INTRODUCTION

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the 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.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE

We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
15 minutes at 220
surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 – 10 minutes. During this period an
odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to
open a window for ventilation.

o

C to burn off any residue from their

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.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

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 NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator
neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon
does not operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls
to zero and reset following the instructions for the
required setting.

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

.

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.

THE TIMER

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

2.00pm 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 appliance 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 main oven. When you first switch the
electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.

Cookpot symbol

Bell symbol

TO SET THE TIME OF DAY

Turn the selector knob to ‘Manual’ then turn to ‘Clock’.
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 TIMER

Turn the selector knob to ‘Timer’. 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 timer 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 timer 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
'Clock'. Then turn to 'Manual' and the time of day will
show in the display.

Selector Setting knob

Note:

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

1. Turn the selector knob to ‘Auto’ as soon as you
have entered the timed period into the display.

AUTOMATIC CONTROL

You can only use the automatic control for the main
oven. 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?

3 How long

will the food
take to cook?

4 What time do

you want the
food to be
cooked by?

5 Set to

automatic.

6 Turn on the

oven control.

To adjust turn the selector knob
to ‘Manual’ then to ‘Clock’. Turn
the setting knob in either
direction.

Turn the selector knob to ‘Cook’.
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.

Turn the selector knob to ‘Stop’.
Turn the setting knob until the
time the oven is to switch off
shows in the display. The
cookpot ( ) will go out.
The ‘Stop’ 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 ‘Stop’ time will be

8.59 am the next day.

Turn the selector knob to ‘Auto’.

Turn the oven control to the
required temperature.

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 p.m. (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 ‘Clock’
and then to ‘Manual’.

THE GAS HOB

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").

Ensure the pan supports are correctly
fitted before using the hob.

TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER

1. Turn the control knob to the off position. This is
shown by a large dot.

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.

In the event of the burner flames being accidentally
extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least 1 min.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

· 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.

· 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 Wok with a collar
support, the collar must be the open wirework
type otherwise the performance of the burner will
be affected.

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.

THE DUAL GRILL

USES OF THE DUAL GRILL

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

The Dual Grill on this appliance has been designed to heat up more quickly than conventional grill elements. It
provides quick, direct heat and no preheating is necessary. It has a dual circuit facility 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

· To operate the grill turn the top oven/grill control

clockwise to the full power setting ( ), then
turn down as necessary.

The grill settings are as follows:-

· ( ) Full grill area at ¼ power.

· ( ) Centre grill area at full power.

· ( ) Full grill area at full power.

THINGS TO NOTE

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.

THE COOLING FAN WILL OPERATE IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE GRILL.

DO NOT LEAVE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED
WHEN GRILL IS IN USE.

ALWAYS USE THE GRILL CONTROL TO TURN
OFF THE GRILL

The top oven cannot be operated when the grill is in
use.

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.

Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as
the grill cleans itself.

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.

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

12

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.
