BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE RATING PLATE GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable). The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate. Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.
THE CERAMIC HOB Do not use the appliance if the ceramic glass is damaged. If a fault or crack becomes visible, disconnect the appliance immediately from the electricity supply and contact your local Service Force Centre. USING THE HOB · · To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting. The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting.
HINTS AND TIPS · · · · · · · Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn on. Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings. Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not be used.
THE GRILL WARNING – Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away. USING THE GRILL · · · 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 number represents 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.
HINTS AND TIPS · · · · 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. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking. Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing.
THE MAIN FAN 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 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 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.
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.

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. USING DEFROST FEATURE · · · Turn the main oven temperature control to the defrost setting. When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon may 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.
DAILY CLEANING Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off. 1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre of each area to be cleaned. 2. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub vigorously until all marks are removed. This may take a few minutes. 3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
HINTS AND TIPS TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE: · · · · · Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins. Ensure saucepans are large enough accommodate food to avoid boil overs. If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they occur, but take care to avoid steam burns. Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent on the hob surface which will burn and discolour the next time the hob is used.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND OVEN COMPARTMENTS The sides and back of the main oven compartment are coated with special Stayclean linings. They should not be cleaned manually. The vitreous enamel main oven base, interior main oven door and grill compartment can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER 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 screwdriver. using a Pozidrive 3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand. 4.
