INTRODUCTION RATING PLATE COOKWARE This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the main 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 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, quoting the relevant part number. 1 grill pan (311409401) 1 grill pan handle (311468100) NOTE If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.
THE OVEN TIMER Cookpot symbol Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2.00 pm is shown as 1400. 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. If the oven is switched off on the wall, or there is a loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be able to use the main oven. When you first switch the electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL Important: 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 DUAL GRILL USES OF THE DUAL GRILL CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the whole area of the grill can be used or, for economy purposes the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL · Select the Top Oven/Grill Function to Full for full grill. · Select the Top Oven/Grill Function to Half for centre section only.
HINTS AND TIPS · In order to become acquainted with the performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling. · 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 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 smaller 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 90°C - 100°C on the top oven control.
HINTS AND TIPS · · All oven cooking should be carried out on shelf positions one and two using a cranked shelf. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards. Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning. · DO NOT place baking trays directly on the oven floor as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf position. · There should always be at least 2.
THE MAIN FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN 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. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.
HINTS AND TIPS · 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.

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 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.
HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD 10. Cook meat thoroughly – use a meat thermometer if preferred, which penetrates the joint to check that the centre temperature has reached the required temperature (see table below). Care must be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods:- MEAT Beef 1.
CARE AND CLEANING BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. CLEANING INSIDE THE MAIN OVEN The Stayclean surface inside the Main Oven should not be cleaned manually. See page 29 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'. CLEANING MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand. The screws and washers retain the trim on the top of the grill/top oven door. Note the position of the trim on the door. CLEANING THE SHELVES, WIREWORK RUNNERS AND GRILL/OVEN FURNITURE All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher. 4.
· If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Please contact your local Service Force Centre who will be pleased to advise further. · TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR PANELS Clean the inner glass door panels using a soft cloth and hot water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. If the inner panel is heavily soiled, Hob Brite may be used.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING? Before calling an Engineer please carry out the following checks, you may be able to solve the problem without the expense of an Engineer. The oven temperature is too high or too low: * Check that the recommended temperatures are being used (see page 23). Be prepared to adjust the temperature up or down by 10°C to achieve the results you want.
