INTRODUCTION

Your new cooker is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.

To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.

The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.

Note: When the cooker is first used, an odour may be emitted - this will cease after a short period of use

To help remove the 'new' smell, heat up the empty oven(s) to maximum for a minimum of two to three hours keeping the oven doors closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

Before using your oven ALWAYS make sure that the timer has been set to MANUAL operation. Unless this is done, the oven cannot heat up. So before seeking assistance, make sure this is done (refer to Timer section)

To release any control knob simply press its centre.

Rotate the control knob in either direction to the required function. Many of the functions will also require the oven thermostat or grill control to be set before the appliance will heat up.

After use knobs can be returned to the storage position by pressing them in at the centre.

This is used in addition to the multifunction selector. This is used for the functions (fan oven, fan grill and top and base heat). Turn the control clockwise to set the oven thermostat to the required temperature. If the timer is set correctly and the selector switch set to a suitable function an indicator light will illuminate. This will remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains control of the oven temperature.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION

Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the oven can be used.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer.

HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.

2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so the food is ready when you require it.

3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.

4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.

5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic cooking, keep the delay time to a minimum.

6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.

7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g. Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.

8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth in food.

9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.

10. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.

11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.

12. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.

13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.

14. Only reheat food once.

SOLARPLUS GRILL

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

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The Solarplus high speed grill which 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 preheat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used directly from cold without any preheat. However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by preheating the grill for about 1 minute.

You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. Under no circumstances should pointed objects be inserted into the mesh. During use the mesh may become soiled. DO NOT attempt to clean it while the grill is 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 rod shelf is in 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. Select full grill or half grill on the multi function selector, then turn the grill control to the required setting. The numbers which are displayed indicate the heat setting. Number 6 is the hottest and number 1 is the coolest.

GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/OVEN DOOR CLOSED. This will cause overheating.

The grill will not operate unless the Oven control is in the off position.

Grilling procedure:

1. Ensure the TIMER is set to MANUAL.

2. Open the grill/oven door to its grilling position.

3. Turn the multifunction selector switch to either the half grill or the full grill function..

4. Turn the grill control clockwise to the required setting (1-6).

5. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause over heating of fat in the grill pan.

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate cleaning and storage. The handle can be either detached from or fixed to the pan.

For a fixed handle remove the screw and washers from the grill pan bracket, tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the bracket (A), slide it towards the centre of the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the bracket (C). Replace the screw and washers and ensure that they are fully tightened up.

For a detachable handle remove screw and washers from the grill pan and keep safe.

Warning: Ensure when using the grill pan handle in the detachable manner it is centralised and secure.

USING THE OVEN FOR FAN COOKING

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. For guides on “preheating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times”, see “Oven Temperature Charts” later in book.

NOTE: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.

OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN

Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of heat in the oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.

Food or utensils should ne cooking as air circulation is restricted.

DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the oven is in use as the surfaces get extremely hot.

OVEN UTENSILS

Do not use: Meat pans larger than 375mm x 300mm (15” x 12”) Baking Trays larger than 325mm x 250mm (13” x10”)

Oven

TEMPERATURE & TIME

If three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, 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 even gap around the oven.

USING THE OVEN FOR CIRCULAIRE ROASTING

CIRCULAIRE ROASTING

Circulaire roasting - food is placed on the roasting rack, this allows the oven fan to circulate the hot air around the food, making it suitable for thin foods, such as chops, steaks, sausages as well as meat joints and poultry, as it will cook both sides at the same time. it is possible to cook on any shelf position, as the temperature in the oven is evenly distributed. Also, the oven heats up more quickly and generally will cook food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, so pre-heating is not necessary for most foods. For a guide on “cooking times” and “cooking temperatures” see “Circulaire Roasting Chart”. If required, circulaire roasting can be timed using the Oven Timer. Follow the timer instructions before selecting Fan Oven function and the required temperature. Note: It is also possible to cook food on the roasting rack on one shelf, while cooking different types of food at the same temperature, on other shelf positions (three shelves maximum).

Operating Instructions:

STEP 1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual.

STEP 2. Turn the control knob (B) clockwise to the fan oven function.

