electrician/competent person. Safety may be impaired
if installation is not carried out in accordance with these
instructions.
l
This cooker must be earthed.
l
Do not remove the screws from the earth tab
extending from the oven mains terminal block
(Fig. 8).
l
Before connecting the cooker make sure that the
voltage of your electricity supply is the same as
that indicated on the rating plate. The rating plate
can be seen by opening the oven door and
looking below the oven door seal.
l
Do not alter the electrical circuitry of this cooker.
THINGS TO NOTE
l
This cooker is designed to be fitted in cabinets of
the recommended dimensions as shown (Fig. 3
and 4).
l
The dimensions given provide adequate air
circulation around the unit within the cabinet,
ensuring compliance with BS EN60-335.
l
Enquiries regarding the installation of the cooker
point if required should be made to your Regional
Electricity Company to ensure compliance with
their regulations.
GETTING THINGS READY
CHOICE OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
l
There are two possible ways to connect your
cooker, please choose from the most appropriate
after reading the descriptions:
a) It is recommended that this appliance is wired
with suitably rated cable (min 13 A), into fixed
wiring using a double pole isolator with at least
3mm contact separation in all poles and neutral,
located within 2m of the appliance. If this fixed
wiring circuit is only supplying the cooker, then a
fuse of 13A (or circuit breaker) should be
incorporated. When the circuit combines oven
and hob, then wire and fuse rating should be
increased accordingly.
Subject to Regional Electricity Company
regulations if you wish to connect the
oven and hob to the power supply you
may use one of the following two
methods:-
b) If you wish to connect an oven and a hob to a
cooker point you can:i) By connecting the oven and hob separately
to the cooker point. Oven and hob units
should be separately connected to a control
panel. In this case the cooker should be
operated from 6mm, twin core, and earth,
PVC insulated cable. See Fig. 1.
l
The cooker point should be within 2m of the
cooker to make it accessible to switch off the
cooker in case of an emergency.
l
To protect the hands wear gloves when lifting the
oven into its housing.
NOTE: HOUSE CIRCUIT
Earth leakage and continuity tests must be carried
out before the cooker is connected to the mains
supply and re-checked after fitting.
Fig.1
8
ii) By connecting the cooker point to the hob
and then connecting the hob to the oven.
Provided that the hob manufacturer permits
it, connect the oven to the hob and the hob
to the cooker point using the same cabling
as described in (a) above. Check the hob
terminal block is large enough to take two
cables and is of suitable rating. If not b) i) on
page 8 must be used. See Fig. 2.
NOTE: 13 Amp cable is not suitable for connecting
this application.
Fig. 2
NOTE: It is good practice to:
l
Fit an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker to your
house wiring.
l
Wire your appliance to the latest IEE regulations.
PREPARING CABINET FOR FITTING OF OVEN
l
Make sure the cabinet is the correct size for the
appliance to be fitted (Ref. Fig. 3 and 4.)
l
If the size is between 565-570mm, then the
cabinet should be modified so that at the screw
fixing points the recommended dimension of at
least 560-565mm is maintained. The modification
should ideally be localised to ensure that after
screw fitment the oven is securely fixed into
position.
l
The cabinet must be stable and level by firmly
securing it to the wall or floor. If necessary, make
arrangements to ensure the shelf upon which the
oven will rest is level.

RATING PLATE
Record the model, product 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
Wipe over the base of the ovens with a soft cloth and
hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven furniture
before use.
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their
surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
The timer must be set to manual before the oven can
be operated. See pages 17 and 21. 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
Surfaces in close contact with the oven vent should be
regularly wiped to reduce soilage and discolouration from
cooking vapours.
COOKWARE
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 TRIVET
When roasting use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and
meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and can
be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the inside surface of the
oven.
N.B. The meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.
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 may run on after the controls are switched off until
the appliance has cooled. 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.
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. It may be necessary to
wipe over the cooker occasionally to remove any
droplets of water. This is quite normal and is not
caused by a fault on the cooker.
NOTE
The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long
the oven has been used and at what temperature. It
may not switch in at all at lower temperature settings
nor run on where the grill or oven has only been used
for a short time.
15
THE SHELF POSITIONS
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
Recommended shelf positions have been shown in
the cooking chart on page 34.
If not fitted correctly the shelf will lie at an angle and
the safety stop will not be effective. To ensure that the
shelf has the correct side uppermost, the wire
stringers, which make up the shelf, should lie on top
of the surrounding frame.
PUSH PUSH CONTROL KNOBS
(BS 641 only)
The following items of grill and oven furniture have
been supplied with the cooker.
1 grill pan/meat tin
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 grill deflector
These control knobs can remain flush with the control
panel, when not in use, or pushed and released to
stand out from the panel for easy operation.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the oven or grill is
switched ON. In the case of the oven, the neon also
indicates when the set temperature has been
reached. It will cycle on and off during use to show
that the temperature is being maintained.
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.
When the oven is set for automatic cooking the neon
should remain unlit during OFF periods.
1 trivet
2 straight shelves
The grill deflector sits above the grill element and
prevents fat splashing onto the oven roof. The
deflector may be easily removed for cleaning.
Scuffing of the Stayclean oven lining by the oven
furniture pack may occur during transit.
16
These marks will disappear after the oven elements
have been burnt off for the first time.
