You must read these instructions prior to using your appliance and retain them for future use.

To help you make the best use of your cooker, PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET CAREFULLY. Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting service. The guarantee is only applicable if the cooker has been installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions. The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.

When first using the cooker 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 any temporary finish and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

Introduction

When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted. This will cease after a period of use.

Our policy is one of continual improvement in design and development, therefore strict accuracy of illustrations and descriptions cannot be guaranteed.

Hotplate

Use of Hotplates

Note: Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.

The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power levels. Each control can be used to select one of six temperature settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at position 6.

Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of the hotplate.

CONTROL SETTINGS GUIDE

This is provided only as a guide – settings also depend on the type of pan used and the quality of food.

Safety requirements for deep fat frying

1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.

2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.

Knob Position Type of food

1 To melt butter, chocolate, etc.

1 or 2 To heat food gently.

To kee p small amounts of water simmering. To heat sauces, containing egg yolks and butter. To simmer: stews, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit.

3 To heat solid and liquid foods.

Keep water boiling. Thaw frozen vegetables. Make 2-3 egg omelettes.

4 or 5 To cook foods, just above simmering.

To maintain 'rolling' boil for preserve making.

5 or 6 To seal meat and fry fish.

6 Frying potatoes.

Bringing water to the boil. Deep fat frying. Dissolve sugar for preserve making.

3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.

4. Never 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 to 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.

Ceramic Hob

CAUTION: IF AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE SURFACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE SUPPLY.

Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface as damage can occur. The following boiling plates are located beneath the decorative circular patterned cooking areas:Front left 6 heat: 1200W Rear left 6 heat: 1700W Rear right 6 heat: 1200W Front right 6 heat: 1700W

Warning: Warning:

Warning: Even though the cooking area has returned to its original colour it may still be hot. The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either direction. Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the heat 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. Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the panel when cooking is finished and before serving food. It is inadvisable at any time to leave a heating element switched on without a pan in position as this wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect elements against over-heating, safety cut-outs have been incorporated with each element. After several minutes with the control at setting 6 the safety cutout switches the element

Use good quality flat-based cookware on all electric heat sources.

Use gauze, metal pan diffusers, asbestos mats and stands e.g. Wok stands - they can cause overheating.

Always ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use.

Use utensils with skirts or rims e.g. buckets and some kettles.

Ensure pans match size of heating area.

Use badly dented or distorted pans.

Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only a low or medium heat is necessary.

Leave an element switched on when not cooking.

Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources.

Cook food directly on the ceramic glass.

Always lift pans, do not drag. Drag or slide utensils, along

the hob surface.

Always use pan lids except when frying.

Deal with spillages immediately but with care.

Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front cooking areas.

Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.

Hotplate

Choosing Your Utensils

Do not use utensils with rough bases. Do not use lightweight utensils with thin, distorted or

uneven bases.

Do not use lightweight enamelled steel utensils. Do not use cast iron utensils. Do not use utensils with recessed, scrolled or ridged

bases. Do not

use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than l mm as this will reduce the performance of the hob.

Do not use a utensil with a convex base. Do not use glass ceramic utensils. Do not use use lightweight saucepans with plain thin

copper bases on ceramic or halogen hot plates.

Note: Note:

Note: All copper pans are excellent conductors of heat, and are hard wearing and strong, but need quite a lot of care. They can be very heavy and do not usually have completely flat bases. The interiors are usually lined with a different material such as tin.

A stainless steel pan with a sandwich base of aluminium and stainless steel is an excellent conductor of heat and is suitable for use on ceramic and halogen hobs, providing they are used in accordance with the saucepans manufacturers’ recommendations.

Stainless steel pans with a sandwich base of aluminium and copper are excellent conductors of heat. If using stainless steel saucepans with aluminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic and halogen hobs, the use of these pans must be in accordance with the saucepan manufacturers’ recommendations. Extra care should be taken to ensure the base of the pan and the hob is cleaned, and the hob conditioned, after each and every use, when using this type of saucepan.

If these recommendations are not followed, the result will be a build up of small copper deposits on the surface of your hob which, if not cleaned after each use, will result in permanent marking of your hob.

Always lift the pan from the hob,

do not do not

do not drag or

slide across the hob surface as damage may occur.

Grilling

A switch operated by the door changes the heating element configuration between grill and oven operation. When the door is open, the top inner element is activated for intense downward heat; when the door is closed, the top outer and lower elements are activated to provide even oven heating.