STEP 3. After use, turn controls (A) and (B) to the Off (O) position.

Note: At the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

Ensure that the oven shelf is in the position you require. Place the food centrally on the roasting rack. Position the roasting rack on top of the grill/meat pan and anti-splash tray. Place the grill/meat pan centrally on the oven shelf. Ensure the oven door is fully closed.

Turn the control knob (A) clockwise and select the required cooking temperature. The pilot light ( until the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS

‘S’ “SLOW” SETTING

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:

OPERATION:

STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:

POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING

before turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately.

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.

1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.

2. Turn knob B to Fan Oven function.

3. Turn knob A to ‘S’ (Slow Cooking temperature).

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.

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, it 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 (4lb 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 tin (to allow good air circulation)

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 to the top with foil 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. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to avoid overcooking.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS

FAN GRILLING

Fan grilling is a combination of heat from the grill element and the oven fan circulating the hot air around the food. Joints of meat and poultry will be browned as if they were cooked on a rotisseries or spit but more economically as the door is left closed. If required, fan grilling can be timed using the Oven Auto Timer. Follow the Timer instructions before selecting Fan Grill and the required temperature.

If Manual fan grilling is required, always ensure the Timer is set to Manual.

Operating Instructions:

1. Open the Oven door.

2. Select the correct shelf position.

3. Turn the selector switch (B) to the Fan Grill position.

4. Turn the oven thermostat control (A) to the required temperature (see Fan

5. Position the meat pan centrally under the grill elements (if using the grill pan

6. Close the oven door. Fan grilling will not begin until the door is fully closed.

7. After use always return both controls to the Off position.

always remove the grill pan handle).

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS

FAN GRILLING

As with the fan oven cooking there is no need to pre-heat the oven – yet another economy feature. Also you can cook more than one thing at a time – even up to 4 small chickens.

Temperatures

General recommendations

These will be similar to those used for the more traditional form of roasting but the guide will give you an indication of which temperature to set the Thermostat. But remember that because of the way the oven is heated this is a more economical way of roasting.

Most types of meat and poultry cooked by this method will have an all over brownness and crispness on the outside. The only exceptions are very lean joints, such as veal, which, because of its low fat content, is better cooked using conventional heating.

1. Always place the pan on the shelf position recommended. (See

Chart).

2. There is no need to preheat the oven before cooking and all fan grilling should be carried out with the oven door closed, this saves energy. The cooking temperatures and times are calculated from a cold oven.

3. After rinsing and drying meat, place on the roasting rack over the pan supplied with the anti-splash tray in position. It is important that the anti-splash tray is used, as it will stop the splashing of fat and help keep the oven clean.

4. Position meat in oven as recommended in the roasting chart.

5. Fan grilling is ideally suited for cooking all types of poultry and larger joints of meat (e.g. stuffed, rolled joints and legs of pork and lamb). Results will be as if you had cooked the food on a rotisserie. If you use frozen meat or poultry it must be completely defrosted before it is cooked.

6. When cooking a joint always grill it with the fat side uppermost in order to crisp it. For bigger joints or where there is little bone, grill at the lower temperature given in the table and cook for a longer time per kg.

7. When cooking any type of poultry, start grilling the underside uppermost and turn breast uppermost about a third to halfway through the cooking period. If cooking stuffed poultry allow slightly longer cooking time.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS

FAN ONLY

The oven has a fan only position, which can be used to assist defrosting by circulating unheated air around the food.

Time to defrost will depend on the type and size of the food and the room temperature.

Operating Instructions:

1. Turn the selector switch (B) to the Fan only position.

2. The oven light will remain on.

3. After use always return the controls to the Off position and close the oven

DO NOT turn the oven thermostat control on. DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.

Foods ideally suited for fan defrosting (without heat) are those which are normally served cold eg. cream/cream cakes, butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches, pastries, biscuits, bread croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.

If fish, meat and poultry are to be ‘fan only’ defrosted, then where possible the items should be thin eg. fish fillets, peeled shrimp, cubed or ground meat, sliced meat, thin chops, steaks or liver.

door.

The items should be placed so the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to the circulating air and turned to ensure even defrosting.

