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 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 COOKER. DURING OPERATION PLEASE READ CAREFULLY Do not use this cooker if it is in contact with water. Never operate it with wet hands. BEFORE INSTALLATION This cooker 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 cooker in case it is inadvertently switched ON. Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is in the withdrawn or partially withdrawn position. 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 cooker until it has cooled.
INTRODUCTION WARNING: EARTHED THIS COOKER MUST BE The cable should be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below. RATING PLATE This is situated on the lower front frame of the cooker 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 cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on the rating plate.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time cause discoloration of wallcoverings behind the cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the cooker. The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. If an automatic programme has been set the cooling fan does not switch on until the cooktime begins.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE Scuffing of the Stayclean panel/s by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks will disappear after the oven elements have been burnt off for the first time. The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker. If you require repalcements of any of the items listed below, please contact your local Service Force Centre quoting the relevant part number.

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 COOKER IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE COOKER IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL FORCE CENTRE. USING THE HOB l l l l NOTE To operate the dual hotplate turn the control knob clockwise for the full area, or anticlockwise for the centre section. Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being used.
l 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. To prolong the life of hotplates:- l Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket. l Never use an asbestos mat. l Never leave the hotplates ON when not l l l 5. Double frying chips covered with a saucepan. Ensure that hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning. Double frying will ensure good chips.
THE DUAL GRILL USES OF THE DUAL GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. The Dual Grill on this appliance has been designed to heat up more quickly than conventional grill elements. It provides quick, direct heat and no preheating is necessary. It has a dual circuit facility 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.
GRILLING CHART HINTS AND TIPS 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 in total) Adjust 5-6 shelf 10-15 Chicken Joints position 30-40 Chops - Lamb Pork and 15-20 20-30 Bacon Rashers 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.
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 small 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.
HINTS AND TIPS l 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 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 The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. 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 find you need to add an extra 5 - 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
HINTS AND TIPS l l 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 temperature by 10° C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

DEFROSTING Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 - 2 hours. USES OF 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. A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours.
CARE AND CLEANING BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. 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.
l TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE Avoid the use of: l Household detergents and bleaches. We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent damage. l Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not described as suitable for non-stick saucepans. l Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads. l Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and 1.
HINTS AND TIPS CLEANING THE DUAL GRILL l The Dual Grill will clean itself during normal use. However, if it has become excessively soiled, run the grill at full setting for approximately 3 minutes to burn off residues of food. l During this time smoke may be emitted from the grill area. The amount of smoke will depend on the soilage on the grill. Ventilate the kitchen, open a window if necessary. l DO NOT attempt to insert any item or implement through the grill mesh.
2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven door, ensuring the screw location holes line up. CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS 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.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING? The hotplates and ovens work but the grill does not: We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your cooker before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a simple one which you can solve yourself without the expense of a service call. * Check that you have carefully followed the instructions for operation of the grill.
