BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the door.
Alterna tivel y the rat ing pl ate may also be found on t he
back or top of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as
this may invalidate the guarantee.

PREPARING TO USE YO UR APPL I ANC E

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth and
hot soapy water and wash the furniture before use. We
suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15
minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their
surfaces. The procedure should be repeated with the
grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
During this period and odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHI NG O N

The oven has a 24 hour clock. When the oven is first
switched on at the wall the electronic display will
automatically show 12.00 and the 'Time' ( ) neon
will also flash.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is
switched on and after a short time when the oven is in
use. It runs on after the controls are switched off until
the appliance has cooled. During the initial period the
cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

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

CONTROL PANEL I N DI CA TO R NEO N(S )

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator
neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon
does not operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls
to zero and reset following the instructions for the
required setting.

8

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling
kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to escape.
However, always stand back from the appliance when
opening the door(s) 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 appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and
produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not
caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from 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.

HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING
FOOD

Care must be taken when handling foods in the home.
Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent
bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination
when preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting
and freezing foods:-

1. Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you cannot

store them straight away. The use of an insulated
container when shopping is advisable.

2. When you arrive home, place perishable foods in the

refrigerator or freezer immediately. Ensure they are
well covered to prevent them drying out and to
prevent any possible cross contamination with
bacteria from raw to cooked foods.

3. In the kitchen keep work tops, chopping boards and

utensils clean with hot soapy water between
preparation stages. Ideally, keep one chopping board
for raw meat and another for other foods. Keep your
dish cloths and tea towels clean.

Energy save mode

Your timer has an energy save mode which allows you to
switch the display off.

By switching off the time display you can save energy.

Switching off the time display

Press and hold any two buttons until the display
switches off.

Switching on the time display

Press any button to switch on the display.

The display can only be switched off if none of

THE DUAL GRILL

WARNING – Accessible parts may become hot

when the grill is in use. Keep children away.

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full
area of the grill can be used, or for economy purposes,
the centre section only can be used when cooking
smaller quantities of food.

USING THE DUAL GRILL

•

To operate the grill turn the top oven/grill function

selector to full grill.

•

Turn the top oven/grill function selector to centre

section only.

•

Turn the top oven/grill temperature control knob to

the right as far as it will go. This is the hottest

setting.

•

To use the grill at lower settings, turn the

temperature control knob to 100°C or 150°C.

The grill door must be left open when grilling.

THINGS TO NOTE

•

The oven light will illuminate.

•

The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

•

The dual grill operates independently of the oven.

Ensure the grill pan is properly located.

THE GRILL PAN AND HA ND L E

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

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

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

12

HINTS AND TIPS

•

Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill

pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the

food out of the fats and juices.

•

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.

•

Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to

minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish

lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them

moist during cooking.

•

Accompaniments such as tomatoes and

mushrooms may be placed around the outer

edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats.

•

When toasting bread, we suggest that the top

runner position is used with the grid in its 'high'

position.

•

When using the centre section grill, ensure food is

placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath

the grill element.

•

Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to

seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting

and the shelf position as necessary during

cooking.

•

The food should be turned over during cooking as

required

THE TOP OVEN

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is
heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven.
It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It
gives especially good results if used to cook fruit
cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use
the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use the
lowest setting on the top oven temperature con trol.

USING THE TOP OVEN

•

Turn the top oven/grill function selector to.

•

Turn the top oven/grill temperature control to the
required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

•

The oven light will illuminate.

•

The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and
OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.

•

The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time.

TO FIT THE TO P O VE N SHE L F

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven.
To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the
shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so that
the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear. To
install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf
position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure
the shelf is placed between these two support wires.

Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on
the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage will occur.

14

HINTS AND TIPS

•

Arrange the shelf in the required position before
switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are
counted from the bottom upwards.

•

There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)
between the top of the food and the element. This
gives best cooking results and allows room for rise
in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When
cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread etc., place
the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.

