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 ovens to maximum temperature 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.

* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:

(a) Has been used solely in accordance with the Users Instruction Book.
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the rating

plate attached to this equipment.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION

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

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The Top Oven and Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. When the timer
control has been set for one oven, it is possible to use the other oven only during the same
automatic cooking programme.

NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook automatically because
the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause
bacterial growth in food.

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 auto cooking,
keep the delay start 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.

USING THE TOP OVEN FOR SOLARPLUS
GRILLING

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. We have developed a 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 pre-heat before food
is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used directly from
cold without any pre-heat.
However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for
about 1 minute.

Note: You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops you
from touching the glass tubes.

DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could break the
glass tubes and expose live parts.

During use the mesh may become soiled. DO NOT attempt to clean it while the grill is still
on. Turn off at the control and allow to cool before cleaning. Care must be taken to ensure
the grill mesh is not distorted - DO NOT store the grill pan handle on the food grid when
the shelf is in the highest position.

USING THE TOP OVEN AS A
CONVECTION OVEN

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. As a guide, the front of the utensil should be approx. 100mm (4”)

from the front of the shelf.

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

USING THE MAIN OVEN FOR FAN COOKING

C

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 “pre-heating”, “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 10oC. It may also be
necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.

MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN

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

The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities
of food. (N.B. Maximum 3 shelves in the main oven).

Food or utensils should ne
for cooking.

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

MAIN OVEN UTENSILS

Do Not Use: Meat Pans larger than – 375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)

Baking Trays larger than – 325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)

TEMPERATURE & TIME

When all 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.

MAIN FAN OVEN OPERATION

❍

Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual.
Step 2 Place the shelf/shelves in the correct position (see Main Oven Temperature Charts.
Step 3 Place the food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Step 4 Select the required cooking temperature (80 to 230

Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF (O) position.
At the end of the 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.

The pilot light ( ● ) will immediately come on, and remain on 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.

DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a refrigerator

(allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per lb.).

Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.

However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non-heating

fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.

OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:

Place food in the oven and close the oven door.

Turn the Main Oven Temperature and Function Control (C) clockwise to the

setting.

This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on type

and size of the food.

NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.

Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are cream/cream cakes,

butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches, pastries, biscuits,

bread, croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.

Fan

Only

If fish, meat and poultry are to be defrosted using the fan only setting, where possible it

is recommended that the food should be small & thin.

The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to

the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even defrosting.

Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up

to a maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).

It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately after

defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after defrosting.

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

USING THE MAIN OVEN FOR OTHER
FUNCTIONS

‘S’ SLOW COOK SETTING

ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE:

OPERATION:

STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:

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.

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. Select Slow Cooking Temperature ‘S’ by turning Main Oven Temperature &

Function Control (C) clockwise.

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,
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
wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a 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 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.

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

TOP OVEN SIDE LINERS

MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS

AND REAR PANEL

(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
meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the
"Stayclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean, soapy
cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.

DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage
the “Stayclean” oven liners.