Fan defrosting without heat is only suitable for meat and poultry joints up to a maximum weight of 1.8kg (4lb).

It is important to wash both roast and cooking utensils immediately after defrosting, before cooking.

It is vitally important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS

CONV. HEAT

The oven is heated by elements at the top of the oven and underneath the floor of the oven. The oven door is fitted with a switch which will automatically turn off the elements when the door is opened.

Food should not be placed on the floor of the oven.

Operating Instructions:

1. Ensure oven Timer is set to Manual.

2. Position the rod shelf as recommended in the chart for food being cooked.

3. Position the food centrally under the grill elements.

4. Turn selector (B) to the conv. oven position.

5. Turn the oven thermostat control (A) to the required temperature setting (see

6. After use always return both controls to ‘O’ the Off position and close the

CARE AND CLEANING

Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off and the appliance is fully cold.

1. “STAYCLEAN” OVEN LINERS

(a) How "Stayclean" works.

The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners are treated 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.

(b) Cleaning.

In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C (425°F) 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 ovens without shelves or

front to back in its installed position. (b) Correct any unevenness by placing spacers under the bottom of the cabinet.

Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking. (c) Before the oven is fitted the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing wall for

stability. (d) The oven unit should now be lifted (this requires two people) into the cabinet and

pushed fully home. (e) Finally the oven unit must be secured to the cabinet. Position the oven side trims

equally about the cabinet sides. This should give an overlap of approx. 1.5mm

per side (see Fig. 2). Secure the oven unit to the cabinet, through the side trims, by

means of the four screws provided, two each side trim. (f) Remove all packing material from the grill and oven interior.

SOMETHING WRONG?

Before calling a Service Engineer, please check through the following lists.

THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.

Problem

Slight odour or small amount of smoke when grill / oven used first time

Nothing Works

Oven and Grill do not work

Check

This is normal and should cease after a short period.

If you find that the timer display is blank, then it is likely that there is no electricity supply to your oven. Check:

(i) That the main cooker wall is switched on (ii) Other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut (iii) The main circuit breaker for the property

(iv) With the selector (B) turned, the oven light does not

illuminate.

Check to ensure the Timer is in Manual mode. Check that the ‘Auto’ symbol is not lit up and is not flashing. See Timer section for instructions on how to return the Timer to Manual.

Oven and Grill do not work

Timer Display shows "0:00" "Auto"

Grill does not work

Oven does not work

Draught from beneath control panel

Grill keeps turning on and off.

Cannot set an “Auto Cook” programme

Operating the appliance under the following conditions may cause a safety device to operate. (a) Grilling with the door closed - always grill with the door

open. (b) Grilling for excessively long period at maximum setting. (c) Grilling with inadequate ventilation in the cabinet.

The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but has now come back on again. Reset the timer to the correct day and "Manual" operation using the instructions given in the timer section of the book.

Check that the selector switch is set to ‘Full Grill’ or ‘Half Grill’, and that the grill control is turned on. Check that the door is in its grilling position.

Check that the selector switch (B) is set and that the temperature control (A) is set to the correct temperature.

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.

When the temperature control (C) is operating at less than 6, the grill will cycle on and off, this is normal and is not a fault.

Remember: “Cook Period” is the actual length of time for which the Timer will switch the oven on, as part of an “Auto Cook” programme.

SOMETHING WRONG?

Timer buzzer/bleeper operates continually

Oven lamp does not work

Condensation on the wall at the rear of the cooker.

Steam / Condensation in the oven after use.

If you have been through the above list and there is still a problem,

DISPOSAL OF YOUR PRODUCT

Buzzer/Bleeper should stop automatically after 2 minutes, if not press the minute minder button to silence.

The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee. The part is easily changed (see the section on oven lamp replacement) A new lamp may be obtained from our Genuine Parts & Accessories Mail Order Hotline (see KEY CONTACTS, back page).

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.

Steam is a by - product of cooking any food with a high water contact. To help minimise always: a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being

cooked.

b) Use a covered container, wherever possible.

contact Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back page) .

To minimise the risk of injury to children please dispose of your product carefully and safely. Remove all doors and lids (where fitted). 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.
