Fan Oven (Main Oven)

- the fan oven operates by constantly blowing heated air, from an element wrapped
around the fan, into the oven. This gives improved efficiency and in general, enables
the use of lower temperatures for cooking. It also means that there is less need to be
particolar about shelf positions and that you can bake at more than one level
simultaneously (Batch Baking).

Roast Meat (Main Oven)

- specially created for cooking joints of meat. This mode raises the temperature in the

oven to a very high heat for the first part of the cooking cycle, to seal the outside of
the joint and retain the juices of the meat throughout cooking. After this the
temperature is reduced to the set temperature using each heating element in turn to
guarantee a homogeneous temperature for the cooking period. A temperature is
suggested on this mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control knob.

Roast Chicken (Main Oven)

- specially created for cooking excellent roast poultry. This mode can be used to roast

chickens, duck, turkey and other poultry to perfection. Each heating element is used

When you first switch on the appliance you will be prompted to set the 'Time of Day' on the display.

You must ensure you have done this before attempting to use the automatic cooking feature.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The main oven can be controlled automatically.

HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

- Select food which will require the same cooking time and temperature.

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

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

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

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

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

- We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry and meat, eg. shepherds pie, should not be cooked
automatically if there is to be a delay period.

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

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

- 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.

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

- 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.

- Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly bifore serving.

- Only reheat food once.

CONVERSION CHART

This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive on the limitation of power
consumption by the use of an Automatic ‘Stand-by’ mode.

Full ‘Standby’ is achieved when both:

The Oven is not in Use::
If the ovens are NOT in use, and the oven controls have not been operated for a period of approximately 2
minutes, the timer display automatically switches to its ‘stand-by’ mode. When in ‘standby mode’, the time of
day is not visible and just the “watch icon” is illuminated on the timer display. As soon as interaction with the
oven controls, or with any of the timer buttons resumes, the full timer display, (including the ‘time of day’), will
be restored and the ‘watch icon’ will go out
AND
The Hob is not in Use:
If no operations of the hob controls are carried out for a period of a few minutes after all hotplates have been
turned off , and once the hob has cooled sufficiently, the “hot hob indicators” on the hob glass go out,
indicating that the hob is in ’’ stand-by mode”.
When any of the hotplates are next used, the appropriate hob hot light(s) will be illuminated again. Operation of
the hob controls does not affect the timer display

The recommended temperatures given are for conventional and fan ovens. When using
a fan oven it will be necessary to reduce the cooking time by 10 minutes per hour and
lower the temperature by up to 20°C. Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessary
to pre-heat the oven. However, pre-heating is recommended when cooking items such
as Yorkshire puddings, whisked sponges and bread. Your experience with the cooker
will enable you to select the cooking time and temperature best suited for your recipe.

Condensation may become evident on the inner door and water may drip through the
vent. This is normal when heat and moisture are present and may be a result of any of
the following:

1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.

2. The moisture content of the food eg. meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding,
roasting meat, etc.

3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one time.

The Working of the Heating Zones

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.

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.

Solarplus Grill

EN

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'.

Off

To operate the grill proceed as follows:

. 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

The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is provided by the grill element and
the element under the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of cheaper cuts
of meat in casseroles etc. but can also be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg
(3lb).

The operation of the controls is covered on “The Controls”.

See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning.

The top oven can be used either independently to cook small quantities of food or in
conjunction with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.

The shelf should be positioned on the first or second runner from the bottom.

•

To use the oven proceed as follows:

• Set the top oven control to the required temperature, the top oven light will come on

and wait for the thermostat light to go off, indicating that the oven has reached the
right temperature.

• The food to be cooked should be placed in the centre of the shelf with a gap of at

least 25mm (1in) between it and the grill element. This should avoid burning and
ensure even cooking.

• Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.

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

'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

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.

Care and Cleaning

EN

Main Oven Liners - side and rear panels.
Top Oven Liners - sides

It should not normally be necessary to clean the
'Stay clean' panels in water. If the user feels it is
desirable to do so, wash them in warm soapy water,
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.

slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned,
while still warm. For removing stubborn stains see
next page.

2. Remove the rod shelves. Use a fine steel wool
soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod
shelves and the floor of the oven. Refer to the
instructions on previous page for cleaning the 'Stay
clean' panels.

Steam is a by - product of cooking any food with a high water contact. To help minimise

always:

a) Preheat the oven (depending on the model)
b) Reduce the amount of moisture at the food preparation stage for example by using
a covered container, wherever possible
c) Open the door immediately after the baking process. Try to avoid leaving food in the

oven to cool after being cooked, remove the food immediately after switching off the oven.
d) After each use of the oven, wipe off the condensate with a cloth.

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.

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 wall cooker socket is switched on
(ii) Other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut

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
