IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please note the cooling fan fitted to this appliance is an integral part of its safety
and functionality.
When the appliance is installed care must be taken that the cooling fans performance is not impeded by any objects coming into contact with it. (Installation
pipes, leads etc)
Care must also be taken that there is sufficient air flow at the rear of the appliance
for the cooling fan to run at its optimum efficiency. (Particularly Built In appliances)
See clearance dimensions in the installation section of the booklet.
During use the Appliance must never be disconnected from the Mains supply as
this will seriously affect the safety and performance of the appliance, particularly
in relation to surface temperatures becoming hot and gas operated parts not working efficiently.
The cooling fan is designed to run on after the control knob has been switched off
to keep the front of the appliance and the controls cool until the appliance has naturally cooled itself.

Using the Grill
Using the grill
The temperature of the grill is variable,
and can be adjusted by turning the
grill control to the required setting.
Grilling can also be adjusted by
selecting a higher or lower shelf
position, or by adjusting the trivet
position, as detailed below;
For toasting, and for grilling foods
such as bacon, sausages or
steaks, use a higher shelf position.
For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces, use a middle
to low shelf position.
The grill trivet inside the grill pan
can be inverted to give a high or
low position, or it may be removed
altogether for items such as fish,
which can be grilled on the grill
pan base.
Alternatively, foods can be grilled
in a suitably heatproof dish.
For toasting, use the highest trivet
position.
The lower trivet position is useful
for grilling all types of meat or fish.
With trivet removed the food can
be placed directly on the base of
the grill pan - eg; when cooking
whole fish, or browning dishes
such as cauliflower cheese.
Push the grill pan to the back of the
shelf, to position it under the centre of
the grill.
Never allow fat to build up in the grill
pan, as this creates a fire hazard.
For best results, preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes before use.
When you have finished grilling,
check that both of the control
knobs are returned to the “off”
position.
Aluminium foil
Using aluminium foil to cover the grill
pan, or putting items wrapped in foil
under the grill creates a fire hazard,
and the high reflectivity can damage
the grill element.

Using the Top Oven
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the oven is used,
young children should be kept
away.
The top oven is a conventional electric
oven.
To switch on the top oven
Turn the top oven control knob
clockwise to the desired temperature.
Note: The red thermostat indicator will
come on until the selected temperature
is reached and then go off. It will
turn on and off periodically as the
thermostat operates to maintain the
selected temperature.
To switch off, return the control to the
“” off position.
Top oven light
The top oven light will come on when
the top oven is switched on.
Notes
Caution: The top element gets
extremely hot when in use, so take
extra care to avoid touching it.
Important: Never put items
directly on the base of the oven or
cover the oven base with foil, as
this may cause the element to
overheat. Always position items
on the shelf.
Top heat only
Turn the top oven selector past the
oven temperature markings to the top
heat symbol. This setting can be used
to brown the top of dishes such as cauliflower cheese or baked alaska.
Preheating
We recommend preheating the oven
for frozen or chilled food and also for
soufflés, batter mixtures and yeast
mixtures.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time, this
will take up to 20 minutes depending
of the temperature selected.

Using the Top Oven
Important:
Top oven baking guide
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven(s).
When opening the oven door, care
should be taken to avoid any possible
contact with potentially hot air, since

The cooking times given in the following
guide are based on a preheated oven,
if you don’t preheat the oven the cooking
times may need to be extended.
this may cause discomfort to people
with sensitive skin. We recommend
that you hold the underneath of the
oven door handle.
Cooking temperatures
Because the top oven is more compact
it may be necessary to reduce the
cooking temperatures specified in
recipes by up to 20˚C. Use the
following guide as a reference for
determining temperatures to use.

