Canceling automatic settings
To cancel a program:

Press plus and minus button simultaneously for minimum 3 seconds.

NOTE:

On oven start up or possibly at other times, due to electricity supply dev i ations – the
programmer may freeze on a function – if this occurs we recommend that, after checking
other solutions without success, it is recommended that power supply be disconnected to
the appliance and allow it to be in this position for some minutes before reconnecting.
This may have a result of clearing the frozen position allowing you to reset the
programmer for normal operation.

Cooling Fan

The Single and Double Ovens are provided with a cooling fan motor to reduce the heat around
the oven. The fan motor is controlled by a sensor, which will start when the temperature achieves
the level pre-fixed and stop working when the temperature is reduced accordingly.

This safeguards both the oven and the adjoining cupboards from the possibility of temperature
damage.

Safety Thermostat

Your oven is fitted with an over temperature sensor that will automatically shut down your oven
for a period if it is deemed to be overheating- this sensor is fitted to the rear wall of the oven,
inside the outer case – it will only activate in extreme circumstances and is provided as protection
to the appliance and the adjoining furnishings. If activated it will shut down the appliance for a
short time and will automatically reset allowing normal operations – you should consult your
service technician if the problem re-occurs.

D- Cooking modes and Instructions

NOTE: cooking functions will vary from model to model – following is a

description of the functions that are available and some or all of these functions
will be included on the product you have purchased.

Double Oven

PREHEATING

Preheating the oven is not essential, but you will achieve better results if you do. Some foods,
particularly cakes and pastry, are better cooked in a preheated oven. Other foods, for example
casseroles, cook just as well when cooked in a non-preheated oven but may need longer cooking
times.

For faster preheating select pizza mode and the required temperature and once the oven has
reached the required level change to cooking mode/function for the task.

To preheat the oven:

1- Set the mode required for preheating.
2- Set the oven to the desired temperature.

WARNING

When using an alternative cooking mode for fast preheat, be sure to turn the cooking mode to
your required setting before placing food in the oven.

HINT:

To allow for heat loss while placing food into the oven, preheat the oven 10-20°C higher and then
reduce the temperature to your required cooking temperature.

Always preheat the oven when cooking multiple dishes at the same time.

PIZZA

This function is also excellent as the fastest oven pre heat, engaging maximum power to heat the
oven to a selected temperature before selecting an appropriate function and temperature for a
task.

In this position the fan and fan element together with the under oven element are engaged
simultaneously. This is used for food that requires a concentration of cooking to the base, and
allows the top to gently cook at the same time.

For best results for pizza and similar items we recommend this function and may be combined
with our optional pizza stone for perfect outcomes.

STEAM CLEAN

CLEAN

Traditionally, oven enamels have been porous. This creates a surface that, over time, collects
microscopic oil and grime deposits that build up within these pores and become nearly impossible
to remove.

Thanks to some of the latest technology, we have revolutionary new enamel which is much less
porous than predecessors and creates a surface that has glass-like characteristics.

Added to this breakthrough technology, we have incorporated a new component into the enamel
that is non-stick. The two together creates a surface that is brilliantly effective and easy to clean.

To assist with easy cleaning, Porter and Charles have developed a Steam Clean function. Not
only is this environmentally friendly, it is also less severe on the oven surfaces as no harsh
chemicals are used. In addition to this, the power consumption normally needed by a traditional
Pyrolytic Oven have been minimized to reduce unnecessary energy use. This new enamel is also
acid resistant which ensures that stains around the walls of the oven liner are minimized, and
particularly if the new Steam Clean function is used regularly.

If the following simple Steam Cleaning procedure is adopted regularly, your oven should remain
in original condition for many years.

To activate Steam Cleaning follow these simple steps:

1. Remove the oven shelves and fittings. You can wash these either in your dishwasher
or by hand.

2. Add approximately ½ a litre (1 Pint) of clean water to an oven safe dish and place
either on the bottom of the oven or on the lowest rack. Add it to the Porter and
Charles Pyrex Grill pan is best.

3. Close the oven door and select the Clean function on the Mode selector.

4. Select Clean on the Temperature Selector

5. Run the oven in this mode for approximately 30 minutes (set timer if preferred to
remind)

6. After 30 minutes of steaming, turn both the Clean Mode selection and Clean
Temperature selection off and wait for 5 to 10 minutes for oven to cool to a safe
temperature for you to access it.

