Before using the appliance Rating plate This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable). The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate. Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee.
The sealed hotplates Before using the hotplates for the first time Turn the control knob to a 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 Using the hob • Turn the control knob in either direction to vary the heat setting.
The grill CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. Using the grill 4 2 5 • 3 0 • To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the grill control in either direction. The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting. At lower settings the grill may turn on and off over time and you may prefer to use these settings for keeping food warm.
Ensure the handle is properly located. To remove the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to remove from the bracket. Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handle. Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

The fan oven The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. 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 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.
To fit the fan oven shelves 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. • Hints and tips Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards.

Defrost feature This 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. Using defrost feature • When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon may come ON. It will stay ON until the oven reaches room temperature and then go OFF.
• It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2 hours. • A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process. • Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be thawed using the defrost function.
Care and cleaning Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down. Cleaning materials Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives must also be avoided. Cleaning the outside of the appliance Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.
Cleaning the sealed hotplates and hotplate trims In order to maintain the appearance of your appliance's sealed hotplates and trims, you are advised to use the recommended cleaning agents daily. If you do not allow spillages to burn on they will be much easier to clean off. Things to note The red spot in the centre of the hotplates may be removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is not a fault and does not affect the performance of the hotplates.
Hints and tips Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces. To carry out the cleaning cycle remove the oven shelves and set the oven to 220°C. It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish. Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
Something not working Please carry out the following checks on your appliance before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a simple one that you can solve yourself without the expense of a service call. In-guarantee customers should make sure that the checks have been made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or electrical breakdown. Please note that proof of purchase is required for in-guarantee service calls.
