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. 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 The cable should be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below. RATING PLATE 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 cavity door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable).
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.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE THE CONTROL PANEL A FEATURES A B C - Hotplate Controls - Fan Oven/Grill Control - Oven/Grill Indicator Neon 10 B C
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. CHLDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. SELECTING THE GRILL • • Close the oven door. • The oven/grill neon indicator will light. • 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. The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
• 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. When toasting bread use the shelf in position 5 with the grid in the high position and placing the bread in the centre of the grid. Preheat the grill on a full setting for a five minutes before 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.
• TO FIT THE 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.
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.
