of the appliance.

This product is designed as a domestic
cooking appliance for the preparation
and cooking of domestic food
products, and should not be used for
any other purpose.

• Make sure you read and
understand the instructions before
using the appliance.

• Remove all packaging, protective
films and oils from the appliance
before using for the first time.

• Keep electrical leads short so they
do not drape over the appliance
or the edge of the worktop.

• Keep all flammable materials (such
as curtains, furnishings & clothing)
away from the appliance.

• Never use the appliance for
heating a room.

• Parts of the appliance may be hot

a fire hazard.

• Switch off the electricity supply before
replacing the oven light bulb, to
avoid the risk of electric shock.

• Do not use aluminium foil to
cover the grill pan, or put items
wrapped in foil under the grill, as
this creates a fire hazard. The
high reflectivity can also damage
the element.

• Do not use foil on oven shelves, or
allow it to block the oven flue, as
this creates a fire hazard, and
prevents heat circulation.

• When cooking heavy items - eg;
turkeys - do not pull the oven shelf
out with the item still on the shelf.

• When opening the appliance
door, take care to avoid skin
contact with any steam which may
escape from the cooking.

• Use oven gloves when removing
hot food / dishes from the oven or
grill. The oven / grill and utensils

USING THE HOB

W a r n i n g : Do not use the ceramic hob
if the glass surface is cracked, as elec­t r i c a l parts are immediately beneath.
Switch off the appliance at the supply
to prevent electric shock and contact
your supplier.

Before using the hob for the
first time

Before using the hob for the first time,
apply a thin coating of cleaner
conditioner and polish the surface with
a clean dry cloth.

The conditioner gives a protective
covering to the ceramic glass which
not only makes the hob easier to
clean, but also ensures you will gain
maximum life out of this product.

Using the hotplate elements

To switch on, turn the control knob for
the selected hob element to the desired
setting.

Note: The marked settings on the hob
controls do not indicate any set
temperature and cannot be used to
compare the performance of one ring
with another.

The hob rings will cycle on and off
automatically during use as a means
of regulating heat output.

To switch off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.

The hot hob light

The hob light comes on when one of
the rings is switched on, and will stay
on for a while after the last ring is
switched off, to indicate that the hob
glass may still be warm.

Care and cleaning

See ‘Cleaning the Hob’ section.

USING THE HOB

Using the hotplate

• Commercial simmering aids
should not be used as they create
excessive temperatures that can
damage the surface and may
cause a hazard.

• Do not place aluminium foil or
plastic utensils on the ceramic
glass, as they may melt and
damage the surface.

• Do not use the ceramic glass
hotplate surface for storage.

• When cooking with fat or oil,
never leave unattended.

• Turn pan handles to a safe position,
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance, and
cannot be caught accidentally.

• Position pans over the centre of the
hotplate elements.

• Do not use the hob as a chopping
board or a storage area, as this
increases the likelihood of it being
damaged - eg; plastic utensils
placed on a warm hob may melt
onto it, and damage the ceramic
glass surface.

• Aluminium foil must not be placed
on the hob as it will reflect any
heat back into the element, which
can damage it.

• Leaving a hotplate on for a length
of time, without it being covered
by a pan, causes overheating of
surrounding areas which could
damage the glass.

• Be careful when cooking foods in
salted water, or foods containing
large amounts of sugar, syrup or
j a m - if they are spilt onto hot areas
of the hob they may damage it.

• Lift pans onto and off the surface,
rather than sliding them across the
surface, to avoid marks and
scratches.

• If you use a wet paper towel to
remove spills from a warm heating
area of the hob, be careful to
avoid steam burns.

• Do not use abrasive powder
cleaners, metal wire wool pads,
impregnated plastic pads, detergents,
bleaches, bath stain removers, or
chemical oven cleaners; all these
types of products will damage the
ceramic glass.

6

USING THE HOB

To save energy

• Always position pans centrally
over the heating area.

• Put lids on saucepans and only heat
the amount of liquid you need.

• When liquids boil, reduce the
control setting to maintain a simmer.

• Consider the use of a pressure
cooker for the cooking of a
complete meal.

• Vegetables will cook quicker if
chopped in smaller pieces.

