INSTALLATION

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

Mains Connection

Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your supply voltage, this is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the outer rear panel. The model number and serial number are located on the front of the cooker, as shown on the Feature's page. The cooker must be connected by a competent person such as one who is a, NICEIC registered contractor to a suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating of 32A and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm (applicable to newer properties, older properties where a 30A double pole control unit and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm is acceptable). The double pole control unit should be fitted adjacent to the cooker, in accordance with IEE regulations. The control unit must be within 2 metres of but not directly above the appliance and should be easily accessible in the event of an emergency. The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a conductor size of 6mm2, minimum. Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover. The mains cable must pass through the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block. Sufficient cable should be used to allow the cooker to be pulled out for servicing.

Ensure that the mains cable is routed away from any brackets affixed to the rear panel and is not trapped to the rear wall when pushing the cooker into position between cabinets.

Levelling

Four feet are fitted which can be adjusted up or down to set the height (900mm - 930mm) and level the cooker. The feet can be simply screwed in or out to lower or raise the cooker. After the correct height is achieved, lock the feet into position by tightening the locking nut using an open ended spanner. CAUTION:CAUTION:

CAUTION: Some soft floor coverings may get damaged if the cooker is not moved carefully.

CAUTION:CAUTION: NOTE:NOTE:

NOTE: Ensure oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelves.

NOTE:NOTE:

Siting the Cooker

The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 600mm apart. The space either side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing and cleaning. It can be used with cabinets one side or both as well as in an angled corner setting. It can also be used freestanding. Adjacent side walls which project above hob level, must not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm and should be protected by heat resistant material. Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be nearer than 650mm.

Note: This appliance must NOT be fitted on a platform.

Moving the Cooker

Before moving your cooker, switch off at the cooker control unit, ensure that it is cool. Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any grill elements.

Radio Interference

Right Front Control

As each control knob is turned clockwise, numbers from 1 - 6 on the control knob increase. Setting 6 is the highest/hottest and gives 100% power. Setting 1 is the lowest/coolest and gives about 7% power. Variable power is obtainable on each of the heating areas by selecting any number between 1 & 6.

This is to control a dual circuit oval hotplate with two elements. By turning the knob clockwise both parts of the hotplate are switched on, numbers 1-4 on the control knob, 4 is the highest setting. With the knob turned anti-clockwise, only the inner part of the hotplate is switched on, this is also indicated by numbers 1-4 on the control knob, 4 is the highest setting. Variable power for either the whole or the inner part of the hotplate is obtained by selecting any number between 1 & 4. The off position is identified by an '0'. The hob hot warning lights will operate soon after each of the heating areas have been switched on. Each warning light will remain illuminated until each heating area has cooled down.

When turned anti-clockwise the single grill will be switched on and any power setting from 1 - 4 can be selected. The power level numbers are indicated on the control knob. The off position is identified by an '0'.

This control switches on the top and bottom heating elements in the top oven. The temperature in the oven can be set anywhere between 100°C and 220°C. The thermostat light will glow initially and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. It will then cycle off and on, as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature. The off position is identified by an '0'.

This control switches on the main oven. To select Fan Cooking - Turn the control clockwise and select any temperature between 80°C and 230°C. As the control is turned the fan will start, the oven interior light and the main oven thermostat light will come on and the heating element around the fan will start heating. The fan and the oven interior light will remain on throughout cooking. The main oven thermostat light will come on until the oven reaches the required temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

Notes

Slow Setting 'S'

1. Never operate both the top oven control and the grill control together. The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the '0' off position.

2. If the main oven does not switch on when the control is turned, check that the Timer is in manual operation.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION

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

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The Main 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.
