Heating only occurs within the marked circular cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the ceramic glass from overheating. After several minutes at full power without a pan on the heating zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating elements off and on automatically to avoid any damage to the ceramic glass.

IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil unattendedunattended
unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in
unattendedunattended close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added too quickly.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob.

Setting the Grill
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED.
The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either the twin grill elements on together or the single left hand grill element only, depending upon which direction the control knob is rotated. With the control rotated clockwise 1 through to 4 the twin elements will come on together. With the control turned anti-clockwise 1 through to 4 and the single left hand element will come on only. The control is Off at O.
Note: The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the OFF position.
Food which requires browning only should be placed under the hot grill, directly on the shelf in the first or second runner from the bottom of the oven, according to the depth of the dish. Open the Grill door to the grilling position. i.e. fully. With the grill door in the grilling position, heating the grill is achieved by turning the control clockwise to the desired 'grill setting' on the control panel.
Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil.
Note: Preheat the grill at setting 4 for approximately 5 minutes.
The grill pan is placed on the shelf or grill pan support and should be correctly positioned under the grill element. Leave the control at 4 for toast, sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower setting after the initial sealing on both sides at 4. The thicker the food the lower the control should be set.
GUIDE TO GRILLING
Pre-heat the grill for 5 minutes on maximum control setting before grilling
The settings in the above guide have been developed to cook food successfully without excessive fat spitting and splashing.
Grill Pan Handle
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle securely before use:
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external ‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2) and holds the pan from the bottom.
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan. Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill pan will make the collection of grease particles more efficient and prevent the formation of smoke.

Solarplus Grill*
Warning: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The solarplus grill is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the solarplus grill can be used from cold without any pre-heat. However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.
Notes
You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops you from touching live parts.
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could damage or break the element tubes OR if the grill is on cause an electric shock.
During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill is still on. Turn the cooker off at the control unit and wait until it has cooled down before cleaning.
Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted - DO NOT store the grill pan handle on the grill pan grid when the grill pan runners are on the top runner position. There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and one on the right. You can choose to have both sides on or just the left side on. Turning the control knob clockwise, will switch both sides on. Turning it anti-clockwise, will only switch the left side on. The numbers which are displayed indicate the heat setting:
MAXIMUM is the hottest and MINIMUM the coolest.
GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE TOP OVEN/GRILL DOOR CLOSED
- This will cause overheating.
The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the Off position, 'O'.
To operate the grill proceed as follows:
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.
2. Position the rod shelf as recommended, in the chart (next page), for the food being cooked.
3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned centrally under the element.
4. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause overheating of fat in the grill pan.

Top Oven Cookery Notes
GB
The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food.The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven.
To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above.
There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from the base), do not use shelves upside down.
Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the oven floor.
There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between the top of the food and the grill element. Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when main oven is in use.
Operation
To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise.The top oven pilot light will come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature.The pilot light will automatically go on and off during cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Cooking meat/poultry
Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs), or poultry, up to 3.6kg (8 lbs) (60cm cookers) in weight can be roasted in a small meat pan in the top oven. Larger joints of meat/poultry weighing more than 3.6kg (8 lbs) (60cm cookers) should be roasted in the main oven.
Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.
Top oven as a warming compartment for plates
Place the plates/dishes on the shelf, positioned on runner 1, turn top oven control to 100°C for 10-15 minutes.Never use grill control.

Main Oven Cookery Notes
To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting the require temperature between 80°C (176°F) and 230°C (450°F) as recommended in the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
It should be noted that at the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly,and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary.However, foods such as bread, scones,Yorkshire pudding,do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven. The 'oven temperature charts' are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times.To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C.
Temperature and time
When all three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an equal gap at either side of the oven.
Frozen meat and poultry
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g (1 lb), or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g (1 lb).
WARNING! The oven is provided with a stop sys­tem to extract the racks and prevent them from coming out of the oven.(1) As shown in the drawing, to extract them comple­tely, simply lift the racks, holding them on the front
part, and pull (2).
GB
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts food should be placed in a cold oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked.
Oven positions
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily
on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced. The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities of food. Additional shelves can be purchased through your oven supplier or our Parts Department (see Key Contacts, back page).
Food or utensils should Never be placed directly an the floor of the oven for cooking.
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.To ensure oven circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15"x12") and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13"x 10"), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf. Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use, should be removed from the oven.

