applies a thin protective
film to the hob, making it easier to clean, and prolonging
its life.

Belling Ceramic Hob Cleaner can be obtained from the
Belling Spares Department tel. [phone], quoting
reference number 630811.

Connection to the mains terminal block as shown below.
It is accessed by removing the cooker back panel.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

When used properly your Belling cooker is completely
safe, but as with any electrical appliance there are some
precautions you must take in its use.

Never..

• 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/
2 full of oil, or 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 asbestos 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 cabinets.

• Never wear garments with long flowing sleeves
whilst cooking.

• Never stare directly at Halogen heating units.

Always..

• Always take care when touching any part of the
cooker which may be hot. Use dry, good quality,
oven gloves when removing or replacing food or
dishes.

• Always stand back when opening the oven doors
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 keep your cooker clean, as build-up of
grease or fat from cooking may be a fire hazard.

• Always switch off at the mains 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 controls are switched off
when you have finished 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 the cooker when

cleaning at maximum setting.

• Always fit the control panel heat shield when grilling.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the control
knobs or surrounding panels.
