Before using the appliance

Rating plate

•

This is usually situated on the front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening
either the main or top oven 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 using hot soapy water. 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 is switched on and after a short time
when the oven is in use. It runs 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.

WARNING!

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 foodstuff 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.

of good quality.

Turn off the oven
controls.

Your timer has an energy save mode which allows
you to switch the display off. For setting details
please refer to the environmental chapter of this
manual.

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.

13

The dual grill

CAUTION!

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

Using the dual grill

IMPORTANT!

The grill is a dual circuit grill, which means that
the full area of the grill can be used, or for
economy purposes, the centre section only can
be used when cooking smaller quantities of
food.

To set the full grill
area, turn the top
oven/grill selector to
full grill.

WARNING!

The grill door must be left open when
grilling.

To set the center grill
area, turn the top
oven/grill selector to
center grill.

Things to note

•

The oven light will illuminate.

To turn off the grill

Turn the top oven/grill
temperature control
knob to the off

•

The dual grill operates independently of the
oven.

•

For optimal grilling results place the grill pan
on the shelf so that the pan is positioned
centrally beneath the grill.

Turn the top oven/grill
selector control knob
to the off position.

To use the grill at
lower settings, turn
the temperature
control knob to a
lower setting.

14

The grill pan and handle

The grill pan has a removable handle. Attach and remove as described below

To attach. Place the
wirework under the
cut out in the pan so
that the metal plate
hooks over the top of
the grill pan.

WARNING!

Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is
not necessary to remove the grill pan handle
during grilling.

Slide the handle to the
left and over the
central bump on the
grill pan.

IMPORTANT!

To remove the handle simply reverse the
process.

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.

•

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 cranked shelf
in position 2 with the grid in the high position.

•

When using the centre section grill, ensure
food is placed centrally on the grilling grid
directly beneath the grill element.

•

Preheat the grill on full setting for a few
minutes to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust
the heat setting and the shelf position as
necessary during cooking.

•

The food should be turned over during
cooking as required

16

The top oven

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It
is designed for cooking smaller quantities of
food. Place single dishes on the centre of the
shelf.
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 second
oven temperature control.

Using the top oven

Preheating

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.

Turn the top oven/grill
selector to top oven.

Turn the top oven/grill
temperature control
knob to the required
temperature.

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.
Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly

•

on the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage will occur.

17

To turn off the top oven

Turn the top oven/grill
temperature control
knob to the off
position.

Turn the top oven/grill
selector control knob
to the off position.

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 shelf in the required position
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.

•

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.

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 will affect the degree of
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.
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.
Because of the smaller cooking space and
lower temperatures, shorter cooking times
are sometimes required.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when
placing food into a pre-heated oven.

WARNING!

18

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
find you 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 20C° - 25°C for your own recipes,
using a conventional oven.

Using the main oven

Turn the main oven
temperature control
knob to the required
temperature.

Batch baking

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

To fit the main oven shelves

The shelves 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.

19

To turn the main oven off

Turn the main oven
temperature control
knob to the off
position.

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 fan and light do not come on until
cooking begins.

Hints and tips

•

Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf
positions are counted from the bottom
upwards.

20

•

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.

WARNING!

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

This main oven function defrosts most foods
faster than some 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 To turn defrost off

Turn the main oven
temperature control
knob to the defrost
setting.

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.

Things to note

•

The oven fan and internal oven light will
come on.

Turn the main oven
temperature control
knob to the off
position.

•

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.