Using The Main Oven for other Functions
GB
'S' SLOW setting
"Slow" cook is identified as 'S' on the oven temperature scale. This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven.
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven lining and the plates which are being warmed.
Advantages of "SLOW" cooking are:
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing. Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking. Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised. Fully loading the oven can be economical. Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.
Operation:
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.
2. Select 'S' (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Main Oven Temperature Control clockwise ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Storage and re-heating of food:
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container and cool as soon as possible.
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.
4. Only re-heat food once.
Points to consider when preparing food for "SLOW" cooking:
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air to circulate.
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed.
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4 lb 8oz). We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the slow setting.
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170°C for 30 minutes before wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a meat tin (to allow good air circulation) before turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately.
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a meat thermometer before serving.
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing frozen food in the oven to cook.
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover food first with foil and then the lid to prevent loss of moisture.
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook properly.
10.Always adjust seasoning before serving.
11.If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then boiled for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.
12.Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking and should be included in day cooking sessions, where they can be checked from time to time.

Care and Cleaning
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE COOKER IS COLD BEFORE CLEANING. BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER,HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND, UNLESS SPECIFIED BELOW.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.
!
Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.
! The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery (even in your dishwasher).
Cleaning materials to avoid:
1. Plastic or nylon pads
2. Household abrasive powders and scourers. These
may scratch the surface.
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame.
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AT THE MAINS SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.
Ceramic hotplates:
Clean your Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid repeated burning of encrusted contamination.
Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of soiling involved (see below).
minor soiling, where the contamination has not
burnt hard, can be wiped off with a clean wet cloth
major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt
encrustation can be quickly and easily removed with a razor-blade scraper
hard water stains, grease spots and discoloration
having a metallic sheen can be removed with 'Easy Do Cleaner Powder'
* Available only in certain models
always condition hob after cleaning by using 'Easy Do Conditioner' or 'Hob Brite'. Apply a small amount of conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel before the conditioner dries.
Detergent residues must always be completely removed with a clean wet cloth, (even if the instructions for use suggest otherwise), as they can have an etching effect when reheated. Then wipe dry.
To maintain hob in good condition, we would recommend regular use of the 'Easy Do Powder Cleanser'.
Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove all residue with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Then use conditioner to protect the hob.
For more stubborn marks, mix a small amount of the powder cleanser with 'Jif Lemon Juice' (from a bottle) and carefully spread over the affected area. Cover with a damp paper towel and leave for a minimum of 15 minutes. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel before the conditioner dries. Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Easy Do products are available from many electrical retailers and our Parts Department. Homecare 'Hob Brite' is available from leading Supermarkets.
'STAY CLEAN'Oven liners*
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the 'Stay clean' panels.
How "STAY CLEAN" works:
The surfaces of the 'Stay clean' oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is. In most cases normal cooking operations at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly it may be necessary in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without a meat pan at maximum setting for a couple of hours.

Care and Cleaning
GB
Main Oven Liners - side and rear panels. Top Oven Liners - sides
It should not normally be necessary to clean the 'Stay clean' panels in water. If the user feels it is desirable to do so, wash them in warm soapy water, followed by rinsing in clean water. Do not use
enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.
Decorative trims (all models):
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the cooker. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in hot water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners/ powders which may scratch the surface.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift the door seal from the oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips. Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that the lettering is not blurred or removed.
slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm. For removing stubborn stains see next page.
2. Remove the rod shelves. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves and the floor of the oven. Refer to the instructions on previous page for cleaning the 'Stay clean' panels.

A gentle flow of air will be blown from beneath the control panel when the appliance is used. If the appliance is still warm, this cooling fan may run on, or restart itself when all controls have been turned off. The fan will stop once the appliance has been cooled. This is normal and not a fault.
Steam and / or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear of the appliance when using an oven particularly for foods with a high water content e.g. frozen chips, roast chicken etc. This is normal, and any excess should be wiped off.

Disposal of your product
To minimise the risk of injury to children please dispose of your product carefully and safely. Remove all doors and lids. Remove the mains cable (where fitted) by cutting off flush with the appliance and always ensure that no plug is left in a condition where it could be connected to the electricity supply. To help the environment, Local Authority instructions should be followed for the disposal of your product.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the environment
• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little as possible because heat is lost every time it is opened. To save a substantial amount of energy, simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the end of your planned cooking time and use the heat the oven continues to generate.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door energy losses
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay cooking” option will make it easier to save money by moving operation to cheaper time periods.
• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates 5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate. If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can be difficult to remove.
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption
• Use purely flat pots and pans
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time, it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as fast and saves a third of the energy.
