PREFACE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the top oven
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.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE

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. 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 discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces including
the vent at the rear of the hob.

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

The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill
or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled. If an automatic programme has been set the
cooling fan does not switch on until the cooktime
begins.
The cooling fan may operate after a time when the
fan oven is in use. This will depend on the
temperature setting and the length of time the oven
has been in use.

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.

When the oven has been set for automatic cooking
the neon will remain unlit until the cooktime begins.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, oven 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.

Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example

2.00 pm is shown as 1400.
In the following pages we explain how to set the

controls. Read through them a few times until you
are familiar with the procedure.

If the oven is switched off on the wall, or there is a
loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be
able to use the ovens. When you first switch the
electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.

TO SET THE TIME OF DAY

Turn the selector knob to 'Manual' then turn to 'Time
Setting'.

Set the correct time by turning and holding the
setting knob clockwise. Adjust the time by turning the
setting knob in either direction.

Turn the selector knob back to 'Manual'.

TO USE THE COUNTDOWN

Turn the selector knob to 'Countdown'. Turn the
setting knob clockwise until the display shows the
time you want. The bell symbol ( ) will be showing
and this will stay lit up during the time. Our diagram
shows the timer set to 5 minutes.
If you change your mind and want to cancel the time
you have set, simply turn the setting knob
anticlockwise. Then turn the selector to 'Manual'.

When you are using the 'Countdown' you can make
the clock show the time of day by turning the selector
knob to 'Manual'. The bell symbol will stay on to
remind you that the 'Countdown' is set. At the end of
the timed period an alarm will sound and the bell
symbol will go out.

Switch off the alarm by turning the selector knob to
'Time Setting'. Then turn to 'Manual' and the time of
day will show in the display.

Note:

You can use the countdown when an automatic
sequence has been set, as long as you remember
the following point.

1 Turn the selector knob to 'Automatic' as soon as

you have entered the timed period into the
display.

AUTOMATIC CONTROL

The automatic control can be used to control either
oven but you can only use the control for both ovens
at the same time if the cooking time is the same.

When you use the automatic controls for the first
time it's probably best to choose a time when you are
at home. That way you can check to make sure
you've set everything correctly and you'll feel much
more confident when you are away from home in the
future.

SETTING THE CONTROLS FOR
AUTOMATIC USE

This is very easy. All you have to do is work through
the steps below. The clock will work out the rest for
itself.

1 Is the electricity supply on?
2 Is the clock

showing the
correct time?

To adjust turn the selector knob
to 'Manual' then turn to 'Time
Setting'. Turn the setting knob in
either direction.

3 How long will
the food take
to cook?

Turn the selector knob to 'Cook
Time'. Then turn the setting
knob until the length of time you
want the food to cook shows in
the display. The maximum
cooking time is 10 hours. 'Auto'
will show in the display.

4 What time do
you want the
food to be
cooked by?

Turn the selector knob to 'End
Time'. Turn the setting knob until
the time the oven is to switch off
shows in the display. The
cookpot ( ) will go out.
The 'End Time' must not be
more than 23 hours 59 minutes
from the time of day. For
example if the time of day is

9.00 am the latest 'End Time' will
be 8.59 am the next day.

5 Set to
automatic.

Turn the selector knob to
'Automatic'.

6 Turn on the
oven control.

Turn the oven control to the
required setting.

The time shown on the right gives an example of
setting the automatic controls when the time is 9.00
am, the food is to be cooked for 2½ hours and the
food is needed at 6.00 pm (1800 hours).

The clock will work out what time the oven will switch
itself on and it will turn the oven off at the end. Once
the automatic sequence is finished there will be an
alarm to remind you that you need to set the oven for
manual operation. To do this turn the selector knob
to 'Manual'. Turn off the oven control.

If you change your mind and want to cancel a
programme that you have set simply turn to 'Time
Setting' and then to 'Manual'.

SELECTING THE HOB

USES OF THE HOB

The gas hob has three different burner sizes to suit
different types of cooking:

To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots
and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner
size used.

Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such
as chips.

Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.

Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods
such as soups and stews.

