Oven Timer Operation

Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens
can be used.

AUTOMATIC COOKING

The Top Oven and Main Oven 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 only during the same
automatic cooking programme.

NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook automatically because
the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause
bacterial growth in food.

HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING

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.

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 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase
or decrease cooking times.

Main Oven - Fan Grilling

Fan grilling is a combination of heat from the grill element and the oven fan circulating the hot
air around the food.
Joints of meat and poultry will be browned as if they were cooked on a rotisserie or spit but
more economically as the door left closed.
If required, fan grilling can be timed using the Oven Auto timer.
Follow the timer instructions before selecting fan grill and the required temperature.

If Manual fan grilling is required always ensure the timer is set to Manual.
Do not use the oven without the removable oven roof in position with its front flange
facing downwards.

Operating Instruction

1. Open the oven door.

2. Select the correct shelf position, as stated in chart.

3. Turn the selector switch to the Fan grill position.

4. Turn the oven thermostat control to the required temperature (see Fan Grilling Roasting
Chart).

5. Position the meat pan centrally under the grill elements.

6. Close the oven door.

7. After use always return both controls to the off position.

8. If the oven timer was used, reset to Manual.

As with the fan oven cooking there is no need to pre-heat the oven – yet another economy
feature. Also you can cook more than one thing at a time – even up to 4 small chickens.

Temperatures

These will be similar to those used for the more traditional form of roasting but the guide will
give you an indication of which temperature to set the Thermostat. But remember that because
of the way the oven is heated this is a more economical way of roasting.

General Recommendations

Most types of meat and poultry cooked by this method will have an all over brownness and
crispness on the outside. The only exceptions are very lean joints, such as veal, which, because of
its low fat content, is better cooked using conventional heating.

1. Always place the pan on the shelf position recommended. (See Chart).

2. There is no need to preheat the oven before cooking and all fan grilling should be carried out

with the oven door closed, this saves energy.
The cooking temperatures and times are calculated from a cold oven.

3. After rinsing and drying meat, place on the food roasting support rack over the pan supplied.

4. Position meat in oven as recommended in the roasting chart.

5. Fan grilling is ideally suited for cooking all types of poultry and larger joints of meat (e.g.

stuffed, rolled joints and legs of pork and lamb). Results will be as if you had cooked the food
on a rotisserie. If you use frozen meat or poultry it must be completely defrosted before it is
cooked.

6. When cooking a joint always grill it with the fat side uppermost in order to crisp it. For bigger

joints or where there is little bone, grill at the lower temperature given in the table and cook
for a longer time per kg.

7. When cooking any type of poultry, start grilling the underside uppermost and turn breast

uppermost about a third to halfway through the cooking period. If cooking stuffed poultry
allow slightly longer cooking time.

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 non-heating
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 Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to the setting.

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 & thin.

Fan

Only

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.

It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to
prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes

Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a
conventional oven, pre-heating the oven is often unnecessary. However, foods such as bread,
scones, Yorkshire pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.

The charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit
personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by
10˚C.

Because the fan oven cooks so efficiently, we recommend that when cooking any recipes not
designed for a fan oven, you reduce the temperature by about 25˚C and the time by about 10
minutes in the hour. If large quantities are being cooked it will be necessary to
increase the cooking time somewhat to compensate for the extra oven load.

Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If
food is placed in an already hot oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced,
depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked.

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.

Oven Positions

Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very even, most foods will cook
satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced:

To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390x300mm (15ins x 12ins)
and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm (13ins x 10ins), these should be positioned
centrally on the oven shelf.

– Do not fit shelves upside down.

– Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be restricted.

– Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on the floor of the oven.

To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use should be removed
from the oven.

27

Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes

Temperature and Time

The oven is provided with two shelves. A third is available as an optional extra, contact
Genuine Parts & Accessories Hotline (see back page) for further information.
If three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it
may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the charts by a few minutes, to
allow for the loss of heat due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger
mass of food.
Baking trays should allow an equal gap on all sides of the oven.

To prepare meat and poultry for Roasting in your Fan Oven

(a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which has for been stored in a

refrigerator should be allowed to come to room temperature before cooking, and

frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven.
(b)The weight of any stuffing used should be added before calculating the cooking time.
(c) Place meat/poultry in the main oven meat pan supplied with your cooker. Small joints

weighing less than 1.75kg (31/2lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin – or

they may be ‘pot roasted’ – a small joint or a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven

splashing and evaporation of meat juices.
(d) Additional fat should not be added, except for veal, very lean meat or poultry which

can either be ‘larded’ with fat bacon or brushed very sparingly with cooking oil or

melted fat.
(e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with seasoned flour to give a

crisp outer surface. The skin of duck and goose should be pricked to release excess fat

during cooking, and the rind of pork should be scored, brushed lightly with oil, and

rubbed with salt to give crisp crackling.
(f) Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a tent of aluminium foil will be juicy

and tender. Roasting bags offer the same advantages. Always follow the

manufacturer’s pack instructions, and remember to reduce the temperatures given

for conventional ovens by approximately 25˚C and the time by approximately 10

minutes per hour.
(g)Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with cooking oil or melted fat.
(h) It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an electric oven and stock or liquid

should not be added to the meat pan since this only causes unnecessary soiling,

steam and condensation.

