Control Knobs
The knobs for the hotplates can be rotated in either
direction to provide variable heat control, the Main
Oven knob can only be rotated clockwise from the Off
position.
!: Always ensure that all controls are in the OFF
position, when the appliance is not in use.
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.
Turn the control to 12 for fast cooking. To cook more
slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting
according to the size of the saucepan and the amount
of liquid. The two small Hotplates are specially for
smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering.
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan
as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of the
hotplate.
Operating the controls when the grill is in use
In common with all cookers having controls sited above
the grill compartment, care must be taken when setting
the controls, due to hot air being emitted from the grill
compartment.

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.

This indicates that the temperature of the
corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C,
even when the heating element has been switched off
but is still hot.
Choice of saucepans
It is essential that the saucepan’s you use on the
ceramic hob are suitable.
ALWAYS USE:
Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.
saucepan's manufactured from aluminium
(enamelled or machined) or stainless steel.
Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan must
cover the heating zone completely.
saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to reduce
cooking time and energy use.
condition, follow these simple
guidelines:
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a
cooking utensil, as this will result in damage
to the surface of the hob.
Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage
may occur to the smooth surface of the hob.
Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as
this will cause scratches in the surface of the
hob.
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact
with the hob surround.
Do not place anything between the base of the
utensil and the ceramic hob, e.g. do
not use asbestos mats, aluminium
or wok stand.
Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items
on the hob when it is not in use.
Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic
containers on the hob.
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas
switched On unless they are being used.
Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they
are switched On. We recommend not to
place large preserving pans or fish kettles
across two heating areas.

Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated
areas. Always ensure that they are placed
centrally over the heated areas and have the
same diameter as the heating area used.
Do
Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both
clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between the
pan and the hob can cause pitting of the
surface of the glass.
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base
diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used
on the front cooking areas.
Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned
safely.
Always take extra care when cooking foods with a
high sugar content eg. jam, as spillage will
cause damage to the surface of the glass.
Always clean spills immediately (see Care and
Cleaning).
IMPORTANT As with any cooking appliance there
could be some fire risk attached to the heating of
oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils
containing oil must not be left unattended (e.g. to
answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the
patterned cooking areas.
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover
the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or
oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating
or cooking period.
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially
frozen food. This only lowers the 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.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from
streaks of oil or fat.
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the
hob.
NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and
injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up
the burning pan and rushing outside with it.
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
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.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that you
FACE and ARMS are WELL PROTECTED from the
flames to save you from becoming hurt.
3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE
PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES
BEFORE MOVING IT.
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade
immediately.

Use good quality flat-based
cookware on all electric heat
sources.
Always ensure pans have
clean, dry bases before
use.
Ensure pans match size of
heating area.
Remember good quality pans
retain heat well, so generally
only a low or medium heat is
necessary.
Ensure pan handles are
positioned safely and away
from heat sources.
Always lift pans, do not drag. Drag or slide utensils, along
Always use pan lids except
when frying.
Deal with spillages
immediately but with care.
Use gauze, metal pan
diffusers, asbestos mats and
stands e.g. Wok stands - they
can cause overheating.
Use utensils with skirts or
rims e.g. buckets and some
kettles.

Grilling
GB
Setting the Grill
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME
HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN
SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH
THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED.
GUIDE TO GRILLING
Pre-heat the grill for 5 minutes on maximum control
setting before grilling
The settings in the above guide have been developed
to cook food successfully without excessive fat spitting
and splashing.
The top oven/grill pilot light will glow initially and remain
on until the grill reaches the required temperature.
To operate the grill proceed as follows:
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.
Warning: Take care as the grill will be hot – always
wear oven gloves. Always ensure that the grill pan
is clean BEFORE use. Excess fat build up in the
bottom of the pan could cause a fire hazard. Never
line grill pan with foil.

l Open the grill door.
l Pre-heat the grill on setting 6 for approximately 5
minutes (see chart on guide to grilling).
l Fix the grill pan handle securely in position. See
below.
l Food which only requires browning should be
placed directly on/in the grill pan in the grill pan
runner, or on the floor of the grill compartment. (the
grill pan grid may be removed.)
l Leave the control on setting 6 for toast, sealing and
fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring
longer cooking turn the control to a lower setting
after the initial sealing, on both sides, on setting 6.
The thicker the food the lower the control should be
set.
Grill Pan Handle
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.

