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.

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.

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

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.

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

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 in the diagram below.

Air gap

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.

Page 9

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.

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 the wall and the rear of the appliance. 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.

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

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)

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.

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

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill or top oven are switched on and after a time when the main fan oven is in use. The operation of the cooling fan is temperature dependent in the case of the main oven and the cooling fan may not switch in at all at low temperature settings or where the main oven has only been used for a short time. The cooling fan may run on, after the control knobs have been switched off, until the appliance has cooled. Do not switch the appliance off at its power point until the fan has cooled the appliance down.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched on.

The neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will turn on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained.

If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and re-set following the instructions for the required setting.

1 grill pan grid (311419801)

1 straight shelf for grilling and top oven cooking

2 straight shelves for main oven cooking

Scuffing of the Stayclean panel/s by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks will disappear after the oven elements have been burnt off for the first time.

THE SEALED HOTPLATES

BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME

Turn the control knob to a medium/high setting and allow the hotplate to heat, uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5 minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates and makes it more resistant to normal use. A harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates.

· 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.

To check the flatness of the saucepan, place a ruler across the pan base, hold at eye level and look for light showing. There should be very little or no light visible between the ruler and the pan base.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the

hob to help reduce scratches and maintain the efficiency of the hotplates.

· Avoid the use of decorative covers as they can

cause condensation to form on the hotplates which may lead to deterioration.

· Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan

manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings.

· Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted

saucepans as they can lead to sticking and burning of food.

The size of the base of the saucepan should be the same or up to 2.5cm/1 inch larger than the hotplate. If the base is too small, energy will be wasted, boilovers will also be more difficult to deal with as spillage will fall directly onto the hotplate.

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.

· To prolong the life of the hotplates:

· Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.

· Never use an asbestos mat.

· Never leave the hotplates ON when not

covered with a saucepan.

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.

Page 13

THE DUAL GRILL

USES OF THE GRILL

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

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.

SELECTING THE GRILL

· Select the grill function for full grill.

· Select the grill function for centre section only.

· Turn the temperature control knob to the right as

far as it will go. This is the hottest setting.

· To use the grill at lower settings, turn the

temperature control knob so that 110°C or 150°C on the knob lines up with the off dot on the panel.

THINGS TO NOTE

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT FULLY OPEN DURING GRILLING.

· Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

· The top oven cannot be operated when the grill

is in use.

· The inner grill element may appear to glow

slightly brighter than the outer element. This is quite normal.

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.

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.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.

Page 14

HINTS AND TIPS

GRILLING CHART

· In order to become acquainted with the

performance of the Dual grill, it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling.

· 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.

· Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan

runner position to allow for different thicknesses of foods.

· Accompaniments such as tomatoes and

mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.

· Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes

before cooking. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking.

· The food should be turned over during cooking

as required.

· When using the centre section of the dual grill,

ensure food is positioned centrally on the grill pan grid in the grill pan.

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 times quoted above are given as a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste.

Page 15

THE TOP OVEN

USES OF THE TOP OVEN

The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche.

The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control.

SELECTING THE TOP OVEN

· Turn the top oven function selector to.

· Turn the top oven temperature control to the

required setting.

· The cooling fan will operate immediately with the

top oven. For more details on cooling fan operation see page 9.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is in use. If the grill and top oven controls are selected at the same time, only the top oven will operate.

2. The top 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 oven temperature is being maintained.

3. The cooling fan will operate immediately with the top oven. For more details about the cooling fan see page 9.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

The shelf 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.

4. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm. Never place dishes directly on the top oven base as becomes very hot and damage may occur.

Page 16

HINTS AND TIPS

· Most cooking should be carried out using an

oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.

· DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven

base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

· Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be

cooked in the main oven. However, they may be cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food.

· Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on

the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.

· There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)

between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings, etc.

· The material and finish of the baking trays 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.

· DO NOT use the grill pan as a baking tray as this

will increase base browning of the food.

· Because of the smaller cooking space, lower

temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations on pages 19 and 20.

· For economy leave the door open for the shortest

possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.

· When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc.,

place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf directly below the element.

Page 17

THE MAIN OVEN

USES OF THE FAN OVEN

The oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven, the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fanned 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 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 19. 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 fan oven temperature control to the

required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

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.

· The main 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 cooling fan for the controls may switch in

after a time. See page 9 for more information on the operation of the cooling fan.

Page 18

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.

· 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, see pages 19 and 20.

· 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 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.

DEFROST FEATURE

USES OF DEFROST FEATURE

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 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.

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 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 should also be avoided.

CLEANING THE HANDLES

It is strongly recommended that only 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. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and appliance sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.

CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES AND HOTPLATE TRIMS

In order to maintain the appearance of your appliance's sealed hotplates and trims, you are advised to use the recommended cleaning agents daily. If you do not allow spillages to burn on they will be much easier to clean off.

THINGS TO NOTE

The red spot in the centre of the hotplates may be removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is not a fault and does not affect the performance of the hotplates.

FOR NORMAL SOILAGE

Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for a few minutes to thoroughly dry.

FOR HEAVY SOILAGE

Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream cleaner e.g. ‘Cif’ or a powder cleaner e.g. ‘Ajax’ on the hotplate and trims. Follow the circular grooved pattern on the hotplate when cleaning. Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly. Dry as for normal soilage.

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

For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with ‘Ajax’ powder cleaner, ‘Cif’ or cream cleaner or a ‘Brillo’ pad. You may have to rub hard for several minutes.

Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly with a damp cloth. Switch to a low or medium setting for a few minutes until the hotplate is thoroughly dry.

CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS

The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel cleaner, e.g. ‘Shiny Sinks’ will help maintain a bright appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as ‘Bar Keepers Friend’ may be used regularly.

CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL

Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for nonstick saucepans with ‘Cif’ or cream cleaner.

Page 23

AFTER CLEANING

CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES

To maintain the appearance of the hotplates occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or commercial restorative agent.

To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF. Pour a very small amount of oil onto kitchen paper, apply the paper to the hotplate and wipe off any excess oil. Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.

To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating of ‘4 Hob’ or use a ‘Minky’ Hotplate Cleaning Cloth following the manufacturers instructions.

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.

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL COMPARTMENTS

The sides, top and back of the grill/top oven and main oven are coated with a special Stayclean coating. The Stayclean coating should not be cleaned manually.

The vitreous enamel fan oven base and grill compartment 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 with elements as this may cause damage.

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.

HINTS AND TIPS

· Manual cleaning of Stayclean Surfaces IS NOT

recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays or abrasives of any kind are used.

· 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 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.

· 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.
