RATING PLATE
COOKWARE
Record the model and serial numbers on the back
cover of this instruction book from the rating plate.
This is situated on the lower front frame of the
cooker and can be seen upon opening the oven
door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is
given on the rating plate.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR OVEN
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short
period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
During this period an unpleasant odour may be
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window
for ventilation.
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
(BS 611 only)
When the cooker is first switched on at the wall the
timer will make an audible sound. To stop the sound
press both timer buttons together.
(BS 621 only)
The timer must be set to manual before the oven can
be operated. See page 19. This must be done
whenever the cooker is switched off at the wall or
when there has been a power failure.
If the oven indicator neon does not glow when the
controls are switched on, it is most likely that the
timer is set for automatic cooking.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm
(12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
is switched on and after a short time when the oven
is in use.
During the initial period the cooling fan may cycle ON
and OFF, this is quite normal.
It runs on after the controls are switched off until
the appliance has cooled BS621 Only - if an
automatic programme has been set the cooling fan
does not come on until the cook time begins.
Do not switch off the cooker at its power point before
the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON
This light indicates whether the oven (BS 621) or grill
or oven (BS 611 only) is switched ON. In the case of
the oven, the neon also indicates when the set
temperature has been reached.
If the neon does not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and reset following the
instructions for the required setting.
(BS 621 Only)
When the oven is set for automatic cooking the neon
should remain unlit during OFF periods.
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle does. The oven is vented to
allow some of this steam to escape. However,
always stand back from the cooker when opening the
oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to
release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
15
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker.
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 grill deflector
2 straight shelves
(BS 621 Only)
Scuffing of the Stayclean oven lining by the oven
furniture pack may occur during transit.
These marks will disappear after the oven elements
have been burnt off for the first time.

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING
l
The cooling fan for the controls will operate when
grilling.
l
The oven/grill indicator neon will illuminate on the
BS 611.
(BS 621 only)
l
The outer grill element may appear to glow slightly
brighter than the inner element. This is quite normal.
l
Do not attempt to use the grill when the fan oven
has been set to automatic as overheating will
occur.
l
The dual grill operates independently of the oven.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To insert the handle, press the button on the handle
with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards
inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. Move
the handle towards the left, lower into position and
release the button.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking or the carrier shelf can be lifted
away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant
work surface.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift
the food out of the fats and juices. Food such as
fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on
the grill pan if preferred.
l
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food. Position
the food close to the element for faster cooking
and further away for more gentle cooking.
Ensure the handle is positively located.
To remove the handle, press the button on the handle with
the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards and
towards the right to remove from the bracket.
Ensure your hand is protected when removing
the grill pan handle as the grill element can
become very hot.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE
DURING GRILLING.
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure
that the cut out on the underside of the handle
bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf.
l
Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish
lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.
l
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats.
24
(BS 611 Only)
l
Cook toast and rare steaks using the preheated
full heat grill. All other foods cook very
successfully on thermal grill.
l
When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used with the grid in its 'High'
position.
(BS 621 Only)
l
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust
the heat setting and the shelf as necessary
during cooking.
l
The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.
Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the
oven upwards.
The times quoted above are given as a guide and
should be adjusted to suit personal taste.
25
THE FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven,
the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of
fanned oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without
preheating, however, you may find you need to add an extra 5-10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés, etc., best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 28. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C-25°C for your own recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
BS 611
BS 621
OVEN
1)Ensure the selector is set to Fan Oven.2)Turn the temperature control to the required
setting.
26
THINGS TO NOTE
l
The oven neon will glow until the oven has
reached the desired temperature and then go
out. It will cycle ON and OFF periodically during
cooking showing that the temperature is being
maintained.
l
The oven fan will operate continually during
cooking.
l
(BS 621 Only)
The interior oven light will come ON when the
temperature is selected.
l
(BS 621 Only)
If an automatic programme is set, the oven fan
and oven light do not come on until the cook time
begins.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and
safety stop mechanism will be affected.
l
When cooking more than one dish in the fan
oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves
rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf,
this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the
best cooking results.
l
When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.
l
It is recommended that when baking larger
quantities the shelf positions should be evenly
spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight
increase in cooking time may be necessary.
Back of the Oven
Straight Rods
Frame
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelves are
numbered from the bottom upwards.
l
DO NOT place baking trays directly on the oven
floor as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf
position. However, non-critical dishes may be
placed on the oven base when more space is
required.
l
The use of excessively high temperatures
can cause uneven browning. It may be
necessary to reduce temperatures slightly.
Refer to the recommendations given in the
oven cooking chart see page 28.

temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints.
