INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing a British built appliance by Belling. Moving the cooker Do not attempt to move the cooker by pulling on the doors or handles. Open the oven or grill door and grasp the frame of the cooker, taking care that the door does not shut on your fingers. We hope that the following information will help you to quickly familiarise yourself with the features of the appliance, and to use it successfully and safely.
INTRODUCTION The cooling fan from children. When the top oven and grill are in use, you will hear the cooling fan come on. This keeps the fascia, control knobs and components cool during cooking. The cooling fan may also operate when the main oven is used. Electrical connection Please refer to installation instructions for electrical connection. In your own interest, and that of safety, make sure that the installation is carried out by a competent person.
BE SAFE - NOT SORRY When you are cooking, keep children away from the vicinity of the appliance. • Switch off the electricity supply before replacing the oven light bulb, to avoid the risk of electric shock. This product is designed as a domestic cooking appliance for the preparation and cooking of domestic food products, and should not be used for any other purpose. • Do not use aluminium foil to cover the grill pan, or put items wrapped in foil under the grill, as this creates a fire hazard.
USING THE HOB Warning: Do not use the ceramic hob if the glass surface is cracked, as electrical parts are immediately beneath. Switch off the appliance at the supply to prevent electric shock and contact your supplier. The hot hob light The hob light comes on when one of the rings is switched on, and will stay on for a while after the last ring is switched off, to indicate that the hob glass may still be warm.
USING THE HOB Using the hotplate • • • Commercial simmering aids should not be used as they create excessive temperatures that can damage the surface and may cause a hazard. Be careful when cooking foods in salted water, or foods containing large amounts of sugar, syrup or jam - if they are spilt onto hot areas of the hob they may damage it. • Do not place aluminium foil or plastic utensils on the ceramic glass, as they may melt and damage the surface.
USING THE HOB To save energy Choice of pans • Always position pans centrally over the heating area. • Put lids on saucepans and only heat the amount of liquid you need. The choice of cookware is important if you are to achieve maximum benefit from cooking with a ceramic hob. • When liquids boil, reduce the control setting to maintain a simmer. • Consider the use of a pressure cooker for the cooking of a complete meal. • Vegetables will cook quicker if chopped in smaller pieces.
USING THE HOB Type and size of pan • • • • • Cast iron, stainless steel, or enamelled steel pans are all suitable for use on ceramic glass hobs. Aluminium pans will give good cooking results but care must be taken in their use. If they are slid across the surface of the hob they tend to leave visible marks which can be difficult to remove. Certain makes / brands of pressure cookers may not be suitable for use on ceramic hobs - they do not come to pressure.
OVEN & GRILL FUNCTIONS Function Base Heat Only Top Heat Only Conventional Oven Intensive Bake (Pizza Setting) Fanned Grill Fanned Oven Defrost Dual Grill Single Grill Base Heat with Fan Recommended Uses Used to finish off the bases of food following cooking using the conventional or fanned modes. The base heat can be used to provide additional browning for pizzas, pies and quiche. Use this function towards the end of cooking.
USING THE GRILLS Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used, young children should be kept away. Detachable grill pan handle Using the grills This appliance has a grill in both oven cavities. The top oven grill is a fully variable dual element grill. The main oven features variable grilling - with a single element conventional grill, and a fanned grill function. Follow the instructions given on the next page when operating these grills.
USING THE GRILLS Grilling in the top oven Using the top oven grill Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used, young children should be kept away. For grilling smaller quantities of food the (single element) economy grill can be utilised. This grill function can be controlled between settings 1 and 8. The top oven grill is a fully variable dual element grill. For grilling larger quantities the (dual element) full grill utilised.
USING THE GRILLS Grilling in the main oven Fanned grill Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used young children should be kept away. The door must be closed when the fanned grill is used. When opening the door, take care to avoid skin contact with any steam which may escape from the cooking. The grill / fanned grill settings use the inner element only. (i) Turn the selector control knob to the fan grill setting.
USING THE TOP OVEN When you are cooking keep children away from the vicinity of the oven. The cooling fan When the top oven is switched on, you will hear the cooling fan come on - this keeps the fascia and control knobs of the appliance cool during cooking. The fan will continue to operate for a period after the oven control has been switched off. Caution: The top element gets extremely hot when in use, so take extra care to avoid touching it.
USING THE TOP OVEN Shelf positions There are 2 shelf positions which are counted from the bottom of the oven upwards, so shelf position 1 is the lowest. When cooking frozen or chilled food, use the highest possible shelf position, while allowing some clearance between the food and the top element. The oven shelf must be positioned with the upstand at the rear of the oven and facing up.
