For a fixed handle, replace the screw and washers and ensure they are fully tightened up.
Using the Top Oven for Solarplus Grilling Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. Creda have developed a Solarplus high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used directly from cold without any pre-heat.
Operation when using the Top Oven for Grilling A GRILL SETTING CONTROL B TOP OVEN TEMPERATURE AND GRILL SELECTION CONTROL TIMER Step 1 Ensure that the timer is set to manual. Step 2 Place the grill pan runner/support in the correct position (see Grilling Guide). Locate the grill pan in the runner/support, position centrally under the grill element. Leave the door fully open. Step 3 Turn knob (B) clockwise to select grill function setting: Set to: Half Grill For Half Grill (Left hand side only).

Conventional Grilling (N230E) CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED. The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either the twin grill elements on together or the single left hand grill element only, depending upon which direction the control knob is rotated.
Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should be approx.

Step 2 Place the shelf in the correct position (see Oven Temperature Charts). Step 3 Select the required cooking temperature (100–220oC) using control (B) (see Top Oven Temperature Charts).
Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For “Oven Temperature Charts” later in book. Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.
Using the Main Oven for Other Functions Fan Only Fan Only Setting Defrosting frozen meat and poultry Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per lb.). Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven. However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a nonheating fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.
Using the Main Oven for Other Functions 90 “SLOW” Setting This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven. DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven lining and the plates which are being warmed. Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are: The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.

Cooking Results Not Satisfactory GRILL Uneven cooking front to back Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally below the grill element. Fat splattering Ensure that the grill pan is not lined with foil. Ensure that the grill setting control (A) is not set too high. If Solarplus grill – use anti-splash tray supplied under the food support. BAKING GENERAL Uneven rising of cakes Ensure that the oven shelves are level. Sinking of cakes The following may cause cakes to sink: 1.
Care and Cleaning Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off and the appliance is fully cold. 1. “CREDACLEAN” OVEN LINERS (E430E / N230E) (a) How "Credaclean" works. TOP OVEN SIDE LINERS The surfaces of the "Credaclean" oven liners are treated with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.
Care and Cleaning 3. CLEANING GRILL, TOP OVEN AND MAIN OVEN (a) Base & Rear of Top Oven and Base of Main Oven. Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For more stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad. GRILL PAN (b) Grill Pan, Meat Pans & Oven Shelves. BASE & REAR OVEN SHELVES MAIN OVEN BASE MEAT PAN To prevent stains from being burnt on to the grill pan, food support and rod shelf, always wash immediately after use in hot soapy water.
Care and Cleaning 4. OVEN DOORS CONTROL PANEL (a) Control Panel Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean, dry cloth. (b) Trims OVEN DOORS It is advisable to clean the trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the cooker. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a clean, soft cloth wrung out in hot water, or mild non abrasive cleaner.
Care and Cleaning Take particular care not to damage the inner surface of the door inner glass that is coated with a heat reflective layer. Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive powder, which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool pad. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.

Something Wrong? Before calling a Service Engineer, please check through the following lists. THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG. Problem Check Slight odour or small amount of smoke when grill / oven used first time This is normal and should cease after a short period. Nothing works. If you find that the timer display is blank, then it is likely that there is no electricity supply to your oven.
Problem Check Grilling is uneven Ensure that Grill pan has been positioned as stated in the Grilling section of this book. Oven does not cook evenly Check: (a) Temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the Oven Temperature Charts. (b) Oven utensils being used allow sufficient air flow around them. Oven temperatures too high or low Check temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the Oven Temperature Charts.
