Using the Top Oven for Solarplus Grilling Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. We have developed a Solarplus high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used directly from cold without any pre-heat.

Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should be approx.

Main Oven - Fan Grilling Fan grilling is a combination of heat from the grill element and the oven fan circulating the hot air around the food. Joints of meat and poultry will be browned as if they were cooked on a rotisserie or spit but more economically as the door left closed. If required, fan grilling can be timed using the Oven Auto timer. Follow the timer instructions before selecting fan grill and the required temperature. If Manual fan grilling is required always ensure the timer is set to Manual.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions Fan Only FAN ONLY SETTING DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per lb.). Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven. However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non-heating fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.
Main Oven - Convection Oven Important NEVER line the shelves, the floor or the sides of the oven with aluminium foil as overheating and damage may result. The oven is heated by elements at the top of the oven and underneath the floor of the oven. Food should not be placed on the floor of the oven. Do not use the oven without the removable oven roof in position with its front flange facing downwards. Operating Procedure 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Ensure Oven Timer is set to Manual.
Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating the oven is often unnecessary. However, foods such as bread, scones, Yorkshire pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven. The charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C.
Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes Temperature and Time The oven is provided with two shelves. A third is available as an optional extra, contact Genuine Parts & Accessories Hotline (see back page) for further information. If three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in the charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food.

‘S’ Slow Cook Setting This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven. DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven lining and the plates which are being warmed. ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE: The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing. Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Main Oven Grilling DO NOT allow young children near the appliance when the grill is in use as the surfaces can get extremely hot. GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. - Do Not line the grill pan with aluminium foil. - Ensure that the grill pan is cleaned after every use. Excess fat build-up in the bottom of the pan could cause a fire hazard. - Preheat the grill on the required setting for 5 minutes Grilling Procedure: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Care and Cleaning Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off and the appliance is fully cold. 1. “STAY CLEAN” OVEN LINERS (Top Oven sides, Main Oven sides and rear panel ) (a) How "Stay Clean" works. TOP OVEN SIDES The surfaces of the "Stay Clean" oven liners are treated with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.
Care and Cleaning 2. CLEANING GRILL, TOP OVEN AND MAIN OVEN (a) Base & Rear of Top Oven and Base of Main Oven. Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For more stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad. GRILL PAN (b) Grill Pan, Meat Pans & Oven Shelves. BASE & REAR OVEN SHELVES MAIN OVEN BASE MEAT PAN To prevent stains from being burnt on to the grill pan, food support and rod shelf, always wash immediately after use in warm soapy water.
Care and Cleaning 3. OVEN DOORS (a) Control Panel Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean, dry cloth. CONTROL PANEL OVEN DOORS (b) Trims It is advisable to clean the trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the cooker. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a clean, soft cloth wrung out in warm water, or mild non abrasive cleaner.
Care and Cleaning Take particular care not to damage the inner surface of the door inner glass that is coated with a heat reflective layer. Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive powder, which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows. Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool pad. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.
