PREFACE Dear Customer, Thank you for buying a Tricity Bendix cooker. With our 80 years 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 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. If the cooker is to be placed on a base, measures must be taken to prevent the cooker slipping from the base.
Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food in the oven. Ensure that all vents are left unobstructed to ensure ventilation of the oven cavity. Ensure that the anti-tilt shelves are put in place correctly. Refer to instructions on page 15 and 18. GENERAL Under no circumstances should repairs be carried out by inexperienced persons as this may cause injury or serious malfunction. This product should be serviced by an authorised Service Engineer and only genuine approved spare parts should be used.
INTRODUCTION WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE 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 of this instruction book, from the rating plate. This is situated on the lower 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.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob. GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker: 1 grill pan (311409401) It is important to ensure that the appliance is level after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.

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) 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 OFF at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.
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 top oven/grill control clockwise so that '0' on the control knob lines up with setting 1, 2 or 3. Setting 3 represents the grill on Full. At settings 1 and 2 the grill may turn on and off over time and you may prefer to use these settings for keeping food warm. The grill neon will illuminate.
GRILLING CHART To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking. HINTS AND TIPS l l l Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking. 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 90-100°C on the top oven control dial.
l l l l l l 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 directly below the element. DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.
TOP 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. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.
THE MAIN OVEN SELECTING THE OVEN l To operate the main oven turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. l The conventional oven is fitted with side elements. Avoid placing food too close to the side element oven lining to prevent scorching. THINGS TO NOTE 1. The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the required temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.

CARE AND CLEANING ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING 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.
CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID, AND OVEN SHELVES HINTS AND TIPS l All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher. The grill pan, grill pan grid, and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning easier. l l CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL / OVEN COMPARTMENTS The sides of the main oven are coated with special Stayclean linings.
