Be safe
Warning
Accessible parts will become hot in use. To avoid burns and scalds
children should be kept away.
If the younger members of your family are allowed into the kitchen we
strongly advise that they are kept under supervision at all times.I
We recommend you read the ‘General Safety Instructions’ section if you
have not used a electric cooker before. We describe some basic guidelines
on how to use a cooker safely.
Electricity on
Make sure that the electricity supply is turned on.
Peculiar smells
When you fi rst use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should
stop after a little use.

The Hob
1
Always place the pan on the hobplate before
switching on.
Use correct pans with thick fl at bottoms. For effi cient
heat transfer and even heat distribution a perfectly
fl at base pan is essential.
These will make total contact with the whole surface
of the hobplate, give maximum effi ciency and avoid
damage to the hobplate.
2
The drawing by each knob indicates which hob plate
that knob controls.
The hobplates have 6 heat settings and the
control knobs can be turned either clockwise or
anticlockwise.
The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food
affects the setting required. Higher settings are
required for larger quantities of food.
1 - 2 .....Delicate dishes (e.g. melting butter)
3 - 4 .....Steaming and simmering (e.g.
vegetables)
5 - 6 .....Boiling and frying (e.g. vegetables,
pancakes)
4
If you use a pan bigger than the hob plate you will
need to lift off the pan support around that plate.
Care of the Hobplates
The hobplates are made of cast iron, which will
rust if left wet.
Don’t put wet pans on the hobplates. If liquid is
accidentally spilt on the hobplate clean with a
damp cloth, then switch to the lowest setting to
dry the appropriate hobplate.
Oil the hobplates sparingly about once a month
(dependant on use) with a few drops of cooking
oil then rub over with a cotton cloth. Take care
NOT to oil the outer stainless bezel or the red
discs on any of the hobplates.
NB The red disc is an identifying mark for high
speed hobplates. It may wear away with use but
this will not affect hob performance in any way.
3
Pans must be large enough to cover the hobplate
completely. Never use a pan smaller than the
hobplate. The pan base must absorb all the heat
from the hobplates and thereby protect it from
overheating. Where possible always use a lid on the
saucepan.
The pan supports can be easily removed for
cleaning or to clean under them.
4
The Griddle
1
The griddle is designed for cooking food on directly.
2
Before turning on always check that the refl ector is
in position below the griddle plate.
A griddle
B element
C refl ector
5
Brush the griddle with oil (if required) before adding
the food. To reduce the heat, turn the control to a
lower number.
The top surface of the griddle has been coated
with a special non-stick fi nish to make it easier
to clean. To protect the coating always use
heat resistant plastic, wooden or nylon utensils,
avoid using metal cooking utensils as they may
scratch and damage the non-stick coating.
Use the following heat settings as a guide for
griddle cooking. Preheat for 5 minutes before
cooking.
3
Don’t use pans of any kind on the griddle. The
griddle surface is non-stick and metal cooking
utensils (e.g. spatulas) will damage the surface. Use
heat resistant plastic or wooden utensils.
4
Preheat the griddle for a maximum of 5 minutes
before adding food. Leaving it longer may cause
damage. The controls can be turned to a lower
position simply by turning the control knob to a lower
number.
Type of Food Heat Setting
Bacon 6 - 3
Chops 6 - 3
Steak 6 - 3
Burgers 6 - 3
Fish Cakes 3 - 1
Experience will soon familiarise you with the
correct setting to use for cooking.
After cooking allow the griddle to cool before
cleaning.
5
War mer
Use the warmer for keeping food warm while the
fi nal touches are put to a meal. Turn the control
knob anti-clockwise to the on position. The ‘HOT’
indicator lights up. For best results, pre-heat
a covered serving dish for 10 minutes before
adding food to it.
Use heat resistant dishes only.
3
The grill has two elements that allow either the
whole area of the pan to be heated or just the right
hand half.
To heat the whole grill, turn the knob clockwise to
position 3.
To heat the right hand half turn it anticlockwise.
CAUTION:- If a crack in the Warmer surface
becomes visible, due to accidental damage etc.,
isolate the appliance from the electricity supply
immediately by turning it off at the wall and
arrange for its repair.
DO NOT RECONNECT THE COOKER TO THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY UNTIL AFTER REPAIR!
The Grill
CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when
the grill is in use. Young children should be
kept away.
1
Remove the pan from the bottom of the grill
compartment.
4
For best results preheat for 2 minutes with the grill
pan in position. After placing your food on the grill
pan grid, slide the grill pan onto the side supports.
Adjust the heat to suit by turning the knob.
Make sure it is pushed right in and touches the
back stop.
Never close the grill door when the grill is on.
5
The grill pan grid can be turned over to give two
grilling positions.
Don’t leave the grill on for more than a few
moments, without the grill pan underneath it.
2
After placing your food on the grill tray pan, slide
the grill pan onto the side supports just below
the elements. Make sure it is pushed right in and
touches the back stop.
For best results, especially with toast,
preheat the grill with the grill pan in the
cooking position for two minutes before
use.
The grill trivet can be removed and the food
placed on it while you are waiting for the grill to
preheat.
The grill pan grid can be turned over to
give two grilling positions.
6
You can brown the top of dishes cooked in the
oven, under the grill by placing the dish onto
the base of the grill pan, which can easily slide
along the fl oor of the grill cavity.
The Ovens
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching the heating
elements inside the ovens.
The clock must be set to the time of day before
the ovens will work. See ‘The Clock’ section of
these instructions for how to set the clock.
Before using for the fi rst time, heat the ovens to
200°C for 30 minutes to dispel manufacturing
odours. Open a window to clear the smell.
1
The Left hand Oven
The left hand conventional oven is fi tted with two
heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven
and the second under the oven base.
Be careful to avoid touching the top element and
element defl ector when placing or removing items
from the oven.
4
The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has
reached the temperature you selected. It will then
cycle on and off during cooking.
5
During cooking, food naturally produces steam,
particulary when cooking foods with high water
content (e.g. oven chips). There may be some steam
visible at the grille at the rear of the hotplate and
the bottom of the left hand door. This is perfectly
normal. Steam can condense to water droplets
on the cool outer trim or the oven door. It may be
necessary during cooking to wipe away any moisture
with a soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling
and discolouration of the oven exterior by cooking
vapours.
Take care when opening the oven door as there may
be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door
is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to
disperse.
2
The Right hand Fan Oven
The fan in the right hand oven circulates hot air
continuously, which means faster more even
cooking.
The recommended cooking temperatures for a
fanned oven are generally lower than a non-fanned
oven.
3
Turn the oven knob to the temperature you need.
6
The fan only setting. The fan circulates air inside
the oven but the heating element is not turned on.
This setting is useful for defrosting frozen foods.
Whole chickens and large joints of meat should
be defrosted in the refrigerator. Do not defrost in a
warm oven or whilst the adjoining oven is hot.

