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. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION This appliance is heavy and care must be taken when moving it. Ensure that all packaging, both inside and outside the appliance, has been removed before the appliance is used. Do not try to move the appliance by pulling the door handles.
Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food in the oven. Similarly always use oven gloves to remove and replace the grill pan handle when grilling. Recommendations given on page 15. 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 appliance until it has cooled. GENERAL Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is in the withdrawn or partially withdrawn position.
INTRODUCTION WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED RATING PLATE The cable should be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below. 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 appliance and can be seen upon opening the oven door. The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob. THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS It is important to ensure that the appliance is level after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the front of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors. 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.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COOKER THE CONTROL PANEL A B FEATURES A B C D E 10 - E C Main Oven Temperature Control Main Oven Indicator Neon Top Oven/Grill Control Top Oven/Grill Indicator Neon Hotplate Controls D
ELECTRONIC MINUTE MINDER 1= (-) DECREASE CONTROL & MINUTE MINDER SETTING BUTTON 2= (+) INCREASE CONTROL ( ) COOKPOT SYMBOL ( ) CLOCK SETTING SYMBOL ( ) MINUTE MINDER SYMBOL 1 2 Fig.1 The electronic minute minder can indicate the time of day, operate as a minute minder and it can be used to time and switch off the main oven. 1. SET THE TIME OF DAY When the electricity supply is first switched ON, the display will flash 0.00. See Fig. 1. Fig.2 Press buttons (1) and (2) together.
2. THE MINUTE MINDER Fig.6 IMPORTANT The minute minder can be used to time a set cooking period. At the end of the cook time the minute minder will automatically switch off the main oven if in use. The minute minder gives an audible reminder at the end of any period of cooking up to 23 hours and 59 minutes. To set press button (1) and the display will read 0. 00, see Fig. 6. Fig.7 Release button (1) and press and hold button (2).
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. l l To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting.
DEEP FAT FRYING 6. Frying temperatures Celsius Fahrenheit Scale (oC) Scale (oF) 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 OFF at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.
THE GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. SELECTING THE GRILL l l l To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the top oven/grill control clockwise so that '0' on the control knob lines up with setting 1, 2 or 3. THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. Setting 3 represents the grill on Full.
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. To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to tend the food during cooking, or the carrier shelf can be lifted away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant work surface.
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. Use a temperature setting of 90-100°C on the top oven control dial.
l l l l l l 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., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf directly below the element. DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.
THE MAIN FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN 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. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés, etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. COOKING TEMPERATURES Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking.
TO FIT THE MAIN 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 Oven 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.
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.

DEFROST FEATURE 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 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.
CARE AND CLEANING ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH AND ALLOW THE COOKER TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING. CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL CLEANING MATERIALS AFTER CLEANING Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer. To maintain the appearance of the hotplates occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or commercial restorative agent e.g.
CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID AND OVEN SHELVES HINTS AND TIPS l All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher. The grill pan and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning easier.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS 1. Holding the oven door glass with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door. 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. Loosen the two screws using a pozidrive screwdriver. 3.