• Larger heating elements are ideal
for faster cooking methods, such as
boiling or frying, and for larger pans.

Smaller heating elements are ideal
for simmering and stewing, and
for smaller pans.

• Do not use a pan which is too
small or too large for the heating
area - refer to notes on next page.

Choice of pans

The choice of cookware is important
if you are to achieve maximum
benefit from cooking with a ceramic
hob.

Ceramic hobs are not only easy to
clean, they are also energy efficient if
you use the right pans to suit the surface.

When buying new pans, always refer
to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

For best results and energy efficiency,
it is important to use flat bottomed
pans of the correct type, especially on
ceramic glass hobs.

Always use pans which are large
enough to prevent spillage, especially
for deep frying, or when cooking with
a sugar based substance.

Trivets, round based woks, heat
diffuser pads and over-sized pans are
not recommended.

Do not use double pans, rim based
pans, old misshapen pans or any pan
which is unstable when placed on a
flat surface.

7

USING THE HOB

Type and size of pan

• Cast iron, stainless steel, or
enamelled steel pans are all suitable
for use on ceramic glass hobs.

• Aluminium pans will give good
cooking results but care must be
taken in their use. If they are slid
across the surface of the hob they
tend to leave visible marks which
can be difficult to remove.

• Certain makes / brands of pressure
cookers may not be suitable for use
on ceramic hobs - they do not come
to pressure. Stainless steel pressure
cookers will give optimum results.

• Glass pans can be used but the glow
from the heating areas transmitted
through transparent glass may
cause some visual discomfort.

• Avoid using double pans or old
misshapen pans which are
unstable and dangerous.

• Certain types of copper based
pans may become slightly
concave when heated, which can
result in slower cooking times.

• Always use pans which are large
enough to avoid overflows onto the
ceramic hob, especially if a pan
contains any sugar / sugar based
substance, as this is corrosive and can
damage the ceramic glass surface.

• Pan bases should be thick, flat, and
smooth, to ensure maximum contact
with the hob, maximum heat
conduction and rapid cooking times.

• Pans with dull or dark coloured
bases will give the quickest
cooking results.

• Pans with highly polished bases
can reflect heat back into the hob
causing the hotplate to cycle on
and off more rapidly than normal,
which can slow down cooking.

• Pans with thin, dented or ridged
bases should not be used. They
will not make maximum contact
with the hob, which can result in
very slow cooking times.

• The right size of pan base will
ensure maximum contact with the
hob and rapid cooking times.

• Use pans with a flat base of
minimum 100mm / 4” diameter
and maximum 280mm / 11”
diameter which are stable in use.

• Pan bases that are much smaller or
much larger than the hotplate - eg;
by 50mm / 2” - will result in
slower cooking times.

Food for grilling should be positioned
centrally on the trivet.

Aluminium foil

Using aluminium foil to cover the grill
pan, or putting items wrapped in foil
under the grill can create a fire hazard,
and the high reflectivity can damage
the grill element.

The cooling fan

When the grill is switched on, you will
hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of
the appliance cool during grilling. The
fan will continue to operate for a peri­od after the grill control has been
switched off.

The handle should be removed from
the pan during grilling, to prevent
overheating.

The handle is designed for removing /
inserting the grill pan under the grill
when grilling.

If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot,
use oven gloves to move it. Do not use

USING THE GRILL

Using the grill
Caution: Accessible parts may

be hot when the grill is used,
young children should be kept
away.

The top oven grill is a fully variable
dual element grill.

Preheating

For best results, preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes.

To switch on the grill

Open the top oven / grill door.
Turn the top oven control knob past the

oven temperature markings to either
the single economy grill symbol, or the
dual grill symbol.

The dual grill uses all of the top
element, and the single economy grill
setting uses the inner part of the
element only.

Important: The door must be kept
open when the grill is used.

To switch off, return the control knobs
to the “off” position.

Please note that the grill will not oper­ate if the top oven is switched on.

For grilling smaller quantities of food
the (single element) economy grill can
be utilised. This grill function can be
controlled between settings 1 and 8.

For grilling larger quantities of food,
the (dual element) full grill can be
utilised. The full grill can also be
controlled between settings 1 and 8.

