Be safe

Warning
Accessible parts will become hot in use. To avoid burns and scalds children

should be kept away.

During use, and afterwards, the appliance will be warm, so be careful with little
children. If the younger members of your family are allowed into the kitchen we
strongly advise that they are kept under supervision at all times.

Electricity on

Make sure that the electricity supply is turned on.

Peculiar smells

When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop after
a little use.

Before using for the first time, to dispel manufacturing odours turn the ovens
to 240°C and run for an hour. Make sure the room is well ventilated to the
outside air, by opening windows for example.

The Ovens

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should
be taken to avoid touching the heating elements
inside the ovens.

Before using for the first time, to dispel
manufacturing odours turn the ovens to 240°C and
run for an hour. To clear the smell make sure the
room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening
windows for example.

The clock must be set to the time of day before the
Multifunction ovens will work. See ‘The Clock’ section

for instructions on setting the time of day.

Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature
you need.

The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has
reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle
on and off during cooking.

The Ovens

Both ovens are Multi-function ovens. As well as the
oven fan and fan element, they are fitted with two extra
heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven
and the second under the oven base. Take care to avoid
touching the top element and element deflector when
placing or removing items from the oven. For more
detail on these ovens see the section ‘Multi-function
oven’.

The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to
the back of the oven.

Baking trays meat tins etcetera should be placed
level centrally on the oven’s wire shelves. Keep all
trays and containers away from the sides of the
oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur.

For even browning, the maximum recommended size
for a baking tray is 330mm by 290mm.

Cooking high moisture content foods can create a
‘steam burst’, when the oven door is opened. When
opening the oven stand well back and allow any
steam to disperse.

The Multi-function ovens have two controls, a function
selector and a temperature setting knob.

Turn the function selector control to a cooking function.
This is the fan oven setting.

U108910 4

When the oven is on, don’t leave the door open for
longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get
very hot.

• Always leave a ‘fingers width’ between dishes on
the same shelf. This allows the heat to circulate
freely around them.

• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning your
cooker) work better when fat splashes are avoided.
Cover meat when cooking.

• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables
to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or
brush lightly with cooking oil.

• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat a baking tray for 15 minutes before placing
the dish in the centre of the tray.

• Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking tray.

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 first. 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.

U108910 6

Very perishable foods such as pork or fish should be
avoided if a long delay period is planned, especially in
hot weather.

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.

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 left
over 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.

Multi-function oven functions

Defrost

This function operates the fan to circulate cold
air only. No heat is applied. This enables small items
such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fish
and poultry to be defrosted.

Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and
protects the food from flies. Pieces of meat, fish and
poultry should be placed on a rack, over a tray to
catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and tray
after defrosting.

Defrost with the oven door closed.

Large items, such as whole chickens and joints should
not be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be
carried out in a refrigerator.

Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven
or when an adjoining oven is in use or still warm.

Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are
completely defrosted before cooking.

Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked before
serving.

Multi-function ovens

Both ovens are Multi-function. They have many varied
uses. We suggest you keep a careful eye on your
cooking until you are familiar with each function.
Remember - not all functions will be suitable for all
food types.

Please remember that all cookers vary - temperatures
in your new ovens may differ to those in your
previous cooker.

Fan oven

This function operates the fan and the heating
element around it. An even heat is produced
throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large
amounts quickly.

Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking
on several shelves at one time and is a good ‘all­round’ function. It may be necessary to reduce the
temperature by approximately 10°C for recipes
previously cooked in a conventional oven.

If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until the
indicator light has gone out before inserting the food.

Fan assisted oven

This function operates the fan, circulating air
heated by the elements at the top and the base of
the oven. The combination of fan and conventional
cooking (top and base heat) makes this function ideal
for cooking large items that need thorough cooking,
such as a large meat roast. It is also possible to bake
on two shelves at one time, although they will need
to be swapped over during the cooking time, as the
heat at the top of the oven is greater than at the base,
when using this function.

This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an
eye on the food cooking until you have become
accustomed to this function.

7 U108910

Fanned grilling

This function operates the fan whilst the top

element is on. It produces a more even, less
fierce heat than a conventional grill. For best results,
place the food to be grilled, on a grid over a roasting
tin, which should be smaller than a conventional grill
pan. This allows greater air circulation. Thick pieces
of meat or fish are ideal for grilling in this way, as the
circulated air reduces the fierceness of the heat from
the grill. The oven door should be kept closed whilst
grilling is in progress, so saving energy. You will also
find that the food needs to be watched and turned
less than for normal grilling. Pre-heat this function
before cooking.

Conventional oven
(top and base heat)

This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked
on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than on
the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top
of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan assisted oven’
function. Similar items being cooked will need to be
swapped around for even cooking. This means that
foods requiring different temperatures can be cooked
together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of
the oven and hotter area to the top.

Browning element

This function uses the element in the top of
the oven only. It is a useful function for the browning
or finishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce,
shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be browned
being already hot before switching to the top
element.

The Handygrill

The maximum weight than can be held by the
Handygrill is 5.5kg (12lb). It should only be used
with the supplied tin, which is designed to fit the
rack. Any other vessel could be unstable.

The Handygrill fits on the oven door. Food cooking on
it is easy to attend to, because it’s accessible when the
door is opened. It can be fitted at different heights.
Depending on the height that it is fixed, the oven
shelves may need to be removed or repositioned to
suit.

Using your Handygrill

Fan Grilling

Fanned grilling is carried out with the oven door
closed.

The racking on the inside of the Multifunction Oven
door (left hand oven) allows you to position the
Handygrill at any of four different levels.

Using the Handygrill for fan grilling gives you the
ability to tend the food without having to lift the grill
pan out of the oven.

It is important to remember to clean the grill pan
after each grilling session, as a build up of fat would
dangerous and unhygienic.

Base heat

This function uses the base element only. It
will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or finish off
cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower shelf.
It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of
casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate
warming.

The Browning and Base heat functions are useful
additions to your oven, giving you flexibility to finish
off items to perfection. With use, you will soon realise
how these functions can combine to extend your
cooking skills.

U108910 8

Be careful when opening and closing the oven door
whilst using the Handygrill.

Grilling Cooking Chart

The position of the Handygrill on the oven door
brackets will depend upon the size of the food being
grilled.

Pre-heat the oven on the fanned grilling function
with the oven door closed for 5-10 minutes before
use.

Always decide on the level at which to grill before
the preheating period as the Handygrill rack and pan
will get very hot.
