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.

DOOR POSITION FOR GRILLING.

Using the Top Oven for Solarplus Grilling

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. Hotpoint 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 can be 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 live parts.

DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could damage the element wire, break the glass tubes or if the grill is on, cause electric shock.

During use, the wire 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.

IMPORTANT: Grilling should never be undertaken with the grill/top oven door closed.

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 10˚C. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.

SHELF POSITIONING

ENSURE SHELVES ARE FITTED THE CORRECT WAY UP

DO NOT PLACE FOOD/UTENSILS DIRECTLY ON THE OVEN FLOOR

There should always be at least 25mm (1 inch) between the top of the food and the grill element.

WARNING: Items stored in the top oven will get hot when the main oven is in use.

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

Cooking

If using aluminium foil, never: 1. Allow foil to touch sides of oven. 2. Cover oven interior with foil. 3. Cover shelves with foil.

The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into the

thickest part of a joint, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat thermometer will indicate when

Medium: 70˚C Pork: 90˚C

Well Done: 75˚C Veal: 75˚C

the required internal temp has been reached.

Beef - Rare: 60˚C Lamb: 80˚C Poultry: 90˚C

Main Oven - 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 rotisserie or spit but more economically as the door 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. Do not use the oven without the removable oven roof in position with its front flange facing downwards.

Operating Instruction

1. Open the oven door.

2. Select the correct shelf position, as stated in chart.

3. Turn the selector switch to the Fan grill position.

4. Turn the oven thermostat control to the required temperature (see Fan Grilling Roasting Chart).

5. Position the meat pan centrally under the grill elements.

6. Close the oven door.

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

8. If the oven timer was used, reset to Manual.

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

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.

(DE77 & DQ77)

General Recommendations

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 food roasting support rack over the pan supplied.

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.

FAN ONLY SETTING

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 nonheating 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.

(DE77 & DQ77) - Turn the Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to the setting. (DE47 & DQ47) - Turn the Main Oven 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.

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.

LIGHT ONLY SETTING

(DE77 & DQ77) - When the Multifunction Control (D) is turned clockwise to the setting, the main oven light only will illuminate.

(DE47 & DQ47) - When the Main Oven Control (C) is turned clockwise to the setting, the main oven light only will illuminate.

Main Oven - Conventional Oven

(DE77 & DQ77)

Important

NEVER line the shelves, the floor or the sides of the oven with aluminium foil as overheating and damage may result. The oven is heated by elements at the top of the oven and underneath the floor of the oven.

Food should not be placed on the floor of the oven. Do not use the oven without the removable oven roof in position with its front flange facing downwards.

Operating Procedure

1. Ensure Oven Timer is set to Manual.

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

3. Position food centrally under grill element.

4. Turn the selector switch to the conventional oven position.

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

temperature charts). The oven light will remain on. The oven indicator light will remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature. This light will then automatically cycle on and off during cooking as the oven temperature is controlled.

6. After use always return both controls to the off position and close the oven door.

Main Oven - Fan Oven (all Models)

Important

NEVER line the shelves, the floor or the sides of the oven with aluminium foil as overheating and damage may result. The oven is heated by elements at the rear of the oven. A fan at the rear of the oven operates to circulate heated air within the oven.

Do not use the oven without the removable oven roof in position with its front flange facing downwards.

Operating Procedure

1. Ensure Oven Timer is set to Manual. 2a. (DE77 & DQ77)

- Turn the selector switch to the fan oven position .

- Turn the oven thermostat control to the required temperature setting (see oven temperature charts).

2b. (DE47 & DQ47)

- Turn the oven thermostat control to the required temperature setting (see oven temperature charts).

3 The oven light will remain on.

The oven indicator light will remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature. This light will then automatically cycle on and off during cooking as the oven temperature is controlled.

4. After use always return all controls to the off position and close the oven door.

Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes

Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating the oven is often unnecessary. However, foods such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.

The charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C.

Because the fan oven cooks so efficiently, we recommend that when cooking any recipes not designed for a fan oven, you reduce the temperature by about 25˚C and the time by about 10 minutes in the hour. If large quantities are being cooked it will be necessary to increase the cooking time somewhat to compensate for the extra oven load.

Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold oven, i.e. without preheating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked.

It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened, this will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

Oven Positions

Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced:

To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390x300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.

– Do not fit shelves upside down.

– Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be restricted.

– Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on the floor of the oven.

To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use should be removed from the oven.

Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes

Temperature and Time

The oven is provided with two shelves. A third is available as an optional extra, contact Genuine Parts & Accessories Hotline (see back page) for further information. If three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays should allow an equal gap on all sides of the oven.

To prepare meat and poultry for Roasting in your Fan Oven

(a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which has for been stored in

a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room temperature before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven.