•

Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf
and there is sufficient room around the baking
tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.

•

Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the
shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to
help reduce cleaning.

•

The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes used will affect the degree of base
browning. Enamelware, da rk, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium
or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and
give less base browning.

•

Do not

place baking trays directly on the oven
base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf
position.

•

Because of the smaller cooking space and lower
temperatures, shorter cooking times are
sometimes required.

•

For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into a
pre-heated oven.

Do not place cookware and cooking pots with
rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as
damage to the glass may occur.

THE MAIN OVEN

The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger
quantities of food.

The advantages of fan oven cooking are:

PREHEATING

The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is
not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without
preheating however, you may find you need to add an
extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking
times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g.
bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are
achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results
when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals
always preheat the oven first.

COOKI N G TEM PE RA TUR E S

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the
temperatures recommended in the cooking chart. As
a guide reduce temperatures by about 20C° - 25°C for
your own recipes, using a conventional oven.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially
useful when batch baking.

USING THE MAIN OVEN

•

Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

•

The oven light will illuminate.

•

The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and
OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.

•

The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time.

•

The oven fan will operate.

•

If an automatic programme has been set, the oven
fan and light do not come on until cooking begins.

TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven.
To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the
shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so that
the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear. To
install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf
position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure
the shelf is placed between these two support wires.

17

hints and tips

•

Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are
counted from the bottom upwards.

•

When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on different shelves rather
than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will
allow the heat to circulate freely for the best
cooking results.

•

When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.

•

It is recommended that when baking larger
quantities the shelf positions should be evenly
spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight
increase in cooking time may be necessary.

•

Do not

place baking trays directly on the oven
base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf
position.

Do not place cookware and cooking pots with
rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as
damage to the glass may occur.

DEFROST FEATURE

This fan oven function defrosts most foods faster than
more conventional methods. It is particularly suitable
for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold
e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or
frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc.

USING DEFROST F EA TURE

•

Turn the main oven temperature control to the
defrost setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

•

The oven fan and internal oven light will come on.

•

The cooling fan does not operate.

HINTS AND TIPS

•

Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.

•

The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.

•

It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry
slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be
accelerated by using the defrost function. Small or
thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or
minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be
thawed in 1 – 2 hours.

•

A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in
approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as
soon as possible during the thawing process.

•

Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be
thawed using the defrost function.

•

All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed
thoroughly before cooking.

•

Always cook thoroughly immediately after thawing.

•

Do not

leave food at room temperature once it is
defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled.

•

Care must always be taken when handling foods in
the home. Always follow the basic rules of food
hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and cross
contamination when defrosting, preparing,
cooking, cooling and freezing foods.

21

CARE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to
cool the appliance down before switching off at
the electricity supply.

CLEANING MATERIALS

Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
and scourers should also be avoided as damage will
occur.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE

Do not

use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob Brite,
Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as
damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, doors and
handles using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To
prevent streaking finish with a soft cloth.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should
be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.

spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off
immediately.

Do not attempt to remove any of the control
knobs from the appliance as this may cause
damage and is a safety hazard.

Under no circumstances should the door
assembly be detached from the product for
cleaning.

Any

REMOVING AND REPL AC I NG W IREWORK
RUNNERS

Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven.

Hold the wirework at the bottom, unclip from the cavity
side and gently pull towards the centre of the oven.

Unhook the runner at the top and remove from the
cavity.

To replace the runners, hook the wirework side runner
into the cavity, slide back and press into place.

Ensure the wirework runners are firmly in
position before replacing the oven shelves.

22

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVENS

The sides and back of the grill/top oven and main oven
compartments are coated with a special Stayclean
coating. They should not be cleaned manually.

The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill
compartment base can be cleaned using normal oven
cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers
instructions are followed and that all parts are well
rinsed afterwards.

Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact
with elements or the door seal as this may
cause damage.

HINTS AND TIPS

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean
surfaces.

Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.

