With our 80 years experience in developing and manufacturing the very best in U.K. cookers, you can be assured that you have purchased a hard working, reliable, quality cooker. In addition Tricity Bendix cookers comply with British Standard safety and performance requirements. They have been approved by BEAB (British Electrotechnical Approvals Board) and are covered by a 12 month parts and labour guarantee.
SAFETY THESE WARNINGS ARE PROVIDED IN THE INTERESTS OF YOUR SAFETY. ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THEM ALL BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE COOKER. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR COOKER This cooker is heavy and care must be taken when moving it. Ensure that all packaging, both inside and outside the cooker has been removed before the cooker is used. Do not try to move the cooker by pulling the door handle. Refer to installation instructions.
Cookers and hobs become very hot, and retain their heat for a long period of time after use. Children should be kept well away from the cooker until it has cooled. Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is in the withdrawn or partially withdrawn position. Ensure that all vents are left unobstructed to ensure ventilation of the oven cavity. You must ensure that the grill control is in the 'OFF' position when the timer control has been set for automatic cooking.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW GETTING THINGS READY WARNINGS: CHOICE OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION l l This cooker must be installed by a qualified electrician/competent person. Safety may be impaired if installation is not carried out in accordance with these instructions. l l This cooker must be earthed. Do not remove the screws from the earth tab extending from the oven mains terminal block (Fig. 8).
ii) By connecting the cooker point to the hob and then connecting the hob to the oven. Provided that the hob manufacturer permits it, connect the oven to the hob and the hob to the cooker point using the same cabling as described in (a) above. Check the hob terminal block is large enough to take two cables and is of suitable rating. If not b) i) on page 8 must be used. See Fig. 2. NOTE: 13 Amp cable is not suitable for connecting this application. Fig.

HOW TO FINISH UNPACKING l l l l Place packed cooker next to the cabinet in which it will be installed. Carefully score down from each end of the cable sheathing along the length of the bare earth wire (if a cut was made along the length of the live and neutral wires, it might cut into their sheathing) to the cuts already made. Remove the cooker packing except for bottom tray which should be left in position until the cooker is ready to be fitted into its cabinet.
l Lift cover and remove screw from cable clamp. See Fig. 7. l l Cable Clamping Block Fig. 7 Clamp the mains cable securely ensuring 5mm of the outer insulation is inside the terminal block and that the wires are not taught but not so slack as to cause any fouling. See Fig. 8. Place fuse/miniature circuit breaker in circuit and switch on at mains. CONNECTING TO A HOB OR COOKER POINT Feed the cable through the cabinet and arrange to route the cable away from the cooker which may become hot.
FITTING INTO THE CABINET IMPORTANT: Ensure that the oven is switched off at the wall before any further work is carried out. Using a tape measure establish the internal width of the cabinet. Refer to page 9 if greater than 565mm. l l l Position the cooker in front of the cabinet. See Fig. 9. Take out all oven furniture before installation to reduce the weight you need to lift. The oven door should be taped up to keep it closed whilst lifting. Fig.

RATING PLATE COOKWARE Record the model and serial numbers on the back cover of this instruction book from the rating plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen upon opening the oven door. 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.
THE SHELF POSITIONS GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE Recommended shelf positions have been shown in the cooking chart on page 30. The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker. If not fitted correctly the shelf will lie at an angle and the safety stop will not be effective. To ensure that the shelf has the correct side uppermost, the wire stringers, which make up the shelf, should lie on top of the surrounding frame.

THE GRILL USES OF THE 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 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. SELECTING THE GRILL l l l Set the selector to dual grill. THINGS TO NOTE Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or anticlockwise for the centre section only.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE HINTS AND TIPS The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. l To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button. l Ensure the handle is positively located.

THE FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN The oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven, the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. 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 find you need to add an extra 5-10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
TO FIT THE OVEN SHELVES l The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. l Back of the Oven Straight Rods It is recommended that when baking larger quantities the shelf positions should be evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight increase in cooking time may be necessary.
THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN This function uses the top and lower elements to give single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This form of cooking gives you the oppurtunity to cook without the fan in operation. SELECTING THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN l l Turn the selector to Conventional Oven.
l l l l Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning easier. Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the conventional oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur. For faster preheating use the fan oven function to preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes out, then switch the selector to the conventional oven setting. Single level cooking gives best results.
THE ZONED OVEN USES OF THE ZONED OVEN When the Zoned Oven is selected the top oven element operates in conjunction with the fan with effect that the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. As there is a difference of up to 30°C between the top and bottom of the oven this feature is especially useful for dishes requiring different temperatures at the same time, making it ideal for cooking a complete meal on two shelves. SELECTING THE ZONED OVEN l l Turn the selector to Zoned Oven.
l l l Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelves and that there is sufficient room around the dishes to allow for maximum air circulation. The use of enamelware or dark, heavy or non-stick utensils will help to increase base browning for dishes such as Yorkshire Pudding, Plate Pies etc. For faster preheating use the Fan Oven function to preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes out, then switch to the Zoned Oven following the times, temperatures and shelf positions recommended.
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. NOTE: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.
THERMAL GRILLING USES OF THERMAL GRILLING Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven fan operate together, circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and turn food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed.
HINTS AND TIPS l l 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. l l l Turn food over during cooking, as necessary. 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. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly onto the trivet in the grill pan, if preferred.

DEFROST FEATURE USES OF DEFROST FEATURE This function enables you to defrost most foods faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. 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. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 - 2 hours.
HINTS AND TIPS l l l Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible, and turn it over half way through the defrosting process. The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days. DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge.
HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD 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. 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). MEAT 1.
