INTRODUCTION

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the door.
Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on
the back or top of some models (where applicable).

The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance
as this may invalidate the guarantee.

INSTALLATION

If your appliance has been damaged in transit,
contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt
to install it.

Your appliance left the factory fully packaged to
protect it from damage. If it is delivered without
packaging and damage has occurred, the
manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Contact
your supplier for advice.

The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by 'X' in the diagram below.

To move the appliance, open the oven door, and lift
the appliance by holding inside the top of the oven
compartment.

Once the packaging has been removed the appliance
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance as
damage may occur.

Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.

The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation in all poles. The cable
must have conductors of sufficiently high cross­sectional area to prevent overheating and
deterioration.

The recommended cross-section area is six square
millimetres (6.00mm

2

).

This is a type 'Y' appliance, which means it is free­standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one or
both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.

Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.

A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side of the
appliance is required to enable the appliance to be
moved into position.

Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.

It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.

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

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 between. However, always
stand back from the appliance when opening the
oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to
release.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

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.

1 grill pan
(311409401)

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.

To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

1 grill pan handle
(311468100)

Note:

If you require an additional handle for your grill pan,
this can be ordered from your local Service Force
Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.

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 represents 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 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
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°F to finish cooking and brown the
chips.

PRESERVING

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 a cold
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.

11

THE GRILL

CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

· To operate the grill, turn the control knob in either

direction to the required setting.

· The highest number represents the hottest

setting and the lowest number represents the
coolest setting.

NOTE:

THE GRILL 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 top 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.

12

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking.

HINTS AND TIPS

· 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.

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, using a conventional oven.

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 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

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

base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf
position.

· 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.

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.

SELECTING DEFROST

· 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

BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE,
ALWAYS ALLOW APPLIANCE TO COOL
DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT
THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

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 HANDLES

It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the handles.

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.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Regularly wipe
over the control panel, splashback, doors and
appliance sides using a soft cloth and liquid
detergent cleaning materials.

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.

CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN
FURNITURE

All removable parts, except the Stayclean oven
panels and grill pan handle can be washed in the
dishwasher.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE
APPLIANCE AS THIS MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

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 GRILL/OVEN
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

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.

· 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
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.
