PREFACE Dear Customer, Thank you for buying a Tricity Bendix cooker. 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 product. 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. DURING OPERATION Do not use this cooker if it is in contact with water. Never operate it with wet hands. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY This cooker is designed to be operated by adults. Young children must not be allowed to tamper with the cooker or play with the controls. BEFORE INSTALLATION During use the cooker becomes Hot.
Do not leave utensils containing foodstuffs, e.g. fat or oil in or on the cooker in case it is inadvertently switched on. Take care to follow the recommendations given for tending the food when grilling. Do not leave the grill pan handle in position when grilling as it will become hot. 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.
INTRODUCTION WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED The cable must be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below. RATING PLATE Record the model, product 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 top oven door. To move the cooker, open the fan oven door, and lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the compartment.
Note: Vapours from the oven vent may in time cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the cooker. THE COOLING CONTROLS FAN FOR THE The cooling fan will always come on when the grill and the top oven are switched on. If they are only used for a short period of time the fan will switch off when the controls are turned off.

THE SEALED HOTPLATES BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME Turn the control knob to a medium/high setting and allow the hotplate to heat uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5 minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates and makes it more resistant to normal use. A harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates. · To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting.
6. Frying temperatures DEEP FAT FRYING SPECIAL FRYING NOTE: For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan one third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the unfortunate event of a fire, switch the cooker OFF at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames. DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
THE GRILL USES OF THE GRILL CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. SELECTING THE GRILL · To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the Top Oven/Grill control to the required setting. · The Top Oven/Grill neon will illuminate. It may turn on and off during cooking. · At lower settings the grill may turn on and off over time and you may prefer to use these settings for keeping food warm.
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure that the cut out on the underside of the handle bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf. · Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking. · The food should be turned over during cooking as required.
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 on one level and for 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. temperature setting of 90°C – 100°C on the top oven control dial.
HINTS AND TIPS · All cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners. · Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning. · 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.
THE MAIN FAN OVEN USES OF THE MAIN FAN OVEN PREHEATING The main 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. Shelf positions 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.

DEFROSTING Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2 hours. USES OF DEFROST FEATURE This fan 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 filed gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc. A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours.
CARE AND CLEANING ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH AND ALLOW THE COOKER TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING. CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel cleaner, e.g. ‘Shiny Sinks’ will help maintain a bright appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as ‘Bar Keepers Friend’ may be used regularly.
CLEANING INSIDE COMPARTMENTS THE OVEN/GRILL 3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand. The vitreous enamel coating in the fan oven / top oven and grill compartment can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards. 4.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING? We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your cooker before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a simple one which you can solve yourself without the expense of a Service call. The oven temperature is too high or too low: * Check that the recommended temperatures are being used (see page 19). Be prepared to adjust up the temperature up or down by 10°C to achieve the results you want.