It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per
week to ens ure continued g ood performan ce from the
Stayclean finish.

Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean
surfaces may occur in time. This

DOES NOT

affect the

Stayclean properties in any way.

Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat,
potatoe s only re quire bru shing wi th fat before co oking.
Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase
splashing and soilage.

It is NOT necessary to add water to a meat tin when
roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint
create excessive splattering during cooking – even at
normal temperatures, as well as causing condensation.

Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the
covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra
browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys
especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing
the joint to cook through before the outside is over-
browned.

23

CLEANING THE DOOR(S)

To prevent damaging or weakening the door
glass panels avoid the use of the following:

•

House ho l d de te rg en ts an d ble a c he s

•

Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans

•

Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

•

Chemical oven pads or aerosols

•

Rust removers

•

Bath/Sink st ain removers

The outer oven door glass panels are removable for
cleaning.

TO REMOVE THE OUTER DOOR GLASS

1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the

two cross head screws on the top of the oven door.

2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive

screwdriver.

3. Holding the door glass securely in place with one

hand remove the screws and washers with the
other hand.

The screws and washers retain the trim on the top

4. Holding the door and glass with one hand, gently

pull towards you and slightly lift the door glass with
the other hand to disengage the panel from the
location point at the bottom of the door. Gently
release the door to close it.

5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy

water or Hob Brite. Should the inner face of the
outer door glass be heavily soiled it is
recommended that soapy water with a high
concentration of soap is used. To prevent streaking
a glass cleaning spray may be applied and the
glass polished with a soft cloth. Ensure that all
parts are thoroughly dry before attempting to
replace the outer door glass.

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scr atche s th e gl ass w ill be weak ened an d

THINGS TO NOTE

•

This appliance is designed to be fitted in cabinets
of the recommended dimensions as shown (Fig.3).

•

If your cabinet interior dimension is between 565-
570mm the oven may still be fitted. However, a
minor modification to the cabinet will be required
to reduce the aperture size down to 560-565 mm,
to allow the product to be securely screwed into
the cabinet.

•

The dimensions given provide adequate air
circulation around the unit within the cabinet,
ensuring compliance with BS EN60-335.

•

Enquiries regarding the installation of the cooker
point, if required, should be made to your Regional
Electricity Company to ensure compliance with
their regulations.

•

The appliance socket switch should be outside the
cabinet but within 2m of the appliance to make it
accessible to switch off the appliance in case of an
emergency.

•

To protect the hands, wear gloves when lifting the
oven into its housing.

Do not lift the appliance by the handles.

and re-checked after fitting.

31

CHOICE OF EL E CTR IC A L CONN ECTION

•

There are three possible ways to connect your
appliance. In each case the appliance should be
operated using at least 6mm
PVC insulated. Please choose from the most
appropriate after reading the different methods:-

a) By connecting the appliance to a cooker point

(having a double pole isolating switch with at least
3mm contact separation in all poles and neutral)
and protected with a fuse or miniature circuit
breaker at your mains fuse box.

Subject to Regional Electricity Companies
regulations if you wish to connect the oven
and hob to the power supply you may use
one of the following two methods:-

b) By connecting the appliance together with a hob

directly to a cooker point(s). Having a double pole
isolating switch with at least 3mm contact
separation in all poles and neutral.

c) If you wish to connect an oven and a hob to a

cooker point you can by connecting the oven and
hob separately to the cooker point. Oven and hob
units should be separately connected to a cooker
point. See Fig. 2.

NOTE:

It is good practice to :

•

Fit an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker to your house
wiring.

•

Wire your appliance to the latest IEE regulations.

PREPARING CABINET FOR FITTING OF
OVEN

•

Make sure that the cabinet is the correct size for
the appliance to be fitted (Ref. Fig. 3).

•

If the size is between 565-570mm, then the
cabinet should be modified so that at the screw
fixing points the recommended dimension of at
least 560-565mm is maintained. The modification
should ideally be localised to ensure that after
