INTRODUCTION

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the 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.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR APPLIANCE

We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15 minutes at 220 surfaces. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

C to burn off any residue from their

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled.

The cooling fan may operate after a time when the fan oven is in use. This will depend on the temperature setting and the length of time the oven has been in use.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched on.

The neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will turn on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained.

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.

COOKWARE

ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the oven door 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, including the vent at the rear of the hob.

For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

Baking trays, oven 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

THE GAS HOB

SELECTING THE HOB

USES OF THE HOB

The gas hob has three different burner sizes to suit different types of cooking:

To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner size used.

Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips.

Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking.

Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods such as soups and stews.

The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").

Warning: If the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of gas may cause the flame to spread.

If you close the lid of the appliance while any of the hotplate burners are lit, the gas will go out. This is because it would be dangerous if the burners stayed on when the lid was closed.

Always use the control knob to turn off a burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off device. This will only cut off the gas when the lid is closed. The gas will flow again when the lid is opened.

Ensure the pan supports are correctly fitted before using the hob.

See page 21.

TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS

The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark system.

1. Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hob when the lid is down.

2. Push in and turn the control knob to the left to the highest setting. This is shown by a large flame symbol. Press the ignition button immediately.

3. When the burner has lit release the control and adjust the setting as required.

TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER

1. Turn the control knob to the off position. This is shown by a large dot.

When lighting any burner, ensure that it is lit before you leave the appliance.

When turning off a burner, ensure the flame has gone out before leaving the appliance.

THINGS TO NOTE

If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner turn all the hob controls off and make sure the burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 21 for more information.

HEAT CONTROL

The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings. These are shown as a large and a small flame symbol.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Keep flames under the base of pans. If the

flames lick round the sides of the pan you are wasting gas.

· Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.

· Do not use pans with very heavy handles which

cause the pan to tip.

· Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable

than pans which are warped.

· Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping

board. This could damage the glass and reduce its strength.

Place pans on the centre of the burners.

Position pans so the handles cannot be accidentally knocked or overhang the appliance.

Lift pans on and off the pan supports.

Do not slide them across the hob.

· Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or

removable parts. The spillage should be wiped up and the parts washed and carefully dried as soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts are cool enough to touch. See page 21 for full cleaning instructions.

· Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. Food

will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen.

· A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan

supports. If you use a round Wok with a collar support, the collar must be the open wirework type otherwise the performance of the burner will be affected.

Take care to avoid burns and scalds when reaching across the hotplate.

Take extra care when deep fat frying, do not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames. Never put water on the fire. Leave to cool for 30 minutes.

THE GRILL

USES OF THE GRILL

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

SELECTING THE GRILL

· To operate the grill open the grill door and turn

the Top Oven/Grill control to the required setting.

· The Top Oven/Grill neon will illuminate. It may

turn on and off during cooking.

· At lower settings the grill may turn on and off

over time and you may prefer to use these settings for keeping food warm.

THINGS TO NOTE

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING GRILLING. IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED THE TOP OVEN WILL OPERATE.

· The cooling fan will operate. For more details

about the cooling fan see page 5.

· Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

· The top oven cannot be operated when the grill

is in use.

· The inner grill element may appear to glow

slightly brighter than the outer element. This is quite normal.

Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.

To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.

Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.

· To check the progress of the food being grilled,

the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.

NOTE:

If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.

The times quoted above are given as a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste.

THE TOP OVEN

USES OF 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 a temperature setting of 80°C - 100°C on the top oven control.

SELECTING THE TOP OVEN

· To operate the top oven turn the temperature

control to the required setting. Our diagram shows the oven set to 160°C. Close the oven door.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The grill cannot be operated if the top oven is in use. Only the outer part of the top oven element in conjunction with the base element will operate when using the top oven.

2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.

3. The cooling fan will operate. For more details about the cooling fan see page 5.

4. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm. Never place dishes directly on the top oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Most cooking should be carried out using an

oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.

· DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly

onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

· Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be

cooked in the main fan oven. However, they may be cooked on a straight shelf placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food.

· Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on

the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.

· 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.

· The material and finish of the baking trays and

dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food. Enamelware, dark, 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 use the grill pan as a baking tray as

this will increase base browning of the food.

· Because of the smaller cooking space, lower

temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations on page 18.

· For economy leave the door open for the

shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.

· When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc.,

place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf directly below the element.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN

USES OF THE MAIN FAN OVEN

The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. 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.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperature recommended in the chart on page 18. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 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.

