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.

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.

this may cause discomfort to people
with sensitive skin. We recommend
that you hold the underneath of the
oven door handle.

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.

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.

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 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.

Using the Ovens
Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens
can vary over time, therefore cooking
times can vary, making it difficult to be
precise when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary, therefore, to test the
cake before removal from the oven.
Use a fine warmed skewer inserted
into the centre of the cake. If the
skewer comes out clean, then the cake
is cooked.
Do not attempt to make Christmas
cakes larger than the oven can
cope with; you should allow at
least 25mm (1 inch) space
between the oven walls and the tin.
Always follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.
To protect a very rich fruit cake
during cooking, tie 2 layers of
brown paper around the tin.
We recommend that the cake tin is
not stood on layers of brown
paper, as this can hinder effective
circulation of air.
Do not use soft tub margarine for
rich fruit cakes unless specified in
the recipe.
Always use the correct size and
shape of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey perfectly involves
cooking two different types of meat the delicate light breast meat, which
must not be allowed to dry out, and
the darker leg meat, which takes
longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long
enough for the legs to cook, so
frequent basting is necessary. The breast
meat can be covered once browned.
Turkey should be roasted at 170 -
190˚C for 20 minutes per 1lb,
plus 20 minutes - unless packaging
advises otherwise.
The turkey can be open roasted -
breast side down - for half of the
cook time, and then turned over for
the remainder of the cooking time.
If the turkey is stuffed, add 5
minutes per 1lb to the cooking time.
If roasting turkey covered with
foil, add
cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
fine skewer into the thickest part of the
thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey
is cooked. If the juices are still pink,
the turkey will need longer cooking.

Using the Ovens
Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the
size and age of the bird will influence
cooking times as will the shape of a
joint and the proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. For large
joints it is advisable to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time
required depends on the size of the
bird - eg; a large turkey may take up
to 48 hours to thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively,
to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes
or other vegetables can be roasted
around the meat / poultry.
Notes:
When cooking stuffed meat or
poultry calculate the cooking time
from the total weight of the meat
plus the stuffing.
For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to
the calculated cooking time.
Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg (2
1
⁄2lb) may require 5 minutes
per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time.
Position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry will be in the
centre of the oven.
It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.
Always make sure the oven is cool
before cleaning is attempted.

Using the (Main) Oven
Automatic cooking in the main oven
The main oven only is controlled by
the programmer (see ‘Programmer/
Clock’ section) and allows complete
meals, or individual dishes to be
cooked while you are out of the house,
to be ready for when you return. The
‘Ready Time’ should be set as close as
possible to, or just after your anticipated return so food is not left standing in
a warm oven.
Do
Select foods which are as fresh as
possible, and as cold as possible ie; preferably straight from the
refrigerator.
Choose foods which are suitable for
cooking from a cold start, as some
dishes will be affected by being
left uncooked, at room temperature,
perhaps for several hours - eg; a
wet filling on a pastry base.
Make sure that meat and poultry
are thoroughly thawed (but still cold
from the refrigerator), before placing
them in the oven, and avoid using
rolled joints of meat which can be
more susceptible to the growth of
food poisoning organisms.
Cover dishes with lids or foil to
keep the food moist, prevent the
transfer of odours, and protect from
possible contamination; the food
can be uncovered towards the end
of cooking to crisp and brown.

Using the (Main) Oven
Important: Food is more susceptible
to the growth of food poisoning
organisms in warm conditions. If the
weather is hot, either take care to
ensure that food is not left standing in
a warm oven, or avoid using the
automatic cooking facility.
Hints for automatic cooking in
the main oven
Food is placed in a cold oven so
you will need to add about 10 15 minutes onto the cooking time
to allow for the oven to reach the
selected temperature.
Wine or beer may ferment, and
cream may curdle during the delay
period, so it is best to add these
ingredients just before serving.
Potatoes should be parboiled or
brushed with oil to prevent
discolouration during the delay
period.
Meat can be brushed with oil to
prevent it drying.
Lemon juice can be added to
certain fruits and vegetables such
as apples, pears, turnips and
parsnips to prevent discolouration
during the delay period.

Semi-automatic cooking
There are two types of semi automatic
cooking available on this appliance.
The oven must be switched on, and in
use to use either of these functions
successfully.
The Duration method allows you to set
the oven for a specific length of time.
If a dish needed 2 hours to cook, then
it would be possible for you to set the
oven to turn off 2 hours later. This
allows you to be sure that your food
will be cooked for a set length of time
and no longer.
The End Time method allows you to
enter a specific time when you would
like the oven to switch off. If you wish
to leave the oven unattended, then it
offers peace of mind that the oven will
have turned itself off at the set time.
For the instructions on how to use both
of these functions, please see the following page.
Fully automatic cooking
This function incorporates both a duration and an end time and is meant to be
used when you wish to delay the start
time.
We recommend that the first few times
this function is used you are in the
house, this will familiarise you with your
oven and prevents food from being over
cooked or under cooked.
Care must be taken when selecting
foods for this function, it is not recommended for certain food items which
may spoil, or are sensitive to being left.
It is also advisable to set the end time to
be as close to your return as possible to
prevent food being left standing.
To cancel the semi automatic programs, press both the Plus and Minus
buttons together. This can be done at
any time during the cooking process.
Then if necessary, re program.

carefully before you start using the
automatic functions.
Do
• Familiarise yourself with the use of
the programmer.
• Select foods which are as fresh as
possible, and as cold as possible ie; preferably straight from the
refrigerator.
• Choose foods which are suitable
for cooking from a cold start, as
some dishes will be affected by
being left uncooked, at room temperature, perhaps for several
hours, especially when the weather is hot.
• Make sure that meat, poultry and
uncooked food are thoroughly
thawed before placing them in the
oven.
• Cover dishes with lids or foil, as
they may be left standing in the
oven for some time before cooking.
Do not
• Never place warm food in the
oven for delayed cooking - eg;
stews prepared by frying meat first
must be thoroughly cooled before
placing in the oven.
• Do not cook dishes containing left
over cooked meat or poultry, or
pastry dishes with wet fillings,
as they are not suitable for automatic cooking.
• Do not put food items intended for
delayed cooking into a warm oven
- allow the oven to cool before setting for delayed cooking.
• Do not over-fill dishes containing
liquids, as they might boil over.
• Never leave food in the oven to
cool slowly after cooking, serve
immediately or refrigerate.
