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 and serial numbers on the back
cover from the rating plate. This is situated on the
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.
To move the cooker, open the main oven door and
lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect
it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging
and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for
advice.
This is a type Y appliance which means it is
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one
or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage
may occur.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the cooker is
required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to
prevent overheating and deterioration.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.
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.

(which must only
be used in the grill
compartment)
During this period an unpleasant odour may be
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window
for ventilation.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance when opening the oven door to
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.

If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.

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.
(2560S WHITE ROSE)
(2590S GOURMET)
The size of the base of the saucepan should be the
same or up to 2.5cm/1inch larger than the hotplate. If
the base is too small, energy will be wasted,
boilovers will also be more difficult to deal with as
spillage will fall directly onto the hotplate.
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 represents the coolest
setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the
quantity and type of food to be cooked
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
To check the flatness of the saucepan, place a ruler
across the pan base, hold at eye level and look for
light showing. There should be very little or no light
visible between the ruler and the pan base.
HINTS AND TIPS
Avoid the use of decorative covers as they can
cause condensation to form on the hotplates
which may lead to deterioration.
Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans as they can lead to sticking and
burning of food.
To prolong the life of the hotplates:
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket
Never use an asbestos mat

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.

DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool
for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
PRESERVING
DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the
hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently
switched ON.
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of
the hob trim.
1. Preparing the food
2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be
no more than one third full when all the
ingredients have been added. It is better to use
two pans rather than overfill one, or use half
quantities.
Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and
breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with
batter coated foods as they will stick.
2. Amount of oil
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full
of oil.
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally
good flavour.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil
It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the
temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small
cube of bread into the oil which should brown in
just under a minute if the oil is at the correct
temperature of 190°C/375°F.
5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not
completely dissolved before bringing jam to the
boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting
properties and colour of the jam.
4. Cooking the food
6. To test jam for setting:
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add
too much food at once or the temperature of the
oil will be reduced and may result in soggy,
greasy food.
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.
If a jam thermometer is not available, remove
pan from heat, place sample of jam on a cold
dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen
food storage compartment of a refrigerator).
When cold, it will crinkle and hold the mark of a
finger run through it, if it is at setting point.
Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the
surface so will not brown on the upperside if not
turned. Once cooked, drain the food on
absorbent paper.
5. Double frying chips
7. The scum should be removed as soon as
possible after setting, but marmalade should be
allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel
rising.
Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the
chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal
the outside. Remove the chips from the oil.
Increase the temperature of the oil to
190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the
chips.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

THE GRILL
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE
KEPT AWAY.
SELECTING THE GRILL (2560S WHITE ROSE)
Turn the grill control to the required setting. The
highest number represents the hottest setting
and the lowest the coolest setting.
SELECTING THE GRILL (2590S GOURMET)
The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes, the
centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.
Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or
anticlockwise for the centre section only. The
highest number represents the hottest setting and
the lowest the coolest setting.
THE GRILL PAN AND SERVERY
The grill pan fits into a wirework support known as
the servery shown below.
The outer grill element may appear to glow
slightly brighter than the inner element. This is
quite normal.
THINGS TO NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.
To tend the food during grilling, the servery should be
withdrawn to the stop position using the tool provided
and/or oven gloves.
The grill pan servery must only be used in
conjunction with the grill pan in the grill compartment.
16
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
The grill pan servery can be fully withdrawn from the
cooker and rested on a heat resistant work surface to
serve the food.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before cooking. Adjust the heat setting
and the shelf as necessary during cooking.
HINTS AND TIPS
Food should be thoroughly dried before
grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean
meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted
butter to keep them moist during cooking.
Turn foods over during the cooking time as
required.
(Model 2590S only)

THE TOP OVEN (2590S GOURMET ONLY)
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 small 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 80-100°C on the top oven control dial.
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN
Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be
cooked in the main oven. However, they may be
cooked on a shelf placed on the base of the top
oven provided there is sufficient room for air
circulation around the food.
Turn the top oven temperature control to the
required setting.
NOTE
The top oven indicator neon will glow until the oven
has reached the desired temperature and then go
out. It will then cycle ON and OFF showing that the
oven temperature is being maintained.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
The shelf 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.
There should always be at least 2.5 cm (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.
Back of the Oven
DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven
base as it becomes very hot and damage may
occur.
Straight Rods
Frame
HINTS AND TIPS
Most cooking should be carried out using a oven
shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
18
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc.,
place the tins or baking trays centrally on the
shelf directly below the element.
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
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.
DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking
tray as this will increase base browning of the
food.
Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations given in the oven cooking
charts on pages 24 and 25.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.

the oven is the hottest, the bottom the coolest.
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.
Avoid placing food too close to the side element
covers to prevent scorching.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN (2590S GOURMET ONLY)
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. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 25. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking on three shelves.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
Turn the oven temperature control to the required
setting.
TO FIT THE MAIN 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

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.
The roasting temperatures and times given in the
chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight
adjustments may be required to allow for personal
requirements and the shape and texture of the meat.
However, lower temperatures and longer cooking
times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger
joints,
The use of excessively high temperatures can
cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to
reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the
recommendations given in the oven cooking
chart on page 25.
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning
uncover for the last 30-60 min cooking time.
Do not use the servery shelf from the grill in the
main oven.

