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. Do not allow young children to play with any part of the packaging. After installation, please dispose of the packaging with due regard to safety and the environment, your local authority can arrange this. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY DURING OPERATION BEFORE INSTALLATION Do not use this cooker if it is in contact with water. Never operate it with wet hands.
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 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 RATING PLATE To move the cooker, open the main oven door, and lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the oven compartment. This is situated on the front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the top cavity door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (where applicable). This is a type X appliance, which means it is freestanding and can be fitted with cabinets on one or both sides.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR COOKER The following items of grill/oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker. We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – o 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.

THE CERAMIC HOB CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE COOKER IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE COOKER IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE. USING THE HOB · To operate the hotplates, turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting. · The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number the coolest setting.
· 5. Double frying chips. 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 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 grill control in either direction. · The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest the coolest setting. · Setting 5 represents the grill on Full. 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. 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. · Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.
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. 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.
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 Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.

DEFROST FEATURE USES OF DEFROST FEATURE Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2 hours. 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.
CARE AND CLEANING ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH AND ALLOW THE COOKER TO COOL BEFORE 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 TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS CLEANING MATERIALS 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.
TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR WHITE AND SILVER MARKS CLEANING COOKER THE OUTSIDE OF THE 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. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Regularly wipe over the control panel, splashback, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL COMPARTMENTS OVEN AND HINTS AND TIPS The Stayclean surfaces on the rear oven panel and sides should not be cleaned manually.
