SAFETY THESE WARNINGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE INTERESTS OF YOUR SAFETY. ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THEM ALL BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE APPLIANCE. DURING OPERATION This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system. 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.
Do not leave utensils containing foodstuffs, e.g. fat or oil in or on the appliance in case it is inadvertently switched ON. Take care to follow the recommendations given for tending the food when grilling. Do not leave the grill pan handle in position when grilling as it will become hot. 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 The cable should be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below. 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.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob. GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR APPLIANCE It is important to ensure that the appliance is level after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the appliance to accommodate uneven floors. We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – o 15 minutes at 220 C to burn off any residue from their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.

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. · · HINTS AND TIPS To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting.

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 · THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE To operate the grill, turn the oven/grill control clockwise until the grill setting lines up with oven/grill on the control panel. · Close the oven door. · The oven/grill neon indicator will light. · The oven/grill neon indicator will turn on and off periodically during grilling.
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. · Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed around the outer edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats. To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to tend the food during cooking.
THE FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN The oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven, the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fanned 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 find you need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
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. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.

DEFROST FEATURE USES OF DEFROST Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced 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. 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 APPLIANCE TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING. THINGS TO NOTE The red spot in the centre of the hotplates may be removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is not a fault and does not affect the performance of the hotplates. CLEANING MATERIALS FOR NORMAL SOILAGE Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.
CLEANING THE FURNITURE GRILL AND OVEN · Follow the recommendations below to keep oven soilage to a minimum. All removable parts except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher. · Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an increased length of time, you will save energy and often the joint is more tender.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS 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. The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS 2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven door, ensuring the screw location holes line up. 1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door. 2.