(b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added before calculating the cooking

time.

joints weighing less than 1.75kg (31/2lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin – or they may be ‘pot roasted’ – a small joint or a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven splashing and evaporation of meat juices.

(d) Additional fat should not be added, except for veal, very lean meat or poultry

which can either be ‘larded’ with fat bacon or brushed very sparingly with cooking oil or melted fat.

(e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with seasoned flour to give a

crisp outer surface. The skin of duck and goose should be pricked to release excess fat during cooking, and the rind of pork should be scored, brushed lightly with oil, and rubbed with salt to give crisp crackling.

(f) Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a tent of aluminium foil will be juicy

and tender. Roasting bags offer the same advantages. Always follow the manufacturer’s pack instructions, and remember to reduce the temperatures given for conventional ovens by approximately 25˚C and the time by approximately

10 minutes per hour. (g) Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with cooking oil or melted fat. (h) It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an electric oven and stock or liquid

should not be added to the meat pan since this only causes unnecessary soiling,

steam and condensation.

Frozen Meat and Poultry

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

domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g,1 lb), or at room temperature

(allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1 lb).

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

It is essential to wash thoroughly and cook meat and poultry immediately after

defrosting.

Main Oven - 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:

(DE77 & DQ77)

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

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

STEP 3. After use, turn controls (C) and (D) 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. Place the grill/meat pan centrally on the oven shelf. Ensure the oven door is fully closed.

Turn the control knob (C) clockwise and select the required cooking temperature. The pilot light ( 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.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions

‘S’ SLOW COOK 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:

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.

OPERATION:

(for models DE77 & DQ77):

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

2. Select Slow Cooking Temperature ‘S’ by turning the Main Oven Temperature Control (C) & Function Control (D) clockwise to Fan Oven mode.

(for models DE47 & DQ47):

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 Control (C).

STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:

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, if 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) 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.

Main Oven Grilling

(DE77 & DQ77)

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

GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE DOOR CLOSED.

- Do Not line the grill pan with aluminium foil.

- Ensure that the grill pan is cleaned after every use. Excess fat build-up in the bottom of the pan could cause a fire hazard.

- Preheat the grill on the required setting for 5 minutes

Grilling Procedure:

1. Open the oven door and position the rod shelf as recommended in the grilling chart (see below) for the food being cooked.

2. Turn the multifunction selector switch to or and then turn the Main Oven temperature control to the required setting to pre-heat for approximately 5 minutes.

3. Position the grill pan centrally under the grill element and push back as far as the location stops on the rod shelf.

4. Leave the oven thermostat at setting MAX for toast and for fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking turn the thermostat to a lower setting, after initial sealing on both sides at MAX. The thicker the food, the lower the thermostat should be set. If excessive smoke is emitted, reduce the setting.

5. After use always return both controls to their OFF (O) position.

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 SIDES

(Top Oven Sides, Main Oven Sides and Rear Panel)

(a) How "Stayclean" works.

The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners (Main Oven rear panel) 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 (Fan Oven mode only). 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.

MAIN OVEN SIDES AND REAR PANEL

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

2. CLEANING GRILL, TOP OVEN AND MAIN OVEN

(a) Base & Rear of Top Oven and Base of Main Oven.

Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For more stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad.

OVEN SHELVES

MAIN OVEN BASE

GRILL PAN

BASE & REAR

MEAT PAN

(b) Grill Pan, Meat Pan & Oven Shelves.

To prevent stains from being burnt on to the grill pan, food support and rod shelf, always wash immediately after use in warm soapy water. Use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan, meat pan and the base of the oven.

DO NOT use aerosol cleaners on this oven as they could adversely affect the fan motor unit, and cannot be wiped off the fan blade.

To clean the Solarplus Grill, use a clean, damp, soapy cloth and wipe over. If stubborn stains remain, gently clean with a well soaped nylon scouring pad and wipe over with a damp cloth.

DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils, wire wool or proprietary oven cleaners on the grill element mesh.

Care and Cleaning

3. OVEN DOORS

(a) Control Panel

CONTROL PANEL

TRIMS

OVEN DOORS

Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean, dry cloth.

(b) Trims

It is advisable to clean the 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 clean, soft cloth wrung out in warm 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 clean, soft cloth.

Open the door fully. The glass panel may now be washed. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a well soaped, fine steel wool soap pad.

(d) Stainless trims (DE77 & DE47 only)

Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean dry cloth.

DO NOT use scouring pads, or abrasive powder, which will scratch the glass.

4. REPLACEMENT OF THE OVEN LAMP

TOP OVEN LAMP

DROP DOWN DOORS Remove the door inner glass as follows.

