INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing a British built appliance by Belling. Moving the cooker Do not attempt to move the cooker by pulling on the doors or handles. Open the oven or grill door and grasp the frame of the cooker, taking care that the door does not shut on your fingers. We hope that the following information will help you to quickly familiarise yourself with the features of the appliance, and to use it successfully and safely.
INTRODUCTION The cooling fan When the top oven and grill are in use, you will hear the cooling fan come on. This keeps the fascia, control knobs and components cool during cooking. The cooling fan may also operate when the main oven is used. Electrical connection The cooling fan may continue to operate for a period of time after the controls have been switched off. Disconnection of electric appliances should always be carried out by a competent person. When hot and cold air meet, condensation forms.
BE SAFE - NOT SORRY When you are cooking, keep children away from the vicinity of the appliance. • Switch off the electricity supply before replacing the oven light bulb, to avoid the risk of electric shock. This product is designed as a domestic cooking appliance for the preparation and cooking of domestic food products, and should not be used for any other purpose. • Do not use aluminium foil to cover the grill pan, or put items wrapped in foil under the grill, as this creates a fire hazard.
USING THE HOB Warning: Do not use the ceramic hob if the glass surface is cracked, as electrical parts are immediately beneath. Switch off the appliance at the supply to prevent electric shock and contact your supplier. WARNING! The hob surface remains hot after use. DO NOT TOUCH. Care and cleaning See ‘Cleaning the Hob’ section. Before using the hob for the first time Before using the hob for the first time, apply a thin coating of cleaner conditioner and polish the surface with a clean dry cloth.
USING THE HOB Using the hotplate • • • Commercial simmering aids should not be used as they create excessive temperatures that can damage the surface and may cause a hazard. Be careful when cooking foods in salted water, or foods containing large amounts of sugar, syrup or jam - if they are spilt onto hot areas of the hob they may damage it. • Do not place aluminium foil or plastic utensils on the ceramic glass, as they may melt and damage the surface.
USING THE HOB To save energy Choice of pans • Always position pans centrally over the heating area. • Put lids on saucepans and only heat the amount of liquid you need. The choice of cookware is important if you are to achieve maximum benefit from cooking with a ceramic hob. • When liquids boil, reduce the control setting to maintain a simmer. • Consider the use of a pressure cooker for the cooking of a complete meal. • Vegetables will cook quicker if chopped in smaller pieces.
USING THE HOB Type and size of pan • • • • • Cast iron, stainless steel, or enamelled steel pans are all suitable for use on ceramic glass hobs. Aluminium pans will give good cooking results but care must be taken in their use. If they are slid across the surface of the hob they tend to leave visible marks which can be difficult to remove. Certain makes / brands of pressure cookers may not be suitable for use on ceramic hobs - they do not come to pressure.
USING THE GRILL Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used, young children should be kept away. the handle to pour hot fats from the grill pan. Food for grilling should be positioned centrally on the trivet. Detachable grill pan handle Aluminium foil Using aluminium foil to cover the grill pan, or putting items wrapped in foil under the grill can create a fire hazard, and the high reflectivity can damage the grill element.
USING THE GRILL Using the grill Important: The door must be kept open when the grill is used. Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used, young children should be kept away. To switch off, return the control knob to the “off” position. The top oven grill has 3 heat settings as follows:- For grilling smaller quantities of food the centre (economy) grill can be utilised. Full grill area at 1/4 power. For grilling larger quantities of food, the full grill can be utilised.
USING THE TOP OVEN When you are cooking keep children away from the vicinity of the oven. cooking frozen or chilled foods, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés, and whisked sponges. Caution: The top element gets extremely hot when in use, so take extra care to avoid touching it. Preheat the oven until the indicator light switches off for the first time, this will take up to 20 minutes depending on the temperature selected.
Using the Top Oven Top oven baking guide Cooking temperatures The temperature settings and time given in the Baking Guides are based on dishes made with block margarine. If soft tub margarine is used, it may be necessary to reduce the temperature setting. If a recipe gives a different temperature setting to that shown in the guide, the recipe instruction should be followed. Cooking times These times are based on cooking in a preheated oven.
Using the Main Oven Accessible parts may be hot when the oven is used. Young children should be kept away. Preheating When cooking sensitive items such as souffle and Yorkshire puddings or, when cooking bread, we recommend that the oven is pre-heated until the neon switches off for the first time. For any other types of cooking, a pre-heat is not required. To switch on the oven Turn the oven control knob clockwise to the required setting.
Using the Main Oven Oven furniture Slow cooking ( Oven shelves I Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry weighing more than 21⁄4kg / 41⁄2lb. I Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly THAWED before cooking. The oven shelf must be positioned with the upstand at the rear of the oven and facing upwards. I Preheat the oven to 170˚C and cook for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven control to (slow cook setting) for the remainder of the cooking time.
Using the Main Oven Cooking with a fanned oven Notes: As this is a high efficiency oven, you may notice the emission of steam from the oven when the door is opened. Please take care when opening the door. When 2 or more shelves are being used, it may be necessary to increase the cooking time slightly. Because the 2 oven shelves are wider than in many ovens, it is possible to cook 2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria sandwiches or 2 casseroles.
Using the Main Oven Defrosting and cooling in the main oven Be safe Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this method. To defrost frozen foods, turn the main oven control to the defrost position, place the food in the centre of the oven and close the door. Do not defrost larger joints of meat and poultry over 2kg / 4lb using this method. To cool foods after cooking prior to refrigerating or freezing, turn the main oven control to the defrost position and open the door.
MAIN OVEN CONVERSION GUIDE Note: this is a high efficiency oven, therefore some adjustment will have to be made to conventional cooking temperatures. The table below shows conventional cooking temperatures, ‘A’ efficiency temperatures and gas marks. For optimum results, conventional temperatures need to be converted to ‘A’ efficiency temperatures. For example, an item which would normally cook at a conventional temperature of 180 ˚C, will now cook at the ‘A’ efficiency temperature of 160˚C.

Using the Ovens Traditional fruit cakes Roast turkey It should be remembered that ovens can vary over time, therefore cooking times can vary, making it difficult to be precise when baking fruit cakes. Roasting turkey involves cooking two different types of meat - the delicate light breast meat, which must not be allowed to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which takes longer to cook. It is necessary therefore, to test the cake before removal from the oven.
Using the Ovens Roasting guide Notes: I When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing. The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate, because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of the bone. I For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time.

Easy care surfaces Always let the appliance cool before cleaning. MAIN OVEN SIDES AND BACK We recommend that the appliance is cleaned after open roasting, and also after roasting at temperatures higher than 200˚C, to help prevent a build up of fats. Use of a trivet in a roasting tin when roasting will help reduce fat splashing.
CARE & CLEANING Glass parts Chrome plated parts FACIA PANEL, DOOR PANELS OVEN SHELVES Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
