INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS COOKER 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 from the rating plate. This is situated on
the lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen
upon opening the top oven door.
REAR VIEW
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is
given on the rating plate.
To move the cooker, open the fan oven door, and lift
the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
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 cooker 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.
Ensure that the cooker is standing level.
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.
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.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the cooker is
required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position.
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.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.
The recommended cross-section area is six square
millimetres (6.00mm²).

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time
cause discoloration of wallcoverings behind the
cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to
tile behind the cooker.
The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill
or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled.
Note: The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the top oven or grill have been used and at
what temperature. It may not run on where the grill or
top oven has been used for a short time or at low
temperatures. Do not switch the cooker off at its
power point until the cooling fan has cooled the
cooker down.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on.
The neons also indicate when the set temperature
has been reached. They will turn on and off during
use to show that the temperature is being
maintained.
It is important to ensure that the cooker is level after
installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the cooker to
accommodate uneven floors.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and re-set following the
instructions for the required setting.
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.
COOKWARE
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.
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm
(12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.
ABOUT 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 cooker 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 cooker, 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.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces
including the vent at the rear of the hob. See note at
the top of this page.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
cooker should be securely fixed to the wall.

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
Excessive switching may however be caused by the
use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which
is smaller than the heated area. If excessive
switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.
For single hotplates, turn the control knob in
either direction to vary the heat setting. The
highest number represents the hottest setting
and the lowest the coolest setting. Choose a
setting appropriate to the quantity and type of
food to be cooked.
HINTS AND TIPS
Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
heated areas. This will reduce the risk of
scratches and metal marks from saucepans with
aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily
cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn
on.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended. The saucepan base should be
approximately the same size as the cooking area, a
base diameter of up to 225mm (9") may be used on
a 180mm (7") heated area.
Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to
remove edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
Avoid using thin badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases
are available and do comply with the above
recommendations.
NOTE
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to
switch ON and OFF when higher heat settings are
being used. This is due to a safety device which
prevents the glass from overheating. Some switching
ON and OFF when cooking at high temperatures,
e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal, causes no
damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.
To prolong the life of hotplates:-
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.
14
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Ensure that hob and saucepans are clean and
dry before the start of cooking to reduce
cleaning.
5. Double frying chips
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.
Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to
keep the hob looking like new.
If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.
jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the
hob before it sets and becomes hard
otherwise damage to the hob will occur.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

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.
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.
1. Preparing the food
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.
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
2. Amount of oil
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
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.
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.
6. To test jam for setting:
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.
4. Cooking the food
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 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

THE GRILL
USES OF THE DUAL GRILL
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD
BE KEPT AWAY.
The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the whole area of the grill can be used or, for economy purposes the
centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.
SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL
Select the grill function for full grill
Select the grill function for centre section only
Turn the temperature control knob to the right as
far as it will go. This is the hottest setting.
To use the grill at lower settings, turn the
temperature control knob so that 110°C or 150°C
on the knob lines up with the off dot on the panel.
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not
THINGS TO NOTE
necessary to remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
The cooling fan will operate in conjunction with
the grill. For more details on the operation of the
cooling fan see page 9.
NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.
If the grill door is accidentally closed during grilling a
safety device incorporated in the cooker will cut out
the grill.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill.
The outer grill element may appear to glow slightly
brighter than the inner element. This is quite normal.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the
cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over
the top of the grill pan.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right
and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill
pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump
on the grill pan.

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 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.

oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will turn ON and OFF showing that
the oven temperature is being maintained.

HINTS AND TIPS
DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly
onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage may occur.
Most cooking should be carried out using an
oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be
cooked in the main oven. However, they may be
cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the
top oven provided there is sufficient room for air
circulation around the food.
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.
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
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 on page 22.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.
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.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven
and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fan
oven cooking are:
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 chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 22. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20° - 25°C for your own recipes
using a conventional oven.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

HINTS AND TIPS
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.
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.
DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly on
the oven base as it interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to base burning: use the
lower shelf position. However, non critical dishes
may be cooked on the oven base when more
space is required.
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 see page 22.

