GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
15 minutes at 220
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.
o
C to burn off any residue from
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill
is switched on and after a period of time when the
oven is switched on. It may run on after the controls
are switched off until the appliance has cooled.
Note: The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the oven or grill has been used and at what
temperature. It may not run on where the grill or
oven has been used for a short time or at low
temperatures.
Do not switch the appliance off at its power point
until the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
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.
OVEN INDICATOR NEON
The light will indicate whether the oven is switched
on, the neon also indicates when the set temperature
has been reached. The neon will turn on and off
during use to show that the temperature is being
maintained.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance 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 appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
TO USE THE MINUTE MINDER
To use the Minute Minder turn the control knob to the
required time.
The Minute Minder, when set, will mark the end of a
timed period with an acoustic alarm. The maximum
timing is 120 minutes.
TIMER
Please Note: the longer the set time duration, the
longer the acoustic alarm will sound.
The Minute Minder will not affect in any way the oven
operation if it is in use.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the appliance:
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 shelf for grilling
1 shelf for fan

THE GRILL
WARNING – Accessible parts become hot
when the grill is in use. Keep children
away.
USES OF THE GRILL
The grill is situated in the top compartment.
The grill gives variable heat settings. Use the high
numbers for foods that cook quickly such as toast
and the lower numbers to cook thicker foods such as
chicken after it has been browned on the high
number.
HOW TO USE THE GRILL
1. To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the
grill control in either direction.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan has a removable handle.
To insert the handle, press the button on the handle
slightly upwards inserting the lip into the widest part
of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left,
lower into position and release the button.
Ensure the handle is properly 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.
2. The highest number represents the hottest setting
and the lowest number the coolest.
3. Setting 5 represents the grill on Full.
At lower settings the grill may turn on and off over
time and you may prefer to use these settings for
keeping food warm. The food will however
continue to cook gently if the grill is used for this
purpose.
THINGS TO NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING
Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as
the grill cleans itself.
Protect your hands when removing the grill
pan handle.
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.
16
The grill pan must not be located in the
shelf runners.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking.
Ensure that you support the grill pan when
it is withdrawn.
HINTS AND TIPS
·Most foods should be placed on the grilling grid
in the grill pan. This allows maximum circulation
of air by raising the food out of fats and juices.
·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.
·Adjust the grid and grill pan runner to allow for
different thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster cooking and
further away for more gentle cooking.
·The grill pan is reversible. This is useful if you
want to cook foods of varying thicknesses. As a
general rule, bread for toasting should be placed
on the grid in the ‘high’ position in the grill pan.
Foods such as chicken pieces or chops may be
grilled using the grilling grid in the low position.
·The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.
·The grill door must be left open when grilling.
For convenience the grill door can be left ajar.
·Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes
before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat
setting and the shelf position as necessary during
cooking.

THE FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The Fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking
larger quantities of food, or for weekend or
celebration meals.
The advantages of Fan 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 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. For best
results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready
meals preheat the oven first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the
temperatures recommended in the chart on page 21
until you are familiar with the lower temperatures
associated with Fan oven cooking. As a guide
reduce temperatures by 20°C - 25°C for your own
recipes, using a conventional oven.
THINGS TO NOTE
·The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven
has reached the desired temperature and then
go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
The oven fan will operate continually during
cooking.
·The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time. See page 14 for further details on the
operation of the cooling fan.
TO FIT THE FAN OVEN SHELVES
There are 7 shelf positions in the oven. Shelf
positions are counted from the bottom upwards.
7
1
BATCH BAKING
The Fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels,
especially useful when batch baking.
HOW TO USE THE FAN OVEN
1. Turn the Fan oven temperature control to the
required setting.
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.
19
HINTS AND TIPS
·Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are
counted from the bottom upwards.
·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.
·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.
·The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning of
the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
·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, on page 21.
·For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.

DEFROST FEATURE
USES OF DEFROST FEATURE
This fan oven function enables you to defrost most
foods without heat 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.
HOW TO DEFROST
1. Turn the Fan oven temperature control to Defrost
setting.
·The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.
·It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry
slowly in the fridge. However, this process can
be accelerated by using the defrost function.
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.
THINGS TO NOTE
· The oven fan will operate.
HINTS AND TIPS
·Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting 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.
·DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it
is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled.
·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.

1. Open the grill or oven door slightly to gain access
to the two cross head screws on the top of the
oven door.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or scourers
on the outside of the appliance as some of the
finishes are painted and damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel and oven doors
using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little liquid detergent has been added.
Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be
wiped off immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish.
2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive
screwdriver.
3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one
hand remove the screws and washers with the
other hand.
The screws and washers retain the trim on the top
of the grill door. Note the position of the trim on
the door.
4. Holding the door and glass with one hand, gently
pull towards you and slightly lift the door glass
with the other hand to disengage the panel from
the location point at the bottom of the door.
Gently release the door to close it.
Do not attempt to remove any of the control
knobs from the appliance as this may
cause damage and is a safety hazard.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy
water or Hob Brite. Should the inner face of the
outer door glass be heavily soiled it is
recommended that soapy water with a high
concentration of soap is used. To prevent
streaking a glass cleaning spray may be applied
and the glass polished with a soft cloth. Ensure
that all parts are thoroughly dry before attempting
to replace the outer door glass.
24
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.
Please contact your local Service Force
Centre who will be pleased to advise
further.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER DOOR 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.
2. Holding the door glass with your left hand, use
your right hand to open the oven door.
Bring the door gently towards the glass panel
ensuring the screw location holes line up.
3. Place the trim in the correct position on the top of
the grill door.
4. Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert
the cross head screws with washers into the
location holes with the other hand. Give the
screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure.
5. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive
screwdriver before closing the oven door.
During normal use the Stayclean coating will become
splashed with fats and food residues. By running the
oven without food, the Stayclean surfaces burn off
any soilage.
TO REMOVE THE WIREWORK RUNNERS
The wirework runners in the grill and oven
cavities can be removed for cleaning.
1. Remove all shelves and furniture from the grill
and oven compartments.
2. Hold the wirework at the bottom, unclip from the
cavity side and gently pull towards the centre of
the grill or oven compartment.
3. Unhook the runner at the top and remove from
the cavity.
SIDE PANEL

CENTRE
DO NOT attempt to use the oven without
the glass being in place.
CLEANING THE INNER GLASS DOOR
The inner glass door is not removable. Clean using
hot soapy water or Hob Brite and a soft cloth. DONOT use abrasives as they may damage the glass or
seal.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL
COMPARTMENTS
The Stayclean surface on the rear oven panel in the
fan oven should not be cleaned manually.
The vitreous enamel in the grill compartment and the
fan oven base and sides can be cleaned using
normal 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 the
Stayclean rear oven panel and must not come
into contact with elements or the door deal as
this may cause damage.
4. To replace, hook the wirework runner back into
the grill/oven sides.
Ensure that the wirework runners are firmly
in place before refitting the oven shelves.
CLEANING THE SHELVES, WIREWORK
RUNNERS AND GRILL/OVEN FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid, oven shelves and
wirework runners may be cleaned using a soap
impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot
soapy water will make cleaning easier.

COOKING TO REDUCE SOILAGE
·Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperature for an
increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
·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.
·It is NOT necessary to add water to a 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.
·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 over-browned.
