Page 7
Using the Grill
Conventional grill
The door must be open when the
conventional grill function is used either fully open or using the door stop
position - open the door about 30˚
and it will hold open.
When using the door stop position for
grilling, you can remove the grill pan
handle by sliding it to the recess.
Thicker foods such as sausages and
chicken portions are suited to conventional grilling.
Fanned grill
The door must be closed when the
fanned grill is used.
When opening the door, take care to
avoid skin contact with any steam
which may escape from the cooking.
Fanned grilling may be faster than
conventional grilling, because air is
being circulated around the food, and
thin portions of food such as bacon or
fish fillets may not need turning.
The fanned grill is particularly suited to
thinner foods such as bacon, gammon,
fish fillets etc.
Grilling
The temperature of the grill is variable,
and can be adjusted by turning the
temperature selector control knob to
the desired temperature setting.
The speed of grilling can also be
controlled by selecting a higher or
lower shelf position.
We recommend that the higher
temperature settings are used for
toasting and for cooking foods such as
bacon, sausages or steaks. Use a
higher shelf position.
For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces, the temperature
may be reduced to a lower setting.
Use a middle to low shelf position.
Position the grill pan under the centre
of the grill.
The grill pan trivet, inside the grill
pan, can be inverted to give a high or
low position, or it may be removed.

Oven Functions
Oven functions are detailed below
with suggested uses.
Note: Please be aware that not all
appliances have all functions.
Oven Function Recommended Uses
Base Heat Only
Top Heat Only
Conventional Oven
Fanned Grill
Fanned Oven
Defrost
Grill
Used to finish off the bases of food following cooking using the
conventional or fanned modes. The base heat can be used to provide additional browning for pizzas, pies and quiche. Use this
function towards the end of cooking.
The heat is ideal from browning off the tops of food as it is not as
fierce as the grill following conventional or fanned cooking.
Provides additional browning for dishes like Lasagna or
Cauliflower cheese. Use this function towards the end of
cooking.
This function works on the principle that heat rises. It is ideal for
traditional roasting. The meat is placed in the middle of the oven,
roast potatoes towards the top, and puddings towards the base
The fan allows the heat to circulate around the food. Ideal for thinner foods such as bacon, fish and gammon steaks. Foods do not
require turning. Use with the oven door closed.
The even temperature in the oven makes this function suitable for
batch baking, or batch cooking foods. In addition it can be used
as a quick preheat boost.
To defrost foods, such as cream cakes/gateaux, use with the oven
door closed. For cooling dishes prior to refrigeration, leave the
door open.
This function cooks food from the top and is ideal for a range of
food from toast to steaks.

Page 9
Using the Fanned Oven
When you are cooking, keep
children away from the vicinity
of the oven.
Your appliance may have a fanned
oven. When using the fanned oven,
please follow the instructions below:
To switch on the oven
Turn the function selector control knob
to the fan oven symbol.
Turn the temperature selector control
knob clockwise to the desired
temperature 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
temperature.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “l” off position.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled food, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges, otherwise preheating is not
necessary as a fan oven warms up
quickly.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time;
this will take between 5 - 15 minutes,
depending on the temperature selected.
Aluminium foil
Use aluminium foil only to cover food
or cooking dishes. Do not foil to cover
the shelves or oven base, as this
creates a fire hazard.
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.
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.

Using the Fanned Oven
Cooking with a fan oven
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, 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.
Cooking times will generally be shorter
by between 5 - 10 minutes per hour,
than those given in recipe books for
conventional cooking.
We recommend preheating the oven
for frozen or chilled food and also for
soufflés, batter mixtures & yeast mixtures.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time; this
will take between 5 - 15 minutes
depending on the temperature selected.
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.
The fan oven may cook foods at a
lower temperature (between 10˚C and
20˚C lower) than a conventional oven,
so conventional recipe temperature
may have to be reduced.
To help the air circulate freely;
l
Position the shelves evenly within
the oven and maintain a clearance
from the oven roof and base.
If more than one cooking dish or
l
baking tray is to be used on a shelf
leave a gap of at least 25mm / 1”
between the items themselves and
the oven interior.
Allow enough space between
l
shelves for food that will rise
during cooking.
l
Do not place items on the oven
base as this will prevent air from
circulating freely.