SELECTING THE MAIN FAN OVEN

· Turn the main fan oven temperature control to

the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The main fan oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.

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. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

2. The interior oven light will come ON when the main oven control is turned.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Arrange the shelves in the required positions

before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are numbered 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.

· The use of excessively high temperatures can

cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the recommendations given in the oven cooking chart on page 18.

OVEN COOKING CHART

The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat. However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints.

Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking time.

DEFROST FEATURE

USES OF DEFROST FEATURE

This main 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.

It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function.

SELECTING DEFROST

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.

· Turn the main oven temperature control to the

defrost setting.

· When defrost is selected, the oven indicator

neon may come ON. It will stay ON until the oven reaches room temperature and then go OFF.

· It may turn ON and OFF periodically during

defrosting to maintain a steady room temperature, inside the oven.

THINGS TO NOTE

Care must always 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 defrosting, preparing, cooking, cooling and freezing foods.

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.

· 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 AND CLEANING

BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE, ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF 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 must also be avoided to prevent damaging the stainless steel or painted finishes. See 'Cleaning the Outside of the Appliance' on page 22.

CLEANING THE HOB

The hotplate

Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Cif'. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not light.

You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes.

If any food spills during cooking you can place the pan on another burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts and clean them before the spill 'burns on'.

Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water. You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filed pad such as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time.

Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks using a mild abrasive like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'.

After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them thoroughly before you put them back.

WHEN REPLACING HOTPLATE BURNER PARTS

1. Crown to body

(Do not try to force the crown on to the body). Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the electrode. Check that the two longer location pegs sit in the slots in the body. When the crown is in this position let it fall freely on to the body. Check that the crown can be moved slightly from side to side.

2. Cap to crown

Place cap centrally on the top of crown (enamel side up). Move sideways and front to back to check the cap is properly fitted.

3. Check for ignition

If a burner will not light then you need to check the crown and cap positions.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

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, oven doors and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking on stainless steel models finish with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the

stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.

Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.

All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.

The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning easier.

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL COMPARTMENTS

The sides and back of the main oven compartment are coated with Stayclean enamel.

The Stayclean surfaces inside the oven should not be cleaned manually. See ‘Care of Stayclean Surfaces’.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

CLEANING THE PLATED HANDLES

(Where Applicable) It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE SURFACE FINISH.

The vitreous enamel grill compartment and the fan oven 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 be used on the Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with the elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.

CARE OF 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 ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surfaces IS

NOT recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used.

· Slight discolouration and polishing of the

Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.

· A good time to allow the oven to run on is after

the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour or so. It is important NOT to allow a buildup of soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean surfaces from working.

· Follow the recommendations below to keep

oven soilage to a minimum.

CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS

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

· Household detergents and bleaches

· Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-

stick saucepans

· Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

· Chemical oven pads or aerosols

· Rust removers

· Bath/Sink stain removers

CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS

The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.

· Cook at the recommended temperatures.

Higher temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an increased length of time, you will save energy and often the joint is more tender.

· Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting

meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking. 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.

TO REMOVE THE OUTER 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.

Please note that the door glass on your product may differ in type and shape from that shown in the diagram.

3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand.

4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you, lift slightly to disengage the locators from the two bottom brackets.

5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Hob Brite cleaner may be used with care. DO NOT use Hob Brite on the Stainless Steel or painted finishes. DO NOT try to clean the foil which is inside the door. The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is damaged it will not work. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the outer door panel.

TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS

1. Holding the oven glass with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door.

2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.

3. Hold the panel in place with one hand and insert the cross head screws into the location holes with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure.

4. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive

screwdriver before closing the oven door.

Do not attempt to use the oven without the glass being in place.

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Please contact your local Service Force Centre who will be pleased to advise further.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB

The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1 (Available through your local Service Force Centre).

CAUTION

FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING THE BULB.

Open the door and remove the shelves to enable easy access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat blade screwdriver between the oven side and glass which covers the bulb.

Support the glass with your hand and prise out sufficiently to release the glass cover. Unscrew the bulb in an anticlockwise direction until it is possible to remove the bulb with ease.

Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise direction until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the flange is pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the glass by pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the bulb assembly.

Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary.

: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE

TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR PANELS

Clean the inner glass door panels using a soft cloth and hot water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. If the inner panel is heavily soiled, Hob Brite may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials on the door glass. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the glass.