When using the grill in the top oven,
the speed of grilling can be controlled
by use of either the variable control
or by selecting higher or lower shelf
position.

For toasting, and for grilling foods
such as bacon, sausages or steaks,
use a higher shelf position.

For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces, use a middle to
low shelf position.

10

USING THE TOP OVEN

When you are cooking keep
children away from the vicinity
of the oven.

C a u t i o n : The top element gets
extremely hot when in use, so take
extra care to avoid touching it.

The top oven is a conventional oven

To turn on the top oven

Turn the temperature control knob
clockwise until the required temperature
is selected.

The red thermostat indicator will come
on until the selected temperature is
reached, and then go off; it will turn
on and off periodically as the
thermostat operates to maintain the
selected temperature.

To switch off, return the top oven
control knob to the off position.

Important: Never put items directly
on the base of the oven, or cover the
oven base with foil, as this may cause
the element to overheat. Always
position items on the shelf.

The cooling fan

When the top oven is switched on, you
will hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of
the appliance cool during cooking.
The fan will continue to operate for a
period after the oven control has been
switched off.

Preheating

The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled foods, and

we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés, and
whisked sponges.

Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time, this
will take up to 20 minutes depending
on the temperature selected.

If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the following guide
may need to be extended, as they are
based on a preheated oven.

Shelf positions

There are 5 shelf positions which are
counted from the bottom of the oven
upwards, so shelf position 1 is the lowest.

When cooking frozen or chilled food,
use the highest possible shelf position,
while allowing some clearance
between the food and the top element.

The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing up. Position baking trays and
roasting tins on the middle of the
shelves, and leave one clear shelf posi­tion between shelves, to allow for cir­culation of heat.

When using the top oven

As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven(s). When opening the oven
door, care should be taken to avoid
any possible contact with potentially hot
air, since this may cause discomfort to
people with sensitive skin. We recommend
that you hold the underneath of the
oven door handle.

given in the Baking Guides are based
on dishes made with block margarine.
If soft tub margarine is used, it may be
necessary to reduce the temperature

temperature setting to that shown in
the guide, the recipe instruction should
be followed.

Shelf positions

As a general guide, when cooking
frozen or chilled food, use the highest
possible shelf position, while allowing
some clearance between the food and
the top element. Follow the instructions
given on packaging.

Because the top oven is more
compact, it may be necessary to
reduce cooking temperatures specified
in recipes by up to 20˚C.

Use the baking guide as a reference
for determining which temperatures
to use.

Using the Main Oven

Accessible parts may be hot
when the oven is used. Young
children should be kept away.

To switch on the oven

Turn the oven control knob clockwise
to the required setting.

The red thermostat indicator will come
on until the selected temperature is
reached and then go off; it will turn on
and off periodically as the thermostat
operates to maintain the selected

As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the rear
of the oven. When opening the oven
door, care should be taken to avoid
any possible contact with potentially hot
air, since this may cause discomfort to
people with sensitive skin. We recommend
that you hold the underneath of the
oven door handle.

Preheating

When cooking sensitive items such as
souffle and Yorkshire puddings or,
when cooking bread, we recommend
that the oven is pre-heated until the
neon switches off for the first time. For
any other types of cooking, a pre-heat
is not required.

13

Using the Main Oven

Oven furniture

Oven shelves

The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.

Position baking trays and roasting tins
on the middle of the shelves, and leave
one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.

Baking tray and roasting tins

For best cooked results and even
browning, the maximum size baking
trays and roasting tins that should be
used are as follows;

Baking tray 350mm x 280mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to

16 small cakes.
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
We recommend that you use good

quality cookware. Poor quality trays
and tins may warp when heated,
leading to uneven baking results.

Using the Main Oven

Cooking with a fanned oven
As this is a high efficiency oven,

you may notice the emission of
steam from the oven when the
door is opened. Please take
care when opening the door.

If you are used to cooking with a con­ventional oven you will find a number
of differences to cooking with a fan
oven which will require a different
approach:

There are no zones of heat in a fan oven
as the convection fan at the back of the
oven ensures an even temperature
throughout the oven. This makes it
ideal for batch baking - eg; when
planning a party or stocking the freez­er - as all the items will be cooked with­in the same length of time.

