GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
15 minutes at 220
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.

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 appliance, 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.
The following items of grill/oven furniture have been
supplied with the appliance. If you require
replacements of any of the items listed below, please
contact your local Service Force Centre quoting the
relevant part number.

THE RADIANT HOB
USING THE HOB
• To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in
either direction to vary the heat setting.
• The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number the coolest
setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the
quantity and type of food to be cooked.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality saucepans
with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended.
The saucepan base should cover the hotplate as
much as possible. A base diameter of up to 225mm
(9”) may be used on a 180mm (7”) hotplate.
• Avoid placing fish kettles or large preserving
pans across two hotplates as this may cause
damage.
• Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
• Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases
are available and do comply with the above
recommendations.
HINTS AND TIPS
Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the hob to
help reduce scratches and maintain the efficiency of
the hotplates.
• To prolong the life of the hotplates:
• Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.
• Never use an asbestos mat.
• Never line the spillage tray with aluminium
foil.
• Never leave the hotplates ON when not
covered with a saucepan.
• For full details on deep fat frying and preserving
refer to instructions on page 11.

DEEP FAT FRYING
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan
one third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid
and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the
unfortunate event of a fire, switch the appliance OFF
at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid
or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool
for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the
hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently
switched ON.

1. Preparing the food.
Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and
breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with
batter coated foods as they will stick.
2. Amount of oil.
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full
of oil.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil.
It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the
temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a
small cube of bread into the oil which should be
brown in just under a minute if the oil is at the
correct temperature of 190°C/375°F.
4. Cooking the food.
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do Not add
too much food at once or the temperature of the
oil will be reduced and may result in soggy,
greasy food.
Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the
surface so will not brown on the upperside if not
turned. Once cooked, drain the food on
absorbent paper.
5. Double frying chips.
Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the
chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal
the outside. Remove the chips from the oil.
Increase the temperature of the oil to 190°C/375°
to finish cooking and brown the chips.
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of
the hob trim.
2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be
no more than one third full when all the
ingredients have been added. It is better to use
two pans rather than overfill one, or use half
quantities.
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally
good flavour.
5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not
completely dissolved before bringing jam to the
boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting
properties and colour of the jam.
6. To test jam for setting:
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.
If a jam thermometer is not available, remove
pan from heat, place sample of jam on dish and
cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen food
storage compartment of a refrigerator). When
cold it will crinkle and hold the mark of a finger
run through it, if it is at setting point.
7. The scum should be removed as soon as
possible after setting point has been reached.
Marmalade should be allowed to cool before
potting to prevent the peel rising.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

THE GRILL
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.
CHLDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
• Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or
anticlockwisefor the centre section only.
• The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number the coolest
setting.
NOTE
THE G RILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the
cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over
the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump
on the grill pan.
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not
necessary to remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right
and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill
pan.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill.

THE FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
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. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always 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 16. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C – 25°C for your own
recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
Turn the oven temperature control to the required
setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. 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.
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.
14
Page 15
HINTS AND TIPS
• Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions
are numbered 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.
• When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.
• 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.
• 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/foods may
be placed on the base of the oven when
additional space is required.
• 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 16.

DEFROST FEATURE
USES OF DEFROST
This fan oven function defrosts most foods faster
than more conventional methods. 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.
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed
or minced liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be
thawed in 1 – 2 hours.

• Turn the oven temperature control to the defrost
setting
• When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon
may come ON. It will stay ON until the oven
reaches room temperature and then go OFF.
• It may turn ON and OFF periodically during
defrosting to maintain a steady room
temperature, inside the oven.
HINTS AND TIPS
• Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
THINGS TO NOTE
Care must always 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 defrosting, preparing,
cooking, cooling and freezing foods.
• The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.
• 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 AND CLEANING
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH
AND ALLOW THE APPLIANCE TO COOL
BEFORE CLEANING.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, 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 BRASS PLATED HANDLES
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE BRASS
PLATED FINISH.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
CLEANING THE RADIANT HOB AND
HOTPLATE TRIMS
Clean the hob surface with liquid detergent or a mild
abrasive cream cleaner.
The chrome hotplate trims are removable for easy
cleaning, and can be washed in the dishwasher. The
chrome hotplate supports should NOT be removed.
The spillage tray below the hotplates can be cleaned
using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
For convenience, the hob is hinged and can be
supported using the hob stay rod during cleaning.
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.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Regularly wipe
over the control panel, splashback, oven doors and
cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent
cleaning materials.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF TH E
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY
HAZARD.
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN
FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the Stayclean oven
panels and grill pan handle can be washed in the
dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be
cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning
easier.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN/GRILL
COMPARTMENTS
The vitreous enamel in the grill compartment and on
the oven base 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 wit
elements as this may cause damage.
19
Page 20
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
Your appliance has oven linings coated with a special
finish to help make cleaning the oven easier.
The Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and
fats when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°c.
It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two
per week to ensure continued good performance
from the Stayclean finish.
THINGS TO NOTE
When operating the appliance at higher temperatures
than used in normal cooking the surfaces of the
appliance may get hotter than usual. Children should
be kept away.
HINTS AND TIPS
• Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surfaces IS
NOT recommended. Damage will occur if
abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used.
• 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.
• Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This does
not affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
• Agoodtimetoallowtheoventorunonisafter
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
surfaces from working.
• Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
• 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.
• 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.
