Operation
Electric Hotplates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control
knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 - 6
0 - OFF
1 - Minimum
6 - Maximum.
The hob has two types of hotplates:
Normal Hotplates (Back right and left)
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum
(6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then
adjusted to the required setting.
Rapid Hotplates (Front right and left)
The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will heat
up more quickly than a normal plate.
Over a period of time the red spot may
i
disappear, this will not affect the performance
of the hotplate.
It is important to note that the plate may smoke
a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour
when used for the first time. This is quite
normal and will disappear after a few minutes.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are
given in the following table.

Hints and Tips
i
Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several
characteristics:
● They should be fairly heavy duty
● They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly
larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.
● They should have a flat base to ensure good
contact with the plate.
This is particularly important when using pans for
high temperature frying or pressure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate
control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before you
finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed
on the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked
in well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature
which is more economical.
Ensure pans are large enough to avoid
liquids being split onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan on
them or with an empty pan on them.
Take care never to lean or reach over a hot
electric plate. Always point pan handles
inward or over the work surface next to the
hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a
pan as you pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Tricity Bendix
Service Centre.

Before the First Use of the Oven
Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the oven, before using the oven.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is quite normal.
☞
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
1. Set the oven function control knob to
MAX.
2. Open a window for ventilation.
3. Allow the oven to run empty for
approximately 45 minutes.

Using the Oven
•Always cook with the oven door closed.
•Stand clear when opening the drop
down oven door. Do not allow it to fall
open - support the door using the door
handle, until it is fully open.
•The oven has four shelf levels, and is
i
supplied with two shelves.
The shelf positions are counted from the
bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.
It is important that these shelves are
correctly positioned as shown in the
diagram.
•Do not place cookware directly on the
oven base.

Hints and Tips
i
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand backfrom the oven 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 oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and
is not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
•Use any oven proof cookware which will
withstand temperatures of 250°C.
•Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be
placed directly against the grid covering the fan at
the back of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
•Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation
of heat and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat
to the food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and
bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and
underneath browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,
aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking
and underneath browning.
Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the oven
cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may
become hot if the oven is on high for a long
period of time, therefore flammable materials
such as oven gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons
etc. should not be stored in the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will
also become hot, therefore care should be
taken when removing these items from the
drawer whilst the oven is in use or still hot.

Using the Conventional Oven
Hints and Tips
i
How to Use the
☞
Conventional Oven
Turn the oven function control knob to the
required temperature.
THINGS TO NOTE
●
The thermostat control light will remain on until
the correct temperature is reached. It will then
cycle on and off to show that temperature is being
maintained.
The middle shelf position allows for the best heat
distribution. To increase base browning simply lower
the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the
shelf position.
The material and finish of the baking trays and
dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware,
dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base
browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or
polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less
base browning.
Top oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes,
eg; lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when blind-baking
pastry or cooking pizza. It may also be used to finish
off quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is
cooked through.
Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning.
Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent
spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning
easier.
Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on
the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will
occur.
For faster preheating use the fan oven function to
preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes
out, then swich the selector to the conventional oven
setting.
Single level cooking gives best results. If you require
more than one level cooking use the fan oven
function.
When roasting, ensure the meat is
cooked thoroughly, use a meat
thermometer if preferred to check

How to Use the Grill
☞
1. Turn the oven control function knob to .
2. 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.
Preheat the grill for a few minutes before sealing
steaks or toasting. Adjust the shelf as necessary,
during cooking.

-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
-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
-Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats
-When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used.
-The food should be turned over during cooking, as
required.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
cooker from the electricity supply.
The Hob Top
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left
to cool.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
wasing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the
following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using
warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer.
To keep the plates looking as new, hotplate
conditioner can be purchased from most hardware
stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by HomeCare Products (follow
the manufacturer's instruction for use).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil
on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to
note that the plate will smoke a little and produce a
slightly unpleasant odour when next used.
Drying
Important: After cleaning, dry the hotplates
thoroughly by switching on to a low-medium setting
for a few minutes.
Restoring
To maintain the appearance of your sealed hotplates
apply a little salt-free vegetable oil or restorative
agent (i.e. "Collo Electrol", or Minky Hotplate
Cleaning Cloths) periodically.
To apply vegetable oil: first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off. Pour a
very small amount of salt-free oil onto a dry cloth or
kitchen paper. Apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate
surface and wipe off any excess. Heat the hotplate on
a medium setting for 1 minute.
To apply restorative agent: first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off. Apply a
very thin coating of Collo Electrol (using the
applicator). Heat the hotplate on a high setting for 2-3
minutes to cure. Some smoke will occur, this is
normal and nontoxic. (NB: this product is a resorative
agent not a cleanser. It is available from hardware
stores).
Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings may
become straw coloured with use. Use a proprietary
stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw
discolouration. This also applies to the area around
the hotplates on stainless steel hobs.
13
Cleaning the Oven
Before cleaning always allow the cooling
fan to cool the oven down before switching
off at the electricity supply.
The oven should be kept clean at all times.
A build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could
result in a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven,
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.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and
door seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm
water to which a little washing up liquid has been
added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
•Household detergent and bleaches
•Impregnated pads unsuitable for nonstick saucepans
•Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
•Chemical oven pads or aerosols
•Rust removers
•Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm
soapy water. Should the inner door glass become
heavily soiled it is recommended that a cleaning
product such as Hob Brite, or Bar Keepers Friend is
used.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the
glass panels are warm. If this precaution is
not observed the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or
has deep scratches, the glass will be
weakened and must be replaced to prevent
the possibility of the panel shattering.
Contact your local Service Centre who will
be pleased to advise further.
14
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water after each use. From time to time it will
be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.
Oven Shelves
To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water
and remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap
impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft
cloth.
