GETTING TO KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE THE CONTROL PANEL A B C D E F FEATURES A B C D E F G - Timer Main Fan Oven Temperature Control Main Oven Indicator Neon Top Oven Temperature Control Top Oven Indicator Neon Selector Control Hotplate Controls 10 G
THE TIMER Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2.00pm is shown as 1400. Cookpot symbol 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 appliance 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 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 CERAMIC HOB CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE. USING THE HOB · To operate the hotplates turn the control knob in either direction to vary the heat setting. · The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number the coolest setting.
· To prolong the life of the hotplates:· Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket. · Never use an asbestos mat. · Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan. · Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning. · Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to keep the hob looking like new. · If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.
THE DUAL 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 for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. SELECTING THE GRILL · Select the grill function for full grill. · Select the grill function for centre section only.
HINTS AND TIPS · · GRILLING CHART In order to become acquainted with the performance of the Dual grill, it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling. FOOD SHELF GRILL TIME (mins in total) Bacon Rashers 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 on one level and for small 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 80°C - 100°C on the top oven control dial.
HINTS AND TIPS · DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur. Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be cooked in the main oven. However, they may be cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food. · The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food.
THE MAIN FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which circulates in 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.
HINTS AND TIPS · · DO NOT place dishes or 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. · The use of excessively high temperatures can cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the recommendations given in the oven cooking chart on pages 21 and 22. Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON.
OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

ROASTING 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.
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 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. A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours.
CARE AND CLEANING If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the cleaning agents below may be used temporarily: a) Cif Cream Cleaner b) Baking Soda BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE, ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY. TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS 1. Bar Keepers Friend may be used to clean off more stubborn stains or to remove discolourations. It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for several minutes. 2.
HINTS AND TIPS CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE: · Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins. · Ensure saucepans are large enough accommodate food to avoid boil overs. · If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they occur, but take care to avoid steam burns. · Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the hob.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with the elements or the door seal as this may cause damage. · It is not necessary to add water to a meat tin when roasting. The water and the fat juices from the joint create excessive splattering during cooking even at normal temperatures as well as causing condensation. · Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS 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 After Sales Service who will be pleased to advise further. The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS 1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door. 2.