7. With a warm damp cloth, simply wipe out grease from inside the oven. You should
apply a small amount of dish washing liquid to this cloth for further efficiency. It will
be noted that most grime has congregated on the base of the oven and is easily
wiped away.

8. Return all oven fittings.

NOTE: If stubborn stains remain after Steam Clean apply Ceramic Cooktop

Cleaner/Polish.

CONVENTIONAL OVEN

In this traditional mode, oven heat is provided from the top and under the oven compartment and
is most suitable when cooking on a single shelf. For best results, arrange the shelves so the top
of the food is near the centre of the oven.

If cooking on more than one shelf, always preheat the oven and position the pans to allow as
much free circulation of heat as possible.

Depending on the food, you may need to rearrange the tray position during cooking.

1- Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2- Select Conventional Oven mode.
3- Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4- When cooking is complete turn the oven off.

HINT:

If water is used in your cooking (such as water placed in a baking dish) the water will evaporate in
the oven in the form of steam. The level of condensation will be reduced when cooking in fan
oven mode where excess moisture is circulated and evaporates during the cooking cycle.

NOTE:

Stand clear of the oven when opening the oven door as steam may escape rapidly

FAN ASSIST (bottom of double oven)

This style of cooking provides traditional cooking heating from top and bottom elements with the
assistance of a circulation fan to ensure fast even results. This mode is most suitable for delicate
cooking such as cakes, pastries, gateaux, biscuits and yeast dough. Best results when
thermostat is set to 150-180 degrees – depending on recipe.

CLASSIC BAKE (bottom of double oven)

In this mode, oven heat is provided from under the oven compartment. This is most suitable for
cooking food which requires a well cooked base or where minimal browning is required.

1- Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2- Select CLASSIC BAKE.
3- Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4- When cooking is complete turn the oven off.

HIGH BAKE

The HIGH BAKE mode uses the oven fan to circulate air with heat from the under oven element.
Quick and consistent heat is evenly distributed throughout the oven.

The results are quick, not unlike a microwave oven. With the circulation of heat, foods cooked
with high bake mode retain a crisp, dry texture on the outside especially pizza, pastry and other
foods where you want the base to be well cooked. HIGH BAKE is also excellent for re-heating.

1- Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2- Select HIGH BAKE mode.
3- Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4- When cooking is complete turn the oven off.

FAN FORCED CONVECTION – most commonly used function

In this mode the oven fan circulates heat from behind the fan cover to give a more even
temperature throughout the oven. The even heat provides similar cooking results for each portion
of food. Although temperatures for cooking foods in this type of oven are generally the same as
required by a conventional oven, when cooking foods that require lengthy cooking cycles a fan
forced oven normally cooks more quickly, saving time and energy.

Always place the food as near to the centre of the oven as possible. If cooking on more than one
level, arrange the pan positions to allow for free circulation of heat.

1- Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2- Select FAN OVEN mode.
3- Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4- When the cooking is complete turn the oven off.

HINT:

Always preheat the oven when cooking on multiple shelves at the same time.
Depending on the food, you may need to rearrange the tray positions during cooking.

FAN GRILL

NOTE: Door must be closed in Fan Grill Mode

Fan grilling is a combination of direct heat and circulated hot air which gives the appearance and
flavor similar to rotisserie cooking which is ideal for single level roasts. Direct infrared heat from
the grill element is circulated by the fan to cook the food, which should be positioned as near to
the centre of the oven as possible.

For best cooking results, it is recommended that food be turned once only.

1- Oven

door must be closed in Fan grill mode.

2- Place food on grill rack and pan supplied (ensure grill rack is inverted to the high position

to allow best circulation of air) as close to the centre of the oven as possible.
3- Select FAN GRILL mode.
4- Set the oven to the desired temperature. (see note below and refer to FAN GRILL

temperature guide).
5- When cooking is complete turn the oven off.

NOTE:
Large grill pans or roasting dishes can restrict the circulation of air in the oven. To prevent
moisture condensing in the cooler lower sections of the oven, preheat the oven for approximately
10 minutes, using CONVENTIONAL OVEN or HIGH BAKE modes, prior to fan grilling.

NOTE: The temperature setting in FAN GRILL mode must not exceed 200°C. The grill
element has a safety shutdown at approximately 200°C.