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 30 - 60 min. cooking time.
29
THERMAL GRILLING
USES OF THERMAL GRILLING
Thermal grilling offers an alternative method
of cooking food items normally associated
with conventional grilling.
The grill element and the oven fan operate together,
circulating hot air around the food. The need to
check and turn food is reduced. Thermal grilling
helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and
allows you to grill with the oven door closed.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can
thermal grill all the foods you would normally cook
under a conventional grill.
SELECTING THERMAL GRILLING
BS 611
The lower part of the oven can be used to cook
accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes
and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.
Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie,
lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and
browned on the top using the thermal grilling function.
BS 621
OVEN
1) Turn the selector to Thermal Grill.
2) Turn the oven temperature control to the required
setting. (A temperature of between 140°C and
220°C is suitable for thermal grilling). Use the
grilling chart on page 31 as a guide.
THINGS TO NOTE
l
The oven/grill indicator neon will glow on the BS 611
and the oven indicator neon will glow on the BS 621
until the oven has reached the desired temperature
and then go out. It will cycle ON and OFF showing that
the oven temperature is being maintained.
l
The cooling fan for the controls will operate
immediately in conjunction with the thermal grilling
function (BS 611 Only). It may cycle ON and OFF
during the initial period, which is quite normal (BS 621
only).
30
l
(BS 621 Only)
The internal light will come on.
l
Warning: Do not Auto-time this function (BS 621
only).
l
Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells
in the kitchen and is carried out with the main
oven door closed and the grill pan handle
removed.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Prepare foods in the same way as for
conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish
lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist
during cooking.
l
Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid
in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow
maximum circulation of air around the food.
l
Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled
dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne,
etc., are piping hot throughout before serving.
l
A temperature range of 140-220°C and shelf
positions 3 and 4 are suitable for most foods. Be
prepared to make suitable adjustments during
cooking to suit individual requirements. If thermal
grilling on more than one level, it may be
necessary to interchange the food on the shelves
during cooking.
COOKING TIMES
Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally
takes a little longer to cook when thermal grilling
compared with conventional grilling. One of the
advantages is that larger loads can be cooked at the
same time.
A general guide to cooking times is given below but
these times may vary slightly depending on the
thickness and quantity of food being cooked.
l
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed below the grid
when grilling meats, or in a separate dish
on a lower shelf.
l
Foods will cook more quickly the closer
they are to the grill element and the higher
the temperatures selected. Be prepared to
adjust temperatures and shelf positions
during cooking if necessary.

DEFROSTING
USES OF DEFROST FEATURE
This function enables you to defrost most foods
faster than some conventional methods as the oven
fan circulates air around the food. It is particularly
suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be
served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered
with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits,
scones etc.
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly
in the fridge. However, this process can be
accelerated by using the defrost function.
SELECTING DEFROST
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed
or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be
thawed in 1 - 2 hours.
A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in
approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon
as possible during the thawing process.
Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be
thawed using the defrost function.
ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE
THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
BS 611
BS 621
OVEN
(BS 611 only)
1) Turn the selector to fan oven.
Do not select a temperature setting.
32
(BS 621 only)
1) Turn the selector to fan oven. Select the
defrost symbol ( ) on the temperature control.
THINGS TO NOTE
l
The oven light will illuminate. (BS 621 only).
l
The indicator neon should remain unlit.
l
If the temperature control is inadvertently set the
indicator neon will illuminate, however, no heat is
generated.
l
When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon
may occasionally come ON. It will stay ON until
the oven reaches room temperature and then go
OFF.
It may cycle ON and OFF periodically during
defrosting to maintain steady room temperature
inside the oven.
l
Care must always be taken when handling foods in the
home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to
prevent bacterial growth and cross contamination when
defrosting, preparing, cooking, cooling and freezing
foods.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
l
The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.
l
DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it
is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge.
33
HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD
Care must be taken when handling foods in the
home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene
to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross
contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking,
cooling, defrosting and freezing foods.
1. Always ensure food you purchase is of good
quality and in prime condition. Shop at a reliable
source and buy the 'freshest' looking package avoid shop worn labels or produce covered in
dust.
2. Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you
cannot store them straight away. The use of an
insulated container when shopping is advisable.
3. Buy and consume foods prior to the 'Sell by' or
'Best Before' date.
4. When you arrive home, place perishable foods in
the refrigerator or freezer immediately. Ensure
they are well covered to prevent them drying out
and to prevent any possible cross contamination
with bacteria from raw to cooked foods.
5. Follow the cooking instructions on packets of
prepacked and cook chill foods, but be prepared
to adjust cooking times and temperatures to suit
your particular oven. For example, the Fan Oven
generally requires 20-25°C lower temperature
than a conventional oven.
