PREFACE Dear Customer, Thank you for buying a Tricity Bendix cooker. With our 80 years experience in developing and manufacturing the very best in U.K. cookers, you can be assured that you have purchased a hard working, reliable, quality cooker. Tricity Bendix cookers comply with British Standard safety and performance requirements. They have been approved by BEAB (British Electrotechnical Approvals Board) and are covered by a 12 month parts and labour guarantee.
SAFETY THESE WARNINGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE INTERESTS OF YOUR SAFETY. ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THEM ALL BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE COOKER. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION This cooker is heavy and care must be taken when moving it. Ensure that all packaging, both inside and outside the cooker has been removed before the cooker is used. Do not try to move the cooker by pulling the door handles. Refer to installation instructions.
Ensure that all vents are left unobstructed to ensure ventilation of the oven. You must ensure that the grill control is in the 'OFF' position when the timer control has been set for automatic cooking. Ensure that the anti-tilt shelves are put in place correctly. Refer to instructions on pages 23 and 26. Never line any part of the cooker with aluminium foil. Do not allow heatproof cooking material, e.g. roasting bags, to come into contact with oven elements.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW GETTING THINGS READY WARNINGS: CHOICE OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION l l This cooker must be installed by a qualified electrician/competent person. Safety may be impaired if installation is not carried out in accordance with these instructions. l l This cooker must be earthed. Do not remove the screws from the earth tab extending from the oven mains terminal block (Fig. 6).
NOTE: It is good practice to: l l Fit an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker to your house wiring. Wire your appliance to the latest IEE regulations. PREPARING CABINET FOR FITTING OF OVEN l l l Make sure the cabinet is the correct size for the appliance to be fitted (Ref. Fig. 2). If the size is between 565-570mm, then the cabinet should be modified so that at the screw fixing points the recommended dimension of at least 560-565mm is maintained.

HOW TO FINISH UNPACKING l l l l Place packed cooker next to the cabinet in which it will be installed. Carefully score down from each end of the cable sheathing along the length of the bare earth wire (if a cut was made along the length of the live or neutral wires, it might cut into their sheathing) to the cuts already made. Remove the cooker packing except for bottom tray which should be left in position until the cooker is ready to be fitted into its cabinet.
l Lift cover and remove screw from cable clamp. See Fig. 5. l l Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of the outer insulation is inside the terminal block and that the wires are not taught but not so slack as to cause any fouling. See Fig. 6. Place fuse/ miniature circuit breaker in circuit and switch on at mains. CONNECTING TO A HOB OR COOKER POINT WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED.
FITTING INTO THE CABINET IMPORTANT: Ensure that the oven is switched off at the wall before any further work is carried out. l l l l l Using a tape measure establish the internal width of the cabinet. Refer to page 8 if greater than 565mm. Position the cooker in front of the cabinet. See Fig. 7. Take out all oven furniture before installation to reduce the weight you need to lift. The oven door should be taped up to keep it closed whilst lifting. Fig.

INTRODUCTION RATING PLATE COOKWARE Record the model and serial numbers of your cooker on the back cover of this instruction book. These numbers can be found on the lower front frame of the cooker upon opening the oven door. Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven. Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker. 1 grill pan 1 grill pan handle 1 grill pan grid 1 grill deflector 1 cranked shelf (for grilling and second oven cooking only) 2 straight shelves (for main oven cooking) Scuffing of the Stayclean oven lining by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks will disappear after the oven elements have been burnt off for the first time.

THE GRILL USES OF THE DUAL GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the whole area of the grill can be used or, for economy purposes the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL l l Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or anticlockwise for the centre section only. Ensure the second oven control is in the OFF position 'O'.
l Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats. HINTS AND TIPS l 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. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan base if preferred. l l l l l When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position.

THE SECOND OVEN USES OF THE SECOND OVEN The second 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 and savoury flans or quiche. The second oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 80° - 100°C on the second oven temperature control.
l l l l l l l 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 below the element. Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.
THE MAIN FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN 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. COOKING TEMPERATURES Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking.
TO FIT THE MAIN 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. Only use straight shelves in the main oven. l l Back of the oven It is recommended that when baking larger quantities, the shelf positions should be evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight increase in cooking time may be necessary.
OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

DEFROSTING USES OF 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. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 - 2 hours. A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours.
HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD Care must be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods:1. Always ensure food you purchase is of good quality and in prime condition. Shop at a reliable source and buy the 'freshest' looking package avoid shop-worn labels or produce covered in dust. 2.
CARE AND CLEANING BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE COOKER DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY The vitreous enamel oven base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards. CLEANING MATERIALS Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Flash Cream cleaner. DO NOT try to clean the aluminium foil which is inside the door. The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is damaged it will not work. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dry before attempting to replace the outer door glass. l l TO REPLACE THE OUTER 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. l 2.
REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB The type of bulb required is a 300C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1. (Available through Tricity Bendix service centres). CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE COOKER FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING THE BULB. Open door and remove the shelves to enable easy access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat blade screwdriver between the oven side and the glass which covers the bulb.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING? Before calling an Engineer please carry out the following checks, you may be able to solve the problem without the expense of an Engineer. The oven temperature is too high or low. * Check that the recommended temperatures are being used (see page 27). Be prepared to adjust up or down by 10°C to achieve the results you want. * Care should be taken if using an oven thermometer to check oven temperatures as they may be inaccurate.
