Before using the appliance Rating plate • 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. • Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.
Grill and oven furniture • The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance. If you require replacements of any of the items listed below please contact your local service force centre.
The hob WARNING! Do not use the appliance if the ceramic glass is damaged. If a fault or crack becomes visible, disconnect the appliance immediately from the electricity supply and contact your local service force centre. Using the hob Turn the hob control knob to the required setting. Recommended saucepans • Only saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan base should be approximately the same size as the cooking area.
• • • • Never leave the hotplates on when not covered with a saucepan. Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking. IMPORTANT! Do not allow hot pans or baking trays to touch the controls as dammage may occur. Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to keep the hob looking like new. If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g. jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the hob before it sets and becomes hard otherwise damage to the hob will occur.
The grill pan and handle The grill pan has a removable handle. Attach and remove as described below To attach. Press the button on the handle with the thumb and insert the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Slide the handle towards the left and release the button. WARNING! Ensure the handle is properly located. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.
Hints and tips • Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices. • Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. • 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 The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flans or quiche. The top oven is also ideal for use as warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use the lowest setting on the second oven temperature control. Using the top oven Turn the top oven/grill control to the required setting.
Hints and tips • • The material and finish of the baking tray and dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning. • Because of the smaller cooking space and lower temperatures, shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations given in the cooking chart.
The main oven The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. 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 need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first.
Things to note • The oven light will illuminate. • The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to show that the setting is being maintained. • The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time. • The oven fan will operate. Hints and tips • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards. A slight increase in cooking time may be necessary.
Oven cooking chart The temperature and baking times are for guidance only, as these will depend on the consistency of the various ingredients and the number, type and size of baking tray or tins used. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature to suit individual preference and requirements. For best results, moist recipes (for example pizza, fruit flans etc) should be baked on one level.

Defrost 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. Using defrost Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. Things to note • The oven fan and interior light will come on.
Main oven light It is possible to turn the light on in your main oven. Using main oven light Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. Slow cook The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in the oven. It is particularly useful when you are cooking soups, stews and casseroles because the long slow cooking will make cheaper, tougher cuts of meat more tender. Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not suitable for slow cooking because the temperature is too low.
Food preparation – slow cooking Joints of meat and poultry Milk puddings • Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb). • Do not cook poultry over 2 kg (4lb 8oz). • Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or above. • Cook stuffing separately. • Cook for at least six hours. • Only cook joints of pork if you can make sure, by using a meat thermometer, that the temperature inside the joint is at least 88°C. • For good air circulation always stand joints on a rack in a roasting tin or casserole.
Care and cleaning WARNING! Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down before switching off at the electricity supply. Cleaning materials • Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, 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 and scourers should also be avoided.
To remove burnt on foodstuff • 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. • Make sure the ceramic glass is cool. • Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle of 30° to remove as much foodstuff as possible. • Use hob cleaner or cream cleaner to finish off as directed above.
Cleaning inside the grill and oven compartments • The sides and back of the grill/second oven and main oven compartments are coated with a special Stay-clean coating. They should not be cleaned manually. • The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill compartment base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
