GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance. If you require replacements of any of the items listed below please contact your local Service Force Service, quoting the relevant part number.
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE RATING PLATE CONDENSATION AND STEAM PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE COOKWARE When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the door(s) to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets.

Always ensure food in the oven has been covered before cooking if it is not possible to remove food immediately after cooking. B) TO SET THE TIMER TO SWITCH OFF ONLY i) Ensure the electricity supply is switched ON and that the correct time of day is displayed, e.g. 10.00am as Fig. 9. ii) Place food in the oven. iii) To set the length of cooking time, press the Selector Control button until the 'Cook Time' ( ) indicator neon is illuminated.
THE DUAL GRILL WARNING – Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used, or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. USING THE DUAL GRILL • To operate the grill turn the top oven/grill function selector to full grill. • Turn the top oven/grill function selector to centre section only.
HINTS AND TIPS • In order to become acquainted with the performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling. • 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. • Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food.
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, sweet or savoury flans or quiche. The top oven is also ideal for use as a 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 • All cooking should be carried out on shelf positions one and two using a cranked shelf. • 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 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 find you 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 fan 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. THINGS TO NOTE • The oven fan and internal oven light will come on.
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance 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 as damage will occur.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVENS 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. Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.
CLEANING THE TOP OVEN ROOF The grill element is hinged to make cleaning the oven roof easier. Switch off the appliance from the electricity supply before cleaning and ensure the oven is cold. 1. Remove the wirework side runners. 2. Undo the two screws which hold the grill element in place. 3. Gently pull the element downwards to allow access to the oven roof. Do not force the element downwards. 4. Clean the top of the oven with Cif cream cleaner and a sponge scourer.
TO REMOVE THE OUTER DOOR 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. 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.
7. Restore the electricity supply and reset the time of day. TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR The inner glass door is not removable. Clean using hot soapy water or Hob Brite and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives as they may damage the glass or seal. CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher. The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
