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 After installation, please dispose of the packaging with due regard to safety and the environment, your local authority can arrange this. THESE WARNINGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE INTERESTS OF YOUR SAFETY. ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THEM ALL BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE APPLIANCE. DURING OPERATION Do not use this appliance if it is in contact with water. Never operate it with wet hands. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY This appliance is designed to be operated by adults.
Take care to follow the recommendations given for tending the food when grilling. Do not leave utensils containing foodstuffs, e.g. fat or oil in or on the appliance in case it is inadvertently switched ON. Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food in the oven. 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.
INTRODUCTION WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED RATING PLATE To move the cooker, open the main oven door and lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the compartment. This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the top cavity 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.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE REVERSIBLE MAIN OVEN DOOR The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker: If you require replacements of any of the items listed below please contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the relevant part number. 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 Force Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will be made.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COOKER THE CONTROL PANEL A B C F D G FEATURES A B C D E F G - The Timer Main Oven Temperature Control Top Oven Temperature Control Selector Control Hotplate Controls Main Oven Indicator Neon Top Oven Indicator Neon 10 E
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. 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. 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 CONTROLS FOR AUTOMATIC USE 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. l l l l NOTE To operate the dual hotplate, turn the control knob clockwise for the full area or anti-clockwise for the centre section. Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being used.
l To prolong the life of the hotplates:- 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. l Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket l Never use an asbestos mat 5. Double frying chips l Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan. l l Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal the outside.
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 THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE Select the grill function for full grill. The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
GRILLING CHART HINTS AND TIPS l l l l l l l l 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) Bacon Rashers 1 2-3 each side Beefburgers 1 6-10 each side Chicken Joints 1 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.
l HINTS AND TIPS 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. l 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.
l HINTS AND TIPS l l l Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves 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. l 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 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.
CARE AND CLEANING BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the cleaning agents below may be used temporarily: CLEANING MATERIALS TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. 1.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER HINTS AND TIPS TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE: l l l l l DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials eg Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent. 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.
l CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL/OVEN COMPARTMENTS The sides, top and back of the grill/top oven and main oven are coated with a special Stayclean coating. The Stayclean coating should not be cleaned manually. l The vitreous enamel fan oven base and grill compartment base, can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
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. REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1 (Available throughyour local Service Force Centres). CAUTION: Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb. Open the door and remove the shelves to enable easy access to the oven light assembly.
