The top oven grill has 3 heat settings
as follows:-
Preheating
For best results, preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes.
To switch on the grill
Open the top oven / grill door.
Turn the top oven control knob to the
required setting.
Important
: The door must be kept
open when the grill is used.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
For grilling smaller quantities of food
the centre (economy) grill can be
utilised.
For grilling larger quantities of food,
the full grill can be utilised.
When using the grill in the top oven,
the speed of grilling can be controlled
by adjusting the grill setting or by
selecting a higher or lower shelf position.
For toasting, and for grilling foods
such as bacon, sausages or steaks,
use a higher shelf position.
For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces, use the low shelf
position.

USING THE TOP OVEN - ELECTRIC
When you are cooking keep children
away from the vicinity of the oven.
Caution: The top element gets extremely
hot when in use, so take extra care to
avoid touching it.
The top oven is a conventional oven.
Note: The top oven is not controlled by
the programmer.
To turn on the top oven
Turn the temperature control knob
clockwise until the required temperature
is selected.
The red thermostat indicator will come on
until the selected temperature is reached,
and then go off; it will turn on and off
periodically as the thermostat operates to
maintain the selected temperature.
To switch off, return the top oven control
knob to the off position.
Important: Never put items directly
on the base of the oven, or cover the
oven base with foil, as this may cause
the element to overheat. Always position
items on the shelf.
The cooling fan
When the top oven is switched on, you
will hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of the
appliance cool during cooking. The fan
may continue to operate for a period after
the oven control has been switched off.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled foods, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufés, and whisked
sponges.
Preheat the oven until the indicator light
switches off for the rst time, this will
take up to 20 minutes depending on the
temperature selected.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the following guide may
need to be extended, as they are based
on a preheated oven.
Shelf positions
There are 2 shelf positions which are
counted from the bottom of the oven
upwards, so shelf position 1 is the lowest.
When cooking frozen or chilled food, use
the highest possible shelf position, while
allowing some clearance between the
food and the top element.
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven
and facing up. Position baking trays
and roasting tins on the middle of the
shelves, and leave one clear shelf position
between shelves, to allow for circulation
of heat.
When using the top oven
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven(s). When opening the oven
door, care should be taken to avoid any
possible contact with potentially hot air,
since this may cause discomfort to people
with sensitive skin. We recommend that
you hold the underneath of the oven door
handle.

Top oven baking guide
Cooking times
These times are based on cooking in a
preheated oven.
These cooking times are approximate,
because the size and type of cooking
dish will inuence time as personal
preferences.
Shelf positions
As a general guide, when cooking frozen
or chilled food, use the highest possible
shelf position, while allowing some
clearance between the food and the top
element. Follow the instructions given on
packaging.
Cooking temperatures
The temperature settings and time given
in the Baking Guides are based on dishes
made with block margarine. If soft tub
margarine is used, it may be necessary
to reduce the temperature setting. If
a recipe gives a different temperature
setting to that shown in the guide, the
recipe instruction should be followed.
Because the top oven is more compact,
it may be necessary to reduce cooking
temperatures specied in recipes by up
to 20°C.
Use the baking guide as a reference for
determining which temperatures to use.

should be kept away.
To switch on the oven
Turn the oven control knob(s) to the
required setting.
The red thermostat indicator will come on
until the selected temperature is reached
and then go off; it will turn on and off
periodically as the thermostat operates to
maintain the selected temperature.
To switch off, return the control knob to