Page 11
Using the Conventional Oven
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the oven is used,
young children should be kept
away.
To switch on the oven
Turn the oven / grill knob clockwise to
select the desired temperature setting.
Caution: The oven element(s) gets
extremely hot when in use, so please
take extra care to avoid touching it.
Note that the ‘power on’ neon (next to
the control knob) will illuminate whenever a function is selected.
The orange thermostat indicator neon
will come on and off 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 turn off, turn the oven control knob
to the “off” position.
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.
Aluminium foil
Use foil only to cover food or
cooking dishes - do not use foil to
cover the shelf or oven base, as this
creates a fire hazard.
The oven can be used with top or base
heat only. This is a fixed heat setting.
Top heat only
Turn the oven control knob clockwise,
past the oven temperature settings
and the grill symbol, to the top heat
symbol .
This setting can be used to brown the
top of dishes such as cauliflower
cheese or baked alaska.
Base heat only
Turn the selector control knob clockwise past the oven temperature setting
and the grill symbol, to the base heat
symbol .
This setting can be used to finish
cooking pastry bases, pies or pizzas etc.

Page 12
Using the Conventional Oven
Using a conventional oven
The oven is heated by elements at the
top of the oven, and underneath the
floor of the oven.
Conventional oven cooking is ideal for
preparing various foods - meat, bread,
cakes, pies - or even for cooking a
whole meal.
With this heating system you can only
use one level at a time.
If you need to put food in a preheated
oven, please wait until the indicator
neon goes off before putting food in
the oven.
Feel free to use your own cake tins and
smaller tins that the ones included.
When roasting meat, please remember that larger and thicker pieces of
meat should be roasted on the lower
shelf position at a lower temperatures,
and smaller thinner pieces can be
cooked on the middle shelf position at
a higher temperature setting.
Some 5 - 10 minutes before the cooker
has completed cooking, switch the
oven off. This will save on energy.
After roasting is finished and before
cutting the meat, wait 5-10 minutes;
this allows the meat juices to settle
inside the meat.
You can cook frozen meat without
thawing it first, just bear in mind that
the roasting time will be longer,
depending on the size of the meat joint.
Zones of heat
The temperature at the centre of the
oven corresponds with the selected
temperature - it is slightly higher
towards the top of the oven and
slightly lower towards the oven base.
These zones of heat can be useful as
different dishes requiring different
temperatures can be cooked at the
same time, when more than one shelf
is used.
If you prefer darker cooked results,
cook on a higher shelf, for paler results
use a lower shelf.
Oven shelves & shelf positions
Shelf positions in an electric oven are
counted from the base upwards.
There are 2 shelves supplied.
Position baking trays and roasting tins
on the middle of the shelves.
Never put items directly on the base of
the oven or cover the oven base with
foil as this can cause the base element
to overheat.
During cooking, do not place the grill
pan on the floor of the oven, as damage
to the appliance or adjacent cabinet
may occur, due to overheating.

Defrosting and cooling (if fitted)
To defrost frozen foods, turn the
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 oven
control to the defrost position, and
open the door about 30˚ to the stop
position.
Be Safe
Do not defrost stuffed poultry using
l
this method.
Do not defrost larger joints of meat
l
and poultry over 2kg/4lb using
this method.
Never place uncooked food for
l
defrosting next to cooked food

lead to cross contamination.
l
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.
Defrosting times
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or
meat eg; fish fillets, prawns and mince
will take approximately 1 - 2 hours.

Using the Oven
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.
Do not attempt to make Christmas
l
cakes larger than the oven can
cope with; you should allow at
least 25mm (1 inch) space
between the oven walls and the tin.
l
Always follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.
l
To protect a very rich fruit cake
during cooking, tie 2 layers of
brown paper around the tin.
l
We recommend that the cake tin is
not stood on layers of brown
paper, as this can hinder effective
circulation of air.
l
Do not use soft tub margarine for
rich fruit cakes unless specified in
the recipe.
Always use the correct size and
l
shape of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey perfectly 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.
Turkey should be roasted at 170 -
l
190˚C for 20 minutes per 1lb,
plus 20 minutes unless packaging
advises otherwise.