The largest pan which you should use on any burner
is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should
not measure less than 100mm (4")

TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS

The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark
system.

1. Push in and turn the control knob to the left to the
highest setting. This is shown by a large flame
symbol. Press the ignition button immediately.

2. When the burner has lit release the control and
adjust the setting as required.

Warning: if the ignition button is not
pressed immediately a build up of gas
may cause the flame to spread.

TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER

1. Turn the control knob to the off position. This is

shown by a large dot.

THINGS TO NOTE

If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner
turn all the hob controls off and make sure the
burner parts have been replaced correctly.
See page 21 for more information.

HEAT CONTROL

The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from
'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust
the heat by turning the control between the highest
and lowest settings. These are shown as a large
and a small flame symbol.

10

THE GAS HOB

Ensure the pan supports are correctly
fitted before using the hob.
See page 21.

When lighting any burner, ensure
that it is lit before you leave the
appliance.

When turning off a burner, ensure
the flame has gone out before
leaving the appliance.

HINTS AND TIPS

Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames
lick round the sides of the pan you are wasting
gas.

Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.
Do not use pans with very heavy handles which

cause the pan to tip.

Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable

than pans which are warped.

Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or

removable parts. The spillage should be wiped
up and the parts washed and carefully dried as
soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts
are cool enough to touch.

See page 21 for full cleaning instructions.

Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. Food

will heat up more quickly and there will be less
steam in the kitchen.

A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan

supports. If you use a round based Wok with a
collar support, the collar must be the open
wirework type otherwise the performance of the
burner will be affected.

11

Place pans on the centre of the
burners.

Position pans so the handles cannot
be accidentally knocked or overhang
the appliance.

Lift pans on and off the pan supports.
Do not slide them across the hob.

Take care to avoid burns and scalds
when reaching across the hotplate.

Take extra care when deep fat frying, do
not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a
pan unattended. If the pan catches fire,
leave it where it is and turn off all controls.
Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the
pan to smother the flames. Never put water
on the fire. Leave to cool for 30 minutes.

l

To operate the grill open the grill door and turn
the Top Oven/Grill control to the required setting.

l

The Top Oven/Grill neon will illuminate. It may
turn on and off during cooking.

l

At lower settings the grill may turn on and off over

time and you may prefer to use these settings for
keeping food warm.

THINGS TO NOTE

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING. IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED THE TOP
OVEN WILL OPERATE.

If the grill door is accidentally closed during
grilling, a safety device incorporated in the
appliance will cut out the grill.

The cooling fan will operate. For more details
about the cooling fan see page 5.

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.

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.

Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump
on the grill pan.

Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not
necessary to remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.

To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right
and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill
pan.

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

USES OF THE GRILL

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

SELECTING THE GRILL

12

THE GRILL

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking or the carrier shelf can be lifted
away from the appliance 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 height of the grilling grid and grill pan
runner position to allow for different thickness of
foods.

l

Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.

l

When toasting bread use the shelf in position 1
with the grid in the high position.

l

Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust
the heat setting and the shelf as necessary
during cooking.

l

The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.

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.

To operate the top oven turn the temperature

control to the required setting. Our diagram
shows the oven set to150°C. Close the oven
door.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is
in use. Only the outer part of the top oven
element in conjunction with the base element will
operate when using the top oven.

2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will then turn ON and OFF
showing that the oven temperature is being
maintained.

3. The cooling fan will operate. For more details
about the cooling fan see page 5.

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

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.

14

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 on one level and for small 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 a
temperature setting of 80° - 100°C on the top oven control dial.

SELECTING THE TOP OVEN

THE TOP OVEN

HINTS AND TIPS

l

Most cooking should be carried out using an
oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.

l

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.

l

Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.

l

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.

l

When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc.,
place the tins or baking trays centrally on the
shelf directly below the element.

l

DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly
onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage may occur.

l

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.

l

DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a
baking tray as this will increase base browning
of the food.

l

Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations on page 18.

l

For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.

15

l

Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. 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.

2. The interior oven light will come ON when the
main oven control is turned.

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.

