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
cooker into position between cabinets.
the
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.

The Cooking Modes
in your Cooker
Your new cooker is equipped with a number of
different cooking modes:
Conventional Heating (Top Oven)
- with upper and lower heat. This system is
particularly suitable for roasting and baking on one
shelf only.
Variable Grilling (Top Oven)
- the oven can also be used for conventional grilling
with a full or half width fully controllable grill.
Note: The Top Oven door should be open when
grilling.
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
particular about shelf positions and that you can
bake at more than one level simultaneously (Batch
Baking).
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 in the cycle to guarantee a
homogeneous temperature within the oven. A
temperature is suggested on this mode but this can
be altered using the '+/-' control knob.
Fish (Main Oven)
- this mode provides gently pulsing top and rear
heat to lightly poach fish dishes without overcooking
or drying out. A temperature is suggested on this
mode but this can be altered using the '+/-' control
knob.
Rising (Main Oven)
- this mode heats and holds the oven at 40°C. It is
ideal for proving bread and yeast based dough
mixtures. When this mode is selected a cooking
duration of 14 minutes is automatically set, this can
be altered by pressing the 'time/mode' button until
the cooking duration icon flashes. Then use the '+/-'
control knob to adjust the cooking duration.
GB
Traditional (Main Oven)
- the upper and rear heating elements are switched
on in this position. The traditional oven brings an
outstanding level of temperature distribution and
reduced consumption. In traditional cooking use
only one rack to ensure good heat distribution. By
using the various shelf positions available you can
balance the quantity of heat between the upper and
lower part. If cooking requires more heat from below
or above, use the lower or higher shelves
respectively.
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.
Bread cycle - Auto
- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour.
When this mode is selected the time and
temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for
baking bread weighing up to 1.5kg, either in a tin or
on a baking tray. This mode includes a proving
cycle and a baking cycle. If an initial proving cycle
is needed this can be done using the RISE mode
(8). Some recipe ideas are included in the recipe
book supplied with the cooker.
Cake cycle - Auto
- this mode is fully automatic and lasts for 1 hour.
When this mode is selected the time and
temperature cannot be adjusted. It is suitable for
baking sponge based cakes that take between 30
minutes and 1 hour to cook. Some recipe ideas are
included in the recipe book supplied with the
cooker.
