Using the Oven for Fan Cooking

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower
temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary.
For guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times”, see “Oven Temperature
Charts” later in book.

NOTE: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary
to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be necessary to increase or
decrease cooking times.

Oven

OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN

Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of heat in the
oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.

ver be placed directly on the floor of the oven for cooking as air

OVEN UTENSILS

Do not use: Meat pans larger than 375mm x 300mm (15” x 12”)

An additional oven shelf can be purchased, from our Parts Department or your nearest retailer, if
a third one is required for batch baking. Never use more than three shelves in the oven at one
time as air circulation will be restricted.

Baking Trays larger than 325mm x 250mm (13” x10”)

TEMPERATURE & TIME

If three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary to increase the
cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due
to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an
even gap around the oven.

Step 1 Ensure that the oven shelf is in the correct position.

Place food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Turn Oven / Grill selector, knob A anti-clockwise to FAN OVEN function.

Step 2 Turn knob (B) anti-clockwise and select the required cooking temperature

(80˚C to 230˚C). The pilot light will immediately come on, and remain on until
the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically
go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct
temperature.

Step 3 After use turn both controls to their Off (O) position.

“SLOW” SETTING

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 oven
lining and the plates which are being warmed.

ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE:

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.
The kitchen stays cooler.

OPERATION:

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

2. Turn knob A to Fan Oven function.
Turn knob B to (slow cooking temperature).

90

STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:

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.

POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING

1. Make sure that all 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,
it 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 (4lb 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
before wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a 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 to the
top with foil 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. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to
avoid overcooking.

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 of meat, or
the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat
thermometer will indicate when the required internal temperature has been
reached.

Care and Cleaning

Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off
and the appliance is fully cold.

1. “CREDACLEAN” OVEN LINERS

(a) How "Credaclean" works.

The surfaces of the "Credaclean" oven liners are
treated with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs
cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or
above, the special surface enables these soils to be
slowly destroyed.
The higher the temperature the more effective it is.

(b) Cleaning.

In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C
(425°F) will permit this cleaning operation to
proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking

temperatures are not used regularly, it may be

MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS

AND REAR PANEL

necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run
the ovens without shelves or meat pan, at a
maximum setting for a couple of hours.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the
"Credaclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean,
soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp
cloth.

DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage
the “Credaclean” oven liners.

Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT

This equipment is designed specifically for domestic purposes and Creda Limited cannot
accept responsibility if used in any other type of installation.

All Creda oven units are suitable for installation under Creda hob units.

This appliance must not be installed over any appliance that generates heat.

For your own safety, we recommend that your appliance is installed by a competent person
– such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical
Installation Contracting). The cooker should be installed in accordance with the latest
Edition of the IEE Regulations.

1. GENERAL

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

(a) The oven unit is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing

which must be secured to the backing wall, or alternatively, in the case of the
single oven unit, under a worktop with or without a hob unit above.

(b) In an oven/hob arrangement where it is proposed to install the oven directly

below the hob. It is advisable that only slimline hobs are used which have the
following maximum depths.

Kitchen Worktop thickness

30mm

Installation Instructions

2. OVEN UNIT HOUSING CABINETS

(a) The oven unit housing cabinet dimensions must comply with Fig. 3 and

Fig. 4.

(b) An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or

bottom cupboards or shelves for ventilation.

(c) Do not obstruct the ventilation slots provided on the oven trim. This is found

adjacent to the bottom of the oven door.

(d) The air gap at the rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the cabinet. If

cabinets extend up to the ceiling, the warm air must be exhausted through to
the front. Fig. 1.

(e) If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from the

oven when the door is opened could condense on, and perhaps stain the
adjacent surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface should be
made of a material that is heat resisting and easy to clean. Adjacent tall cabinets
should not be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.

IMPORTANT

It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated i.e. hav­ing side, back and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which could permit
access to the oven unit when installed.

3. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Mains Supply

A 20 amp Double Pole control switch with a minimum contact clearance of 3mm must
be fitted on or recessed in the wall adjacent to the oven housing cabinetry and should
be accessible after installation. If the oven is to be wired into a connector unit this may
be positioned behind the oven providing:–
i. The top of the connector unit is not more than 30cm above the base of the

oven recess – see Fig. 4.

ii. The depth of the connector unit does not reduce the depth of the oven

recess to less than 55cm.

We recommend that 4mm
cooker to the control unit. This power supply cable must conform to BS 6004.

twin and earth PVC insulated cable is used to connect the

Alternatively the mains supply can be taken from a household 13 amp switched fused
spur. Having a minimum contact clearance of 3mm which must be fitted adjacent to the
oven housing cabinetry and accessible after installation. The oven must be fitted with a
3 core cable having a minimum cross sectional area of 1.5mm
BS6500.

The oven must not be connected using a 3 pin 13 amp plug.

Installation Instructions

Any spare cable must be coiled either behind the oven (not more than 30cm above the base
of the oven recess) or pushed into the air gap below the oven after installation.

Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or above an oven a 30 amp or 45 amp double pole switch
with a minimum contact clearance of 3mm should be used to feed both units via separate
suitably rated cables.

Where a hob unit is fitted above the oven unit we recommend that 85oC High Temperature
PVC with insulated 3 core flexible cord to table 15 of BS 6141:1991 with a conductor size of

2.5mm2must be used to connect the hob to the control unit.

Where a hob unit is fitted adjacent to the oven unit, then 4mm2twin and earth cable to BS
6004 is recommended to connect the hob unit to the control unit.

In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 5).

Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your
supply voltage, this is stated on the rating plate which is located on the oven front frame
(lower).

CONDUIT BOX TO MAINS TERMINAL BLOCK

(a) The oven unit should be placed on the floor on its carton base in front of the

housing cabinet. The rear of the unit should be in line with the conduit box.
(b) Ensure there is sufficient cable for any future servicing.
(c) Remove the terminal cover. Prepare the cable, pass it through the cable

entry hole in the oven rear panel and fit to terminal block. Secure the cable clamp and

replace the terminal cover.

4. FINAL INSTALLATION

(a) Using a spirit level, check that the housing cabinet is level from side to side and

from front to back in its installed position.
(b) Correct any unevenness by placing spacers under the bottom of the cabinet. Make sure

that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.
(c) Before the oven is fitted the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing wall

for stability.
(d) The oven unit should now be lifted (this requires two people) into the cabinet

and pushed fully home.
(e) Finally the oven unit must be secured to the cabinet. Position the oven side trims

equally about the cabinet sides. This should give an overlap of approx. 1.5mm per

side (see Fig. 2). Secure the oven unit to the cabinet, through the side trims, by means

of the four screws provided, two each side trim.
(f) Remove all packing material from the grill and oven interior.

THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.

Check

(a) Check
If you find :-

Display is blank.

Then it is likely that there is no electricity supply to your oven.

Check: (i) That the main cooker wall switch is turned on.

(ii) Check other appliances to see if you have a power cut.
(iii) Check the main circuit breaker for the property.
(iv) With the selector switch (A) turned to ‘fan oven’

the oven light does not illuminate.

The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but has
now come back on again. Reset the timer to the correct time of day
(see ‘Clock/Minute Minder’ section).

Operating the cooker under the following conditions may cause a safety
device to operate.

(a) Grilling with the door closed - always grill with the door open to

the correct position - see grilling.

(b) Grilling for an excessively long period at maximum setting -

see grilling guide.

(c) Grilling with inadequate ventilation in the cabinet - see

installation instructions.

Check that the selector switch (A) is set to ‘FAN OVEN’ and that the
temperature control (B) is set to the correct temperature.

Check that you have selected :- ‘GRILL’ function on the Oven/Grill Select
knob (A) and
grilling page).

When the Temperature Control knob (B) is operating at less than "6", the
grill will cycle on and off, this is normal and is not a fault.

A gentle flow of air will be blown from beneath the control panel when
the appliance is used. If the appliance is still warm, this
cooling fan may run on, or restart itself after all of the controls have been
turned off.
The fan will stop once the appliance has been cooled. This is
normal and not a fault.

Buzzer/Bleeper should stop automatically after several minutes.