USES OF THE MAIN FAN OVEN

The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven
and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. 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 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 18. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20° - 25°C for your own recipes.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

SELECTING THE MAIN OVEN

16

THE MAIN FAN OVEN

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.

lIt 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 base 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 cooked 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 see page 18.

17

The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature
by 10° C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

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.

ROASTING CHART

USES OF 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.

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 main oven temperature control to the
defrost setting.

l

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.

l

It may turn ON and OFF periodically during
defrosting to maintain steady room temperature.

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.

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, once it has cooled.

SELECTING DEFROST

20

DEFROSTING

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
should also be avoided to prevent damaging the
stainless steel painted finishes. See 'Cleaning the
Outside of the Appliance' on page 22.

CLEANING THE HOB

The hotplate

Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as
'Cif'. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes.
If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will
not light.

You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and
burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to
damage the spark electrodes.

If any food spills during cooking you can place the
pan on another burner to finish cooking. Then you
can remove the dirty parts and clean them before the
spill 'burns on'.

Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot
soapy water. You can remove any stubborn stains by
scouring with a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. If you
look after the burner crowns in this way they will stay
reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with
time.

Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal
marks on the pan supports. Clean the pan supports
regularly to remove the marks using a mild abrasive
like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn
marks you can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'.

After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them
thoroughly before you put them back.

When replacing hotplate burner parts

1. Crown to body
(Do not try to force the crown on to the body).
Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the
electrode. Check that the two longer location pegs sit
in the slots in the body. When the crown is in this
position let it fall freely on to the body. Check that the
crown can be moved slightly from side to side.

2. Cap to crown
Place cap centrally on the top of crown (enamel side
up). Move sideways and front to back to check the
cap is properly fitted.

3. Check for ignition
If a burner will not light then you need to check the
crown and cap positions.

21

CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE

DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, eg Hob

Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over
the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using
a soft cloth and hot soapy water.

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 handles and control knobs.
ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL
THE SURFACE FINISH. Care should be taken,
when cleaning, to ensure that all cleaning products
are wiped from the control knobs immediately.

CLEANING THE MEAT TIN, 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, meat tin 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.

COMPARTMENTS

The sides and back of the ovens are coated with
Stayclean enamel surfaces.

The Stayclean surfaces inside the ovens should not
be cleaned manually. See 'Care of Stayclean
Surfaces'.

The vitreous enamel in the grill compartment base
and the fan oven base can be cleaned using normal
oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care.
Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are
followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean
surfaces and must not come into contact with
the elements or the door seal as this may cause
damage.

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.

22

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL

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 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.

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.

CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS

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 may be used with care. 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 dry before attempting to replace the
outer door.

23

Please note that the
door glass on your
product may differ in
type and shape from
that shown in the
diagram.

To prevent damaging or weakening the

door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:

ll

Household detergents and bleaches

ll

Impregnated pads unsuitable for
non-stick saucepans

ll

Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

ll

Chemical oven pads or aerosols

ll

Rust removers

ll

Bath/Sink stain removers

TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS

1. Holding the door panel 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 door panel towards the
oven door, ensuring the screw location holes line
up.

3. Hold the panel 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
outer panel being in place.

TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR
PANELS

Clean the inner door glass panels using a soft cloth
and hot water to which a little washing up 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.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB

The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small
Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1.
(Available through Service Force Centres).

CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM
THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING
THE BULB.

Open door and remove the shelves to enable easy
access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat blade
screwdriver between the oven side and the glass
which covers the bulb.

Support the glass with your hand and prise out
sufficiently to release the glass cover. Unscrew the
bulb in an anticlockwise direction until it is possible to
remove the bulb with ease.

Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise direction
until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the flange is
pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the glass by
pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the bulb
assembly.

Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply
and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary.

24

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.

We strongly recommend that you carry out the
following checks on your appliance before calling a
Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a
simple one which you can solve yourself without the
expense of a service call.

automatic cooking. The light will illuminate
when the cook time begins.

* If you have had your appliance for several

months you may need to replace the light
bulb (see page 24).

The oven fan is noisy:

* Check that the oven is level.

* Check that bakeware and shelves are not

vibrating in contact with the back panel in
the oven.

The hob burners will not light.

* Ensure the burner parts have been placed