Using the Main Oven
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the oven is used,
young children should be kept
away.
The main oven is a fanned electric
oven.
To switch on the oven
Turn the main oven control knob clockwise to the selected temperature.
Note: The red thermostat indicator will
come on until the selected temperature
is reached and then go off. It will
turn on and off periodically as the
thermostat operates to maintain the
selected temperature.
To switch off, return the control to the
“” off position.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen and chilled food, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges, otherwise preheating is not
necessary,as a fan oven warmsup quickly.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
neon switches off for the first time; this
will take between 5 - 15 minutes,
depending on the temperature selected.
To help the air to circulate freely
Position the shelves evenly within
the oven and maintain a clearance
from the oven roof and base.
If more than one cooking dish or
baking tray is to be used on a shelf
leave a gap of at least 25mm
between the items themselves and
the oven interior.
Allow enough space between shelves
for food that will rise during cooking.
Do not place items on the oven
base as this will prevent air from
circulating freely.
Do not line the shelves with foil, or
non stick liners.
Notes
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven(s). When opening the oven
door, care should be taken to avoid
any possible contact with potentially
hot air, since this may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin. We
recommend that you hold the underneath of the oven door handle.

Using the Main Oven
Cooking with a fan oven
If you are used to cooking with a
conventional oven, you will find a
number of difference to cooking with a
fan oven, which will require a different
approach:
There are no zones of heat in a
fan oven, the convection fan at the
back of the oven ensures an even
temperature throughout the oven; this
makes it ideal for batch baking - eg;
when planning a party or stocking the
freezer, as all item will be cooked
within the same length of time.
Cooking times will generally be shorter
- by between 5 - 10 minutes per hour than those times given in recipe books
for conventional cooking.
We recommend preheating the oven
for frozen of chilled food, and also for
soufflés, batter mixtures and yeast
mixtures. Preheat the oven until the
indicator light switches off for the first
time, this will take between 5 to 15
minutes depending on the temperature
selected.
There is no flavour transference in a
fan oven, which means you can cook
strong smelling foods such as fish, at
the same time as mild foods - eg; milk
puddings.
Foods are cooked at a lower
temperature (between 10˚C and 20˚C
lower) than a conventional oven, so
conventional recipe temperatures may
have to be reduced.
Defrosting and cooling
To defrost frozen foods, turn the
oven control to the defrost position,
place the food in the centre of the oven
and close the door.
To cool foods after cooking, prior to
refrigerating or freezing, turn the oven
control to the defrost position, and
open the door.
Be safe
Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this
method. Do not defrost larger joints of
meat and poultry over 2kg / 4lb using
this method.
Never place uncooked food for
defrosting next to cooked food which
is to be cooled, as this can lead to
cross contamination.
Defrosting meat, poultry and fish can
be accelerated using this method, but
make sure they are completely thawed
before cooking thoroughly.
Place meat and poultry on a trivet in a
meat tin.
Defrosting times
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or
meat - eg; fish fillets, prawns and mince,
will take approximately 1 - 2 hours.
Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
A medium sized casserole or stew will
take approximately 3 - 4 hours.
1
⁄2kg / 3lb oven ready chicken will
A 1
take approximately 5 hours - remove
the giblets as soon as possible.

Oven furniture
Using the Ovens
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even
browning, the maximum size baking
trays and roasting tins that should be
used are as follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 280mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to
16 small cakes.
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
We recommend that you use good
quality cookware. Poor quality trays
and tins may warp when heated,
leading to uneven baking results.
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned
towards the rear of the oven, with the
upstand facing upwards.
Position baking trays and roasting tins
on the middle of the shelves, and leave
one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.
Slow cooking ( )
Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly THAWED before cooking.

Preheat the oven to 170˚C and cook
for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven
control to the (slow cook setting)
for the remainder of the cooking time.
Slow cooking times will be about 3
times as long as conventional cooking
times.
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily during slow cooking, as this will
result in heat loss at low temperatures.
Always use dishes with tightly fitting
lids. To rectify badly fitting lids, place
foil over the dish underneath the lid
Aluminium foil
Use foil only to cover food or cooking
dishes. Do not use foil to cover the
shelves or oven base, as this creates a
fire hazard.
