POP IN POP OUT CONTROL KNOBS
These control knobs can remain flush with the
control panel when not in use, or pushed and
released to stand out from the panel for easy
operation.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
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. If an automatic programme has been set the
cooling fan does not switch on until the cook time
begins.
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 only been used for a short time or at
low temperatures. Do not switch the cooker off at
the power point, until the fan has cooled the cooker
down.
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.

If you require the oven door to be hinged on the
opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified
Service Engineer. See page 34 for your nearest

THE SHELF POSITIONS
Recommended shelf positions have been shown in
the cooking charts on pages 22 and 26.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
Bulk cooking with even spacing can be achieved
using three shelves at any one time, e.g. position 1
straight, position 3 straight and position 5 straight.
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short
period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
To do this, run the ovens at 220°C for approximately
45 minutes. The procedure should be repeated with
the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
It is important that the shelves are fitted right
side uppermost and are between the wirework
side runners.
During this period an unpleasant odour may be
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window
for ventilation.
If not fitted correctly the shelf will lie at an angle and
the safety stop will not be effective. To ensure that
the shelf has the correct side uppermost, the wire
stringers which make up the shelf should lie on top of
the surrounding frame.
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 cooker.
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 cycle on
and off during use to show that the temperature is
being maintained. 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. When the oven has been
set for automatic cooking the neon should remain
unlit until the cook time begins.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

HINTS AND TIPS
DEEP FAT FRYING
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:
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.
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 the cooker 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.
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. Preparing the food
Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
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.
Avoid using thin badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
2. Amount of oil
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full
of oil.
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.
4. Cooking the food
To prolong the life of hotplates:-
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.
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.
Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the
surface so will not brown on the upperside if not
turned.
absorbent paper.
Once cooked, drain the food on
Ensure that hob and saucepans are clean and
dry before the start of cooking to reduce
cleaning.
5. Double frying chips
Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to
keep the hob looking like new.
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.
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.
HOT HOB INDICATOR
The ceramic hob is fitted with a hot hob indicator light
which illuminates when the hob is too hot to touch.
The light will go OFF when the hob has cooled.

PRESERVING
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.
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally
good flavour.
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.
6. To test jam for setting:
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.
7. The scum should be removed as soon as
possible from the surface of the preserve after
setting point has been reached. Marmalade
should be allowed to cool before potting to
prevent the peel rising.

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 goods 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
PROGRAMMER
MAIN OVEN
FUNCTION
Pop out and turn the top oven temperature
control to the required setting.
HINTS AND TIPS
Most cooking should be carried out using an
oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
The cooling fan will operate immediately with the
top oven. For more details on cooling fan
operation see page 9.
Single level cooking gives best results. If you
require more than one level cooking use the fan
or zoned oven functions.
The top oven light will illuminate .
NOTE
1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is
in use. If the grill and top oven controls are
selected at the same time, only the top oven will
operate.
2. The top oven neon indicator 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.
Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be
cooked in the main oven. However, they may be
cooked on a flat shelf placed on the top oven
base provided there is sufficient room for air
circulation around the food.
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.

Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required.
Be guided by the
recommendations on page 22 and the recipes
given in the cookbook supplied with the cooker.
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 a shelf
directly below the element.
DO NOT place dishes or baking trays 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.
DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking
tray as this will increase base browning of the
food.

THE 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.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 26. 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
PROGRAMMER

during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
Pop in the main oven function button to select
fan mode. The selected neon indicator will

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.
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 safety stop mechanism will be affected.
DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly on
the oven floor 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 placed on the base when more space is
required when using fanned mode only.

recommendations given in the oven cooking
chart, see page 26.
Refer to the
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 possible to cook bulk loads on up to three
shelves at any one time. The shelves are
interchangeable between the top and main oven
compartments.

THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN
USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN
This function uses the top and lower elements in the main oven to give single level cooking which is particularly
suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes and
hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This form of cooking gives you
the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation.

