The cooling fan (if fitted) is designed to run on after the control knob has been switched off. WARNING! Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.

SAFETY of this appliance while it is in operation. • Never leave cooking fat, or oil, unattended. • Do not store or use flammable liquids or items in the vicinity of this appliance. • • Do not modify this appliance. Never use commercial simmering aids, or heat diffusers, as they create excessive heat and can damage the surface of the hob. • Never use the hob for any other purpose than cooking food. • Always ensure that pan bases are dry and flat before using them on the hob.
SAFETY FIRE SAFETY ADVICE • Most kitchen fires occur when people are distracted or leave things unattended, so remember: Smother the fire with a fire blanket, or use a dry powder or carbon dioxide extinguisher • Remember: never use water on an electrical or cooking oil fire. If you’re called away from the cooker - by the phone or someone at the door, either take pans off the heat, or switch off your hob. Don’t let yourself be distracted while cooking.
USING THE HOB - ELECTRIC (CERAMIC) Warnings Hot Hob Warning • (if fitted) Do not use the ceramic hob if the glass surface is cracked, as electrical parts are directly beneath. Switch off the appliance at the supply to prevent electric shock and contact your supplier. • The hob surface remains hot after use. • DO NOT TOUCH. Using Rotary Controls • Select the element you wish to use, place the pan on and turn the control knob to the power setting you wish to use.
USING THE GRILL - ELECTRIC Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used - young children should be kept away. A grill pan handle can be purchased as an optional extra from our spares department quoting the part numbers below. Handle - 082283705 The speed of grilling can be controlled by adjusting the grill setting or by selecting a higher or lower shelf position. For toasting, and for grilling foods such as bacon, sausages or steaks, use a higher shelf position.
USING THE TOP OVEN - ELECTRIC (if fitted) When you are cooking keep children away from the vicinity of the oven. Caution: The top element gets extremely hot when in use, so take extra care to avoid touching it. The top oven is a conventional oven. Note: The top oven is not controlled by the programmer (if fitted). To turn on the top oven Turn the temperature control knob until the required temperature is selected.
USING THE TOP OVEN - ELECTRIC (if fitted) TOP OVEN BAKING GUIDE Cooking temperatures Cooking times 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. These times are based on cooking in a preheated oven.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Accessible parts may be hot when the oven is used. Young children should be kept away. To switch on the oven Turn the oven control knob(s) to the required setting. The red thermostat indicator (if fitted) will come on until the selected temperature is reached and then go off; it will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Slow cooking ( Setting or 100°C) • Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking. • Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry weighing more than 2¼kg/4½lb. • Preheat the oven to 170°C and cook for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven control to or 100°C (slow cook setting) for the remainder of the cooking time. • Slow cooking times will be about 3 times as long as conventional cooking times.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC There is no need to interchange dishes onto different shelves part way through cooking, as with a conventional oven. To help the air circulate freely Position the shelves evenly within the oven and maintain a clearance from the oven roof and base. If more than one cooking dish or baking tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a gap of at least 25mm between the items themselves and the oven interior.
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC 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 MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC 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 MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC Roasting guide Notes: 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. • When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing. • For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time.
USING THE CLOCK/PROGRAMMER-ELEC(if fitted) THE ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMMERS There are two types of programmer covered in this section - push button & touch control. Both programmers have the same symbol variants & functions but may vary in their method of operation. The push button programmer Symbol Symbol - Symbols on the LED display.

The smooth action also reduces the likelihood of fat, or food, spillage, and gives you extra security.
CLEANING ELECTRIC HOB • You can restore the hotplates by using a solid plate cleaner but take care to avoid the red spots on elements. • To prime: Switch on each element in turn for a short while (with no pan on it) at a medium - high setting.