FULL GRILL & HALF GRILL

This mode of cooking uses infrared heat from the top of the oven to cook foods to your
requirements. Half grill engages only the inner band of the top element and is suitable for smaller
volumes and has a consequently lower energy usage.

This method of grilling in the oven is recommended for short duration (5 minutes or less)
grilling only, which is ideal for toasting (see note below). Foods with higher fat content or
foods, which require more than 5 minutes grilling time, should be grilled using the FAN
GRILL mode.

When in GRILL mode the oven door should be closed. If the door is not closed, over time

discoloration to the control panel may occur.

1- Commence grilling from a cold oven whenever possible.
2- Place food on grill rack and pan supplied.
3- Position the shelf to your preference.
4- Select GRILL mode and, turn to your desired heat setting.
5- When cooking is complete turn the oven off.

NOTE:
The grill element is controlled by the oven thermostat. Once the temperature in the oven has
reached the selected temperature the element will switch off, and then on again, when more heat
is required.

DEFROST
All foods may be defrosted using the Fan Forced Convection mode. It is important to note

NO temperature (0 Degrees) is selected when using this function.

that
As a general guide, the defrosting time for meat is approximately 15-20 minutes per

kilogram.

E - Cleaning and Maintenance

NOTE: Your P&C oven comes with a Steam Clean function, please refer to page 12
for further instructions.

1. Cleaning and maintenance

Proper cleaning and care of your appliance is essential to maintain its appearance and durability.

NOTE:
People with sensitivity to cleaning chemicals must take the necessary precautions. It is
recommended that protective gloves be worn while cleaning the appliance. Routine cleaning of
the appliance should only be performed when the appliance is at room temperature.

Do not use any acid or caustic cleaners, abrasive powders or scourers on the interior or
exterior of the appliance. Substances or items with these properties may discolor or damage

the finishes of your appliance. If any abrasive, acidic or caustic substance or cleaning agent
should come into contact with the appliance, rinse off immediately with water, taking special care
to avoid injury if surfaces are hot.

When using the appliance, it may be soiled by food spills and spatters or foreign items such as
plastics accidentally coming into contact with warm or hot surfaces. Foods which contain acidic
substances or sugar can discolor or damage enamel finishes.

The enamel interior of the oven is a hard durable finish which is resistant to wear and
discoloration. However, to maintain the appearance and durability of the finish any spills must be
wiped off immediately. This should be done even if still hot and necessary precaution must be
taken to avoid injury. Once cool the affected area should be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed using
non-abrasive, mild cleaning detergents and water.

2. Care for stainless steel

No metal is indestructible and certain procedures should be followed to maintain the finish and
durability of stainless steel.

Never leave stainless steel items unwashed. The surface responds best to gentle cleaning
methods, scouring materials and harsh abrasives should not be used. Frequent washing with
water (preferably hot) is the recommended treatment, followed by rinsing with fresh clean water
and wiping dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
A little soap or detergent may be added to the washing water but too much can produce a cloudy
film over the appliance. Use of steel wool is not recommended but stainless steel wool (a fine
mesh pad) is an excellent cleaning aid. Oil or grease in the washing water can leave a rainbow
film when it dries. It can easily be removed by simply using polishing and cleaning methods
described previously. Thoroughly rinsing with clean water is the real secret and it a surprise how
easily stainless steel can be kept sparkling clean by using the above simple method.

Never leave stainless steel to dry by itself.

3. Only place cookware on oven shelves.
Other surfaces such as trims are not totally resistant to hard materials or direct heat and may be
permanently damaged by such use.

Recommended cleaners

Mild detergents and warm water together with a clean, soft, non-abrasive cloth achieve goods
results for normal cleaning. Diluted washes with ammonia and water should rinse away any
adhesive residue or gummy deposits on the appliance surfaces. Eucalyptus oil (small amounts) is
also good for removing adhesive residue. Alcohol based products (eg: methylated spirit, etc.) are
not recommended. Brand name cream cleansers and concentrates, without abrasive qualities,
can be used in small amounts to break down greasy deposits and dirt. After cleaning make sure
cleaned surfaces are thoroughly rinsed to prevent any risk of baked on cleaner residues and wipe
dry with a clean, soft cloth.