Foods are cooked at a lower temperature
than a conventional oven, so convention­al recipe temperature may have to be
reduced. Please refer to the conversion
chart.

Preheating is generally not necessary
as a fan oven warms up quickly.

There is no flavour transference in a
fan oven, which means you can cook
strong smelling foods such as fish at
the same time as mild foods - eg; milk
puddings.

When batch baking foods that will rise
during cooking - eg; bread - always
ensure that enough space has been left
between the shelves to allow for the
rise

Notes:

When 2 or more shelves are being
used, it may be necessary to increase
the cooking time slightly.

Because the 2 oven shelves are wider
than in many ovens, it is possible to
cook 2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria
sandwiches or 2 casseroles.

Although you need to keep in mind the
points ‘To help the air circulate freely’
with careful choice of dishes and tins,
it is possible to cook a complete meal,
and perhaps something else for the
freezer, in the oven at the same time.

When roasting meats, you will notice that
fat splashing is reduced, which is due
in part to the lower oven temperatures,
and will help keep cleaning of the
oven to a minimum.

Because a fan oven has an even
temperature throughout the oven, there
is no need to follow the shelf positions
given in the baking guide. There is no
need to interchange dishes onto
different shelves part way through
cooking, as with a conventional oven.

15

Using the Main Oven

Defrosting and cooling in the
main oven

To defrost frozen foods, turn the
main oven control to the defrost
position, place the food in the centre
of the oven and close the door.

To cool foods after cooking prior to
refrigerating or freezing, turn the
main oven control to the defrost
position and open the door.

Defrosting times

Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or
meat - eg; fish filets, prawns & mince
will take approximately 1 - 2 hours.

Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.

A medium sized casserole or stew will
take approximately 3 - 4 hours.

A 1

kg / 3lb oven ready chicken will

⁄

take approximately 5 hours, remove
the giblets as soon as possible.

Be safe

Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this
method.

Do not defrost larger joints of meat
and poultry over 2kg / 4lb using this
method.

N e v e r place uncooked food for
defrosting next to cooked food which
is to be cooled, as this can lead to
cross contamination.

Defrosting meat, poultry, and fish can
be accelerated using this method
but make sure they are completely
thawed before cooking thoroughly.
Place meat and poultry on a trivet in a
meat tin.

To help the air circulate freely

Position the shelves evenly within the
oven and maintain a clearance from
the oven roof and base.

If more than one cooking dish or
baking tray is to be used on a shelf,
leave a gap of at least 25mm
between the items themselves and the
oven interior. Allow enough space
between shelves for food that will rise
during cooking.

Do not place items on the oven base as
this will prevent air circulating freely.

Cooking times & temperatures

The temperature settings and times given
in the baking guide are based on dishes
made with block margarine. If soft tub
margarine is used it may be necessary
to reduce the temperature setting.

MAIN OVEN CONVERSION GUIDE

Note: this is a high efficiency oven, therefore some adjustment will have to be
made to conventional cooking temperatures. The table below shows convention­al cooking temperatures, ‘A’ efficiency temperatures and gas marks. For optimum
results, conventional temperatures need to be converted to ‘A’ efficiency tempera­tures.

For example, an item which would normally cook at a conventional temperature
of 180 ˚C, will now cook at the ‘A’ efficiency temperature of 160˚C.

Using the Ovens

Traditional fruit cakes

It should be remembered that ovens
can vary over time, therefore cooking
times can vary, making it difficult to be
precise when baking fruit cakes.

It is necessary therefore, to test the
cake before removal from the oven.
Use a fine warmed skewer inserted
into the centre of the cake. If the
skewer comes out clean, then the cake
is cooked.

Follow the temperatures suggested

n

in the recipe and then a d j u s t
accordingly tothe conversion table
on page 1 2 .

n

Do not attempt to make Christmas
cakes larger than the oven can cope
with, you should allow at least
25mm (1 inch) space between the
oven walls and the tin.

n

Always follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.

To protect a very rich fruit cake

n

during cooking, tie 2 layers of
brown paper around the tin.

n

We recommend that the cake tin is
not stood on layers of brown
paper, as this can hinder effective
circulation of air.

