DESCRIPTION OF THE COOKER

Built in electric double oven

WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED

Electronic Timer

Dual Grill

Convenience Oven

Fan Oven

Your built in cooker comprises of a conventional oven and dual grill in the top compartment. The top oven is convenient and economical for mid-week use because of its size. The main fan oven is the larger of the two ovens. It is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The main fan oven can be automatically controlled by the electronic timer.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

Your cooker has a cooling fan fitted behind the controls to prevent them from overheating. The cooling fan will come on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when either of the ovens are in use. The cooling fan may cycle on and off when the cooker is in use. This is quite normal.

The cooling fan may run on after the ovens or grill are switched off for a period of time to cool the cooker down. It may continue to switch on and off until the cooker is cool.

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the cooker down before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

NOTE

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the ovens or grill have been used and at what temperature. It may not switch in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on where the grill or oven has only been used for a short time.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens or grill are switched on. In the case of the ovens, the Convenience and Fan oven neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will cycle on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained.

The grill neon does not cycle on and off when the grill is in use.

The Fan oven neon does not operate with the Defrost setting.

If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and re-set following the instructions for the required setting.

BEFORE USING THE COOKER

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The timer must be set to manual operation before the fan oven can be operated. This must be done whenever the cooker is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure. For instructions on how to set the timer see page 11.

If the Fan oven indicator neon does not glow when the oven controls are switched on, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking. The Convenience Oven and the Dual Grill are not controlled by the electronic timer.

RATING PLATE

Record the model, product and serial numbers of your cooker on the back page of this instruction book for future reference. You can find these numbers on the rating plate on the front frame of the cooker upon opening the top oven door. The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on the rating plate.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR COOKER

Wipe over the base of the ovens with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven furniture before use. We suggest that you run all the elements for a short period to burn off any residue from their surfaces. To do this, run the ovens at 220°C for approximately 45 minutes. During this period an unpleasant odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the cooker when opening the oven doors to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the cooker, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker. To prevent discolouration occurring, regularly wipe away condensation and any soilage from the cooker surfaces.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance. Advice on the effect of different materials and finishes of bakeware is given in 'Hints and Tips' in the appropriate oven section.

THE TRIVET

When roasting we recommend that you use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.

Note. The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker.

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

1 trivet

1 meat tin

2 shelves for Fan oven cooking

1 shelf for grilling and Convenience oven cooking

Scuffing of the Stayclean sides and back panel by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks will disappear after the oven has been used for the first time.

THE ELECTRONIC TIMER

The electronic timer can indicate the time of day, operate as a minute minder and automatically time the fan oven.

A Auto Symbol ( automatic cooking )

Bell Symbol ( minute minder ) Cookpot Symbol ( manual cooking )

Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2pm is shown as 14.00.

If this is different to the time you want the food to be cooked by, press the + button within 5 seconds until the correct stop time shows in the display. Our diagram shows the food is to be cooked by 18.00 hours (6pm). After a few seconds the time of day shows in the display and the Cookpot symbol goes out.

The 'Stop' time must not be more than 23 hours 59 minutes from the time of day. For example, if the time of day is 09.00 hours (9.00am) the latest 'Stop' time will be 08.59 (8.59am) the next day.

5.Turn the fan oven control to the correct temperature.

The clock will work out what time the oven will switch itself on and will switch the oven off at the end. An audible signal will sound when cooking is complete. To cancel the sound, see below.

THE DUAL GRILL

WARNING - Accessible parts become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away.

USES OF THE GRILL

The grill is situated in the Convenience oven compartment. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill or the centre section only can be used. Use the full grill for cooking larger quantities of food. Use the centre section for economy purposes when cooking smaller quantities.

DUAL GRILL

HOW TO USE THE DUAL

1.Open the Grill / Convenience Oven door.

2. Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or

anticlockwise for the centre section only.

3.Ensure the Convenience Oven control is in

the Off position '0'.

The grill door must be left open when grilling.

GRILL

THINGS TO NOTE

The cooling fan for the controls will operate

as soon as the grill control is turned. For

more information on the operation of the

cooling fan turn to page 7.

The outer section of the grill element may

appear to glow brighter than the inner

section. This is quite normal.

The grill indicator neon will illuminate.

You can use the grill pan on the shelf in

positions 3 and 5 only.

If you use the grill pan in position 3 the shelf

must be withdrawn before the pan can be

located or removed.

CONVENIENCE OVEN

5 4 3 2 1

Ensure the grill pan is properly located.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan has a removable handle. To insert the handle, press the button on the

handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.

Ensure the handle is positively located.

To remove the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to remove from the bracket.

Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handle.

Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf.

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.

Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is withdrawn.

HINTS AND TIPS

Most foods should be placed on the grilling

grid in the grill pan. This allows maximum

circulation of air by raising the food out of fats

and juices. Foods such as fish, liver and

kidneys may be placed directly on the trivet in

the grill pan if preferred.

Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to

allow for different thicknesses of food.

Position the food close to the element for

faster cooking and further away for more

gentle cooking.
