Safety Information

GB

When used properly your appliance is completely
safe but as with any electrical product there are
certain precautions that must be observed.
PLEASE READ THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW
BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE.

Always



Always make sure you remove all packaging

and literature from inside the oven and grill
compartments before switching on for the first time.

 Always make sure you understand the controls

prior to using the appliance.

 Always keep children away from the appliance

when in use as the surfaces will get extremely hot
during and after cooking.

 Always make sure all controls are turned off when

you have finished cooking and when not in use.

 Always stand back when opening an oven door to

allow any build up of steam or heat to disperse.

 Always use dry, good quality oven gloves when

removing items from the oven/grill.

 Always take care to avoid heat/steam burns when

operating the controls.

 Always turn off the electricity supply at the wall

switch before cleaning and allow the appliance to
cool.

 Always make sure the shelves are in the correct

position before switching on the oven.

 Always keep the oven and grill doors closed when

the appliance is not in use.

 Always take care when removing utensils from

the top oven when the main oven is in use as the
contents may be hot.

 Always keep the appliance clean as a build up of

grease or fat from cooking can cause a fire.

 Always follow the basic principles of food handling

and hygiene to prevent the possibility of bacterial
growth.

 Always keep ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
 Always refer servicing to a qualified appliance

service engineer.

 During use the oven becomes hot. Care should be

taken to avoid touching heating elements inside
the oven.

SAFETY ADVICE

IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER
PAN FIRE:

1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE
WALL SWITCH.

2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR
DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and
extinguish the fire.

3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60
MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT. Injuries are often
caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing
outside with it. NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER
TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the
extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use
water to extinguish oil or fat fires.

Never

 Never leave children unsupervised where a

cooking appliance is installed as all cooking
surfaces will be hot during and after use.

 Never allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of

the appliance.

 Never store items above the appliance that

children may attempt to reach.

 Never remove the oven shelves whilst the oven is

hot.

 Never heat up unopened food containers as

pressure can build up causing the container to
burst.

 Never store chemicals, food stuffs or pressurised

containers in or on the appliance, or in cabinets
immediately above or next to the appliance.

 Never operate the grill with the door closed as this

will cause the appliance to overheat.

 Never use the appliance as a room heater.
 Never use the grill to warm plates.
 Never dry any items on the oven doors.
 Never install the appliance next to curtains or other

soft furnishings.

 Never allow children to play with the appliance

controls.

 Never use 'steam cleaners'.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.

! The appliance should not be operated by people
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or
by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These
individuals should, at the very least, be supervised by
someone who assumes responsibility for their safety or
receive preliminary instructions relating to the operation
of the appliance.

! The appliance must be used by adults only for
the preparation of food, in accordance with the
instructions outlined in this booklet. Any other
use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room)
constitutes improper use and is dangerous.

The Cooking Systems
in your Double Oven

GB

Your new oven is equipped with three different cooking
systems:

1. Conventional Heating (Top Oven) - with upper
and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for
roasting and baking on one shelf only.

2. Grilling (Top Oven) - Has a full width, fully con-
trollable grill. The grill also has an economy setting
which enables you to use just the left section. NOTE:
The oven door should be open when grilling. (See
page „Operation when using the Top Oven for Gril­ling”.)

3. Fan Cooking (Lower Oven) - the fan oven
operates by constantly blowing heated air from an

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.

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 particular about shelf po­sitions and that you can bake at more than one level
simultaneously (Batch Baking).

including timer settings.

Using the grill pan kit

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle
securely before use:

1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external
‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)

2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits
exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)
and holds the pan from the bottom.

The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best
results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the
uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill
pan will make the collection of grease particles more
efficient and prevent the formation of smoke.

- Preheat the grill if indicated on grill chart.

- The grill pan must be placed on the correct shelf
and positioned centrally under the grill element.

- Leave the control at 4 or MAX (depending on Mo­del) for toast, and for fast cooking of foods.

- For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn
the switch to a lower setting after the initial sealing
on both sides at 4 or MAX (depending on Model).
The thicker the food, the lower the control should
be set.

- DO NOT line the grill pan with aluminium foil, as
this increases the amount of fat spitting which can
cause a fire.

- After use always return the grill control to the OFF
(0) 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 10°C. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.

SHELF POSITIONING

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.

Using the Main Oven
for Fan Cooking

GB

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 10°C. 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 never be placed directly on
the floor of the oven 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 two 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 posi-

tion (see Main Oven Temperature Charts.

Step 3 Place the food centrally on the shelf ensu-

ring the oven door is fully closed.

Step 4 Select the required cooking temperatu-

re (80°C - MAX) by turning control (C)
clockwise. 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.

C

Timer Main Oven Temperature

And Function Control

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

Using the Main Oven for
Other Functions

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.
Turn the Main Oven Temperature and Function Control

(C) clockwise to the
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 and
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.

‚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:

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 & Function Control (C)
clockwise.

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.

! When inserting the shelf
make sure the backstop is
at the rear of the cavity (see
image).

MAIN OVEN SIDES AND REAR PANE

(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.

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.

Installation

GB

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 on
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 4mm2 PVC insulated
twin and earth cable conforming to B.S. 6004 for
connection of each appliance.

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.

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 Phillips C/SK Head screws - two through
each side trim.

f. Remove all packaging material from the grill and

oven interior.
