Installation

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

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 the cooker into position between cabinets.

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. Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any grill elements.

Radio Interference

This appliance conforms to EN 55014 regarding suppression of radio and television interference.

Note: Take care in moving the cooker as it is heavy. Take care to ensure that any floor covering is not damaged.

Levelling

Four feet are fitted which can be adjusted up or down to set the height (900mm - 930mm) and level the cooker. The feet can be simply screwed in or out to lower or raise the cooker. After the correct height is achieved, lock the feet into position by tightening the locking nut using an open ended spanner.

CAUTION:

damaged if the cooker is not moved carefully. NOTE: Ensure oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelves.

SAFETY ADVICE IN CASE OF A CHIP-PAN FIRE

In the event of a chip pan fire 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.

Oven Timer Operation (C367E & C368E)

The oven timer offers you the following features:

1. Time of Day

2. Automatic Cooking

3. Minute Minder

Automatic Cooking

The Main Oven (only) 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 manually.

Hints on Automatic Cooking

1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook and require approximately the same temperature.

2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about to finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the food has not cooled down and does not

3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven, ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.

4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.

require reheating before serving.

5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.

6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so that the delay period is kept to a minimum.

7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to a minimum.

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

9. 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.

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

11.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.

12.Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

Timer Operation

1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.

2. Check that the electricity supply to the oven is turned On.

3. Check that the oven clock is at the right time of day.
