The 'Countdown' indicator neon will continue to flash for a few seconds and then return to the time of day. 3. SETTING THE OVEN TIMER CONTROL Fig.5. The main oven only can be automatically timed.
B) TO SET THE TIMER TO SWITCH OFF ONLY i) Ensure the electricity supply is switched ON and that the correct time is displayed, e.g. 10.00 a.m. as Fig. 9. ii) Set the main oven controls to the required function and temperature. iii) Place food in the oven. iv) To set the length of cooking time, press the Selector Control button until the 'Cook Time' indicator is illuminated. Press the increase control button (+) until the required length of cooking time is displayed, e.g. 2 hrs 15 mins as Fig. 10.
THE CERAMIC HOB 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 • To operate the dual hotplates, turn the control knob clockwise to the full power setting ( ) then turn down as necessary. 4 • For single hotplates, turn the control knob clockwise to vary the heat setting.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • • • • Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn on. Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings. Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not be used.
THE DUAL GRILL CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. The grill is a dual circuit grill 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. USING THE DUAL GRILL • Turn the top oven/grill control clockwise to the full power setting ( ), then turn down as necessary. The grill settings are as follows:- • ( ) Full grill area at ¼ power.
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. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking. Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing.
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 smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, 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 top oven temperature control.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • • • • • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.

MAIN OVEN GRILL WARNING – Accessible parts become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away. USING THE MAIN OVEN GRILL • • Turn grill. the main oven multifunction selector to Turn the main oven temperature control knob to the right as far as it will go. This is the hottest setting. To use the grill at lower settings, turn the temperature control knob to 110°C or 150°C. THINGS TO NOTE • • • The oven light will illuminate. The indicator neon will glow.
• • • • Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed around the outer edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats. When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position. Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position as necessary during cooking. The food should be turned over during cooking as required.
MAIN OVEN CONVENTIONAL COOKING This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pies, quiches and flans. Gratin's, lasagne and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. For best results cook on one level. USING CONVENTIONAL COOKING • • Turn the main oven multifunction selector to Conventional Cooking.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • • • • • Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more than one level of cooking use the main fan oven. 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. There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the grill element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc.
THE MAIN FAN 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.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are counted 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 temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

THERMAL GRILLING Thermal grilling in the main oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can Thermal Grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill. The lower part of the oven can be used to cook accompaniments at the same time, e.g.
HINTS AND TIPS • • • • 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. 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. Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed below the grid when grilling meats, or in a separate dish on a lower shelf.
PIZZA This setting can be used for foods such as pizza where base browning and crispness are required. The lower element operates in conjunction with the oven fan. USING PIZZA • • Turn the main oven multifunction selector to Pizza. Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. 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.
MAIN OVEN BASE HEAT FINISHING This function uses the lower element to give single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. USING BASE HEAT FINISHING • • Turn the main oven multifunction selector to Base Heat. Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. THINGS TO NOTE • • • • The oven light will illuminate. The indicator neon will glow.
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. USING DEFROST FEATURE • • • Turn the main oven temperature control to the defrost setting. When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon may come ON.
CARE AND CLEANING 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.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to prevent soilage being burnt on. Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the cleaning agents recommended. DAILY CLEANING Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off. 1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre of each area to be cleaned. 2.
HINTS AND TIPS TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE: • • • • • Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins. Ensure saucepans are large enough accommodate food to avoid boil overs. If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they occur, but take care to avoid steam burns. 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 COMPARTMENTS GRILL AND The sides and back of the grill/second oven and main oven compartments are coated with a special Stayclean 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.
CLEANING THE DOOR(S) To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: • Household detergents and bleaches • Impregnated pads unsuitable for nonstick saucepans • Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads • Chemical oven pads or aerosols • Rust removers • Bath/Sink stain removers CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS The inner door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE INNER GLASS Open the oven door to gain access to the top of the oven door.
REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb. 1. Make sure the appliance is cool before replacing the bulb. 2. Open the door and remove the shelves and wirework runners. 3. Remove the glass cover by turning it to the left. 4. Unscrew the bulb by turning it to the left. 5. Fit a new bulb and then replace the glass bulb cover. 6.