The turkey can be open roasted,
breast side down, for half of the
cook time, and then turned over for
the remainder of the cooking time.
l
If the turkey is stuffed, add 5
minutes per 1lb to the cooking time.
If roasting turkey covered with
l
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.

Using the Oven
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 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;
l
When cooking stuffed meat or
poultry, calculate the cooking time
from the total weight of the meat
plus the stuffing.
For joints cooked in foil or covered
l
roasters, and for lidded c a s s e r o l e s ,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to
the calculated cooking time.
Smaller joints weighing less than
l
1.25kg (2
1
⁄
lb) may require 5
2
minutes per 450g (1lb) extra
cooking time.
l
Position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry will be in the
centre of the oven.
It is recommended that the appliance
l
is cleaned after open roasting.
Cook in oven at 180˚C (fanned) Approximate cooking time

Automatic cooking
The automatic cooking facility is
controlled by the programmer (see
‘Programmer/ Clock’ section) and
allows complete meals, or individual
dishes to be cooked while you are out
of the house, to be ready for when you
return. The ‘Ready Time’ should be set
as close as possible to, or just after
your anticipated return so food is not
left standing in a warm oven.
Please note: Not all appliances
have this feature.
Do:
Select foods which are as fresh as
l
possible, and as cold as possible ie; preferably straight from the
refrigerator.
l
Choose foods which are suitable for
cooking from a cold start, as some
dishes will be affected by being
left uncooked, at room temperature,
perhaps for several hours - eg; a
wet filling on a pastry base.
l
Make sure that meat an d poultry
are thoroughly thawed (but still cold
from the refrigerator), before placing
them in the oven, and avoid using
rolled joints of meat which can be
more susceptible to the growth of
food poisoning organisms.
Cover dishes with lids or foil to
l
keep the food moist, prevent the
transfer of odours, and protect from
possible contamination; the food
can be uncovered towards the end
of cooking to crisp and brown.
Do not:
l
Warm food should never be
placed in the oven if there is a
delay period. Stews prepared by
frying the meat and vegetables
first should be cooked as soon as
possible, or refrigerated prior to
placing in the oven.
l
Some dishes are not suitable for
cooking on automatic - eg; dishes
containing left over cooked meat
or poultry, eggs, cooked rice or
seafood.
l
Do not put food items (intended for
automatic cooking) into a warm
oven. Allow the oven to c o o l b e f o r e
setting for automatic cooking.
Do not over-fill dishes containing
l
liquids as they might boil over.
Never leave food in the oven to
l
cool slowly after cooking; serve
immediately or refrigerated.
Never use the automatic facility to
l
reheat ‘cook chill’ foods as they
should go straight from the
refrigerator into a preheated oven.
18
Page 20
Using the Oven
Important: Food is more susceptible
to the growth of food poisoning
organisms in warm conditions. If the
weather is hot, either take care to
ensure that food is not left standing in
a warm oven, or avoid using the
automatic cooking facility.
Hints for automatic cooking
l
Food is placed in a cold oven so
you will need to add about 10 15 minutes onto the cooking time
to allow for the oven to reach the
selected temperature.
Wine or beer may ferment, and
l
cream may curdle during the delay
period, so it is best to add these
ingredients just before serving.
l
Potatoes should be parboiled or
brushed with oil to prevent
discolouration during the delay
period.
Meat can be brushed with oil to
l
prevent it drying.
l
Lemon juice can be added to
certain fruits and vegetables such
as apples, pears, turnips and
parsnips to prevent discolouration
during the delay period.

Semi-automatic cooking
There are two types of semi automatic
cooking available on this appliance.
The oven must be switched on, and in
use to use either of these functions
successfully.
The Duration method allows you to set
the oven for a specific length of time.
If a dish needed 2 hours to cook, then
it would be possible for you to set the
oven to turn off 2 hours later. This
allows you to be sure that your food
will be cooked for a set length of time
and no longer.
The End Time method allows you to
enter a specific time when you would
like the oven to switch off. If you wish
to leave the oven unattended, then it
offers peace of mind that the oven will
have turned itself off at the set time.
For the instructions on how to use both
of these functions, please see the following page.
Fully automatic cooking
This function incorporates both a duration and an end time and is meant to be
used when you wish to delay the start
time.
We recommend that the first few times
this function is used you are in the
house, this will familiarise you with your
oven and prevents food from being over
cooked or under cooked.
Care must be taken when selecting
foods for this function, it is not recommended for certain food items which
may spoil, or are sensitive to being left.
It is also advisable to set the end time to
be as close to your return as possible to
prevent food being left standing.
However, once the program is set then
it cannot be adjusted. Extra time cannot be added, nor can the end time be
extended.
To cancel the semi automatic programs, press both the Plus and Minus
buttons together. This can be done at
any time during the cooking process.
Then if necessary, re program.
To check the Duration time set press the
function button twice. To check the End
Time press the function button three
t i m e s .
To cancel the automatic programmer
press the Plus and Minus buttons together and then make sure the oven is

