INTRODUCTION

Your new cooker is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only
applicable if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation
instructions detailed in this booklet.

To help make best use of your cooking equipment,
please read this booklet carefully.

The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be
accepted for use in any other installation.

Note: When the cooker is first used, an odour may be emitted - this will cease after a
short period of use

To help remove the 'new' smell, heat up the empty oven(s) to maximum for a
minimum of two to three hours keeping the oven doors closed. Ensure that the room is
well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may
be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed
from the room until the smell has ceased.
This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and also any
moisture absorbed by the insulation.

* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:

(a) Has been used solely in accordance with the Users Instruction Book.
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the

rating plate attached to this equipment.

Slow Cooking

Note: It is advisable to check that all oven controls have been switched off after you
have finished using the appliance.

The oven has a “Slow Cook Setting” this can be used for slow cooking, keep­ing food warm and / or warming plates for a short period. Turn oven control
(A) to 90˚C

OVEN TIMER OPERATION

Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the oven
can be used.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer.

HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.

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

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

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

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

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

7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay
period.

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

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

10. 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.

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

12. 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.

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

14. Only reheat food once.

GRILLING PROCEDURE

A

❍❍

Note: DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the grill is in use as

the surfaces get extremely hot.

Step 1 Ensure oven timer is set to manual.

Step 2 Turn knob (A) clockwise to full or half grill function.

NOTE: Resistance will be felt when turning from fan oven operation to
full / half grill position.

Step 3 Turn knob (B) clockwise to select the Grill Setting (1–6).

NOTE: When using the grill, a gentle flow of air will be detected coming
from beneath the control panel.

Step 4 After use, turn both controls A & B to their off (0) position and close

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. Creda have developed a Solar Plus
high speed grill which 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
beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solar Plus grill can be used directly from cold without
any pre-heat. However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by preheating the grill
for about 1 minute.
You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops you from touching
live parts, so under no circumstances should objects be inserted into the mesh. 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.
Do not line the grill pan with aluminium foil, as this increases the amount of fat spitting.
Ensure that the grill pan is cleaned after use. Excess fat build up in the bottom of the pan could
cause a fire hazard.

After use, always return both controls to their OFF (O) position.

Ensure the oven shelf is in the correct position (see Guide to Grilling
Successfully).

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 “pre­heating”, “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 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.

Food or utensils should ne
for cooking as air circulation is restricted.

DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the oven is in use as the surfaces get
extremely hot.

OVEN UTENSILS

ver be placed directly on the floor of the oven

Fan

Oven

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

An additional oven shelf can be purchased from your oven supplier if a third one is
required for batch baking. Never use more than three shelves in the oven as air
circulation will be seriously 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.

USING THE OVEN FOR FAN COOKING

FAN OVEN OPERATION

Oven

A

❍❍

Step 1 Ensure oven timer is set to manual.

Ensure that the oven shelf is in the correct position.
Place food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.

Step 2 Turn knob (A) clockwise and select the required cooking temperature .

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 control (A) to its Off (O) position.

NOTE: At the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of
steam when the door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly
normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

19

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS

E

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.

“SLOW” SETTING

90

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.

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 (slow cooking temperature).

90

E

STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:

1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container

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 necessary, in order to prevent

MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS

AND REAR PANEL

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.

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 15 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

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 2.5mm
must 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.
