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. After installation, please dispose of the packaging with due regard to safety and the environment. DURING OPERATION PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION This appliance is heavy and care must be taken when moving it. Ensure that all packaging, both inside and outside the appliance, has been removed before the appliance is used.
Take care to follow the recommendations given for tending the food when grilling. Cookers and hobs become very hot, and retain their heat for a long period of time after use. Children should be kept well away from the appliance until it has cooled. Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food in the oven. GENERAL Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is in the withdrawn or partially withdrawn position. Ensure that all vents are left unobstructed to ensure ventilation of the oven cavity.
INTRODUCTION WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED RATING PLATE To move the cooker, open the main oven door and Record the model, product and serial numbers on the back cover of this instruction book, from the rating plate. This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the top oven door. The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.
REVERSIBLE MAIN OVEN DOOR GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE If you require the oven door to be hinged on the opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified Service Engineer. See page 30 for your nearest Service Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will be made. The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker: If you require repalcements of any of the items listed below, please contact your local Service Force Centre quoting the relevant part number.

THE TIMER Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2.00 pm is shown as 1400. Cookpot symbol Bell symbol In the following pages we explain how to set the controls. Read through them a few times until you are familiar with the procedure. We have supplied a plastic card as a quick reference when setting the timer. If the oven 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.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL You can only use the automatic control for the main oven. 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 CONTROLS FOR AUTOMATIC USE This is very easy. All you have to do is work through the steps below. The clock will work out the rest for itself.
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. l l l l 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.
l l l l l l To prolong the life of the hotplates:Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket Never use an asbestos mat Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan. Ensure that hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning. Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to keep the hob looking like new. If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.
THE DUAL GRILL USES OF THE 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 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. SELECTING THE GRILL l l l l Select the grill function for full grill Select the grill function for centre section only Ensure the handle is correctly located.
HINTS AND TIPS l l l l GRILLING CHART In order to become acquainted with the performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling. FOOD SHELF GRILL TIME (mins) Adjust 2-3 each side shelf 6-10 each side Chicken Joints position 15-20 each side 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 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 a temperature setting of 80-100°C on the top oven control dial.
HINTS AND TIPS l l l l 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 from the main oven 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.
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.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES l 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. l 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. FAN OVEN FOOD SHELF POSITION Biscuits Bread Bread rolls/buns Cakes: Shelf Small & Queen Sponges Victoria Sandwich Madeira Rich Fruit Christmas Gingerbread Meringues Flapjack Shortbread Casseroles: Beef/lamb Chicken Convenience Foods Fish Fish Pie (Potato Topped) Fruit Pies, Crumbles Milk Puddings Pasta, Lasagne etc.

DEFROST FEATURE USES OF 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. It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function.
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 cooker, 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.
l TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE Avoid the use of: 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. l Household detergents and bleaches. 1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool. l Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads. 2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle of 30° to remove as much soilage as possible. l Chemical oven cleaners, e.g.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with elements as this may cause damage. For advice on how to keep the Stayclean surfaces in good condition see 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'. l l It is NOT necessary to add water to the 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.
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 appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb. 5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Hob Brite may be used. 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.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING? We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your appliance before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a simple one, which you can solve yourself without the expense of a service call. If our Service Engineer finds that the problem is listed below you will be charged for the call whether or not the appliance is under guarantee. If the oven is not cooking evenly or the side opening door will not stay open: * Check that the cooker is level.
