The cooling fan helps to keep the
exterior cool during normal use.
When an element is operated, you
should hear the cooling fan switch on
automatically and be able to feel air
evacuating from the appliance vents
just below the fascia.
The cooling fan will continue to operate
for approximately 10 minutes after
turning off the elements. This is normal.
If there is no such indication that the
fan is operating, the appliance will
require servicing.

Using the Grill
handle
grill pan
grid
handle position
indicators
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used,
young children should be kept
away.
The grill is a single circuit fully variable
grill. It can be used for conventional
grilling, or as a fanned grill.
To switch on the grill
Turn the function selector control knob
to either the conventional grill
symbol, or the fanned grill symbol.
Turn the temperature selector control
knob clockwise to the desired grill
temperature setting.
To switch off the oven, return the
control knob to the “l” off position.
Preheating
For best results, preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes.
Detachable grill pan handle
Place the handle over the edge of the
grill pan, at the narrow side edges.
Slide the handle to the centre, and
locate between the handle position
indicators.
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 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
the handle to pour hot fats from the
grill pan.
Food for grilling should be positioned
centrally on the trivet.
5
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.
7
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.
9
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.
