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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Make sure it is pushed right in and touches the
back stop.
Never close the grill door when the grill is on.
6
The Ovens
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care
should be taken to avoid touching the heating
elements inside the oven.
The clock must be set to the time of day before
the ovens will work. See ‘The Clock’ section for
instructions on setting the time of day.
1
Turn the oven knob to the temperature you need.
4
The fans in both ovens circulate 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.
5
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.
2
The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has
reached the temperature you selected. It will then
cycle on and off during cooking.
3
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. This
is perfectly normal. As this steam can condense to
water droplets on the cool outer trim of the oven,
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.
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.

Clock Special Features
Key Lock
When the key lock is activated, the clock can be
operated as usual but the oven is locked and will
not come on. This means that your child could
select a cook program but the program will not be
activated and oven will not be switched on.

)
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
Hold the
Minute Minder (
Cooktime ( ) buttons
for about 8 seconds.
‘Of’ will appear on the
display.
Press the ‘+’ button
once. ‘On’ will appear
on the display.
) and
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.
