BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The timer must be set to manual operation before the Main oven can be operated. This must be done whenever the appliance is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure. For instructions on how to set the timer see page 10.

The Top Oven and the Dual Grill are not controlled by the electronic timer.

RATING PLATE

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

PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Wipe over the base of the ovens with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the grill and oven furniture before use.

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 and odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the oven doors 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 occurring, regularly wipe away condensation and any soilage from the appliance surfaces.

7

COOKWARE

Baking trays, 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. Advice on the effect of different materials and finishes of bakeware is given in ‘Hints and Tips’ in the appropriate oven section.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

Your appliance has a cooling fan fitted behind the controls to prevent them from overheating.

The cooling fan will come on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when either of the ovens are in use.

The cooling fan may turn on and off when the appliance is in use. This is quite normal.

The cooling fan may run on after the ovens or grill are switched off for a period of time to cool the appliance down. It may continue to switch on and off until the appliance is cool.

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance down before switching off at the wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.

NOTE

The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the ovens or grill have been used and at what temperature. It may not switch on at all at lower temperature settings nor run on where the grill or oven has only been used for a short period of time.

FAN SELECTOR INDICATOR NEON

The Fan Selector neon operates when the fan Selector button is pushed out.

The Selector neon will illuminate with all Top oven functions, except the conventional oven.

The neon will turn on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained.

POP IN POP OUT CONTROLS

These control knobs can remain flush with the control panel when not in use, or pushed and released to stand out from the panel for easy operation.

FAN SELECTOR BUTTON

The Top oven enables you to cook with the oven fan in operation or by conventional means. Push out the Fan Selector button for fan assisted cooking. Refer to the appropriate oven section for full instructions.

It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared food is well within its use by date and that home prepared food is fresh and of good quality.

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 has been covered before cooking if it is not possible to remove food immediately after cooking.

13

THE DUAL GRILL

WARNING - Accessible parts become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away.

USES OF THE GRILL

The grill is situated in the Top oven compartment. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill or the centre section only can be used. Use the centre section for economy purposes when cooking smaller quantities.

HOW TO USE THE DUAL GRILL

1.Open the Grill / Top Oven door.

2.Push and turn the grill / top oven control clockwise past the maximum oven temperature to the settings that control the grill.

3. The first three	settings control the full area at
¼ ( ), ½ (	)and full power (	). Set to
full power at first then turn down as necessary.
The fourth setting is for the centre section of the
grill only (	). This section	operates at full
power.

The grill door must be left open when grilling.

The grill pan must not be located in the shelf runners.

THINGS TO NOTE

The cooling fan for the controls will operate as soon as the grill control is turned. For more information on the operation of the cooling fan turn to page 8.

The outer section of the grill element may appear to glow brighter than the inner section. This is quite normal

We recommend you only use the grill pan on the shelf in positions 3 or 5.

If you use the grill pan in position 3 the shelf must be withdrawn before the pan can be located or removed.

Ensure the grill pan is properly located.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan has a removable handle.

To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot slightly upwards inserting the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.

Ensure the handle is properly located.

To remove 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.

Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handle.

Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

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.

The grill pan must not be located in the shelf runners.

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.

Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is withdrawn.

HINTS AND TIPS

Most foods should be placed on the grilling grid in the grill pan. This allows maximum circulation of air by raising the food out of fats and juices.

Adjust the grid and grill pan runner to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.

15

The grill pan grid is reversible. This is useful if you want to cook foods of varying thicknesses. As a general rule, bread for toasting should be placed on the grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan. Foods such as chicken pieces or chops may be grilled using the grilling grid in the low position.

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.

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

The food should be turned over during cooking as required.

The grill door must be left open when grilling. For convenience the grill door can be left ajar.

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

16

THE FAN ASSISTED TOP OVEN

USES OF THE FAN ASSISTED OVEN

The Top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is convenient for mid-week meals where smaller quantities or convenience foods are being cooked. It is important to refer to the top oven cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions and temperatures as these may differ from previous appliances you may have used.

HOW TO USE THE FAN ASSISTED OVEN

1.Push out and turn the Grill / Top oven temperature control clockwise to the required setting.

2.Push out the Fan Selector button.

THINGS TO NOTE

The Fan Selector neon will glow throughout cooking.

The top oven indicator neon will illuminate. It will turn on and off during cooking to show that the temperature is being maintained.

The cooling fan for the controls will operate after a time. See page 8 for more information on the operation of the cooling fan.

The oven light will illuminate.

Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

There are 5 shelf positions in the Top oven.

Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.

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.

HINTS AND TIPS

Use the Top oven when you want to warm plates. Use a setting of 80°C – 100°C on the oven temperature control.

You can use two shelves when using the fan assisted oven.

There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the grill element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.

Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray or dish to allow for maximum circulation.

Where a degree of evenness in baking is required, it may be necessary to interchange food during cooking.

Where a larger quantity of food is to be cooked we recommend you use the main oven.

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

The material and finish of the baking tray 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.

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

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

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