Disposal of your product
Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.
To help remove the ‘new’ smell, heat up the empty ovens to maximum temperature for a minimum of two or three hours, keeping the oven doors closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted,
this will cease after a period of use

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.

IMPORTANT
Before using your oven in the ordinary way, ALWAYS make sure that the timer has been set to MANUAL operation. Unless this is done, the main oven cannot heat up. Before seek­ing assistance, make sure this is done (refer to oven timer operation).
MULTIFUNCTION SELECTOR
Rotate the control knob in either direction to the required function. Many of the functions will also require the main oven thermostat to be set before the oven will heat up.
MAIN OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL
This is used in addition to the multifunction selector. This is used for the functions: fan oven, fan grill, half grill and full grill and convection oven. Turn the control clockwise to set the oven thermostat to the required temperature. If the timer is set correctly and the selector switch set to a suitable function an indicator light will illuminate (Fan Oven, Convection Oven and Fan Grilling modes only). This will remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains control of the oven temperature.
TOP OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Turn the control clockwise to set the top oven thermostat to the required temperature. An indicator light will illuminate. This will remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains control of the oven thermostat.
GRILL CONTROL
The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either both grill elements on together or the single left-hand grill element only. Turn the top oven control clockwise past the temperature settings to the half grill or full grill settings, depending on which you require. To set the grill power, turn the grill control to any setting 1 - 6.
After use always set the oven control back to ‘O’ (Off).
COOLING FAN
A gentle flow of air will be blown below the control panel when any control is used. In some instances this will continue after switching off. This helps to keep the control panel and knobs cool.

Oven Timer Operation
9
The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the automatic timer.
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.
Automatic Cooking
Hints on Automatic Cooking
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens can be used.
NEVER operate the grill or top oven when the main oven is set to cook automatically because the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause bacterial growth in food.

Know Your Timer
CLOCKFACE
The timer incorporates a 24 hour clock.
Ensure the correct time of day is always set, before using your cooker.
SYMBOLS
A ‘bell’ symbol will light up when you select a Minute Minder Period and will remain lit for the period set. At the end of the Minute Minder Period, the timer will emit an audible tone and the ‘bell’ symbol will disappear.
The ‘cookpot’ symbol will light up either:– – When the timer is in manual mode, or – During the actual Cook Period.
‘AUTO’ will light up:– – When the timer is first turned on it will flash. It will go out when a time of day
is set or when the timer is set to manual. The ‘AUTO’ symbol will flash at the end of an Auto Cooking programme to indicate that the programme has finished.
(When the ‘AUTO’ symbol is flashing, to return the oven to Manual operation, turn the oven controls off, ensure that the correct time of day is set, and press the “Manual” button – The ‘AUTO’ symbol will go out).
Here you can set a time period of up to 23 hours 59 minutes, that will count down. When it reaches zero, the timer will emit an audible tone. For Example: If you set 20 minutes, the audible tone will occur 20 minutes later.
Cook Period is the actual length of time for which, the timer will switch the oven(s) on as part of an “Auto Cooking” programme. (e.g. If you set 2 hours, the food will be cooked for 2 hours).
The time of day at which you want an “Auto Cooking” programme to end

For Example: If you set a “Cook Period” for 2 hours, and “End Time” of 11:00. The
timer will switch the oven(s) on at 9:00 and turn the oven(s) off at 11:00. You will hear a audible tone at 11:00, to indicate that the Auto Cooking Programme has finished.
Notes:
- When setting an Auto Cooking programme you will need to set the oven control(s) to the required temperature(s) when you set the timer.
- If an Auto Cooking programme has been set the oven(s) will only operate during the pre-programmed time.