Do not use soft tub margarine for

n

rich fruit cakes, unless specified in
the recipe.

Always use the correct size and

n

shape of tin for the recipe quantities.

Roast turkey

Roasting turkey involves cooking two
different types of meat - the delicate
light breast meat, which must not be
allowed to dry out, and the darker leg
meat, which takes longer to cook.

The turkey must be roasted long
enough for the legs to cook, so
frequent basting is necessary. The
breast meat can be covered once
browned.

Always make sure that the turkey

n

is completely thawed and that the
giblets are removed before cooking.

Turkey should be roasted at

n

150˚C - 160˚C for 20 minutes
per lb, plus 20 minutes, unless
packaging advises otherwise.

The turkey can be open roasted,

n

breast side down, for half of the
cook time, and then turned over for
the remainder of the cooking time.

If the turkey is stuffed, add 5

n

minutes per 1lb to the cooking time.
If roasting turkey covered with

n

foil, add 5 minutes per 1lb to the
cooking time.

To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
fine skewer into the thickest part of the
thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey
is cooked. If the juices are still pink,
the turkey will need longer cooking.

19

Using the Ovens

Roasting guide

The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the
size and age of the bird will influence
cooking times as will the shape of a
joint and the proportion of the bone.

Frozen meat should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. For large
joints it is advisable to thaw overnight.

Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time
required depends on the size of the
bird - eg; a large turkey may take up
to 48 hours to thaw.

Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively,
to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes
or other vegetables can be roasted
around the meat / poultry.

Notes:

When cooking stuffed meat or

n

poultry calculate the cooking time
from the total weight of the meat
plus the stuffing.

For joints cooked in foil or covered

n

roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to
the calculated cooking time.

n

Smaller joints weighing less than

1.25kg (2

1

2

lb) may require 5

⁄

minutes per 450g (1lb) extra
cooking time.

Position the oven shelf so that the

n

meat or poultry will be in the
centre of the oven.

It is recommended that the appliance

n

is cleaned after open roasting.
Allow the appliance to cool before
attempting to clean it.

CARE & CLEANING

Cleaning the hob
Ceramic glass surface

Do not use abrasive powder cleaners,
“Brillo” pads, metal wire, detergents,
bleaches, bath stain removers, or chemical
oven cleaners; all these product types
will damage the ceramic glass.

The following recommendations will
help to keep the ceramic glass surface
bright and clean.

Allow the hob to cool.
Use a dampened paper towel or clean

damp cloth to apply a small dab of
cleaner conditioner to clean each
heating area.

Use another paper towel or a clean
dry soft cloth to wipe dry, and then
polish the whole glass surface.

To remove any stubborn marks or
heavy soiling, a non scratching, mild
cream cleaner may be used - eg; “Cif”.

Important: If you use a wet paper
towel or clean damp cloth to remove
spillage from a warm heating area of the
hob, be careful to avoid steam burns.

gain maximum life out of this product.
Occasional use will help prevent the
build up of mineral deposits which can
cause discolouration of the hob surface.

Discolouration of the hob

Do not use a dishcloth or dish sponge
to wipe the hob - this can leave a film
of detergent on the surface which will
discolour the hob next time a heating
area is used. Clean cloths kept for the
cleaning of the hob can be used.

Do not use too much cleaner
conditioner - only a thin coating is
required, any excess may burn on and
discolour the hob when it is next in use.

If persistent stains or marks remain on
the ceramic glass surface, it can be
cleaned using a mild cream cleaner - eg;
“Cif”, or a ceramic hob scraper. This will
also remove any accumulated salts or
minerals before they have an opportunity
to discolour the ceramic glass.

Wipe clean with a damp paper towel
or clean damp cloth and re-apply
cleaner conditioner.

Care and maintenance

Before using the hob for the first time,
apply a thin coating of cleaner conditioner
(eg; “Hob Brite”, by Homecare*) to
the ceramic glass only, and polish the
surface with a clean cloth.

The conditioner gives a protective
covering to the ceramic glass which
not only makes the hob easier to
clean, but also ensures that you will