10. Cook meat thoroughly - use a meat thermometer
if preferred, which penetrates the joint to check
that the centre temperature has reached the
required temperature (see table below).
MEATTEMPERATURES
BeefRare - 60°C
Medium - 70°C
Well Done - 80°C
PorkWell Done - 80°C
LambMedium - 70°C
Well Done - 80°C
11. If not eaten straight away after cooking, food
should be cooled as quickly as possible (within
one hour) and then refrigerated or frozen as
required. Do not put hot food into a refrigerator
or freezer.
12. In the kitchen keep worktops, chopping boards
and utensils clean with hot soapy water between
preparation stages. Ideally, keep one chopping
board for raw meat and another for other foods.
Keep your dish cloths and tea towels clean.
6. Always ensure that cook chill foods are
thoroughly reheated until they are piping
hot throughout.
7. It is preferable to defrost frozen foods slowly in
the refrigerator. Alternatively, a microwave
cooker or the Defrost function on your oven may
be used.
8. Always cook defrosted foods immediately after
thawing. Thawed food should never be refrozen.
9. Joints of meat and poultry should be thoroughly
defrosted before cooking.
34
CARE AND CLEANING
BEFORE CLEANING THE COOKER ALWAYS
ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE
COOKER DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or scourers
on the outside of the cooker as some of the finishes
are painted and damage may occur. Regularly wipe
over the control panel and oven doors using a soft
cloth and liquid detergent.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN/GRILL
The Stayclean surface inside the oven should not
be cleaned manually. (BS 621 only) See page 36
'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'.
The vitreous enamel coating in the oven cavity of
BS611 and on the oven base only (BS 621) can be
cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven
cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers
instructions are followed and that all parts are well
rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean
surfaces and must not come into contact with
the elements or the door seal as this may cause
damage.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY
HAZARD.
CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR,
GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID AND OVEN
SHELVES
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher. Alternatively soak
them in hot soapy water if heavily soiled. They will
then clean more easily.
The grill pan and grill deflector may be cleaned using
a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid
and oven shelves should be cleaned using hot soapy
water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning
easier.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND
INNER DOOR GLASS
The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.
TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS
1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the
two cross head screws on the top of the oven
door.
2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive
screwdriver.
3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one
hand before removing the screws completely with
the other hand.
35
4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door
glass towards you. Lift slightly to disengage the
locators from the two bottom brackets.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy
water or Flash Cream cleaner. DO NOT try to
clean the aluminium foil which is inside the door.
The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is
damaged it will not work. Ensure that all parts are
well rinsed and thoroughly dry before attempting
to replace the outer door glass.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS
1. Holding the oven glass with both hands, gently
place the locators into the holes of the brackets
at the bottom of the oven door.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
(BS 621 ONLY)
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C.
To aid this process it is a good idea to run the oven
for an hour or two per week without food, to ensure
continued good performance from the Stayclean
finish.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Manual cleaning of Stayclean is not recommended.
Damage will occur if soap impregnated steel wool
pads, aerosol cleaners or any other abrasives are
used.
l
Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surface may occur in time. This does
not affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
l
A good time to allow the oven to run on is after
the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn
the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour
or so. It is important not to allow a build-up of
soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean from
working.
l
Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven
door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.
3. Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert
the cross head screws into the location holes
with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to
ensure the glass is secure.
4. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive
screwdriver before closing the oven door.
DO NOT attempt to use the oven without the
glass being in place.
TO CLEAN INSIDE THE INNER GLASS DOOR
The inner glass door is not removable. Clean using
hot soapy water or Flash Cream Cleaner and a soft
cloth. Take care NOT to use abrasives as they may
damage the glass or seal.
l
Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an
increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
l
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat
before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during
roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
l
It is NOT necessary to add water to the meat tin
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from
the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking, even at normal temperatures, as well as
causing condensation.
l
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow
extra browning if required. Some large joints and
turkeys especially benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before
the outside is overbrowned.
36
REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB
(BS 621 ONLY)
The type of bulb required is a 300C 25 watt small
Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1.
(Available through Tricity Bendix service centres).
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE COOKER FROM
THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING
THE BULB.
Open door and remove the shelves to enable easy
access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat blade
screwdriver between the oven side and the glass
which covers the bulb.
Support the glass with your hand and prise out
sufficiently to release the glass cover. Unscrew the
bulb in an anticlockwise direction until it is possible to
remove the bulb with ease.
Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise direction
until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the flange is
pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the glass by
pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the bulb
assembly.
Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply
and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary.
37
