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.
INSTALLATION
If your appliance has been damaged in transit, contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install it.
Your appliance 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 appliance should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance 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 in all poles. The cable must have conductors of sufficiently high cross- sectional area to prevent overheating and deterioration.
The recommended
The cable must be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the appliance, open the main oven door, and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the compartment.
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.
Ensure that the appliance is standing level.
Side walls which are above hob level should be protected by heat resistant
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the appliance is required to enable the appliance 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.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.
Air gap
7
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 appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 ??? 15 minutes at 220oC 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 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.
OVEN INDICATOR NEON
The light will indicate whether the oven is switched on, the neon also indicates when the set temperature has been reached. The neon will turn on and off during use to show that temperature is being maintained.

THE CERAMIC HOB
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK
BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE
USING THE HOB
???For single hotplates, turn the control knob in either direction to vary the heat setting.
???The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting. Chose 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 be approximately the same size as the cooking area, a base diameter of up to 225mm (9???) may be used on a 180mm (7???) heated area.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to remove edges and take off any deposits left from manufacture.
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
NOTE:
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being used. This is due to a safety device which prevents the glass from overheating. Some switching ON and OFF when cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal, causes no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.
Excessive switching may however be caused by the use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which is smaller than the heated area. If excessive switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.
HINTS AND TIPS
???Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the heated areas. This will reduce the risk of scratches and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn on.
???Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings.
???Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not be used.
???To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
???DO NOT place foil and plastic vessels on the hot surface of the ceramic hob and DO NOT use the surface for storage purposes.
10
???Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.
???Never use an asbestos mat.
???Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan.
???Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning.
???Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to keep the hob looking like new.
???If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g. jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the hob before it sets and becomes hard otherwise damage to the hob will occur.
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 the appliance 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
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
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 at setting point.
7.The scum should be removed as soon as possible after setting point has been reached. Marmalade should be allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel rising.
11
THE GRILL
CAUTION ??? ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
SELECTING THE GRILL
???To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the grill control in either direction.
???The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting.
???Setting 5 represents the grill on Full.
At lower settings the grill may turn on and off over time and you may prefer to use these settings for keeping food warm. The food will however continue to cook gently if the grill is used for this purpose.
THINGS TO NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.
DO NOT LEAVE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED
WHEN GRILL IS IN USE.
ALWAYS USE THE GRILL CONTROL TO TURN
OFF THE GRILL
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 insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle 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 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 control panel trim and grill element can become very hot.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE
DURING GRILLING.
12
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 attend to food during cooking.
HINTS AND TIPS
???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 foods.
???Place food on the grill pan grid or directly onto the grill pan base.
???Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.
???When toasting bread use the shelf in position 1 with the grid in the high position and placing the bread in the centre of the grid.
???Preheat the grill on a full setting for a five minutes before cooking. Adjust the shelf as necessary during cooking.
???The food should be turned over during cooking as required.
GRILLING CHART
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.
13
THE MAIN FAN OVEN
USES OF THE 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, souffl??s 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 temperature recommended in the chart on page 16. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20C?? - 25??C for your own recipes, using a conventional oven.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
???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.
14
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
HINTS AND TIPS
???Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards.
???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.
???When batch baking one type of food e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time.
???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.
???DO NOT place 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.
???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 16.

INTERNAL TEMPERATURES ???
Rare :
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 20 ??? 30 min. cooking time.
17
DEFROST FEATURE
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.
SELECTING DEFROST
???Turn the main oven temperature control to the defrost setting.
???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 turn ON and OFF periodically during defrosting to maintain a steady room temperature, inside the oven.
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/2??lb 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/4??lb 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
???Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process.
???The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.
???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.

CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH AND
ALLOW THE APPLIANCE TO COOL
BEFORE CLEANING.
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.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to prevent soilage being burnt on.
Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the cleaning agents recommended.
DAILY CLEANING
Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off.
1.Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre of each area to be cleaned.
2.Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad made specially for
3.Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:
a)Cif Cream Cleaner
b)Baking Soda
TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS
1.
It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for several minutes.
2.Use a plastic pad specially for
TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE
We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent damage.
1.Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
2.Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle of 30?? to remove as much soilage as possible.
3.Use
19
TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR
WHITE AND SILVER MARKS
These marks sometimes give the impression of being in or underneath the hob glass. They can almost always be removed provided they have not become excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions under ???To Remove more Stubborn Marks???, on page 19.
If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part water to three parts Cream of Tarter and leave on the discoloured areas overnight. The marks should be easily removable the next day provided they have not been excessively burnt on. The paste should be thoroughly washed off afterwards.
HINTS AND TIPS
TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:
???Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins.
???Ensure saucepans are large enough to accommodate food to avoid boil overs.
???If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
???Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent on the hob surface which will burn and discolour the next time the hob is used.
???Avoid the use of:
???Household detergents and bleaches.
???Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not described as suitable for
???Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.
???Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and oven pads.
???Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
???Any of the above products may cause damage to the hob.
???It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products. The chemicals in them may react with each other with hazardous results.
???SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE
SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
???Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. 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 liquid detergent.
To prevent streaking on stainless steel models finish with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the stainless steel finish must be wiped off immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and should be avoided as they may dull the surface finish.
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 GRILL AND OVEN
FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning easier.
20
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL/OVEN
COMPARTMENTS
The sides, and back panel of the main oven are coated with special Stayclean linings.
The vitreous enamel main oven, interior main 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 the Stayclean linings and must not come into contact with elements as this may cause damage.
For advice on how to keep the Stayclean linings 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
???Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surfaces IS NOT recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used.
???Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
???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
???Follow the recommendations below to keep oven soilage to a minimum.
???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.
???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.
???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.
???Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the covering for the last
21
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS
To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following:
???Household detergents and bleaches
???Impregnated pads unsuitable for non- stick saucepans
???Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
???Chemical oven pads or aerosols
???Rust removers
???Bath/Sink stain removers
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 cleaner 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 dried before attempting to replace the outer door.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS
1.Holding the oven 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.
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.
TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR
PANEL
Clean the inner door glass panel using a soft cloth and hot water to which a little washing up liquid 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.
