The cooking systems in your Cooker

Your new cooker is equipped with three different cooking systems:

1. Conventional Heating (Top Oven)

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

2. 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.

3. Fan Cooking (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).

The recommended temperatures given are for conventional and fan
ovens. When using a fan oven it will be necessary to reduce the cooking
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.

Condensation may become evident on the inner door and water may
drip through the vent. This is normal when heat and moisture are
present and may be a result of any of the following:

1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.

2. The moisture content of the food
eg. meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, roasting meat, etc.

3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one time.

The Working of the
Heating Zones

Choice of
Saucepans

Solarglo (Dual Circuit) 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

Care of the Ceramic Hob

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

Do Not

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.

Solarplus 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 Solarplus
high speed 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 Solarplus grill can be used from cold without any pre­heat. 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 rod shelf is in 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.
GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN
DOOR CLOSED - This will cause overheating.

kept away.

Grilling procedure

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 rod shelf as recommended in the chart (next page) for food
being cooked.

3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned 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:

Grill Pan Handle

Position 1 is bottom runner from the base of the oven.

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate cleaning and
storage. The handle can be either detachable from OR fixed to the pan.
For a fixed handle:
Remove the screw and washers from the grill pan bracket, tilt the handle
over the recess adjacent to the bracket (A), slide it towards the centre of
the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the bracket (C). Replace the
screw and washers and ensure they are fully tightened up.
For a detachable handle:
Remove the screw and washers from the grill pan and keep safe.

Please note that if a fixed handle is required, the grill pan cannot be kept
in the Fan Oven with the door closed but may be stored in the top oven

WARNING: Ensure that when using the grill pan handle in the detachable manner, it is

centralised and secure.

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 11.
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)

Platewarming in the
top oven

WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items china or items which could be affected by heat into

● 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 the floor 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.

The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of

a joint, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat thermometer will indicate when the required internal temp

has been reached.

Main Oven – Fan Cooking

The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided by an element
situated at the back of the oven, around the fan

Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking
times and often eliminating the need for pre-heating the oven. It is also
ideal for batch cooking where food is cooked on more than one level,
because the forced circulation of hot air gives an even temperature from
the top to the bottom of the oven.

The operation of the controls is covered on page 11.
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning (pages 24 and

25).

To use the oven
proceed as follows:

● The shelves should be evenly spaced. To avoid unnecessary
cleaning, shelves which are not in use should be removed from the
oven.

● Set the main oven control to the required temperature. Pre-heating is
not normally necessary, but some foods such as bread, scones and
Yorkshire pudding do benefit from being placed in a hot oven (see
cooking charts).

● Place the food to be cooked in the centre of each shelf to allow for
even air circulation around the food.

Using The Slow Cook Setting ‘90˚’

‘90˚’ SLOW setting

Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are:

Storage and re-heating of food:

Operation:

Points to consider when preparing food for “SLOW” cooking:

This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.
Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven.

DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the

- The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.

- Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.

- Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.

- Fully loading the oven can be economical.

- Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.
Bearing in mind these advantages, it makes sense to cook larger quantities of food than required
and store them in a freezer to be used cold or for re-heating. It is important to follow the
guidelines given for preparing food using the Slow Setting ‘90˚’.

1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container and cool as soon
as possible.

2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.

3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.

4. Only re-heat food once.

1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.

2. Select ‘90˚’ (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Main Oven Temperature Control
clockwise ensuring the oven door is fully closed.

1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air to

circulate.

2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they are

cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed.

3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4 lb 8oz).

We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the slow
setting.

4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170˚C for 30 minutes before

wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a meat tin (to allow good air circulation) before
turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately.

5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a

meat thermometer before serving.

6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing

frozen food in the oven to cook.

7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.

8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover food first with foil and

then the lid to prevent loss of moisture.

9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook properly.

10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.

11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then boiled for

a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.

12. Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in day cooking

sessions, where they can be checked from time to time.

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.