To operate the grill proceed as follows:To operate the grill proceed as follows:

To operate the grill proceed as follows:

z Open the grill door. z Pre-heat the grill on setting 6 for approximately 5

minutes (see chart on guide to grilling).

z Fix the grill pan handle securely in position. See

below.

z 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.)

z 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.

Fixing the 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.

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.

The food to be cooked should be placed on the grill pan/grill pan food support. Place the grill pan on the runners and push back to the stop position when the grill pan is correctly positioned beneath the grill element.

Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the grill compartment will be heated when the oven is in use.

Main Oven

Oven Control

Heating of the oven is achieved by turning control clockwise to the required temperature scale on the control panel, as recommended in the temperature charts. The indicator light will immediately come on and will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature. The cooking charts provided in this book are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. T o suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C. The oven is fitted with two rod shelves. The oven is heated by two tubular sheathed elements located under the floor of the oven and on the oven roof, inside the cavity . 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

The correct positioning of food is indicated in the temperature charts. T o prepare meat and poultry for roasting in your conventional oven.

(a)Wipe the joint, dry well with a clean cloth, kitchen

tissue etc. and weigh it. Meat which has been stored in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room temperature for approximately 30 minutes before cook ing, and frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven.

(b)The weight of any stuffing used should be added

to the oven ready weight of the meat / poultry before calculating the cooking time.

(c)Place the joint in the meat pan supplied with your

cooker. Small joints weighing less than 1.75kg (31/2 lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin - or they may be ‘pot roasted’ - a small joint in 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

veryvery

very

sparingly sparingly

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) Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed

with cooking oil or melted fat.

(g)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.

For optimum cooking performance, there must be clearance between meat pan and oven sides. The meat pan must be placed lengthways in the oven to allow for air circulation.

Times and Temperatures for Roasting

The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast it too quickly, at too high a temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried out at a low temperature. When a lower temperature is used, the joint loses less weight, is more tender (too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry) and the splashing of fat onto the oven interior is reduced to a minimum. When a complete meal is being cooked in the oven, cooking time may need to be increased and temperature may need to be raised for approximately the last 30 minutes of the cooking period (for instance when cooking Y orkshire pudding to serve with roast beef). The suggested times and temperatures should be used as a guide, but may vary according to:-

1. Whether you prefer meat rare, medium or well done.

2. The size and shape of your joint.

(a)A short thick joint requires a longer cooking

period than a long thin joint.

(b)A small joint under 1.5kg (3 lbs) takes longer per

450g (1 lb) cook in the time given for ‘minutes’ per 450g (1 lb) without the ‘minutes’ over added.

(c)Boned/rolled and stuffed joints take longer to

cook through than those with a bone.

N.B.N.B.

N.B.

Remember to switch off the oven control after cooking is finished. If the door of the oven is left open for long periods of time with the control switch ON, then the grill element will become hot. The correct positioning of food is indicated in the temperature charts.

If using aluminium foil:

1 Remember it is important to increase the cooking time by one third. 2 Do not allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven. 3 Do not cover the oven interior with foil. 4 Do not cover the oven shelves with foil.

The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a joint, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat thermometer will indicate when the required internal temp has been reached.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions

‘S’ SLOW 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 ‘S’ (Slow Cooking T emperature) by turning the Main Oven 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 Ib) 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°C for 30 minutes before 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 fora 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.

Care and Cleaning

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 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 Do not

Do not use abrasive cleaners or the powder cleanser on the painted metal framework. Cleaner Conditioner Cleaner Conditioner

Grill

Remove the grill pan and 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.

Doors

Wipe over the outer door glass panels with a cloth

wrung out in warm soapy water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water , dry with a soft clean cloth. Ensure that glass doors are not subjected to

any sharp mechanical blows. Glass Inner Door Panel (where fitted) – open the

door fully and unscrew the two screws securing the glass panel, taking care not to allow the glass to fall. The glass panel may now be washed at the sink. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. Ensure the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows. Take particular care not to damage the inner surface which is coated with a heat reflective layer . After cleaning, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.

Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass removed.

T ake care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift the door seal from the oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips. T ake care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that the lettering is not blurred or removed.

Ovens

Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven.

Oven Shelf Supports

The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe. T o 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.

T o refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.

Oven Lamp Replacement

Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip the light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift. Reach into the aperture with fingers, and unscrew the lamp anticlockwise. Fit replacement lamp (25W 300°C rated SES), refit dome.