When opening the oven door, care should
be taken to avoid any possible contact
with potentially hot air, since this may
cause discomfort to people with sensitive
skin.We recommend that you hold the
underneath of the oven door handle.
Preheating
When cooking sensitive items such as
soufe and Yorkshire puddings or, when
cooking bread, we recommend that
the oven is pre-heated until the neon
switches off for the rst time. For any
other types of cooking, a pre-heat may
not be required.
Manual Operation
The programmer must be set to manual
operation before the main oven can be
used. If A (Auto) is on the programmer
display, return the oven to manual
by pressing the up and down buttons
simultaneously Any programme which has
been set is cancelled.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan may operate when the
main oven is on and may continue to
operate for a period after the oven has
been switched off.
Oven furniture
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
Position baking trays and roasting tins on
the middle of the shelves, and leave one
clear shelf position between shelves, to
allow for circulation of heat.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even
browning, the maximum size baking trays
and roasting tins that should be used are
as follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 280mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to 16
small cakes.
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
We recommend that you use good quality
cookware. Poor quality trays and tins may
warp when heated, leading to uneven
baking results.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC FANNED
Slow cooking ( Setting or 100°C)
• Make sure that frozen foods are
thoroughly THAWED before cooking.
• Do not slow cook joints of meat
or poultry weighing more than
2¼kg/4½lb.
• Preheat the oven to 170°C and cook
for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven
control to or 100°C (slow cook
setting) for the remainder of the
cooking time.
• Slow cooking times will be about 3
times as long as conventional cooking
times.
• Do not open the oven door
unnecessarily during slow cooking,
as this will result in heat loss at low
temperatures.
• Always use dishes with tightly tting
lids. To rectify badly tting lids, place
foil over the dish underneath the lid.
Aluminium foil
Use foil only to cover food or cooking
dishes, using foil to cover the shelves or
oven base creates a re hazard.
Cooking with a fanned oven
As this is a high efciency oven,
you may notice the emission of
steam from the oven when the door
is opened. Please take care when
opening the door.
If you are used to cooking with a
conventional oven you will nd a number
of differences to cooking with a fan oven
which will require a different approach:
There are no zones of heat in a fan oven
as the convection fan at the back of
the oven ensures an even temperature
throughout the oven.
This makes it ideal for batch baking - eg;
when planning a party as all the items will
be cooked within the same length of time.
Foods are cooked at a lower temperature
than a conventional oven, so conventional
recipe temperature may have to be
reduced. Please refer to the conversion
chart.
Preheating is generally not necessary as a
fan oven warms up quickly.
There is no avour transference in a fan
oven, which means you can cook strong
smelling foods such as sh at the same
time as mild foods - eg; milk puddings.
When batch baking foods that will rise
during cooking - eg; bread - always
ensure that enough space has been left
between the shelves to allow for the rise.
Notes:
When 2 or more shelves are being used,
it may be necessary to increase the
cooking time slightly.
Because the 2 oven shelves are wider
than in many ovens, it is possible to
cook 2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria
sandwiches or 2 casseroles.
Although you need to keep in mind the
points ‘To help the air circulate freely’
with careful choice of dishes and tins, it
is possible to cook a complete meal, and
perhaps something else for the freezer, in
the oven at the same time.
When roasting meats, you will notice that
fat splashing is reduced, which is due in
part to the lower oven temperatures, and
will help keep cleaning of the oven to a
minimum.
Because a fan oven has an even
temperature throughout the oven, there
is no need to follow the shelf positions
given in the baking guide.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC FANNED
There is no need to interchange dishes
onto different shelves part way through
cooking, as with a conventional oven.
To help the air circulate freely
Position the shelves evenly within the
oven and maintain a clearance from the
oven roof and base.
If more than one cooking dish or baking
tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a gap
of at least 25mm between the items
themselves and the oven interior.
Defrosting and cooling in the
main oven
To defrost frozen foods, turn the main
oven control to the defrost position, place
the food in the centre of the oven and
close the door.
To cool foods after cooking prior to
refrigerating or freezing, turn the main
oven control to the defrost position and
open the door.
Defrosting times
Small or thin pieces of frozen sh or meat
- eg; sh lets, prawns & mince will take
approximately 1 - 2 hours.
Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
A medium sized casserole or stew will
take approximately 3 - 4 hours.
A 1½kg/3lb oven ready chicken will take
approximately 5 hours, remove the giblets
as soon as possible.
Be safe
Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this
method.
Do not defrost larger joints of meat and
poultry over 2kg/4lb using this method.
Never place uncooked food for defrosting
next to cooked food which is to be cooled,
as this can lead to cross contamination.
Defrosting meat, poultry, and sh can be
accelerated using this method but make
sure they are completely thawed before
cooking thoroughly. Place meat and
poultry on a trivet in a meat tin.
Main oven baking guide
Cooking times & temperatures
The temperature settings and times given
in the baking guide are based on dishes
made with block margarine. If soft tub
margarine is used it may be necessary to
reduce the temperature setting.
Allow enough space between shelves for
food that will rise during cooking.
Do not place items on the oven base as
this will prevent air circulating freely.

Note: this is a high efciency oven, therefore some adjustment will have to be
made to conventional cooking temperatures. The table below shows conventional
cooking temperatures, ‘A’ efciency temperatures and gas marks. For optimum
results, conventional temperatures need to be converted to ‘A’ efciency temperatures.
For example, an item which would normally cook at a conventional temperature
of 180 °C, will now cook at the ‘A’ efciency temperature of 160°C.

Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens can
vary over time, therefore cooking times
can vary, making it difcult to be precise
when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary therefore, to test the cake
before removal from the oven. Use a ne
warmed skewer inserted into the centre
of the cake. If the skewer comes out
clean, then the cake is cooked.
• Follow the temperatures suggested
in the recipe and then adjust
accordingly to the conversion table.
• Do not attempt to make Christmas
cakes larger than the oven can cope
with, you should allow at least 25mm
(1 inch) space between the oven walls
and the tin.
• Always follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.
• To protect a very rich fruit cake during
cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper
around the tin.
• We recommend that the cake tin is
not stood on layers of brown paper, as
this can hinder effective circulation of
air.
• Do not use soft tub margarine for rich
fruit cakes, unless specied in the
recipe.
• Always use the correct size and shape
of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey involves cooking two
different types of meat - the delicate light
breast meat, which must not be allowed
to dry out, and the darker leg meat,
which takes longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long enough
for the legs to cook, so frequent basting
is necessary. The breast meat can be
covered once browned.
• Always make sure that the turkey
is completely thawed and that the
giblets are removed before cooking.
• Turkey should be roasted at 160°C -
180°C for 20 minutes per 450g (1lb),
plus 20 minutes, unless packaging
advises otherwise.
• The turkey can be open roasted,
breast side down, for half of the cook
time, and then turned over for the
remainder of the cooking time.
• If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes
per 450g (1lb) to the cooking time.
• If roasting turkey covered with foil,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the
cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
ne skewer into the thickest part of the
thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey
is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the
turkey will need longer cooking.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC FANNED
Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the size
and age of the bird will inuence cooking
times as will the shape of a joint and the
proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed
before cooking. For large joints it is
advisable to thaw over night.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time required
depends on the size of the bird - eg; a
large turkey may take up to 48 hours to
thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to
help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or
other vegetables can be roasted around
the meat/poultry.
Notes:
• When cooking stuffed meat or poultry
calculate the cooking time from the
total weight of the meat plus the
stufng.
• For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the
calculated cooking time.
• Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg (2½lb) may require 5 minutes
per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time.
• Position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry is in the centre of the
oven.
• It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.
