THE COOKING MODES IN

YOUR COOKER

Your new cooker is equipped with a number of different cooking modes:

Conventional Heating (Top Oven)

- with upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for
roasting and baking on one shelf only.

Variable Grilling (Top Oven)

- the oven can also be used for conventional grilling with a full or half
width fully controllable grill.

Note: The Top Oven door should be open when grilling.

Fan Oven (Main Oven)

- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing heated air, from an
element wrapped around the fan, into the oven. This gives improved
efficiency and in general, enables the use of lower temperatures for
cooking. It also means that there is less need to be particular about shelf
positions and that you can bake at more than one level simultaneously
(Batch Baking).

Traditional (Main Oven)

- the upper and rear heating elements are switched on in this position.
The traditional oven brings an outstanding level of temperature
distribution and reduced consumption. In traditional cooking use only
one rack to ensure good heat distribution. By using the various shelf
positions available you can balance the quantity of heat between the
upper and lower part. If cooking requires more heat from below or above,
use the lower or higher shelves respectively.

Roast Meat (Main Oven)

- specially created for cooking joints of meat. This mode raises the
temperature in the oven to a very high heat for the first part of the
cooking cycle, to seal the outside of the joint and retain the juices of the
meat throughout cooking. After this the temperature is reduced to the
set temperature using each heating element in turn to guarantee a
homogeneous temperature for the cooking period. A temperature is
suggested on this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control
knob.

Roast Chicken (Main Oven)

- specially created for cooking excellent roast poultry. This mode can be
used to roast chickens, duck, turkey and other poultry to perfection. Each
heating element is used in the cycle to guarantee a homogeneous
temperature within the oven. A temperature is suggested on this mode
but this can be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

11

THE COOKING MODES IN

YOUR COOKER

Fish (Main Oven)

- this mode provides gently pulsing top and rear heat to lightly poach fish
dishes without overcooking or drying out. A temperature is suggested on
this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

Rising (Main Oven)

- this mode heats and holds the oven at 40˚C. It is ideal for proving bread
and yeast based dough mixtures. When this mode is selected a cooking
duration of 14 minutes is automatically set, this can be altered by
pressing the 'time/mode' button until the cooking duration icon flashes.
Then use the '+/-' control knob to adjust the cooking duration.

Bread cycle - Auto

- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour. When this mode is
selected the time and temperature cannot be adjusted.
It is suitable for baking bread weighing up to 1.5kg, either in a tin or on a
baking tray.
This mode includes a proving cycle and a baking cycle. If an initial proving
cycle is needed this can be done using the RISE mode (8).
Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe book supplied with the cooker.

Cake cycle - Auto

- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour. When this mode is
selected the time and temperature cannot be adjusted.
it is suitable for baking sponge based cakes that take between 30 minutes
and 1 hour to cook.

COOKING

The main oven can be controlled automatically.

- Select food which will require the same cooking time and temperature.

- To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so
the food is ready when you require it.

- Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.

- Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as
possible.

- If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic
cooking, keep the delay time to a minimum.

- Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delayed start cooking as it could
cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.

- We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry and meat, eg.
shepherds pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.

- Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth
in food.

- Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it is
best to add these ingredients just before serving.

- 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.

- Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.

- 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.

- Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.

- Only reheat food once.

time by 10 minutes per hour and lower the temperature by up to 20˚C.
Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessary to pre-heat the oven.
However, pre-heating is recommended when cooking items such as
Yorkshire puddings, whisked sponges and bread. Your experience with
the cooker will enable you to select the cooking time and temperature
best suited for your recipe.

The Working of the
Heating Zones

Choice of
Saucepans

Solarglo (Dual Oval) Solarglo Solarglo

Heating only occurs within the marked circular cooking zones. The zones
heat up and cool down quicker, providing greater controllability for
sensitive foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal limiter
which is a safety cut-out which prevents the ceramic glass from
overheating. After several minutes at full power without a pan on the
heating zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating elements off and
on automatically to avoid any damage to the ceramic glass.

It is essential that the saucepans you use on the ceramic hob are suitable.

ALWAYS USE:

● Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.

● Saucepans manufactured from aluminium (enamelled or machined)

or stainless steel.

● Correct size saucepans. The base of the pan must cover the heating
zone completely.

● Saucepans with lids which are well fitting to reduce cooking time and
energy use.

