INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW GETTING THINGS READY WARNINGS: CHOICE OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION l l l l l l This appliance must be installed by a qualified electrician/competent person. Safety may be impaired if installation is not carried out in accordance with these instructions.
ii) By connecting the cooker point to the hob and then connecting the hob to the oven. Provided that the hob manufacturer permits it, connect the oven to the hob and the hob to the cooker point using the same cabling as described in (a) above. Check the hob terminal block is large enough to take two cables and is of suitable rating. If not b) i) on page 7 must be used. See Fig. 1. NOTE: 13 amp cable is not suitable for connecting this application. Cooker Point Fig.

l HOW TO FINISH UNPACKING l l Place packed appliance next to the cabinet in which it will be installed. Remove the appliance packing except for bottom tray which should be left in position until the appliance is ready to be fitted into its cabinet. l Carefully prise open the sheathing at each end of the cable to expose the encased wiring. TO REMOVE COVER OF MAINS TERMINAL NOTE: It is imperative that the appliance is left in the base to protect both the appliance and the floor.
l l Lift cover and remove screw from cable clamp. See Fig. 7. l Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of the outer insulation is inside the terminal block and that the wires are not taught but not so slack as to cause any fouling. See Fig.8. Place fuse/ miniature circuit breaker in circuit and switch on at mains. CONNECTING TO A HOB OR APPLIANCE POINT l Either follow in general terms the instructions for connecting to the terminal block or refer to the hob suppliers installation instructions.
FITTING INTO THE CABINET IMPORTANT: Ensure that the oven is switched off at the wall before any further work is carried out. l l l l l Using a tape measure establish the internal width of the cabinet. Refer to page 7 if greater than 565mm. Position the appliance in front of the cabinet. See Fig. 9. Take out all oven furniture before installation to reduce the weight you need to lift. The oven door should be taped up to keep it closed whilst lifting. Fig.

INTRODUCTION RATING PLATE COOKWARE This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can been seen upon opening the cavity door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (Where applicable) Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven. Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE TELESCOPIC RUNNERS The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance. Your appliance is fitted with telescopic runners in the fan oven. To fit the shelf into the telescopic runner, 1. Ensure the telescopic runners are pushed back into the oven cavity before fitting the shelf. 1 grill pan (311409401) 2. Holding the front edge of the shelf with both hands, place the rear shelf forms over the telescopic runners. 3.
THE GRILL USES OF THE GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. Use the full heat grill only for foods which require high heat and short cooking times, e.g. toast, blue/rare steaks. Use thermal grilling to grill all other foods, e.g. bacon, chops, sausages, chicken joints, etc. See chart on page 28 for recommended cooking times, temperatures and shelf positions.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking. THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump in the grill pan. l l Ensure the handle is correctly located.
THE 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 is circulated into 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.
l USING THE TELESCOPIC RUNNERS 1. Ensure the telescopic runners are pushed back into the oven cavity before fitting the shelf. When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time. 2. Holding the front edge of the shelf with both hands, place the rear shelf forms over the telescopic runners. 3. Slide the shelf into position, lifting slightly at the front so that the shelf locates into the retaining hooks.
DEFROST FEATURE USES OF DEFROST FEATURE Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 - 2 hours. This function enables you to defrost most foods faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. 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.
THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN This function uses the top and lower elements to give single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan oven in operation.
l HINTS AND TIPS l l l l l The middle shelf allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position. l The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.
THE ZONED OVEN USES OF THE ZONED OVEN When the Zoned Oven is selected the element at the top of the oven operates in conjunction with the fan with effect that the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. As there is a difference of up to 30°C between the top and bottom of the oven this feature is especially useful for dishes requiring different temperatures at the same time, making it ideal for cooking a complete meal on two shelves.
HINTS AND TIPS l l l l l l l Remember that the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. The approximate difference in temperature between the top and the bottom is 30°C. If a higher shelf position is used than is recommended in the chart on page 25, it may be necessary to lower the cooking temperature by approximately 10°C. Be prepared to interchange dishes between the higher and lower shelf position during cooking where necessary.
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. Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.
THERMAL GRILLING USES OF THERMAL GRILLING The lower part of the oven can be used to cook accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast. Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and browned on the top using the thermal grilling function.
l HINTS AND TIPS l Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking. l l Turn food over during cooking as necessary. Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food. l Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc.