Cleaning
C a u t i o n : Any cleaning agent
used incorrectly may damage
the appliance.
Always let the oven cool before
cleaning.
Some cooking operations generate
considerable amount of grease, this
combined with spillage can become a
hazard if allowed to accumulate on
the appliance through lack of
cleaning. In extreme cases this may
amount to misuse of the appliance and
could invalidate your guarantee.
It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.
Do not use caustic, corrosive or
abrasive cleaning products, products
containing bleach, coarse wire wool
or any hard implements, as they will
damage the surfaces.
All parts of the oven can be safely
cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water.
To avoid damaging the surfaces
when removing stubborn marks, we
recommend the following:
Vitreous enamel parts
GRILL PAN,OVEN COMPARTMENT FLOOR
Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”.
Stubborn marks may be removed with
a moistened “Brillo” pad.
The grill pan may be cleaned in a
dishwasher, or with a nylon brush in
hot soapy water.
Chrome plated parts
OVEN SHELVES&OVEN SHELF RUNNERS
GRILL PAN TRIVET
Do not use abrasives or polishes. Use
a moist soap pad.
Shelf runners can be removed for
cleaning. Grasp the runners, and slide
out of the hanging holes as shown.
Note: These items may also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.

Cleaning
Stainless steel surfaces
FACIA PANEL,HANDLES
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water, and dry with a soft cloth.
Stubborn marks can be removed using
“Luneta”. We recommend that you
clean the whole of the stainless steel
area to maintain a uniform finish.
Supplies can be purchased from the
Customer Care Centre.
Do not use undiluted bleach or any
products containing chlorides as they
can permanently damage the steel.
Extra care should be taken when
cooking food in salted water. Some
foods are corrosive - eg; vinegar, fruit
juices and especially salt - they can
mark or damage stainless steel if they
are left on the surface. Turn off and
wipe any spillage immediately, taking
care to avoid skin contact with any hot
surface or spillage.
Sharp objects can mark the surface of
stainless steel, but marks will become
less noticeable with time.
To maintain the finish of the stainless
steel, or to remove any greasy marks,
wipe the stainless steel surface
sparingly with a minimum amount of
Baby Oil and kitchen paper. Do not
use cooking oils, as these may contain
salt, which can damage the stainless
steel surface.

Step 1: Prepare installation
Do not lift the oven by the
door handle.
Whilst every care is taken to eliminate
burrs and raw edges from this appliance,
please take care when handling - we
recommend the use of protective
gloves during installation.
Please note that the weight of this
appliance is approximately 2 7 k g
(unpacked). Take care when lifting it
into the housing unit - always use an
appropriate method of lifting.
If this appliance is to be installed near
to a corner where the adjacent cabinets
run at right angles forward of the
appliance, there must be a gap of at
least 90mm between the appliance and
the cabinets, to prevent overheating of
the cabinets.
Note: When removing the appliance
from the base tray packaging care
should be taken not to damage the
appliance.
1. When installing in a typical
600mm deep, built in housing
unit, the false back should be
removed from the housing unit to
provide the necessary depth for
installation.
2. When the false back is removed, it
is normally the case that the support
shelf for the appliance leaves a
gap between the back edge and
the wall of approximately 80mm.
3. If no gap occurs between the back
edge of the shelf and the wall
behind the unit, we recommend
that a gap of at least 30mm is
made by shortening the shelf.
Remove the fixing screws from the
polythene bag on the top of the
appliance, but leave the appliance in
the base tray packaging until you are
ready to install it.