NEVER USE:

● Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as these will extend cooking
times, waste electricity and cause damaging, local hotspots on the
glass surface.

● Pans with ridged or recessed bases.

● Pans with damaged or rough bases which could scratch the glass

surface.

● Glass or glass ceramic utensils.

18

Do Not

CARE OF THE

CERAMIC HOB

In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition, follow these
simple guidelines:

Do not stare at halogen heating units.
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as this

will result in damage to the surface of the hob.

Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the

smooth surface of the hob.

Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause

scratches in the surface of the hob.

Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob

surround.

Do not place anything between the base of the utensil and

the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats,
aluminium or wok stand.

Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob when

it is not in use.

Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the hob.
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless they are

being used.

Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they are switched On.

We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two
heating areas.

Do

Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas.

Always ensure that they are placed centrally over
the heated areas and have the same diameter as
the heating area used.

Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both clean and dry. Dirt or

moisture between the pan and the hob can cause pitting of the
surface of the glass.

We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base diameter greater than
25cm (l0ins).

Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front cooking
areas.

Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.
Always take extra care when cooking foods with a high sugar content

eg. jam, as spillage will cause damage to the surface of the glass.

Always clean spills immediately (see Care and Cleaning).

19

CARE OF THE CERAMIC

HOB (CONTINUED)

IMPORTANT – As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk

attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking
utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (e.g. to answer the
telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.

1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate
heating area.

2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or oil.

3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.

4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food.
This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in
greasy food.

5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the
hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting,
if added too quickly.

6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob.

Safety
requirements for
deep fat frying

In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:

1. Switch Off the electricity supply.
NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and injuries are caused almost
invariably by picking up the burning pan and rushing outside with it.

2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan fire, as the force of the
extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over.
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that you FACE and ARMS are
WELL PROTECTED from the flames to save you from becoming hurt.

3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR
AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.

4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade immediately.

SOLAR PLUS GRILL

CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use - children should be

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The solar plus
grill is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it
takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5
minutes pre-heat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal
grilling the solar plus grill can be used from cold without any pre-heat.
However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre­heating the grill for about 1 minute.

Note:

You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This
stops you from touching live parts.

DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as
this could damage or break the element tubes OR if the grill is on
cause an electric shock.

During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while
the grill is still on. Turn the cooker off at the control unit and wait until it
has cooled down before cleaning.

Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted - DO NOT
store the grill pan handle on the grill pan grid when the grill pan runners
are on the top runner position.

There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and one on the right. You
can choose to have both sides on or just the left side on. Turning the
control knob clockwise, will switch both sides on. Turning it anti­clockwise, will only switch the left side on. The numbers which are
displayed indicate the heat setting:
Number 4 is the hottest and number 1 the coolest.

kept away.

Grilling procedure

GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN
DOOR CLOSED - This will cause overheating.

The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the ‘0’ Off
position.

1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.

2. Position the telescopic runners and grill pan as recommended for
the food being cooked (see the ‘Guide to Grilling’ chart, next page).

3. Place the grill pan into the telescopic runners, position centrally
under the element.

4. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause
overheating of fat in the grill pan.

NOTE: As the grill pan will be hot when the grill is in use, ALWAYS use
oven gloves or the grill pan handle when removing the grill pan.

TOP OVEN

- CONVENTIONAL COOKING

The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is provided by the grill
element and the element under the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the
slow cooking of cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc. but can also be
used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).

The operation of the controls is covered on page 9.
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning (pages 24 and

25).

The top oven can be used either independently to cook small quantities
of food or in conjunction with the main oven to provide additional
cooking space.

● The shelf should be positioned on the first or second runner from the
bottom.

To use the oven
proceed as follows:

25mm (1 in)

Plate warming in
the top oven

● Set the top oven control to the required temperature, the top oven
light will come on and wait for the thermostat light to go off,
indicating that the oven has reached the right temperature.

● The food to be cooked should be placed in the centre of the shelf
with a gap of at least 25mm (1in) between it and the grill element.
This should avoid burning and ensure even cooking.

● Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.

Plates and dishes placed on shelf 1 of the top oven will be heated when
the main oven is in use.
When the main oven is not in use, for instance when a meal is being
cooked on the hob, place the plates and serving dishes on the shelf using
the bottom runner and turn the top oven control to approximately 100˚C.
A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is required to heat the plates
and dishes.