)
Cooking using the timer
The timer can be used to turn just one oven
or both on and off automatically. The start and
stop time must be the same for both ovens but
different cooking temperatures can be set.
If you want to turn one of the ovens on
at the same time as the timer is set for
automatic cooking, you must wait until
the timer has turned on the oven/ ovens
fi rst. Then you can adjust either of them
manually in the normal way.
You can set the oven to turn on any time over
the following 24 hour period
If you want to cook more than one dish,
choose dishes that require approximately
the same time. However, dishes can be
‘slowed down’ slightly by using small
containers and covering them with
aluminium foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by
cooking smaller quantities or placing in
larger containers.
Very perishable foods such as pork or fi sh
should be avoided if a long delay period is
planned, especially in hot weather.
The clock oven
control functions are
now locked.
After a few seconds
the display will revert
to show the time
of day and the key
symbol (
To turn off the key lock

).
)
Don’t place warm food in the oven.
Don’t use an oven already warm.
Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm.
Avoid using wine or beer if there is a delay
period, as fermentation may take place.
To avoid curdling, cream should be added to
dishes just before serving.
Fresh vegetables, which may discolour during a
delay period, should be coated in melted fat or
immersed in a water and lemon juice solution.
Many frozen foods are ideal for delayed
cooking and can be placed in the oven while
still frozen.
Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet mixtures
on top of uncooked pastry are only satisfactory if
there is a short delay period. Dishes containing
leftover cooked meat or poultry should not be
cooked automatically if there is a delay period.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted
before placing in the oven.
Check that meat and poultry are fully
cooked before serving.
After a few seconds the display will revert to
show the time of day.
The oven and the clock oven control functions
can now be used normally.
