The recommended temperatures given are for conventional and fan
ovens. When using a fan oven it will be necessary to reduce the cooking
time by 10 minutes per hour and lower the temperature by up to 20˚C.
Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessary to pre-heat the oven.
However, pre-heating is recommended when cooking items such as
Yorkshire puddings, whisked sponges and bread.Your experience with the
cooker will enable you to select the cooking time and temperature best
suited for your recipe.
Condensation may become evident on the inner door and water may drip
through the vent.This is normal when heat and moisture are present and
may be the result of any of the following:
1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.
2. The moisture content of the food:
eg. meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding,roasting meat, etc.
3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one time.
Page 13
Sealed Hob
USE OF HOTPLATES
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob
surface.
Turn the control to 6 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 small Hotplate is 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.

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.
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.

The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either
the twin grill elements on together or the single left hand grill
element only, depending upon which direction the control knob is
rotated.
- With the control rotated clockwise 1 through to 4 the twin elements
will come on together.
- With the control turned anti-clockwise 1 through to 4 and the single
left hand element will come on only.
The control is Off at O.
Note: The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in
the OFF position.
Food which requires browning only should be placed under the hot
grill, directly on the shelf on the first or second position from the
bottom of the oven, according to the depth of the dish.
Open the Grill door to the grilling position. i.e. fully.
With the grill door in the grilling position, heating the grill is achieved
by turning the control clockwise to the desired ‘grill setting’ on the
control panel.
Never:
line the grill pan with aluminium foil.
Note:
Preheat the grill at maximum setting for approximately 5 minutes.
The grill pan is placed on the shelf or grill pan support/runner and
should be correctly positioned under the grill element. Leave the
control at maximum for toast, sealing and fast cooking of foods.
For thicker foods requiring longer cooking,turn the switch to a lower
setting after the initial sealing on both sides at maximum. The thicker

Top Oven Cookery Notes
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.
There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from
the base), do not use shelves upside down.
Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the oven floor.
There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between the top of the food
and the grill element.
Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when main oven is in use.
Operation
Cooking meat/
poultry
Top oven as
a warming
compartment
for plates
To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise.The top oven pilot
light will come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required
temperature. The pilot light will automatically go on and off during
cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs), or poultry, up to 3.6kg (8 lbs)
(60cm cookers) in weight can be roasted in a small meat pan in the top
oven. Larger joints of meat/poultry weighing more than 3.6kg (8 lbs)
(60cm cookers) should be roasted in the main oven.
Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven as air
circulation will be seriously restricted.
Place the plates/dishes on the shelf,positioned on runner 1, turn top
oven control to 100˚C for 10-15 minutes.Never use grill control.
18
Page 19
Main Oven Cookery Notes
The oven is fitted with wirework shelf supports and two rod shelves.
To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting the require
temperature between 80°C (176°F) and 230°C (450°F) as recommended in
the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and
remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will
then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat
maintains the correct temperature.
It should be noted that at the end of the 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.
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food
at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often
unnecessary.However, foods such as bread, scones,Yorkshire pudding, do
benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.
The ‘oven temperature 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.
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts food should be 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.
Oven positions
Temperature
and time
Frozen meat
and poultry
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven is very even, most
foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should
be evenly spaced.
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large
quantities of food. Additional shelves can be purchased through your
oven supplier or our Parts Department (see Key Contacts, back page).
Food or utensils should Never be placed directly an the floor of the
oven for cooking.
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be
seriously restricted.To ensure oven circulation do not use meat pans larger
than 390 x 300mm (15”x12”) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm
(13”x 10”), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf. Food
should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven.To avoid unnecessary
cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use, should be removed from the
oven.
When all 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 temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to
extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays
should have an equal gap at either side of the oven.
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).

If using aluminium foil, never: 1. Allow foil to touch sides of oven. 2.Cover oven interior with foil. 3. Cover 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.

Care and Cleaning
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.
Cleaning materials to avoid:
1. Plastic or nylon pads
2. Household abrasive powders and scourers.These may scratch the surface.
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame.
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AT THE MAINS SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.
Electric sealed hotplates:
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold,using a soap filled Brillo
pad, following the grain of the hotplate.This will ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages
are removed.Wipe over with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been
removed.Finally,turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes,then smear a little cooking oil to
provide a protective coating,or the restorative agent Homecare Four Hob, available from our
Parts Department or leading supermarkets. The bezels will mellow with use to a burnished gold
colour,a soap filled Brillo pad will help to keep them bright, care should be taken not to damage
the vitreous enamel hob surface.
Note:We DO NOT recommend the use of decorative covers over the hotplates as these can hold
condensation and cause corrosion.Accidental operation with a cover in place can cause intense
heat. Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates,as this may cause corrosion.

Care and Cleaning
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.
Decorative trims
It is advisable to clean the decorative 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 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.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners/powders which may scratch the surface.
Take 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.
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that the
lettering is not blurred or removed.
Control Panel:
Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.
Grill Door:
Wipe over the grill door decorative outer panel; 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.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch the surface.
Ensure that the glass panel (where fitted) is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.

compartment.
Main oven:
1. Glass Door – open the oven door fully.The glass panel may now be cleaned.
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad.Do not use scouring pads,
or abrasive powder, which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not
subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.
For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned,while still warm. For removing stubborn
stains see ‘Cleaning the Doors’, next page.
2. Remove the rod shelves and meat pan.
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, meat pan and the
floor of the oven. Refer to the instructions on previous page for cleaning the shelf supports.
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.