Using the Top Oven Top oven baking guide Cooking temperatures The temperature settings and time given in the Baking Guides are based on dishes made with block margarine. If soft tub margarine is used, it may be necessary to reduce the temperature setting. If a recipe gives a different temperature setting to that shown in the guide, the recipe instruction should be followed. Cooking times These times are based on cooking in a preheated oven.
USING THE MULTI-FUNCTION MAIN OVEN Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the oven is used, young children should be kept away. To turn on the main oven Step 1 - Select the function Turn the selector control knob in either direction, until the function you require is selected. The main oven is a multi-function oven, and may be used as a conventional oven or a fanned oven. It may also be used as a grill, or with one of the other oven functions.
USING THE MAIN OVEN Oven cooking Preheating (conventional mode) Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the appliance is in use - keep children away from the vicinity of the oven. When using the conventional mode to cook sensitive items such as scouffle’s and Yorkshire puddings or, when cooking bread, we recommend that the oven is pre-heated until the neon switches off for the first time. For any other types of cooking, a pre-heat is not required.
USING THE MAIN OVEN Fan oven Base heat only (i) Turn the selector control knob to the fan oven symbol. (i) Turn the selector control knob to the base heat symbol. (ii) Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature. (ii) Turn the temperature control knob to the required temperature. The fan oven comes on when the oven is switched on and circulates the air around the oven to give a fairly even temperature throughout the oven.
USING THE MAIN OVEN Cooking with a fanned oven Notes: As this is a high efficiency oven, you may notice the emission of steam from the oven when the door is opened. Please take care when opening the door. When 2 or more shelves are being used, it may be necessary to increase the cooking time slightly. Because the 2 oven shelves are wider than in many ovens, it is possible to cook 2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria sandwiches or 2 casseroles.
USING THE MAIN OVEN To help the air circulate freely • Position the shelves evenly within the oven and maintain a clearance from the oven roof and base. • If more than one cooking dish or baking tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a gap of at least 25mm between the items themselves and the oven interior. • Allow enough space between shelves for food that will rise during cooking. • Main oven baking guide Cooking times These times are based on cooking in a preheated oven.
MAIN OVEN CONVERSION GUIDE Note: this is a high efficiency oven, therefore some adjustment will have to be made to conventional cooking temperatures when using the fanned oven. The table below shows conventional cooking temperatures, fanned oven temperatures and gas marks. For optimum results, conventional temperatures need to be converted to fanned temperatures. For example, an item which would normally cook at a conventional temperature of 180 ˚C, will now cook at the fanned temperature of 160˚C.

USING THE MAIN OVEN Cooling and defrosting in the main oven • To cool foods after cooking prior to refrigerating or freezing, turn the oven control to the defrost position, and open the door. Place meat and poultry on a trivet in a meat tin, to catch the juices from the defrosting process. To defrost frozen foods, turn the oven control to the defrost position, place the food in the centre of the oven and close the door.
USING THE OVENS Roasting guide Notes: The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate, because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of the bone. • When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing. • For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time.
USING THE OVENS Traditional fruit cakes Roast turkey It should be remembered that ovens can vary over time, therefore cooking times can vary, making it difficult to be precise when baking fruit cakes. Roasting turkey perfectly can prove difficult, as you are cooking two different types of meat - the delicate light breast meat, which must not be allowed to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which takes longer to cook. It is necessary therefore, to test the cake before removal from the oven.
USING THE OVENS Automatic cooking Do not The automatic cooking facility is controlled by the programmer (see ‘Programmer / Clock’ section) and allows complete meals or individual dishes to be cooked while you are out of the house, to be ready for when you return. The ‘READY TIME’ should be set as close as possible to, or just after, your anticipated return, so food is not left standing in a warm oven. • Warm food should never be placed in the oven if there is a delay period.
USING THE OVENS Important: Food is more susceptible to the growth of food poisoning organisms in warm conditions. If the weather is hot, either take care to ensure that food is not left standing in a warm oven, or avoid using the automatic cooking facility. Hints for automatic cooking 27 • Food is placed in a cold oven so you will need to add about 10 - 15 minutes onto the cooking time to allow for the oven to reach the selected temperature.
PROGRAMMER / CLOCK Automatic cooking is only available in the main oven. The programmer buttons down - reduce up - increase h The ‘function’ button in the centre is used for setting the minute minder and setting up the automatic cooking.
