INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the
back cover of this instruction book, from the rating
plate. This is situated on the base of the appliance
on the front right hand side.
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 cooker
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the cooker, open the oven door and lift the
cooker by holding inside the top of the compartment.
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.
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.
This is a type X 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 at either side of the cooker
is required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position. It is recommended that proprietary trims are
fitted to protect the worktops of either side of the
appliance. These are available from most DIY stores.
Two spacers have 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.
8
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.
FITTING THE STABILITY BRACKET
It is recommended that a stability bracket supplied
with the appliance be fitted during installation.
The instructions are as follows.
1. Place the appliance in its intended position and
level appliance.
2. Mark off 280mm from the left hand side at the
base of the appliance as shown in dimension 'A',
Fig 1. This is the centre line of the fixing bracket.
3. Draw a line across the front edge of the feet (see
Fig 1) and remove appliance from its position.
Mark off dimension 'B' (see Fig 1) back from this
line on the centre line of the bracket to locate the
front edge of the lower bracket. Fix lower bracket
(with two fixing holes) to the floor then measure
the height from floor level to engagement edge on
back of appliance, dimension 'C' of Fig. 2.
4. Assemble upper bracket to lower bracket so that
underside of bracket is dimension 'C' +3mm
above floor level. (see Fig. 2).
Reposition appliance and check that top bracket
engages into appliance back, as shown in Fig. 2.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue 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.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are 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.
For your safety, wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
OVEN / GRILL INDICATOR NEON
This light indicates whether the oven or the grill are
switched on. The neon also indicates when the set
temperature is being maintained. The neon will turn
on and off during cooking. In the case of the oven the
neon indicates when the correct temperature has
been reached.

B
C
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.
l
To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in
either direction to vary the heat setting.
l
The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest 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.
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
l
Avoid the use of decorative covers as they
can cause condensation to form on the
hotplates which may lead to deterioration.
l
Follow any guidelines provided by the
saucepan manufacturer, particularly those
relating to recommended heat settings.
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.
l
Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans as they can lead to sticking and
burning of food.
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

DEEP FAT FRYING
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:
6. Frying temperatures
CelsiusFahrenheit
Scale (
o
C) Scale (oF)
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.

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.
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.
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.
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. CHILDREN SHOULD BE
KEPT AWAY.
SELECTING THE GRILL
l
To operate the grill, turn the oven/grill control
clockwise until the grill setting lines up with
oven/grill on control panel.
l
Close the oven door.
l
The oven/grill indicator neon will light.
l
The oven/grill indicator neon will turn on and off
periodically during grilling.
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.
THINGS TO NOTE
The grill door must be closed during grilling. Grilling
with the door open could cause areas of the oven
and surrounding furniture to become excessively hot,
as well as reducing the performance, efficiency and
economy of the grill.
The grill cannot be used at the same time as the
oven.
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 inserting
and removing the grill pan handle as the control
panel trim and grill element can become very
hot.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE
DURING GRILLING.
13
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.
l
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed around the outer
edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats.
l
When toasting bread use the shelf in position 5
with the grid in the high position and placing the
bread in the centre of the grid.
l
Preheat the grill on full setting for five minutes
before cooking. Adjust the shelf as necessary
during cooking.
l
The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.
GRILLING CHART
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 shelf position to
allow for different heights of food.
l
Place food on the grill pan grid or directly
onto grill pan base.
Shelf positions are counted from the bottom
upwards.
The times quoted above are given as a guide and
should be adjusted to suit personal taste.

THE FAN 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 17. 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.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
All cooking should be carried out using an ovenshelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
l
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray onthe shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven baseand to help reduce cleaning.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
l
Turn the oven/grill control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
l
The oven/grill indicator light 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.
l
The oven fan will operate continually during
cooking.
15
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.
HINTS AND TIPS
l
Arrange the shelves in the required position
before switching the oven ON. Shelves are
numbered from the bottom upwards.
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, see page 17.
l
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 may be
placed on the oven base when more space is
required.
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 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.

DEFROST FEATURE
USES OF DEFROST FEATURE
This function enables you to defrost most foods
faster than some conventional methods as the oven
fan circulates air around the food. 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.
SELECTING DEFROST
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.
l
Turn the oven/grill control to defrost setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
l
When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon
may occasionally 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 steady room temperature
inside the oven.
l
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.
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.

CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE
ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY 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 SEALED HOTPLATES
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS
In order to maintain the appearance of your cooker'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 hotplate may be
removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is
quite normal and does not effect the performance of
the hotplate.
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for nonstick saucepans with 'Jif' cream cleaner.
AFTER CLEANING
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 OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER
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 door and
cooker sides using a soft cloth and washing up liquid.
.
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. 'Jif' 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.
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with
'Ajax' powder cleaner, 'Jif' 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.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE
PANEL
AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A
SAFETY HAZARD
20
CLEANING THE 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 and oven shelves 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 OVEN
The oven back panel is coated with a special Stay
Clean finish.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the oven
back panel and must not come into contact with
elements as this may cause damage.
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 f7at 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.
For advice on how to keep the Stayclean finish in
good condition see 'Care of Stayclean Surface'.
The vitreous enamel oven base and sides 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.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACE
The Stayclean surface destroys 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 the Stayclean back panel is
NOT recommended. Damage will occur if oven
sprays or abrasives of any kind are used.
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.
l
Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean finish 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.

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 to
clean inside the inner glass 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.
TO CLEAN INSIDE THE INNER GLASS DOOR
The inner glass door is not removable. Clean using
hot soapy water or Hob Brite and a soft cloth. Take
care NOT to use abrasives as they may damage the
glass or seal.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy
water or Hob Brite may be used. DO NOT try to
clean the aluminium 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 dry before attempting
to replace the outer door.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS
1. Holding the oven door 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.