1. Open the door fully and unscrew the two screws securing the glass panel so that the securing brackets can be turned. There is no need to remove the screws completely.

2. Turn the brackets so that the glass can be removed and cleaned at the sink (Fig. 1.)

For slight soiling

Fig. 1.

3. The inside of the outer door glass can now be cleaned while still fitted to the cooker.

NEVER OPERATE THE COOKER WITHOUT THE INNER DOOR GLASS IN POSITION.

Refit the door inner glass as follows.

1. NOTE: The inner door glass has a special reflective coating on one side. Replace the door inner glass so that the statement: “IMPORTANT THIS FACE TOWARDS THE OVEN” can be read from the inner side of the door.

2. Turn the two securing brackets back to their original position to retain the glass and tighten the screws. (Fig. 2.)

Fig. 2.

Installation

Electrical Requirements

For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a competent person such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should be installed in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Regulations.

Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

Electrical Connections

The installer must check that the voltage shown at the rating plate corresponds with the house electricity supply. The cooker must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch, having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles placed in a readily accessible position adjacent to the cooker. If the cooker is to be wired into a connector unit, this may be positioned behind the cooker providing the following requirements are met: i) The connector unit must not project from the wall more than 25mm. ii) The top of the connector must not be more than 130mm above floor level.

Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the cooker. Pass the cable through the cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided. Allow sufficient cable for any future servicing. Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the cover. Make main connections in the connector unit or cooker control unit. This appliance conforms to B.S. EN 55014 regarding suppression of Radio and Television reception interference. A double Pole control switch having a minimum rating of 32 amps should be used to feed the cooker using a suitably rated cable. Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or over the cooker, a 45 amp Double Pole control switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated cables. We recommend a minimum of 4mm conforming to B.S. 6004 for connection of each appliance.

PVC insulated twin and earth cable

In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 4).

This appliance must not be installed over any other appliance that generates heat such as a plinth heater

Note: Due to many different types of installation, a mains cable is not supplied with this product. The installer will fit the correct type and length of cable.

Installation

Important

It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated i.e. having side, back, and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which could permit access to the oven unit when installed.

1. General

The appliance is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing which must be secured to the backing wall.

2. Ventilation

a. The oven housing unit cabinet dimensions must comply with fig. 4. b. An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or

bottom cupboards or shelves (see fig. 1).

c. It is necessary that the cabinets are provided with unobstructed ventilation,

i.e. from adjacent cabinetry. This can be done by either raising the base of the cabinets using the adjusting feet (or spacers) or alternatively by providing a slot in the cabinet plinth to the dimensions in fig. 1.

d. The air gap at rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the inner cabinet

space. Where it is intended to fit cupboards above the oven unit to ceiling height, it is essential that the warmed air is exhausted through the front of the cabinet (see fig. 1).

e. If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from

the oven when the door is opened could condense on and maybe stain the adjacent surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface should be made of a material that is heat resisting and easy to clean. Adjacent tall cabinets should not be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.

3. Final Installation

a. Using a spirit level, check that the housing cabinet is level from side to side

and from 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 is a two person lift) into the cabinet

and pushed fully home.

e. Finally, the oven is secured to the cabinet by means of the four Pozi Wash

Head screws - two through each side trim.

f. Remove all packaging material from the grill and oven interior.

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

THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.

Problem Check

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

Nothing Works

Timer Display shows "0:00" with "Auto" Flashing

Main oven and Top ovens do not work, but the grill works

Top oven and grill do not work, but Main oven works.

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.

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.

Your timer may be set for an Auto Cooking programme: Check the timer to see whether ‘Auto’ is lit or flashing. If it is then please follow the instructions given in the Timer section of this book to return the timer to Manual operation.

Operating the cooker under the following conditions may cause a safety device to operate: (a) Grilling with the door closed - Always grill with the

door fully open.

(b) Grilling for an excessively long period at maximum

setting - see Grilling guide. Switch off appliance and allow to cool for approx 30 mins. Switch the cooker back on and check that the Grill/Top oven is now operating.

Grill does not work

Grill keeps turning on and off

Timer buzzer / audible tone operates continually

Oven temperatures too high or low

Oven does not cook evenly

Ensure that the top oven control is in the off position.

When the Grill control is operating at less than its maximum setting, the Grill will cycle on and off, this is normal and not a fault.

To cancel the audible tone, press the minute minder button.

Check temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the Oven Temperature Charts. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended temperature slightly to suit your taste.

Check: (a) Temperature and shelf positions are as recommended

around them.

If something goes wrong...

Problem Check

Grilling is uneven.

Ensure that Grill pan has been positioned as stated in the Grilling section of this book.

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, contact Service

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 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.

(see KEY CONTACTS, back page).

Disposal of your product