NOTE:
When cleaning stainless steel surfaces P&C recommend 3M brand or Advance stainless steel

cleaner. Other reputable brand cleaners specifically formulated for cleaning stainless steel may
also be acceptable. Do not use steel soap pads or abrasive scourers of any kind. The abrasive
qualities of these pads will ruin the even brushed finish of the stainless steel and any residual
metal fibers may corrode causing a rusty/dull appearance. Metal polishes with abrasive qualities
are also not recommended.

WARNING:
Do not use any acid or caustic cleansers or abrasive powders or scourers on the interior
or exterior of the appliance.

Routine cleaning

Ensure all controls are in the off position and the appliance is cool before cleaning. When wiping
stainless steel surfaces with a brushed finish, wipe in the same directions as the brushing.

To clean the oven interior, fully open (side opening door/s) or remove the door/s (top opening
type, see opposite page) for better access while cleaning. The shelves and shelf guides can be
lifted out for cleaning by removing the relevant thumb screws. The shelves and shelf guides can
be washed manually but are also dishwasher safe.

If using commercial oven cleaners, choose only non-caustic cleaners and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid contact with elements, rubber door seals and exterior surfaces.

After cleaning make sure all surfaces are thoroughly rinsed and wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Drop Down Grilling Element

The removal of a single screw at the front of the upper grill element allows the grill to drop down
to facilitate the cleaning of the oven ceiling. On completion of cleaning, simply replace the grill
element and secure with the screw.
To avoid smoking, use a clean, damp cloth to regularly clean oil and fat splatters from
the exposed drop down grilling element.
The fan cover can be lifted out for cleaning separately by removing the retaining screws. The fan
blade can also be removed for cleaning if necessary.

NOTE: that the fan blade nut has a left-handed thread.

Removing oven door (pull down door models only)

The oven door can be easily removed for better access while cleaning. To remove the oven door:

1. Open the door fully and fit the supplied pin in the hole.

2. Raise the door slightly, holding the sides of the door about half way up. Make sure
the pin stays in the hole the whole time. Lift the door gently. This should
disconnect the hinges from the oven frame.

3. Remove the door by continuing to raise it while pulling the door away from the oven.
When handling the door be careful not to dislodge the pin off the hole. If the pin does
dislodge, the hinge will have to be closed by hand and the pin re-fitted onto the hole
before re-fitting into the oven.

To re-fit the oven door:

i. Holding the door at an angle to the oven, slide the hinges into the oven frame,

making sure that on each side the top curved arm fits into the top slot and the lower
arm fits into the bottom slot.

ii. Make sure the hinges are pushed as far as they will go and the lower arm engages

into the plate mounted in the oven frame.

iii. Open the door fully and ensure the pin fully disengages from the hole. The door can

now be opened and as normal.

How to Rotate Doors in the Double and Single Oven

NOTE: Side Opening Only

This should only be done by a qualified person or installer. We recommend that it be a two
person task to ensure support of the heavy door apparatus during changeover. Damage done to
the appliance during a door rotation may effect the warranty provision for the appliance.

Stage1: REMOVE THE BOTTOM DOOR FOR DOUBLE OVEN OR THE MAIN DOOR FOR
SINGLE OVEN

a) Remove the screws fixing the hinge to the oven front frame, being careful to

support the door, then remove the door and place in a safe place

b) Remove the door catch by removing the two screws top and bottom of the door

latch on the opposite side of the oven front frame to the hinges

c) Remove the screws fitted in the thread holes in the oven front frame to allow the re-

positioning of the door hinge to the opposite side

Stage 2: (FOR DOUBLE OVENS ONLY) REMOVE THE TOP DOOR AS PER STAGE 1
ABOVE AND LEAVE IN POSITION THE FITTED MIDDLE SPACER

4. Remove the screws fixing the bracket of the middle spacer profile

5. Remove the screws fixing the hinge of the top door

6. Remove the door with the middle profile fixed to the hinge, rotate 180° place in a safe
place ready for re-affixing

Stage 3: FITTING THE DOORS – FOR DOUBLE OVENS AND SINGLE OVENS

7. For Double Oven re-fit the bottom door first by fixing the hinges with their screws; fix
also the bracket of the middle spacer profile at the same time

8. Re-fit the top door after having rotated it by 180°

9. Re-fit the two door catches in the appropriate oven front frame position – minor
adjustment available later to ensure accurate receipt of door striker pin

10. Re-fit the remaining screws in the thread holes in the oven front frame

The changeover is complete – please check that all screws are fully tightened and that the
striker pin is accurately received by the re-located door latch.

