PREFACE Dear Customer, Thank you for buying a Tricity Bendix cooker. With our 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 DURING OPERATION 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 cooker is heavy and care must be taken when moving it. Ensure that all packaging, both inside and outside the cooker 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.
Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is in the withdrawn or partially withdrawn position. GENERAL Ensure that all vents are left unobstructed to ensure ventilation of the oven. Under no circumstances should repairs be carried out by inexperienced persons as this may cause injury or serious malfunction. This cooker should be serviced by an authorised Service Engineer and only genuine approved spare parts should be used. Ensure that the anti-tilt shelves are put in place correctly.
INTRODUCTION WARNING: THIS COOKER 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 from the rating plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen upon opening the top oven door. The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on the rating plate.
Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the cooker. Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob. THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS 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.

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. We have supplied a plastic card as a quick reference when setting the timer. If the oven is switched off at the wall, or there is a loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be able to use the ovens.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL You can only use the automatic control for the main oven. 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. All you have to do is work through the steps below. The clock will work out the rest for itself.
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 SERVICE FORCE CENTRE. USING THE HOB l l l l To operate the dual hotplate turn the control knob clockwise for the full area, or anticlockwise for the centre section. The inner section is very economical when cooking with small diameter saucepans.
l 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 covered with a saucepan. l l l Ensure that hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning. Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to keep the hob looking like new. If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.
THE 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.
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. GRILLING CHART FOOD SHELF GRILL TIME (mins in total) Adjust 5-6 shelf 10-15 Chicken Joints position 30-40 Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different foods. Chops - Lamb and 15-20 20-30 Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.
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. 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 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. 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 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. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 - 2 hours. 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 MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS 1. Bar-Keepers Friend may be used to clean off more stubborn stains or to remove discolourations. It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for several minutes. 2.
HINTS AND TIPS TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE: l Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins. l Ensure saucepans are large enough to accommodate food to avoid boil overs. l If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they occur, but take care to avoid steam burns. l Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent on the hob surface which will burn and discolour the next time the hob is used.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL COMPARTMENTS The sides and back of the main oven and top oven compartment are coated with Stayclean enamel surfaces. The Stayclean surfaces inside the main oven should not be cleaned manually. See below 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'. l l l l Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
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 300C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1. (Available through Tricity Bendix service centres). CAUTION: Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb. Open door and remove the shelves to enable easy access to the oven light assembly.
