AUTOMATIC COOKING It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared food is well within its use by date and that home prepared food is fresh and of good quality.
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 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 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 properly 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 thicknesses. 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 TOP OVEN USES OF THE TOP OVEN The Top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. The Top oven is a conventional oven, i.e. without a fan. It is convenient where smaller quantities or convenience foods are being cooked. It is important to refer to the cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions and temperatures as these may differ from previous appliances you may have used. HOW TO USE THE TOP OVEN 1. Turn the Top Oven temperature control to the required setting.
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. 5 4 3 2 1 For the best results use one shelf in the Top oven. For the best results food should be placed in the centre of the oven. To increase top browning e.g. for au gratin dishes, the food should be placed towards the top of the oven. Similarly for foods which benefit from the base being browned, e.g.
TOP OVEN COOKING CHART Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.
THE FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN The Fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food, or for weekend or celebration meals. 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 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.
TO FIT THE FAN 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. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.
FAN 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.

DEFROST FEATURE USES OF DEFROST FEATURE This fan 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. Turn the Fan oven temperature control to Defrost setting.
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.
CLEANING THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS PANELS To prevent damaging or weakening of the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: • Household detergents and bleaches • Impregnated pads unsuitable for nonstick saucepans • Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads • Chemical oven pads or aerosols • Rust removers • Bath/Sink stain removers The outer oven door glass panels are removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS 1.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER DOOR 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. 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.
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 an 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 from the cavity. 5. To replace, ensure the side panel is assembled on to the wirework runner before hooking it back into the oven.
THE OVEN CLEANING CYCLE – BOTH OVENS 1. Remove oven shelves, wirework runners and bakeware from oven. 2. If cleaning the top oven, leave the grill deflector in place. 3. Turn the required oven temperature control to 220°C and allow the oven to run for an hour or so. THINGS TO NOTE • • • The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will then turn on and off showing that the oven temperature is being maintained.
• • • 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.