Top Oven Conventional Cooking
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).
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:
l 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.
l 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.
l Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.
GB
Plate warming in the top oven
Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the top oven will
be heated when the main oven is in use. When the main
oven is not in use, for instance when a meal is being
cooked on the hob, place the plates and serving dishes
on the shelf using the bottom runner and turn the top
oven control to approximately 100 °C. A maximum time
of 10-12 minutes is all that is required to heat the plates
and dishes.
NEVER operate the grill control when using the top oven
for cooking or warming plates and dishes.
WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items china or items
which could be affected by heat into the oven.

Main Oven
Cookery Notes
GB
This control switches on the main oven. To select Fan
Cooking - Turn the control clockwise and select any
temperature between 100°C and Max. As the control
is turned the fan will start.The main oven light will
immediately come on.
The thermostat light indicates that the main oven is
heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside the
oven has reached the setting made with the thermostat
knob. At this point, the light will turn on and off as the
oven maintains the temperature at a constant level.
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on
throughout cooking. The main oven thermostat light
will come on until the oven reaches therequired
temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the oven
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided by
an element situated at the back of the oven, around the
fan.
Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat,
reducing cooking times and often eliminating the
need for pre-heating the oven. It is also ideal for batch
cooking where food is cooked on more than one level,
because the forced circulation of hot air gives an even
temperature from the top to the bottom of the oven.
To use the oven proceed as follows:
The shelves should be evenly spaced. To avoid
unnecessary cleaning, shelves which are not in use
should be removed from the oven.
Set the main oven control to the required
temperature. Pre-heating is not normally necessary,
but some foods such as bread, scones and
Yorkshire pudding do benefit from being placed in
a hot oven (see cooking charts).
Place the food to be cooked in the centre of each
shelf to allow for even air circulation around the
food.

Using The Main Oven
for other Functions
‚S’ SLOW setting
„Slow” cook is identified as ‚S’ on the oven temperature
scale. 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 ‚S’ (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning
Main Oven Temperature Control clockwise ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Storage and 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 (4 lb 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 meat 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 food first with foil and then the
lid 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. Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking
and should be included in day cooking sessions,
where they can be checked from time to time.

Care and Cleaning
GB
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE
COOKER IS COLD BEFORE CLEANING.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT
ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING
POWDER,HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS,
AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL
CLEANERS OF ANY KIND, UNLESS SPECIFIED
BELOW.
‚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 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 oven without a meat
pan at maximum setting for a couple of hours.
Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the conditioner
will make the surface easier to clean thus ensuring that
years of heavy abrasive cleaning do not progressively
dull the surface.
Grill
Remove the wire grid food support, it is best to wash
these items immediately after use to prevent stains
from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the
Grill compartment, use a fine steel wool soap pad to
remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the
floor of the compartment. Wipe over the control panel
with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Control Panel
Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols,
scouring pads or abrasive powder for cleaning the
plastic knobs as damage will occur.
Decorative Trims
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly
to prevent any build up of soiling. The recommended
method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a 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
soft clean cloth.
Ceramic hob
To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure
that the hob and cooking utensils are clean and dry
before use. Regular use of cleaner conditioner is
recommended for proper care and protection of the
hob surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob for
the first time. It contains a mild cleaning agent, so that
subsequent applications may clean off soil and apply
a protective film at the same time. For stubborn stains
or heavy soiling use any of the following materials, and
finish off with conditioner.
1. Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.
2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.
3. Special Powder Cleanser.
Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are
present in hard water, and some foods, may cause
‘discolourations’ that appear in the form of grey or
brown stains. The stains sometimes appear to be in or
under the glass surface. If there are some persistent
stains after using any of the other recommended
cleaning materials, powder cleanser may be applied,
following the manufacturers instructions. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or the powder cleanser on the
painted metal framework.
Ovens
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. Clean the glass part of
the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive
cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal
scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause
the glass to crack.
Oven Shelf Supports
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher
safe.
To remove hold the support at the front and pull away
from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in a sink
or a dishwasher. When removed it allows access to
the oven side, which can be cleaned with warm soapy
water.
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear
fixing hole and push in the front leg.
