BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE RATING PLATE To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces. For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall. This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable). The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.

HOW TO SET THE TIME OF DAY The oven has a 24 hour clock. When the electricity supply is first switched ON, the display will show 12.00 and the 'Time' indicator neon will flash as Fig. 1. Fig.1.
TO CANCEL THE COUNTDOWN If you change your mind and want to cancel the 'Countdown', press the Selector Control button until the 'Countdown' indicator neon flashes then depress the decrease control (-) until 0. 00 shows in the display as Fig. 5. The 'Countdown' indicator neon will continue to flash for a few seconds and then return to the time of day. 3. SETTING THE OVEN TIMER CONTROL The main oven only can be automatically timed. Fig.5.
B) TO SET THE TIMER TO SWITCH OFF ONLY i) ii) iii) iv) v) vi) Ensure the electricity supply is switched ON and that the correct time of day is displayed, e.g. 10.00am as Fig. 9. Place food in the oven. To set the length of cooking time, press the Selector Control button until the 'Cook Time' indicator neon is illuminated. Press the increase control ( + ) until the required length of cooking time is displayed, e.g. 2 hrs 15 mins as Fig. 10. Depress the decrease control ( - ) if necessary.
THE GAS HOB USING THE HOB The gas hob has three different burner sizes to suit different types of cooking: To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner size used. Larger burner (Rapid or triple crown where applicable) - use a large pan for food such as chips. Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking. Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods such as soups and stews. The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9").
In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not attempt to reignite the burner for at least 1 min. THINGS TO NOTE If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner turn all the hob controls off and make sure the burner parts have been replaced correctly. HINTS AND TIPS • • • Do not overfill pans or they will boil over. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip.
THE GRILL CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. USING THE GRILL The Grill on this appliance has been designed to heat up more quickly than conventional grill elements. It provides quick, direct heat and no preheating is necessary. • • • Turn the top oven/grill function selector to. Turn the temperature control knob to the right as far as it will go. This is the hottest setting.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking. Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing.
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 smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweets and savoury flans or quiche. The top oven is also ideal for use as warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use the lowest setting on the top oven temperature control.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • • • • • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the 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 MAIN OVEN USING THE MAIN 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 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., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are counted 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.

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. USING DEFROST FEATURE • • • Turn the main oven temperature control to the defrost setting. When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon may come ON.
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down before switching off at 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 and scourers should also be avoided. CLEANING THE APPLIANCE OUTSIDE OF THE Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.
CLEANING THE HOB Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not light. You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes. Clean the burner crowns and pan supports by soaking them in very hot soapy water. Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan supports.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND OVEN COMPARTMENTS The sides and back of the grill/top oven and main oven compartments are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned manually. The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill compartment base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
CLEANING THE DOOR(S) To prevent damaging or weakening 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 CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS 1. Open the oven door to gain access to the top of the oven door.
REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb. 1. Make sure the appliance is cool before replacing the bulb. 2. Open the door and remove the shelves and wirework runners. 3. Remove the glass cover by turning it to the left. 4. Unscrew the bulb by turning it to the left. 5. Fit a new bulb and then replace the glass bulb cover. 6.