DEFROST FEATURE (2590S GOURMET ONLY)
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed
or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be
thawed in 1 - 2 hours.
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.
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.
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly
in the fridge. However, this process can be
accelerated by using the defrost function.
ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE
THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
SELECTING DEFROST
HINTS AND TIPS
Turn the main oven temperature control to the
defrost setting.
Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
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 may cycle ON and OFF periodically during
defrosting to maintain
temperature, inside the oven.
a
steady room
THINGS TO NOTE
Care must always be taken when handling foods
in the home. Always follow the basic rules of
food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial
growth and cross contamination when defrosting,
preparing, cooking, cooling and freezing foods.
The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.
DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it
is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge.

CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY AND ALLOW THE COOKER TO COOL
BEFORE CLEANING
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-
stick saucepans with 'Jif' or 'Flash' cream cleaner.
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. '4 Hob' or use a
'Minky' Hotplate Cleaning Cloth.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF. Pour
a very small amount of oil onto kitchen paper, apply
the paper to the hotplate and wipe off any excess oil.
Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.
CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS
In order to maintain the appearance of your cooker'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.
To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating of
'4 Hob' or use a Minky cloth following the
manufacturers instructions.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER
THINGS TO NOTE
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, splashback,
oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and
liquid detergent.
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 effect the performance of the
hotplate.
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE
Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean
damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for
a few minutes to thoroughly dry.
FOR HEAVY SOILAGE
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream
cleaner e.g. 'Jif' or 'Flash' or a powder cleaner e.g.
'Ajax' on the hotplate and trims. Follow the circular
grooved pattern on the hotplate when cleaning.
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly. Dry as for
normal soilage.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL
AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A
SAFETY HAZARD
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with
'Ajax' powder cleaner, 'Jif' or Flash cream cleaner or
a Brillo pad. You may have to rub hard for several
minutes.
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly with a damp
cloth. Switch to a low or medium setting for a few
minutes until the hotplate is thoroughly dry.
CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS
The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured
during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel
cleaner , e.g. 'Shiny Sinks' will help maintain a bright
appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as
'Bar Keepers Friend' may be used regularly.

CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR,
GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID, SERVERY
AND OVEN SHELVES
HINTS AND TIPS
Manual cleaning of Stayclean IS NOT
recommended. Damage will occur if oven
sprays or abrasives of any kind are used.
All removable parts can be washed in the
dishwasher.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surface may occur in time. This
does not affect the Stayclean properties in
any way.
The grill pan and grill deflector can be cleaned using
a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan
grid, servery and oven shelves should be cleaned
using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water
will make cleaning easier .
A good time to allow the oven to run on is after
the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn
the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour
or so. It is important NOT to allow a build-up of
soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean from
working.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN/GRILL
COMPARTMENTS
The Stayclean surfaces inside the main oven
(2560S) and top and main ovens (2590S) should not
be cleaned manually. See "Care of Stayclean
Surfaces".
Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an
increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
The vitreous enamel oven base and grill
compartment (2560S only) can be cleaned using
normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with
care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are
followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat
before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during
roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean
surfaces and must not come into contact with
elements as this may cause damage.
It is NOT necessary to add water to the meat tin
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from
the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking - even at normal temperatures, as well
as causing condensation.
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow
extra browning if required. Some large joints and
turkeys especially benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before
the outside is over-browned.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
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.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB
(2590S GOURMET ONLY)
The type of bulb required is a 300C 25 watt small
Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1
(Available through the Tricity Bendix service
centres).
CAUTION: Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply before replacing the bulb.
Open the door and remove the shelves to enable
easy access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat
blade screwdriver between the oven side and the
glass which covers the bulb.
Support the glass with your hand and prise out
sufficiently to release the glass cover. Unscrew the
bulb in an anticlockwise direction until it is possible to
remove the bulb with ease.
Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise direction
until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the flange is
pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the glass by
pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the bulb
assembly.
Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply
and adjust the time of day and clock, as necessary.
