GETTING TO KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE THE CONTROL PANEL A F D B C G E FEATURES A B C D E F G - The Timer Main Oven Temperature Control Main Oven Indicator Neon Top Oven Temperature Control Top Oven Indicator Neon Selector Control Hotplate Controls 10
THE TIMER Cookpot symbol Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2.00pm is shown as 1400. In the following pages we explain how to set the controls. Read through them a few times until you are familiar with the procedure. If the appliance is switched off on the wall, or there is a loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be able to use the ovens. When you first switch the electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL The automatic control can be used to control either oven but you can only use the control for both ovens at the same time if the cooking time is the same. When you use the automatic controls for the first time it’s probably best to choose a time when you are at home. That way you can check to make sure you’ve set everything correctly and you’ll feel much more confident when you are away from home in the future. SETTING THE AUTOMATIC USE CONTROLS FOR This is very easy.
THE CERAMIC HOB CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE. · NOTE To operate the dual hotplate, turn the control knob clockwise for the full area or anti-clockwise for the centre section. · The inner section is very economical when cooking with small diameter saucepans.
· · · · Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the surface so will not brown on the upperside if not turned. Once cooked, drain the food on absorbent paper. To prolong the life of the hotplates:Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket. Never use an asbestos mat. 5. Double frying chips. Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan. · Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning.
THE DUAL GRILL USES OF THE GRILL CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. SELECTING THE GRILL · Select the grill function for full grill · Select the grill function for centre section only · Turn the temperature control knob to the right as far as it will go. This is the hottest setting. · To use the grill at lower settings, turn the temperature control knob so that the 110°C or 150°C on the knob lines up with the off dot on the panel.
GRILLING CHART HINTS AND TIPS · In order to become acquainted with 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. Bacon Rashers · Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different foods.
THE TOP OVEN USES OF 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 on one level and for small 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. temperature setting of 80°C - 100°C on the top oven control dial.
HINTS AND TIPS · Most cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners. · Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be cooked in the main oven. However, they may be cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food. · Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning. · There should always be at least 2.
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. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.
HINTS AND TIPS · · · Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are numbered 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.

ROASTING 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 Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2 hours. 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. A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours.
CARE AND CLEANING BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE, ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to prevent soilage being burnt on. Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the cleaning agents recommended.
TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE · We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent damage. 1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool. 2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle of 30° to remove as much soilage as possible. 3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off as directed above. Avoid the use of: ● Household detergents and bleaches.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with the elements or the door seal as this may cause damage. · Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before the outside is over-browned.
REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB 3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand. The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1 (Available through Service Force Centres). 4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you, lift slightly to disengage the locators from the two bottom brackets.
