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.

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

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.
PLEASE PHONE US TO REGISTER YOUR APPLIANCE AND ACTIVATE YOUR PARTS GUARANTEE ON 08448 24 24 24

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.

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.

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.

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.