Changing the light globe

The light globe is located behind the glass cover and is a screw-in type.
To change a light globe:

1- Gently lever out the glass cover only.
2- Pull the light globe and push in a replacement globe.
3- Replace the glass cover making sure it fits correctly into place.

NOTE:

Recommended globe: Halogen 25W

G - Installation instructions.

INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLER

THE GRAB HANDLES MUST BE USED TO MOVE THE OVEN.
WHEN THE OVEN IS HALF FITTED IN THE CABINET, IT IS POSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE

TWO HANDLES BY UNSCREWING THE FOUR FIXING SCREWS.
DO NOT LIFT OVEN BY THE FRONT DOOR AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE OVEN

WARNING:

Installation must comply with Standards North America (within North America) wiring rules, as
well as your local electrical and building codes and regulations and any other applicable
requirements. Your appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified and
licensed technician.

Incorrect installation of the appliance, resulting from the kitchen maker not following the detailed
installation specifications, can affect the appliance performance. Ovens incorrectly installed may
invalidate the warranty and we strongly recommend that the oven cavity and venting be prepared,
as described, in the following specifications. This is critical to appearance, oven performance and
safety.

Measurements

Please note that all dimensions provided are in millimeters (mm.) The sizes allow for only a small
degree of error so all cut-outs must be precise and square. To ensure the cabinet is well finished,
the cut edges must also be square and care taken to ensure the cut edges are free of chips.

Preparing the oven cavity

We recommend mounting ovens on plinths (see previous page) and flush mounting installation
(refer securing the oven below).

WARNING:
It is important to the performance of the oven and the protection of adjoining cabinets that
the following installation preparation is observed.

11. The oven cavity floor should provide plinths to left and right side

approximately 4” wide with the maximum clear opening to base under oven.
Allowing a satisfactory free area through the middle to assist with air
circulation around the appliance.

12. The rear wall of the oven cavity should not have a back attached – it should be

clear to allow for improved air circulation around the appliance. A space of at
least 4” (but more if possible) to any rear wall is recommended.

The above steps will greatly reduce the outer oven surface temperatures making the
kitchen environment safer. It will also protect both the appliance and the adjoining
cabinets.

Securing the oven

Once correctly wired into (while electrically isolated from) the main power, locate the oven into the
recess and ensure the appliance is parallel to the front fascia of the enclosure, use packing under

the appliance if necessary. Four screws are supplied to secure the oven to the cupboard cavity.
The fixing holes are in the oven trim surrounds (visible when you open the oven door/s). Slide the
oven fully into the recess and insert the four screws through the mounting holes and into the
cupboard surround to secure the oven position. We recommend a flush to cupboard face
installation. The measurement of the front trim of the oven (20mm) is designed to equal normal
cupboard facing material after allowing for the body of the oven to be secured against the
cupboard carcass.

H - Electrical wiring diagrams and instructions

WARNING:
All aspects of the installation must conform with the requirements of the standard North

America (within North America) wiring rules, as well as your local electrical and building
codes and regulations, and any other applicable requirements and conditions of your local
power supply authority.
A licensed electrician must perform the electrical work when installing this appliance. The
supply cable and fuse rating must be suitable for the appliance.

240 Volt 60hZ 30AMP single/40AMP double service

WARNING:
A licenced electrician must connect the armour cable and 3 wires into the electrical

connection box. The white, or Neutral wire is not used, and must be capped using a
marette.

To avoid power borne interference, this appliance must be installed individually on a separate and
distinct final sub-circuit.

Note:
To the electrician – please ensure sufficient supply cable is provided to allow the appliance to be
removed from the cavity should any servicing be necessary. This will also allow easy connection
of the supply.

Voltage supply connection

To connect the electrical supply:

1- Ensure the supply cable and fuse rating are suitable for the appliance (see the electrical

loading).
2- Remove the cover plate by undoing the screw.
3- Fit a suitable entry bush to the conduit entry on the rear left of the appliance (with the rear

toward you) and feed the fixed wiring through.
4- Connect the wiring to the terminal block using the screw connections provided. Ensure

the wires are properly secured to prevent any high resistance electrical connection.
5- Replace the cover plate making certain that the supply wiring is clear of any metal work

and the screws.

When connected to a sub circuit, protected by a circuit breaker, it is recommended the circuit
breaker be the same as the total rating of the appliance.
