In common with all cookers having controls sited above the grill compartment, care must be taken when setting the controls, due to the hot air expelled from the grill compartment.
Note: After use, it is advisable to check that all cooker controls have been switched Off.
A gentle flow of air will be blown below the control panel when oven/grill controls are in use.
The main and top oven lights will illuminate when the relevant thermostat is operated. The light will remain on during the cook period. (Note: Top Oven Light is not on all Models).
The main oven has an ‘S’ setting specially designed to reduce energy usage. Full details of this can be found in the Slow Cooking section.
The oven is fitted with a safety device which disconnects the heating element and oven fan when the door is opened. The heating element and oven fan will not operate until the oven door is closed.
Hob On neon will illuminate when any hob control is operated and will remain illuminated until all hob controls are turned off.
A short time (approx. 30 seconds) after the hob heating areas have been turned on, the Hob Hot neon will illuminate. This light will remain illuminated until all the hob controls have been turned off and all hob heating areas have cooled.

Oven Timer Operation (C361E & C366E)
The oven timer offers you the following features:
1. Time of Day
2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
Automatic Cooking
The Main Oven (only) 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 manually.
Hints on Automatic Cooking
Timer Operation
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook and require approximately the same temperature.
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about to finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled down and does not require reheating before serving.
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.
4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.
5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay period is kept to a minimum.
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
9. 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.
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.
11. 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.
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.
1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.
2. Check that the electricity supply to the oven is turned On.
3. Check that the oven clock is at the right time of day.
