To meet the relevant standards of
Domestic cooking appliances, all the
glass panels on this appliance are
toughened to meet the fragmentation
requirements of BS 3193. This ensures
that, in the unlikely event that a panel
breaks, it does so into small fragments
to minimise the risk of injury.
Whilst every care is taken to eliminate
burrs and raw edges from this product,
please take care when handling - we
recommend the use of protective
gloves during installation.
Note: When removing the appliance
from the base tray packaging care
should be taken to ensure the outer
frame trim is not damaged.
Main oven only - remove the loose
oven back - unscrew the 4 securing
screws (one at each corner).
Please note that all dimensions and
sizes given are nominal - some variation

2. (i) When installed in a typical
600mm deep built in housing
unit, the false back should be
removed from the housing
unit, to provide the necessary
depth for installation.
Please take care when handling, using
or cleaning all glass panels as any
damage to the surfaces or edges may
result in the glass breaking without
warning or apparent cause at a later
date. Should any glass panel be
damaged, we strongly recommend
that it is replaced immediately.

to the growth of food poisoning
organisms in warm conditions. If the
weather is hot, either take care to
ensure that food is not left standing in
a warm oven, or avoid using the
automatic cooking facility.
To d e fro st frozen foods, turn the
oven control to the defrost position,
place the food in the centre of the oven
and close the door.
❍ Food is placed in a cold oven so
you will need to add about 10 -
15 minutes onto the cooking time
to allow for the oven to reach the
selected temperature.
If you are used to cooking with a
conventional oven, you will find a
number of difference to cooking with a
fan oven, which will require a different
approach:
To co o l foods after cooking, prior to
refrigerating or freezing, turn the oven
control to the defrost position, and
open the door.
❍ Wine or beer may ferment, and
cream may curdle during the delay
period, so it is best to add these
ingredients just before serving.
There are no zones of heat in a
fan oven, the convection fan at the
back of the oven ensures an even
temperature throughout the oven; this
makes it ideal for batch baking - eg;
when planning a party or stocking the
freezer, as all item will be cooked
within the same length of time.
Be sa fe
❍ Potatoes should be parboiled or
brushed with oil to prevent
discolouration during the delay
period.
Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this
method. Do not defrost larger joints of
meat and poultry over 2kg / 4lb using
this method.
❍ Meat can be brushed with oil to
Cooking times will generally be shorter
- by between 5 - 10 minutes per hour -
than those times given in recipe books
for conventional cooking.
Never pla ce uncooked food for
defrosting next to cooked food which
is to be cooled, as this can lead to
cross contamination.
prevent it drying.
❍ Lemon juice can be added to
certain fruits and vegetables such
a s a pples, pea rs, turnips a nd
parsnips to prevent discolouration
during the delay period.
We recommend preheating the oven
for frozen of chilled food, and also for
soufflés, batter mixtures and yeast
mixtures. Preheat the oven until the
indicator light switches off for the first
time, this will take between 5 to 15
minutes depending on the temperature
selected.
Defrosting meat, poultry and fish can
be accelerated using this method, but
make sure they are completely thawed
before cooking thoroughly.
Place meat and poultry on a trivet in a
meat tin.
De fro stin g tim e s
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or
meat - eg; fish fillets, prawns and mince,
will take approximately 1 - 2 hours.
There is no flavour transference in a
fan oven, which means you can cook
strong smelling foods such as fish, at
the same time as mild foods - eg; milk
puddings.
Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
A medium sized casserole or stew will
take approximately 3 - 4 hours.

❍ W a rm food should never be
placed in the oven if there is a
delay period. Stews prepared by
frying the meat and vegetables

possible, or refrigerated prior to
placing in the oven.
The cooking times given below are only
approximate, because the size and type
of cooking dish will influence cooking
times, as will personal preference.

dishes to be cooked while you are out
of the house, to be ready for when you

as close as possible to, or just after
your anticipated return so food is not
left standing in a warm oven.
O ve n sh e lve s
The times given in the following guide
are based on a preheated oven.
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand facing up.
Because a fan oven has an even
temperature throughout the oven, no
shelf positions ha ve been given,
and there is no need to interchange
dishes onto different shelves pa rt

possible, do not leave the oven
light on when the oven is set for

N o te s:
It should be remembered that ovens
can vary over time, therefore cooking
times can vary, making it difficult to be
precise when baking fruit cakes.
Roa sting turkey perfectly involves
cooking two different types of meat -
the delicate light breast meat, which
must not be allowed to dry out, and
the darker leg meat, which takes
longer to cook.
The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the
size and age of the bird will influence
cooking times as will the shape of a
joint and the proportion of the bone.
❍ When cooking stuffed meat or
poultry calculate the cooking time
from the total weight of the meat
plus the stuffing.
It is necessary, therefore, to test the
cake before removal from the oven.
Use a fine warmed skewer inserted
into the centre of the cake. If the
skewer comes out clean, then the cake
is cooked.
❍ For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to
the calculated cooking time.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. For large
joints it is advisable to thaw overnight.
The turkey must be roa sted long
enough for the legs to cook, so
frequent basting is necessary. The breast
meat can be covered once browned.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time
required depends on the size of the
bird - eg; a large turkey may take up
to 48 hours to thaw.
❍ Smaller joints weighing less than

❍ Do not attempt to make Christmas
cakes larger than the oven can cope
with; you should allow at least
25mm (1 inch) space between the
oven walls and the tin.
❍ Turkey should be roasted at 170 -
190˚C for 20 minutes per 1lb,
plus 20 minutes unless packaging
advises otherwise.
minutes per 450g (1lb) extra
cooking time.
❍ Position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry will be in the
centre of the oven.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively,
to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes
or other vegetables can be roasted
around the meat / poultry.
❍ The turkey can be open roasted -
breast side down - for half of the
cook time, and then turned over for
the remainder of the cooking time.
❍ Always follow the temperatures

is cleaned after open roasting.
❍ To protect a very rich fruit cake
during cooking, tie 2 layers of
brown paper around the tin.
❍ If the turkey is stuffed, add 5
minutes per 1lb to the cooking time.
❍ We recommend that the cake tin is
not stood on layers of brown
paper, as this can hinder effective
circulation of air.
❍ If roasting turkey covered with
foil, add 5 minutes per 1lb to the
cooking time.

To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
fine skewer into the thickest part of the
thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey
is cooked. If the juices are still pink,
the turkey will need longer cooking.

rich fruit cakes unless specified in
the recipe.