DEFROST FEATURE
ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE
THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING.
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.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed
or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be
thawed in 1 - 2 hours.
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.
SELECTING DEFROST FEATURE
PROGRAMMER
MAIN OVEN
FUNCTION
Pop out and turn the fan 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.
Pop in the main oven function button to select
Fan mode.
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 steady room temperature
inside the oven.
It may be necessary to turn the main oven
control slightly beyond the defrost symbol
until the oven light illuminates.
If the oven indicator neon operates the control
has been turned too far.
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.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The oven light will illuminate.
2. 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.

CARE AND CLEANING
If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the
cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:
BEFORE CLEANING THE COOKER ALWAYS
ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE
COOKER DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
a) Flash Cream Cleaner
b) Jif Cream Cleaner
c) Baking Soda
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS
1. Bar-Keepers Friend may be used to clean off
more stubborn stains or to remove discolourations.
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
products should not be used on the ceramic hob or
on the surrounding trims.
It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for
several minutes.
2. Use
a
plastic pad specially for non-stick
saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal of
more stubborn soilage.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning.
It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to
prevent soilage being burnt on.
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. If required a Ceramic Hob Scraper can be
purchased using the mail order form provided with
the hob care kit.
Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the
ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the
cleaning agents recommended.
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.
1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
2. Use a ceramic hob scraper at an angle of 30° to
remove as much soilage as possible.
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.
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.
TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR
WHITE AND SILVER MARKS
3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
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.
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 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 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.
Avoid the use of:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS
Household detergents and bleaches.
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS
HAZARD.
A
SAFETY
Impregnated plastic or nylon pads 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.
Any of the above products may cause
damage to the hob.
REMOVING AND REPLACING WIREWORK
SIDE RUNNERS
Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven. Hold
the bottom of the wirework runners and draw the
runners towards the centre of the oven. Unhook from
the top and remove.
It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each
other with hazardous results.
SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE
SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
BRACKET
CAVITY CENTRE
Avoid placing plastic items, aluminium foil or
dishes on the hot surface as this will cause
damage to the hob.
Clean the wirework runners by soaking in very hot
soapy water, mild abrasives may be used.
To replace, hook the wirework side runner into the
cavity, slide back and press into place. Ensure the
wirework runners are firmly in position before
replacing the oven shelves.

CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR,
GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID, OVEN
SHELVES AND WIREWORK SIDE
RUNNERS
2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive
screwdriver.
3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one
hand before removing the screws completely with
the other hand.
All removable parts are dishwashable. Alternatively,
soak them in hot soapy water if they are heavily
soiled they will then clean more easily.
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.
The grill deflector, grill pan, meat tin and trivet can be
cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
The grill pan grid, oven shelves and wirework side
runners should be cleaned using hot soapy water.
Soaking first will make cleaning easier.
NOTE: The grill pan handle should not be cleaned in
the dishwasher.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN/GRILL
COMPARTMENTS
The main and second oven compartments are
coated with a Stayclean finish.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy
water or Hob Brite cleaner 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.
The Stayclean surfaces inside the ovens should not
be cleaned manually. See Page 31 'Care of
Stayclean Surfaces'.
The vitreous enamel oven base can be cleaned
using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners
with care.
Ensure that the manufacturers
TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS
instructions are followed and that all parts are well
rinsed afterwards.
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.
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.
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.
TO CLEAN INSIDE THE INNER GLASS DOOR
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND
INNER DOOR GLASS
The inner glass door is not removable. Clean using
hot soapy water or Hob Brite Cleaner and a soft
cloth. Take care NOT to use abrasives as they
damage the glass or seal.
The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.
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.

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.
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.
DO use the trivet in the roasting tin. During roasting
the fat from the trivet will be contained beneath the
trivet and therefore prevent it from splashing onto the
Stayclean finish.
HINTS AND TIPS
Manual
cleaning
of
Stayclean
is
not
recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays
or abrasives of any kind are used.
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 and wirework
runners 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.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surface may occur in time. This DOES
NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply
and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary.
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.
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.
