RATING PLATE
Record the model and serial numbers on the back cover of this instruction book, from the rating plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the oven door.
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install it.
Your cooker 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 cooker should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker 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. The cable must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to prevent overheating and deterioration.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the cooker, open the main oven door and lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the compartment.
This is a type Y appliance which means it is free-standing 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 all around the cooker is required to enable the cooker to be moved into position.
A spacer has been incorporated into the back of the appliance to ensure an air gap of 10mm is maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.
Note: Vapours from the oven vent may in time cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the cooker.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
INTRODUCTION
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended cross-section area.
This appliance complies with Radio Interference requirements of EEC Directive 87/308/EEC.
Page 9
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 front of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
REVERSIBLE OVEN DOOR
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified Service Engineer. See page 27 for your nearest Service Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will be made.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR COOKER
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
During this period an unpleasant 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.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker:
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 grill deflector
1 cranked shelf for grilling only
3 straight shelves for oven cooking
1 hob lifting tool
Scuffing of the Stayclean oven lining 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.

l
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 the coolest setting.
l
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.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should comply with the recommendations given above.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the hob to help to reduce scratches and maintain the efficiency of the hotplates.
l
Avoid placing fish kettles or large preserving pans across the two hotplates as this may cause damage.
l
Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer.
l
To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
l
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket
l
Never use an asbestos mat
l
Never line the spillage tray with aluminium

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 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.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first frying before finishing off with the second frying.
6. Frying temperatures Celsius Fahrenheit Scale (

C) Scale (oF)
150 300
First frying of potatoes 170 340
175 350 180 360
Second frying of potatoes 190 375 Frying chicken and fish 195 380
200 390
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 ready.
7. The scum should be removed as soon as
possible after setting, but marmalade should be allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel rising.

Page 16
l
To operate the dual grill, turn the grill control clockwise for full area grilling, and anti-clockwise for centre section grilling only. The grill neon will illuminate.
l
The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest the coolest setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING GRILLING.
If the grill door is accidentally closed during grilling, a safety device incorporated in the appliance will cut out the grill to indicate to the user there is a fault. This will occur after approximately 10 minutes.
The cranked shelf MUST only be used in the grill compartment, but a straight shelf from the oven may be used to provide alternative positions.
Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as the grill cleans itself.
The outer grill element may appear to glow slightly brighter than the inner element. This is quite normal.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To insert the handle, press the button on the handle
with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.
Ensure the handle is positively located.
When removing 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.
Ensure your hand is protected when removing the grill pan handle as the grill element can become very hot.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE DURING GRILLING.
16
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
16
THE DUAL GRILL
Page 17
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.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to tend the food during cooking, or the carrier shelf can be lifted away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant work surface.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
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.
l
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different heights of food.
l
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.
l
When toasting bread use the cranked shelf in position 2 with the grid in the high position.
l
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before cooking. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking.
l
The food should be turned over during cooking as required.

THINGS TO NOTE
l
The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will cycle 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.
18
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.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart on page 20. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

HINTS AND TIPS
l
Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards.
l
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.
l
When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time.
l
It is possible to cook bulk loads on up to three shelves at any one time.
l
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.
l
Do not place dishes or 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 can be placed on the oven base when more space is required.
l
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 20.
l
DO NOT use the cranked shelf from the grill in the oven.
AUTOMATIC COOKING
If you use the automatic timer to cook food in the oven be guided by the recommendations below.
* It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as
short a time as possible before automatic cooking.
* When cooking is complete do not leave food to
stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly if the food is not to be consumed immediately.
* Always ensure food in the oven is covered if it's
not possible to remove food immediately after cooking.

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 30 - 60 min. cooking time.

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.
l
Turn the oven temperature control to the defrost setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. 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 cycle ON and OFF periodically during defrosting to maintain a steady room temperature, inside the oven.
2. 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.
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.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process.
l
The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.
l
DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge.

ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE SUPPLY AND ALLOW THE COOKER TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, 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 RADIANT HOB AND HOTPLATE TRIMS
Clean the hob surface with liquid detergent or mildly abrasive cream cleaner, e.g. Flash. The hotplate trims are removable for cleaning, and can be washed in the dishwasher, but the hotplate spider supports should NOT be removed. For convenience, the hob is hinged and can be supported using the hob stay rod during cleaning. To raise the hob, insert the tool provided into the hole and lift the hob.
Secure in the raised position using the hob stay rod.
The spillage tray below the hotplates can be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or scourers on the outside of the cooker as some of the finishes are painted and damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD
CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR, GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID AND OVEN SHELVES
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, oven shelves and grill deflector may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning easier .
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL/OVEN COMPARTMENTS
The sides, top and back of the main fan oven are coated with a special Stayclean coating. The Stayclean coating should not be cleaned manually.
The vitreous enamel fan oven base, interior oven door and grill compartment 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.
For advice on how to keep the Stayclean coating in good condition see 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'.

CARE OF 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.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Manual cleaning of Stayclean Surfaces IS NOT recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays or abrasives of any kind are used.
l
Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surface may occur in time. This does not affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
l
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.
l
Follow the recommendations below to keep oven soilage to a minimum.
l
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.
l
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.
l
It is NOT necessary to add water to the 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.
l
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.
