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 grilling or using thermal grill in the top compartment. The cooling fan may come on after a short time when the top or main oven are in use. The cooling fan may cycle on and off when the appliance is in use. This is quite normal. NOTE The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the ovens have been in use and what temperature.
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 11. If the control knob surround does not illuminate when the oven temperature control is turned, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.
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.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance. 1 grill pan 1 grill pan handle 1 grill pan grid 1 grill deflector 1 meat tin 2 shelves for grilling and Top oven cooking 2 shelves for main oven cooking The grill deflector sits above the grill element and prevents fat splashing onto the grill roof. The deflector may be easily removed for cleaning. Scuffing of the Stayclean panel/s by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit.
THE ELECTRONIC TIMER The electronic timer can indicate the time of day, operate as a minute minder and automatically time the Main oven. Cookpot Symbol Auto Symbol A Auto Symbol ( automatic cooking ) Bell Symbol ( minute minder ) Cookpot Symbol ( manual cooking ) Bell Symbol Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2pm is shown as 14.00.

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 full grill for cooking larger quantities of food. 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.
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 the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button. Ensure the handle is positively 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.
The grill pan grid is reversible. This is useful if you want to cook foods of varying thickness. 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.
GRILLING CHART The chart below gives recommended cooking times and shelf positions. Remember that these are a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste. Note Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.
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 appliance's 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.
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 both 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.
THE CONVENTIONAL TOP OVEN USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable for some cook chilled convenience foods and dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratin's, lasagne and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. For best results cook on one level. HOW TO USE THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN 1. Push in the Fan Selector button. 2.
HINTS AND TIPS 5 4 3 2 1 The middle shelf allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position. The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.
TOP OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by a further 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.
THERMAL GRILLING IN THE TOP OVEN USES OF THERMAL GRILLING Thermal grilling in the Top oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven fan operate together, circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and turn food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed.
THINGS TO NOTE Shelf position 3 is suitable for most foods. Setting is suitable for most thicker foods such as chicken quarters and pork chops. Setting is suitable for foods such as bacon. The control knob surround will illuminate. The top oven indicator neon will illuminate. It will turn on and off during cooking to show that the temperature is being maintained. The Selector indicator throughout cooking. neon will glow The oven fan will operate continually during thermal grilling.
Turn food over during cooking as necessary. Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc., are piping hot throughout before serving. Be prepared to make suitable adjustments to the grill setting during cooking to suit individual requirements. It may be necessary to turn down as required. If thermal grilling on more than one level, it may be necessary to interchange the food on the shelves during cooking.
TO DEFROST IN THE TOP OVEN USES OF DEFROST This function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. It is particularly suitable for defrosting delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc. HOW TO DEFROST 1. Press out the Fan Selector button. 2. The Dual grill / Top oven control should be in the Off '0' position.
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. 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 must always be taken when handling foods in the home.
THE MAIN FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature so it not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however you may 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.
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. HINTS AND TIPS Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards.
THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pies, quiches and flans.

The top and lower elements operate in conjunction with the oven fan. HOW TO USE PIZZA FUNCTION 1. Push out and turn the Selector to Pizza setting. 2. Push out and turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. THINGS TO NOTE The control surrounds will illuminate.
DEFROSTING IN THE MAIN OVEN USES OF DEFROST FEATURE This main oven function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. 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. HOW TO DEFROST 1. Push out and turn the Selector to Defrost setting. 2.
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. 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.
SPEEDCOOK FUNCTION USES OF SPEEDCOOK Speedcook is ideal for quick preheating of the oven before selecting an alternative cooking function. It can also be used for cooking chilled and frozen convenience foods without the need for preheating. COOKING TIMES Cooking times for convenience foods should be the same or slightly quicker than those stated on the packaging. This may vary depending on the dish and the quantity being cooked. HOW TO USE SPEEDCOOK 1. Push out and turn the Selector to Speedcook. 2.
HINTS AND TIPS Single level cooking using the middle shelf gives best results. Frozen and cook chilled foods can be cooked using Speedcook without the need for preheating. Use Speedcook for all types of frozen / cook chilled convenience foods to given even browning and crispness where crispness is required. The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning.
THERMAL GRILLING IN THE MAIN OVEN USES OF THERMAL GRILLING Thermal grilling in the main oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. The need to check and turn food is reduced. With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can thermal grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill.
THINGS TO NOTE The control surrounds will illuminate. The oven indicator neon will illuminate. It may turn on and off during cooking to ensure the temperature is maintained. The oven fan will operate continually during thermal grilling. The oven light will come on when the selector is set. The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. See page 7 for more details on the operation of the cooling fan.
Foods will cook more quickly the closer they are to the grill element and the higher the temperatures selected. Be prepared to adjust temperatures and shelf positions during cooking if necessary. Turn food over during cooking as necessary. Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc., are piping hot throughout before serving. A temperature range of 140°-220°C and shelf positions 9 and 10 are suitable for most foods.
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning the appliance always allow the cooling fan for the controls to cool the appliance down before switching off 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 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. Grill Door Trim 3. Holding the door glass securely in place with one hand remove the screws and washers with the other hand. The screws and washers retain the trim on the top of the grill door. Note the position of the trim on the door. 4.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER DOOR GLASS 1. Holding the door glass panel with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door. 2. Holding the door glass with your left hand, use your right hand to open the oven door. Bring the door gently towards the glass panel ensuring the screw location holes line up. 3. Place the trim in the correct position on the top of the grill door. 4.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES The roofs and sides of both ovens and the main oven back panel are coated with a Stayclean finish. They should not be cleaned manually. Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with elements or the door seal, as this may cause damage. During normal use the Stayclean coating will become splashed with fats and food residues. By running the oven without food, the Stayclean surfaces burn off any soilage.
HINTS AND TIPS Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time, but this will not affect their self cleaning properties. A good time to use the oven cleaning cycle is after the weekly roast. If you do a lot of roasting and very little baking you should follow the cleaning cycle every week. If you roast very little you will only need to follow the cleaning cycle every 2 - 3 weeks. Follow the recommendations below to keep soilage to a minimum.
TO REMOVE THE WIREWORK RUNNERS The wirework runners in both ovens can be removed for cleaning. 1. Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven. 2. Hold the wirework at the bottom, unclip from the cavity side and gently pull towards the centre of the oven. 3. Support the side panel at the bottom. 4. Unhook the runner and side panel at the top and remove them from the cavity. 5. To replace, ensure the side panel is assembled onto the wirework runner before hooking it back into the oven.
THE OVEN LIGHTS The oven light illuminates the main oven when the Selector is turned to . The top oven light illuminates when the oven temperature control is turned. REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB Isolate the appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb. The type of bulb required is a 300°C, 25 watt small Edison Screw. 1.