Frozen Meat and Poultry

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a domestic
refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g,1 lb), or at room temperature (allowing 2-3
hours per 450g, 1 lb).

Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven.

It is essential to wash thoroughly and cook meat and poultry immediately after
defrosting.

Main Oven - Circulaire Roasting

CIRCULAIRE ROASTING

Circulaire roasting - food is placed on the roasting rack, this allows the oven fan to
circulate the hot air around the food, making it suitable for thin foods, such as chops,
steaks, sausages as well as meat joints and poultry, as it will cook both sides at the
same time. it is possible to cook on any shelf position, as the temperature in the oven
is evenly distributed. Also, the oven heats up more quickly and generally will cook
food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, so pre-heating is not necessary
for most foods. For a guide on “cooking times” and “cooking temperatures” see
“Circulaire Roasting Chart”. If required, circulaire roasting can be timed using the Oven
Timer. Follow the timer instructions before selecting Fan Oven function and the
required temperature.
Note: It is also possible to cook food on the roasting rack on one shelf, while cooking
different types of food at the same temperature, on other shelf positions (three shelves
maximum).

Operating Instructions:

STEP 1. Ensure the Oven Timer is set to manual.

STEP 2. Turn the control knob (B) clockwise to the fan oven function.

STEP 3. After use, turn controls (A) and (B) to the Off (O) position.

Note: At the end of a 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.

Ensure that the oven shelf is in the position you require.
Place the food centrally on the roasting rack.
Position the roasting rack on top of the grill/meat pan and anti-splash tray.
Place the grill/meat pan centrally on the oven shelf.
Ensure the oven door is fully closed.

Turn the control knob (A) clockwise and select the required cooking
temperature. The pilot light (
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.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions

‘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 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, it
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
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.

Main Oven Grilling

DO NOT allow young children near the appliance when the grill is in use as the
surfaces can get extremely hot.

GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE DOOR CLOSED.

- Do Not line the grill pan with aluminium foil.

- Ensure that the grill pan is cleaned after every use. Excess fat build-up in the bottom of
the pan could cause a fire hazard.

- Preheat the grill on the required setting for 5 minutes

Grilling Procedure:

1. Open the oven door and position the rod shelf as recommended in the grilling chart (see
below) for the food being cooked.

2. Turn the multifunction selector switch to Half Grill or Full Grill and then turn the Main
Oven temperature control to the required setting to pre-heat for approximately 5
minutes.

3. Position the grill pan centrally under the grill element and push back as far as the
location stops on the rod shelf.

4. Leave the oven thermostat at setting 230˚C for toast and for fast cooking of foods. For
thicker foods requiring longer cooking turn the thermostat to a lower setting, after initial
sealing on both sides at 230˚C. The thicker the food, the lower the thermostat should be
set.
If excessive smoke is emitted, reduce the setting.

5. After use always return both controls to their OFF (O) position.

Care and Cleaning

Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off and
the appliance is fully cold.

1. “STAYCLEAN” OVEN LINERS
(Top Oven Sides, Main Oven Sides and Rear Panel)

TOP OVEN SIDES

MAIN OVEN SIDES AND REAR PANEL

(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 biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage the
“Stayclean” oven liners.

(b) Grill Pan, Meat Pan & Oven Shelves.

To prevent stains from being burnt on to the grill pan,
food support and rod shelf, always wash immediately
after use in warm soapy water.
Use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad to remove
stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan, meat pan
and the base of the oven.

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.

(c) Removable Grill Roof Liners (Top Oven and Main Oven).

Pull the grill roof liner out slowly, taking care not to damage the
elements. Clean using a damp soapy cloth. If stubborn stains
remain, gently clean with a well soaped fine steel wool soap
pad amd soapy water and then wipe over with a clean damp
cloth.

(a) Control Panel
Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean,
dry cloth.

(b) Trims

It is advisable to clean the trims regularly to prevent any build up
of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the cooker.
The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims
with a clean, 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 clean, soft cloth.

(c) Inner Door Panels & Glass

Open the door fully. The glass panel may now be washed.
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a well soaped, fine
steel wool soap pad.

Installation

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 at 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 4mm
B.S. 6004 for connection of each appliance.

2

PVC insulated twin and earth cable conforming to

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.

39

Installation

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 Pozi Wash Head

screws - two through each side trim.

f. Remove all packaging material from the grill and oven interior.
