PREFACE Dear Customer, Thank you for buying a Tricity Bendix cooker. With our 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 product. 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 DURING OPERATION Do not use this cooker if it is in contact with water. Never operate it with wet hands. This cooker is designed to be operated by adults. Young children must not be allowed to tamper with the cooker or play with the controls. During use the cooker becomes Hot.
Do not leave the grill pan handle in position when grilling as it will become hot. Do not leave utensils containing foodstuffs, e.g. fat or oil in or on the cooker in case it is inadvertently switched ON. Always use oven gloves to remove and replace the grill pan handle when grilling. Recommendations given on page 13. 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 cooker until it has cooled.
INTRODUCTION WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED RATING PLATE The cable should be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below. Record the model, product and serial numbers on the back cover from the rating plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen upon opening the grill door. The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on the rating plate.
Note: Vapours from the oven vent may in time cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the cooker. GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker. Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob. 1 grill pan 1 grill pan handle It is important to ensure that the appliance is level after installation.

THE SEALED HOTPLATES BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME Turn the control knob to a medium/high setting and allow the hotplate to heat uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5 minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates and makes it more resistant to normal use. A harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates. l l To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting.
DEEP FAT FRYING 6. Frying temperatures Celsius Fahrenheit Scale (oC) Scale (oF) 150 300 SPECIAL FRYING NOTE: For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan one-third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the unfortunate event of a fire, switch the cooker OFF at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.
THE 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 l l l To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the grill control in either direction. The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest the coolest setting. Setting 5 represents the grill on Full. At lower settings the grill may turn on and off over time and you may prefer to use these settings for keeping food warm.
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf. l l Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking. The food should be turned over during cooking as required.
THE 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 l l Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards. l l l l 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.

DEFROSTING 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. 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.
CARE AND CLEANING ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH AND ALLOW THE COOKER TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING CLEANING MATERIALS CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel cleaner , e.g. 'Shiny Sinks' will help maintain a bright appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as 'Bar Keepers Friend' may be used regularly.
HINTS AND TIPS CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID AND OVEN SHELVES All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher. The grill pan may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid and oven shelves should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning easier. CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL COMPARTMENTS l l l l The Stayclean surface on the rear oven panel should not be cleaned manually.
