GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COOKER THE CONTROL PANEL A B D F C FEATURES A B C D E F - Timer Main Oven Temperature Control Main Oven Indicator Neon Top Oven / Grill Control Top Oven / Grill Indicator Neon Hotplate Controls 11
THE TIMER 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 cooker 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.
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? To adjust turn the selector knob 2 Is the clock showing the to 'manual' then turn to 'Time correct 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'.
THE CERAMIC HOB CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE COOKER IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE COOKER IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE. USING THE HOB l Turn the control knob in either direction to vary the heat setting. The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest the coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the quantity and type of food to be cooked.
l To prolong the life of hotplates:- l Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket. l Never use an asbestos mat. l Never leave the hotplates ON when not l l 5. Double frying chips Ensure that hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning. 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.
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 Ensure the handle is positively located. l l l To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the top oven/grill control clockwise so that '0' on the control knob lines up with setting 1,2 or 3. Setting 3 represents the hottest setting. At settings 1 and 2 the grill may turn on and off over time. You may prefer to use setting 1 for keeping food warm.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.
THE TOP OVEN 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.
HINTS AND TIPS l l l l Most cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners. 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. Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.
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.
HINTS AND TIPS l l l l l l Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves 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.

DEFROSTING 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. 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.
CARE AND CLEANING BEFORE CLEANING THE COOKER, ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE COOKER DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the cleaning agents below may be used temporarily: a) Jif Cream Cleaner b) Baking Soda CLEANING MATERIALS TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. 1.
HINTS AND TIPS TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE: l l l l l Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins. 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 doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent. Ensure saucepans are large enough to accommodate food to avoid boil overs.
The vitreous enamel in the grill / top oven compartment and on the main 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.
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.
