The ceramic hob Note: 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. Using the hob • Turn the control knob in either direction to vary the heat setting. • The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting.
The dual grill CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young 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. Using the grill • Turn the top oven/grill control clockwise to the full power setting ( ), then turn down as necessary. The grill settings are as follows:• ( ) Full grill area at ¼ power.
Ensure the handle is properly located. To remove the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to remove from the bracket. Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handle. Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling. To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.

The second oven The second oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top oven 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 or savoury flans or quiche. The second oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the lowest setting on the second oven temperature control.
• Hints and tips Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. • 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 on the shelf.
The main 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.
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. • Hints and tips Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards.

Defrost feature This 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 • It may turn ON and OFF periodically during defrosting to maintain a steady room temperature, inside the oven. Things to note • • • 20 The oven fan and interior light will come on.
• It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function. 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. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process. • Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be thawed using the defrost function.
Care and cleaning Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down. 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 must also be avoided. Multi-surface anti-bacterial cleaning products should not be used on the ceramic hob or on the surrounding trims.
Cleaning the control knobs and handles It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the control knobs and handles. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL THE SURFACE FINISH. 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 more stubborn marks 1. Bar Keepers Friend may be used to clean off more stubborn stains or to remove discolourations. It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for several minutes. 2. Use a plastic pad specially for non-stick saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal of more stubborn soilage.
Hints and tips Cleaning the shelves and grill/oven furniture 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 to 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.
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 using a Pozidrive screwdriver. 3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand. 4.
To replace the outer glass Replacing an oven light bulb 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. 2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven door, ensuring the screw location holes line up. 3. Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert the cross head screws into the location holes with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure.