NEVER operate the grill control when using the top oven for cooking or
warming plates and dishes.

WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items china or items which could be

affected by heat into the oven.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING, SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS COOKER
CONTROL PANEL AND ALLOW IT TO COOL. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OVENS ARE

CLEANED AND KEPT FREE FROM FATS, OIL AND GREASE.

Cleaning of the
Ceramic Hob

Always clean spills immediately. If the hob is reused before cleaning,

spillage will be baked on and be very difficult to remove.

Always switch the cooker OFF at the cooker control panel.

To minimise cleaning:

Always take care and avoid spills.
Always use a Ceramic Hob Cleaner-Conditioner whenever cleaning is

done. The Cleaner-Conditioner forms a protective film on the
hob and contains a mild detergent which makes cleaning
easier. A Cleaner-Conditioner which can be obtained, either
through a local Service Centre or retailer.

To clean off stubborn stains, the following can be used when the surface has
cooled:

1. Cif, non-scratch cream cleaner.

2. Heavy soil can be removed from the surface by carefully

using a glass scraper.

3. Hard water stains, grease spots and any discolouration
having a metallic sheen can be removed with Solvol Autosol
Super or any non abrasive stainless steel cleaner.

After cleaning, always use the Cleaner-Conditioner and finish it off by
polishing with a clean, dry paper towel.

Never use abrasive or chemical oven cleaners as they can damage the

surface of the hob.

The visual effect of any scratches which may occur in use can be minimised
by the use of Cleaner-Conditioner. Such scratches cannot be removed but
do not affect the function of the hob in any way.

‘Heat Clean’ Liners

Oven Fittings

Oven Interiors

Oven Door Cleaning

Cooker Exterior

‘Heat Clean’ liners are covered with a special enamel which absorbs
cooking soils. At higher temperatures the soiling is slowly destroyed. In
most cases normal cooking at higher temperatures will permit this
cleaning to take place automatically.
However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly then it
may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven at
maximum temperature for at least two hours, from time to time.
The ‘Heat Clean’ liners can be washed in warm soapy water followed by
rinsing in clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.

NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh abrasives or
chemical oven cleaners of any kind.

The oven shelves can be cleaned either in a dishwasher or by using a
fine steel wool soap pad. The grill and meat pans can be cleaned in warm
soapy water using a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains
or in a dishwasher.
They should be cleaned after each use.

To clean the oven interiors remove all the oven fittings and where
applicable the ‘Heat Clean’ liners.
All types of oven cleaners can be used, but do not allow abrasive
cleaners or oven spray to come into contact with the ‘Heat Clean’ liners.
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains.

The inner door glass panel can be removed for easy cleaning, see
CLEANING THE DOORS section of Care and Cleaning.

The outside of the cooker should be cleaned regularly to keep it looking
like new.
Wipe over with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water and dry with a soft
clean cloth.
You can use mild non abrasive cleaners but always read the
manufacturer’s instructions first. Always test their suitability on a small
area of the cooker not noticeable in normal use.

NOTE: DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners as they may
scratch the surface.

Wear protective gloves when cleaning any part of your cooker.

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE DOORS

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 powder, which will
scratch the glass.
Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.

Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad.
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 DOOR

Cleaning the door glass is the same as the drop down door, 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 remove the extrusion end caps (This should be done by hand but if
it proves too difficult, simply lift the inner glass to ease the end caps out of position).

Note: If you need to use a tool - be careful not to damage the extrusion or end cap.

2.

Carefully slide the inner glass towards you and withdraw it from its
locating slots.
Ensure that the door is not allowed to slam shut, due to the
reduction in door weight.
Clean the glass as described above.

For slight soiling the inner

3. The inside of the outer door glass can now be cleaned while still fitted to the cooker.

Refit the door inner glass as follows.

1. Open the door fully.

2. Locate the inner door glass into its slots, so that the printing is readable from the face
nearest the oven in the closed position and the widest black band is towards the bottom of
the door. The inner door glass has a special reflective coating on one side, in order to
minimise surface temperatures and energy consumption during use, it is important it is
fitted correctly.

3. Carefully slide the glass into its slots as far as it will go and replace the end caps.

NEVER OPERATE THE COOKER WITHOUT THE INNER DOOR GLASS IN POSITION.
