Using the Oven
The oven is fitted with 'Credaclean' liners and two rod shelves. To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise, selecting the required temperature between 80˚C (170˚F) and 230˚C (450˚F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature. It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal. The correct positioning of food is indicated in the temperature charts on pages 15 and 16 .
Oven Cookery Notes
The Charts on pages 15 and 16 are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C.
TO PREPARE MEAT FOR ROASTING IN YOUR ELECTRIC OVEN
Wipe the joint, dry well with a clean cloth, kitchen tissue, etc., and weigh it. Meat which has been stored in a refrigerator, should be allowed to come to room temperature for approximately 30 minutes before cooking, and similarly meat stored in a freezer must be completely thawed before­hand. Beef, lamb and mutton may be lightly floured, but pork should have the rind scored, brushed over lightly with olive oil, and sprinkled with salt – this gives crisp crackling. Place joint in meat pan (small joints weighing less than 1.5kg (3lbs) should be roasted in a smaller pan/meat tin, or they may be 'pot roasted' – a small joint in a large meat pan causes unnessary Additional fat should not be used, except for veal, very lean meat, poultry, which can either be 'larded' with fat bacon, or brushed over very sparingly with melted fat/cooking oil. When potatoes are to be roasted round the joint, they only require to be coated in melted fat/cooking oil. It is not necessary to baste, when roasting in an electric oven, and liquid/stock should not be added to the meat pan.
oven splashing).
IMPORTANT Basic principles of food handling and hygiene must be followed to
prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

Oven Cookery Notes
TIMES AND TEMPERATURES FOR ROASTING
The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast it too quickly at too high a temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried out at a low temperature. When a lower temperature is used, joint loses less weight, is more tender (too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry), and the splashing fat onto oven interior is reduced to a minimum. When a complete meal is being cooked in the oven, cooking time may need to be for approximately the last 30 minutes of the cooking period (for instance when cooking Yorkshire pudding to serve with roast beef). The suggested times and temperatures given on page 14 should be used as a guide but may vary according to:–
1. Whether you prefer meat rare, medium or well done.
2. The size and shape of your joint. a) A short thick joint requires a longer cooking period than a long thin joint. b) A small joint under 1.5kg (3lbs) takes longer per 450g (1lb) than a large one,
whereas a large joint over 3kg (6lbs) will cook in the time given for 'minutes' per 450g (1lb) without the 'minutes' over added.
c) Boned/rolled and stuffed joints take longer to cook through than those without a
bone. (The weight of stuffing should be added to the oven ready weight of
meat/poultry to calculate roasting times).

Should you require any advice concerning cooking with your new cooker, our Home Economics Department is always available to advise if you write to:–
Ensure that the grill is not set to too high a setting.
Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelf and adjusting, using suitable packing, e.g. wood, under the feet of the appliance. This should be checked both left to right and front to back.
The following may cause cakes to sink:
1. Cooking at too high a temperature.
2. Using normal creaming method with soft margarine.
Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in the oven temperature charts, however, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C to suit personal taste. Do not use utensils greater than 75mm 3" in height, for roasting.

Care and Cleaning
Regular cleaning is recommended to keep white cookers in its best possible condition.
Turn OFF the main control unit and allow the cooker to cool before cleaning. Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF position.
'CREDACLEAN' OVEN LINERS AND HOW THEY WORK
The surfaces of the 'Credaclean' oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220oC (425oF) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature, the more effective it is. In most cases normal cooking operations at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly, it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without a meat pan, at a higher temperature setting of 230oC (450oF) for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a month or every two or three months depending on the type and amount of oven cooking.
OVEN SIDES
It should not normally be necessary to clean the 'Credaclean' panels. If the user feels it is desirable to do so, pull out the rod shelves, lift up and remove the side panels before washing them in warm soapy water, and rinsing in clear water.
Do
not use
chemical cleaners of any kind.

VITREOUS ENAMEL HOB SURROUND
Clean with a cloth wrung out in soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing with liberally soaped, very fine steel wool pads. Check that the cleaning agent used is approved by the Vitreous Enamel Development Council.
Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hotplates as these can hold condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental operation with a cover in place can cause intense corrosion.
heat. Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause
SEALED HOTPLATES
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a soap filled scouring pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed. Finally, turn on heater to warm for a few minutes, then smear with a little cooking oil to provide a protective coating, or a restorative agent such as Collo-Electrol®. This is available from Creda Spares Department.
CONTROL PANEL AND SPLASHBACK
Wipe over the control panel and/or splashback with a damp cloth. Polish with a dry cloth. Do not use oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.

Care and Cleaning
OVEN INTERIOR
Refer to the instructions on page 18 for cleaning the 'Credaclean'panels.
Remove the rod shelves for washing at the sink. Use a fine steel wool soap pad for removing stubborn stains from the rod shelves and floor of the oven. Take care during cleaning not to damage, bend of dislodge from the supporting clips the thermostat phial which is across the back of the oven just below the roof.
OVEN DOOR
Wipe over the door outer panel with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch the surface.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seal. Do not lift the door seal from the oven front frame, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips. Be sure to replace the oven door seal before using the appliance.
DECORATIVE TRIMS / SIDE PANELS
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims / side panels regularly to prevent any build up of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the Cooker. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in normal use), then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clean water, dry with a soft clean cloth.

SITING
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 500mm apart minimum. The space either side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing. It can be used with cabinets one side or both as well as in an angled corner setting. It can also be used free-standing.
Adjacent side walls which project above hob level, should be protected by heat resistant material, but in any case should not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm. Any overhanging surface should not be nearer than 500mm.
Excess steam from the oven is expelled at the rear of the cooker, therefore the wall behind the cooker needs to be protected against grease and moisture.
This is a type X appliance regarding protection against overheating of surrounding surfaces.
MOVING THE COOKER
Before moving your cooker ensure that it is cool and note that it is heavy. Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows: Open the oven door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof.