DEFROSTING
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 main 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.
ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE
THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING.
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly
in the fridge. However, this process can be
accelerated by using the defrost function.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
SELECTING DEFROST
Turn the main oven temperature control to the
defrost setting.
HINTS AND TIPS
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 turn ON and OFF periodically during
defrosting to maintain steady room temperature.
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, 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
BEFORE CLEANING THE COOKER, ALWAYS
ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE
COOKER DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the
cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:
a) Jif 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.
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for
several minutes.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided. Multi-surface anti-bacterial
cleaning products should not be used on the ceramic
hob or on the surrounding trims.
Use a plastic pad specially for non - stick

ES
CLEANING THE BRASS PLATED HANDL
(Where applicable)
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE BRASS
PLATED FINISH.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB
TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE
We strongly recommend the use of a ceramic hob
scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to
remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar
solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent
damage.
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning.
It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to
prevent soilage being burnt on.
Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the
ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the
cleaning agents recommended.
1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle
of 30° to remove as much soilage as possible.
DAILY CLEANING
Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If
soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much
easier to clean off.
3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off
as directed above.
1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre
of each area to be cleaned.
TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR
WHITE AND SILVER MARKS
These marks sometimes give the impression of
being in or underneath the hob glass. They can
almost always be removed provided they have not
become excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions
under 'To Remove more Stubborn Marks' above.
2. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad
made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub
vigorously until all marks are removed. This may
take a few minutes.
3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part
water to three parts Cream of Tartar and leave on
the discoloured areas overnight. The marks should
be easily removable the next day provided they have
not been excessively burnt on. The paste should be
thoroughly washed off afterwards.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER
HINTS AND TIPS
TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials eg Hob
Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over
the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using
a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the
cooking area are clean and dry before cooking
begins.
Ensure saucepans are large enough to
accommodate food to avoid boil overs.
If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they
occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the
hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent
on the hob surface which will burn and discolour
the next time the hob is used.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS
Avoid the use of:
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS
HAZARD.
A
SAFETY
Household detergents and bleaches.
Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are
not described as suitable for non-stick
saucepans.
Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.
Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and
oven pads.
Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN
GRID AND OVEN SHELVES
Any of the above products may cause
damage to the hob.
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each other
with hazardous results.
The grill pan, oven shelves and grill deflector 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.
SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE
SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND
GRILL COMPARTMENTS
Avoid placing plastic items, aluminium foil or
dishes on the hot surface as this will cause
damage to the hob.
The sides and back of the Main oven compartment is
coated with Stayclean enamel.
The Stayclean surfaces inside the oven should not
be cleaned manually. See Page 27 'Care of
Stayclean Surfaces'.

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.
The vitreous enamel top oven and the fan oven base
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.
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 overbrowned.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean
surfaces and must not come into contact with
the elements or the door seal as this may cause
damage.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
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.
Household detergents and bleaches
Impregnated pads unsuitable for
non-stick saucepans
Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
Chemical oven pads or aerosols
Rust removers
HINTS AND TIPS
Manual cleaning of Stayclean is not recommended.
Damage will occur if oven sprays or abrasives of any
kind are used.
Bath/Sink stain removers
Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surface may occur in time. This DOES
NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND
INNER DOOR GLASS
The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.
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.
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.
Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one
hand before removing the screws completely with
the other hand.
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.
4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door
glass towards you, lift slightly to disengage the
locators from the two bottom brackets.
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.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB
The type of bulb required is a 300C 25 watt small
Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1.
(Available through Tricity Bendix service centres).
CAUTION: Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply before replacing the bulb.
Open 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.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy
water or Hob Brite may be used. DO NOT try to
clean the aluminium foil which is inside the door.
The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is
damaged it will not work. Ensure that all parts
are well rinsed and thoroughly dry before
attempting to replace the outer door.
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.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS
1. Holding the oven glass with both hands, gently
place the locators into the holes of the brackets
at the bottom of the oven door.
Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply
and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary.
2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven
door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.
3. Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert
the cross head screws into the location holes
with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to
ensure the glass is secure.
4. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive
screwdriver before closing the oven door.
Do not attempt to use the oven without the glass
being in place.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or
has deep scratches the glass will be
weakened and must be replaced to prevent
the possibility of the panel shattering.
Please contact your local Service Centre
who will be pleased to advise further.
TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR
PANELS
Clean the inner door glass panels using a soft cloth
and hot water to which a little washing up has been
added. If the inner panel is heavily soiled, Hob Brite
may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials
on the door glass. Ensure that all parts are well
rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to
replace the glass.
