BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable). The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before use. We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum temperature, to burn off any residue from their surfaces. Accessible parts may become hotter than in normal use. Children should be kept away. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill/top oven is switched on and after a short time when the main oven is in use. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. During the initial period the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon does not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and reset following the instructions for the required setting.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the door(s) to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.

To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces. For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven. Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.

i) To stop the sound press any of the three buttons,

as Fig. 13. ii) The display will return to the time of day. iii) Turn off the oven controls.

6. THINGS TO NOTE

In the event of an interruption of the electricity supply, the timer will reset itself to zero, and all programming will be cancelled.

7. AUTOMATIC COOKING

It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as

short a time as possible before automatic

cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared

food is well within its use by date and that home

prepared food is fresh and of good quality. When cooking is complete, do not leave food to

stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly

if the food is not to be consumed immediately.

Always ensure food in the oven has been

covered before cooking if it is not possible to

remove food immediately after cooking.

THE CERAMIC HOB

Do not use the appliance if the ceramic glass is damaged. If a fault or crack becomes visible, disconnect the appliance immediately from the electricity supply and contact your local Service Force Centre.

USING THE HOB

• To operate the hotplates, turn the control knob in

either direction to vary the heat setting.

• The highest number represents the hottest

setting and the lowest number represents the

coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to

the quantity and type of food to be cooked.

RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS

Only saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan base should be approximately the same size as the cooking area. Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to remove edges and take off any deposits left from manufacture. Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases are available and do comply with the above recommendations.

NOTE:

Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being used. This is due to a safety device which prevents the glass from overheating.

Some switching ON and OFF when cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal, causes no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.

Excessive switching may however be caused by the use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which is smaller than the heated area. If excessive switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the

hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and

metal marks from saucepans with aluminium

bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off

providing they are not allowed to burn on.

• Fo llow any guidelines provided by the saucepan

manufacturer, particularly those relating to

recommended heat settings.

• Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted

saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not

be used.

• Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered

with a saucepan.

• Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean

and dry before the start of cooking.

• Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to

keep the hob looking like new.

• If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.

jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the

hob before it sets and becomes hard

otherwise damage to the hob will occur.

HOT HOB INDICATOR

The hob is fitted with a hot hob indicator light which illuminates when the hob is too hot to touch. The light will go OFF when the hob has cooled.

THE GRILL

CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away.

USING THE GRILL

• Turn the top oven/grill function selector to.

• Turn the temperature control knob to the right as

far as it will go. This is the hottest setting.

• To use the grill at lower settings, tun the

temperature control knob so that 110°C or 150°C

on the knob lines up with the off dot on the panel.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

• Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

• The Top oven cannot be operated when the grill

is in use.

• To ensure optimal cooking performance the

elements have been carefully designed, so that

only the inner element glows red. The outer

element is hot, but will remain dark in colour.

This gives you the best possible cooking results.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To attach the handle, press the button on the handle

with the thumb and insert the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Slide the handle towards the left and release the button.

Ensure the handle is correctly located.

To remove the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and slide the handle towards the right. Release the button.

Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill. Ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates between the bars of the shelf.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Most foods should be placed on the grid in the

grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift

the food out of the fats and juices.

• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to

allow for different thicknesses of food. Position

the food close to the element for faster cooking

and further away for more gentle cooking.

• Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to

minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish

lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep

them moist during cooking.

• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and

mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid

when grilling meats.

• When toasting bread, use the shelf in position 6

with the grid in the ‘high’ position.

• Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes

before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat

setting and the shelf as necessary during

cooking.

• The food should be turned over during cooking

as required.

THE TOP OVEN

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweets and savoury flans or quiche.

The top oven is also ideal for use as warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control.

USING THE TOP OVEN

• Turn the top oven/grill selector to top oven.

• Turn the top oven temperature control to the

required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and

OFF during use to show that the setting is being

maintained.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

• The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is

in use.

Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on

the oven base as it becomes very hot and

damage will occur.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so that the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between these two support wires.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Arrange the shelves in the required positions

before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions

are counted from the bottom upwards.

• There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)

between the top of the food and the element.

This gives best cooking results and allows room

for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc.

When cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread etc.,

place the tins or baking trays centrally on the

shelf.

• Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf

and there is sufficient room around the baking

tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.

• Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on

the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base

and to help reduce cleaning.

• The material and finish of the baking tray and

dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware,

dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base

browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel

trays reflect the heat away and give less base

browning.

• Because of the smaller cooking space and lower

temperatures, shorter cooking times are

sometimes required. Be guided by the

recommendations given in the cooking chart.

• Do not place baking trays directly on the oven

base as it interferes with the oven air circulation

and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf

position.

• For economy leave the door open for the shortest

possible time, particularly when placing food into

a pre-heated oven.

Do not place cookware and cooking pots with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as damage to the glass may occur.

THE MAIN OVEN

The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are:

PREHEATING

The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the cooking chart. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C – 25°C for your own recipes, using a conventional oven.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

USING THE MAIN OVEN

• Turn the main oven temperature control to the

required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven light will illuminate.

• The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and

OFF during use to show that the setting is being

maintained.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

• The oven fan will operate.

• If an automatic programme has been set, the

oven light will not come on until cooking begins.

TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

HINTS AND TIPS

• Arrange the shelves in the required positions

before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions

are counted from the bottom upwards.

• When cooking more than one dish in the fan

oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves

rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf,

this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the

best cooking results.

• When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria

sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be

cooked in the same time.

• It is recommended that when baking larger

quantities the shelf positions should be evenly

spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight

increase in cooking time may be necessary.

• Do not place baking trays directly on the oven

base as it interferes with the oven air circulation

and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf

position.

Do not place cookware and cooking pots with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven door as damage to the glass may occur.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat. However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints.

Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking time.

DEFROST FEATURE

This main oven function defrosts most foods faster than more conventional methods. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc.

USING DEFROST FEATURE

• Turn the main oven temperature control to the

defrost setting.

• When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon

may come ON. It will stay ON until the oven reaches room temperature and then go OFF.

• It may turn ON and OFF periodically during

defrosting to maintain a steady room temperature, inside the oven.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The oven fan and interior light will come on.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Place the frozen food in a single layer where

possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process.

• The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by

room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.

• It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry

slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2 hours.

• A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in

approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process.

• Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be

thawed using the defrost function.

• All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed

thoroughly before cooking.

• Always cook thoroughly immediately after

thawing.

• Do not leave food at room temperature once it is

defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled.

• Care must always be taken when handling foods

in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and cross contamination when defrosting, preparing, cooking, cooling and freezing foods.

CARE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down before switching off at the electricity supply.

CLEANING MATERIALS

Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives and scourers should also be avoided. Multi-surface anti-bacterial cleaning products should not be used on the ceramic hob or on the surrounding trims.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob

Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, doors and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking finish with a soft cloth. Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish

must be wiped off immediately.

Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs from the appliance as this may cause damage and is a safety hazard.

CLEANING THE CONTROL KNOBS AND HANDLES

It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the control knobs and handles. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL THE SURFACE FINISH.

REMOVING AND REPLACING THE WIREWORK RUNNERS

1. Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven.

2. Hold the wirework at the bottom, unclip from the

cavity side and gently pull towards the centre of the oven.

3. Unhook the runner at the top and remove from

the cavity.

4. To replace the runners, hook the wirework side

runner into the cavity, slide back and press into place.

Ensure the wirework runners are firmly in

position before replacing the oven

shelves.

CAVITY CENTRE

SIDE PANEL

CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB

Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to prevent soilage being burnt on. Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the cleaning agents recommended.

DAILY CLEANING

Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off.

1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre

of each area to be cleaned.

2. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad

made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub vigorously until all marks are removed. This may take a few minutes.

3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp

paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.

If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:

a) Cif Cream Cleaner b) Baking Soda

TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS

1. Bar Keepers Friend may be used to clean off

more stubborn stains or to remove discolourations. It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for several minutes.

2. Use a plastic pad specially for non-stick

saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal of more stubborn soilage.

TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE

We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent damage.

1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.

2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle

of 30° to remove as much soilage as possible.

3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off

as directed above.

TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR WHITE AND SILVER MARKS

These marks sometimes give the impression of being in or underneath the hob glass. They can almost always be removed provided they have not become excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions above under ‘To Remove more Stubborn Marks’. If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part water to three parts Cream of Tarter and leave on the discoloured areas overnight. The marks should be easily removable the next day provided they have not been excessively burnt on. The paste should be thoroughly washed off afterwards.

HINTS AND TIPS

TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:

• Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the

cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins.

• Ensure saucepans are large enough to

accommodate food to avoid boil overs.

• If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they

occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.

• Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the

hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent on the hob surface which will burn and discolour the next time the hob is used.

• Avoid the use of:

• Household detergents and bleaches.

• Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not

described as suitable for non-stick saucepan s.

• Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.

• Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and

oven pads.

• Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.

• Any of the above products may cause

damage to the hob.

• It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.

The chemicals in them may react with each other with hazardous results.

• Soilage from sugar solutions must be

removed from the hob before the syrup has set otherwise damage to the hob surface will occur.

• Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the

hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.

CLEANING THE SHELVES, WIRE- WORK RUNNERS AND GRILL/OVEN FURNITURE

All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.

The grill pan, grill pan grid, oven shelves and wirework runners may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning easier.

CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND OVEN COMPARTMENTS

The sides and back of the grill/second oven and main oven compartments are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned manually. The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill compartment base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.

Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with elements, the door seal, or any painted finishes as this may cause damage.

HINTS AND TIPS

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces.

Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.

It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish.

Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.

Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase splashing and soilage.

It is NOT necessary to add water to a meat tin when roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint create excessive splattering during cooking – even at normal temperatures, as well as causing condensation.

Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before the outside is overbrowned.

CLEANING THE DOOR(S)

To prevent damaging or weakening the

door glass panels avoid the use of the

following:

• Household detergents and bleaches

• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-

stick saucepans

• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

• Chemical oven pads or aerosols

• Rust removers

• Bath/Sink stain removers

CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS

The inner door glass is removable for cleaning.

TO REMOVE THE INNER GLASS

1. Open the oven door to gain access to the top of

the oven door.

2. To remove the top trim carefully push the trim

towards the oven and lift off.

3. Hold the door securely in place with one hand

before sliding the glass out with the other hand.

4. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy

water or Hob Brite cleaner may be used. Do not use Hob Brite on the Stainless Steel or painted finishes. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the outer door.

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Please contact your local Service Force Centre who will be pleased to advise further.

TO REPLACE THE INNER GLASS

To ensure the glass is properly located the text 'This side up' should be facing towards you at the top edge of the door and facing into the cavity.

1. Holding the glass with both hands, gently slide

the glass into the side trims of the oven door.

2. To replace the trim, line up the clips on the

underside of the trim with the connectors at the top of the door.

3. Carefully slide the trim towards the door.

4. Ensure the trim is securely in place before

closing the oven door.

Do not attempt to use the oven without the glass being in place.

Please note that the doo

glass on your product may differ in type and shape from that shown in the diagram.

REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB

The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw.

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb.

1. Make sure the appliance is cool before replacing

the bulb.

2. Open the door and remove the shelves and

wirework runners.

3. Remove the glass cover by turning it to the left.

4. Unscrew the bulb by turning it to the left.

5. Fit a new bulb and then replace the glass bulb
