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. If the cooker is to be placed on a base, measures must be taken to prevent the cooker slipping from the base.
Do not leave the handle in position when grilling as it will become hot. Do not leave utensils containing foodstuffs, e.g. fat or oil in or on the appliance in case it is inadvertently switched ON. 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. Ensure that you support the grill pan when it is in the withdrawn or partially withdrawn position.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 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 top oven door. To move the cooker, open the main oven door and lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the compartment. The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.
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. GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR COOKER We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COOKER THE CONTROL PANEL A B FEATURES A B C D E 10 - E C Fan Oven Temperature Control Fan Oven Indicator Neon Top Oven/Grill Control Top Oven 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 THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE 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. Setting 3 represents the grill on Full. At settings 1 and 2 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. 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 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 material and finish of the baking trays and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.
THE MAIN FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN OVEN l Turn the fan oven temperature control to the PREHEATING required setting. 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.
HINTS AND TIPS l l l l l Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves 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.
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 MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, 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 should also be avoided.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRID AND OVEN SHELVES DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or scourers on the outside of the cooker as some of the finishes are painted and damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and washing up liquid . 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.
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: l Household detergents and bleaches l Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans l Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads l Chemical oven pads or aerosols l Rust removers l Bath/Sink stain removers CLEANING BETWEEN THE FAN OVEN OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.
