GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill/oven furniture have been
supplied with the appliance. If you require
replacements of any of the items listed below please
contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the
relevant part number.
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
15 minutes at 220oC 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.
1 grill pan
(311409401)
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is 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.
1 grill pan handle
(311468100)
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.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Note
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan,
this can be ordered from your local Service Force
Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
1 grill pan grid
(311419801)
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
or top oven are switched on and after a time when
the main fan oven is in use. The operation of the
cooling fan is temperature dependent in the case of
the main oven and the cooling fan may not switch in
at all at low temperature settings or where the main
oven has only been used for a short time.
1 straight shelf for
grilling and top oven
cooking only
The cooling fan may run on after the control knobs
have been switched off until the appliance has
cooled. Do not switch the appliance off at its power
point until the cooling fan has cooled the appliance
down.
2 straight shelves
for main oven cooking
Scuffing of the Stayclean panel/s by the oven
furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks
will disappear after the oven elements have been
burnt off for the first time.

THE CERAMIC HOB
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A FAULT OR CRACK
BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE.
NOTE
S Turn the control knob in either direction to vary
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.
the heat setting. The highest number represents
the hottest setting and the lowest number
represents the coolest setting. Choose a setting
appropriate to the quantity and type of food to be
cooked.
S This model has the added feature of two Rapid
power zone hotplates which react more quickly
than the other ceramic hotplates and are easily
identified by their instant red glow.
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.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality saucepans
with flat bases and close fitting lids are
HINTS AND TIPS
S 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.
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.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to
remove edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
S Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
S Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
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.

5. Double frying chips.
S To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
S Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.
S Never use an asbestos mat.
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.
S Never leave the hotplates ON when not
covered with a saucepan.
S Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean
and dry before the start of cooking to reduce
cleaning.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first
frying before finishing off with the second frying.
S Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to
keep the hob looking like new.
S 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.

DEEP FAT FRYING
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:
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 appliance OFF
at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid
or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.

PRESERVING
DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool
for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of
the hob trim.
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.
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.
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally
good flavour.
2. Amount of oil.
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full
of 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.
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.
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.
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.
7. The scum should be removed as soon as
possible after setting point has been reached.
Marmalade should be allowed to cool before
potting to prevent the peel rising.
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.

positioned centrally beneath the grill.
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.
Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as
the grill cleans itself.
The inner element may appear to glow slightly
brighter than the outer element. This is quite normal.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right
and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill
pan.
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.

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 smaller 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°C - 100°C on the top oven control dial.

HINTS AND TIPS
S DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly
onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage may occur.
S Most cooking should be carried out using an
oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
S 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.
S 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.
S Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
S DO NOT use the grill pan as a baking tray as this
will increase base browning of the food.
S Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations on pages 21 and 22.
S For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.
S 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.
S 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
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.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperature
recommended in the chart on page 21. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 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
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
S Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting.
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.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The main oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
2. The interior oven light will come ON when the
main oven control is turned.
3. The cooling fan for the controls may switch in
after a time. See page 9 for more information on
the operation of the cooling fan.

HINTS AND TIPS
S Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions
are numbered from the bottom upwards.
S 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.
S When batch baking one type of food e.g. Victoria
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.
S 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.
S DO NOT place 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.
S 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 pages 21 and 22.

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.
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
S Turn the main oven temperature control to the
defrost setting.
S Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. 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
temperature, inside the oven.
a
steady room
S The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.
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.
S DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it
is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled.

CARE AND CLEANING
BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE,
ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO
COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE
SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY
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.
Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the
ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the
cleaning agents recommended.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
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.
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.
1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre
of each area to be cleaned.
CLEANING THE BRASS OR CHROME
PLATED HANDLES
(WHERE APPLICABLE)
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the handles. THE USE OF ANY
OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL THE
BRASS OR CHROME PLATED FINISH.
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.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob
Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over
the control panel, oven doors and appliance sides
using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
To prevent streaking on stainless steel models finish
with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the stainless
steel finish must be wiped off immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish.
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
1. Bar Keepers Friend may be used to clean off
more
stubborn
stains
or
to
remove
discolourations.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS
THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY
HAZARD.
2. It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for
several minutes.

S Avoid the use of:
S Household detergents and bleaches.
3. Use
a
plastic pad specially for non-stick
saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal
of more stubborn soilage.
S Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not
described as suitable for non-stick saucepans.
TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE
S Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.
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.
S Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and oven
pads.
S Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
S Any of the above products may cause
1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
damage to the hob.
S It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each other
with hazardous results.
2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care 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.
S SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE
SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
S Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the
hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN
FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be
cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning
easier.
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 above
under ‘To Remove More Stubborn Marks’.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND
GRILL COMPARTMENTS
The Stayclean surfaces on the rear oven panel and
sides should not be cleaned manually.
If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part
water to three parts Cream of Tarter 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.
The vitreous enamel in the grill compartment and on
the 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. 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.
HINTS AND TIPS
TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:
S Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the
cooking area are clean and dry before cooking
begins.
S Ensure saucepans are large enough to
accommodate food to avoid boil overs.
S If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they
occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
S 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.
For advice on how to keep the Stayclean coating in
good condition see ‘Care of Stayclean Surfaces’.

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.
S
S
Household detergents and bleaches
Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-
stick saucepans
S
S
S
S
Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
Chemical oven pads or aerosols
Rust removers
HINTS AND TIPS
S Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surface IS NOT
recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or
aerosol sprays of any kind are used.
Bath/Sink stain removers
S Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This
DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in
any way.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND
INNER DOOR GLASS
S 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
surfaces from working.
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.
S Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to minimum.
2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive
screwdriver.
S 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.
S 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.
S It is not necessary to add water to a 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.
3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one
hand before removing the screws completely with
the other hand.
S 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.
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.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy
water or Hob Brite may be used with care. DO
NOT use Hob Brite on the Stainless Steel or
painted finishes. DO NOT try to clean the 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 dried before attempting to replace the
outer door.

TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS
REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB
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.
The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small
Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1
(Available through your local Service Force Centres).
2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven
door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.
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 glass
which covers the bulb.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Force
Centre who will be pleased to advise
further.
Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply
and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary.
TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR
PANELS
Clean the inner glass door panels using a soft cloth
and hot water to which a little washing up liquid 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.
