BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

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.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth
and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before
use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for
10 – 15 minutes at 220
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.

o

C to burn off any residue

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator
neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting 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.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of grill and oven furniture have
been supplied with the appliance:

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to
escape. However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the door(s) 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.
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.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, 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 CERAMIC HOB

Do not use the appliance if the ceramic
glass is damaged. If a fault or crack
becomes visible, disconnect the appliance
immediately from the electricity supply and
contact your local Service Force Centre.

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.

RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS

Only saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids
are recommended. The saucepan base should be
approximately the same size as the cooking area.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to
remove edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
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.

NOTE:

Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch
ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being
used. This is due to a safety device which prevents
the glass from overheating.

Some switching ON and OFF when cooking at high
temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal,
causes no damage to the hob and little delay in
cooking times.

Excessive switching may however be caused by the
use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which
is smaller than the heated area. If excessive
switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.

7

HINTS AND TIPS

· Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the

hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and
metal marks from saucepans with aluminium
bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off
providing they are not allowed to burn on.

· 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.

· Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered

with a saucepan.

· Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean

and dry before the start of cooking.

· Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to

keep the hob looking like new.

· If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.

jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the
hob before it sets and becomes hard
otherwise damage to the hob will occur.

8

THE GRILL

WARNING – Accessible parts may become
hot when the grill is in use. Keep children
away.

USING THE GRILL

· To operate the grill open the grill door and turn

the grill control in either direction.

· The highest number represents the hottest

setting and the lowest number represents the
coolest setting.

· 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

· Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

The grill door must be left open when
grilling.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan has a removable handle.

To insert the handle, press the button on the handle
with the thumb and pivot 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.

Protect your hands when removing the grill
pan handle.

Always remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.

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

9

HINTS AND TIPS

· 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.

· 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.

· 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 around the outer
edges or underneath the grid when grilling
meats.

· When toasting bread use the shelf in position 1

with the grid in the high position and placing the
bread in the centre of the grid.

· Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes

to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat
setting and the shelf position as necessary during
cooking.

· The food should be turned over during cooking

as required

THE MAIN FAN OVEN

The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger
quantities of food. 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 always preheat the oven first.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the
temperatures recommended in the cooking chart. 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.

USING THE FAN OVEN

· Turn the fan oven temperature control to the

required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

· The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and

OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.

· The oven fan will operate.

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.

11

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.

Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight adjustments
may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat. However, lower
temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints.

Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking time.

14

DEFROST FEATURE

This main 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.

USING DEFROST FEATURE

· Turn the main 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.

THINGS TO NOTE

· The oven fan will come on.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Place the frozen food in a single layer where

possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.

· 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.

· 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.

15

CARE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan
to cool the appliance 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
and scourers should also be avoided. Multi-surface
anti-bacterial cleaning products should not be used
on the ceramic hob or on the surrounding trims.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE

Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob

Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over
the control panel, doors and appliance sides using a
soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking
finish with a soft cloth.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish

must be wiped off immediately.

Do not attempt to remove any of the control
knobs from the appliance as this may cause
damage and is a safety hazard.

CLEANING THE CONTROL KNOBS AND
HANDLES

It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the control knobs and handles.
THE USE OF ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS
MAY DULL THE FINISH.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB

Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning.
It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to
prevent soilage being burnt on.
Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the
ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the
cleaning agents recommended.

16

DAILY CLEANING

Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If
soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much
easier to clean off.

1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre
of each area to be cleaned.

2. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad
made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub
vigorously until all marks are removed. This may
take a few minutes.

3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.

If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the
cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:

a) Cif Cream Cleaner
b) Baking Soda

TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS

1. Bar Keepers Friend may be used to clean off
more stubborn stains or to remove
discolourations.
It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for
several minutes.

2. Use a plastic pad specially for non-stick
saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal
of more stubborn soilage.

TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE

We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob
Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to
remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar
solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent
damage.

1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.

2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle
of 30° to remove as much soilage as possible.

3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off
as directed above.

TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR
WHITE AND SILVER MARKS

These marks sometimes give the impression of being
in or underneath the hob glass. They can almost
always be removed provided they have not become
excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions above
under ‘To Remove more Stubborn Marks’.
If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part
water to three parts Cream of Tarter and leave on the
discoloured areas overnight. The marks should be
easily removable the next day provided they have not
been excessively burnt on. The paste should be
thoroughly washed off afterwards.

17

HINTS AND TIPS

TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:

· Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the

cooking area are clean and dry before cooking
begins.

· Ensure saucepans are large enough to

accommodate food to avoid boil overs.

· If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they

occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.

· Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the

hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent
on the hob surface which will burn and discolour
the next time the hob is used.

· Avoid the use of:

· Household detergents and bleaches.

· Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not

described as suitable for non-stick saucepans.

· Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.

· Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and

oven pads.

· Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.

· Any of the above products may cause

damage to the hob.

· It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.

The chemicals in them may react with each other
with hazardous results.

· Soilage from sugar solutions must be

removed from the hob before the syrup has
set otherwise damage to the hob surface will
occur.

· Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the

hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.

CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN
FURNITURE

All removable parts, except the 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.

18

CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND
OVEN COMPARTMENTS

The sides and back of the main oven compartment
are coated with special Stayclean linings. They
should not be cleaned manually.
The vitreous enamel main oven base, interior main
oven door and grill compartment 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 come into
contact with elements or the door seal as
this may cause damage.

HINTS AND TIPS

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on
Stayclean surfaces.

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.

Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean
surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect
the Stayclean properties in any way.

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 over­browned.

CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS

To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:

· Household detergents and bleaches

· Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-

stick saucepans

· Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

· Chemical oven pads or aerosols

· Rust removers

· Bath/Sink stain removers

19

CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND
INNER DOOR GLASS

The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.

TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS

1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the
two cross head screws on the top of the oven
door.

2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive
screwdriver.

3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one
hand before removing the screws completely with
the other hand.

4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door
glass towards you, lift slightly to disengage the
locators from the two bottom brackets.

5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy
water or Hob Brite cleaner may be used. Do not
use Hob Brite on the Stainless Steel or painted
finishes. Do not try to clean the foil which is
inside the door. The foil is there to help keep the
door cool, if it is damaged it will not work. Ensure
that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried
before attempting to replace the outer door.

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 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. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven
door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.

3. Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert
the cross head screws into the location holes
with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to
ensure the glass is secure.

4. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive
screwdriver before closing the oven door.

Do not attempt to use the oven without the
glass being in place.

TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR
PANELS

Clean the inner glass door panels using a soft cloth
and hot water to which a little washing up liquid has
been added. If the inner panel is heavily soiled, Hob
Brite may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaning
materials on the door glass. Ensure that all parts are
well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to
replace the glass.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED

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.

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

The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X. See Fig.1.

To move the appliance, open the oven door, and lift
the appliance by holding inside the top of the
compartment. See Fig.2.

This is a type X 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.

Fig.2.

Air gap

Fig.3.

Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap. See Fig.3.

Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob. See Fig.4.

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