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, product and serial numbers on the  
back cover of this instruction book, from the rating  
plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the  
appliance and can be seen upon opening the oven  
door.  
To move the cooker, open the main oven door and  
lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the  
compartment.  
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated  
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is  
given on the rating plate.  
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.  
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.  
A spacer has been incorporated into the back of the  
appliance to ensure an air gap of 10mm is  
maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of  
deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.  
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended  
cross-section area.

Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a  
minimum of 685mm above the hob.  
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS  
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.  
The cooling fan may run on after the control knobs  
have been switched off until the cooker has cooled.  
If an automatic programme has been set the cooling  
fan does not come on until the cooktime begins.  
Do not switch the cooker off at its power point until  
the cooling 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.  
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE  
The following items of oven furniture have been  
supplied with the cooker:  
REVERSIBLE MAIN OVEN DOOR  
1 grill pan  
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the  
opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified  
Service Engineer. See page 29 for your nearest  
Service Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will be  
made.  
1 grill pan handle  
1 grill pan grid  
1 grill deflector  
1 meat tin  
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR  
COOKER  
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.  
During this period an unpleasant odour may be  
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window  
for ventilation.  
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 appliance when opening the oven door to  
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.  
1 trivet  
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.  
1 cranked shelf for  
grilling and top oven  
cooking only  
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.

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.  
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  
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should  
comply with the recommendations given above.  
For speed and economy only good quality  
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are  
recommended.  
Traditional round-bottomed Woks must not be used  
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases  
To check the flatness of the saucepan, place a ruler  
are available and do comply with the above  
across the pan base, hold at eye level and look for  
recommendations.  
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.  
The size of the base of the saucepan should be the  
same or up to 3cm/1 inch 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 prolong the life of the hotplates:-  
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket  
Never use an asbestos mat

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 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.  
PRESERVING  
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 ready.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first  
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

THE DUAL GRILL  
USES OF THE 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 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.  
SELECTING THE GRILL  
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE  
To operate the dual grill, turn the grill control  
clockwise for full area grilling, and anti-clockwise  
for centre section grilling only. The highest  
number represents the hottest setting and the  
lowest the coolest setting.  
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.  
To insert the handle, press the button on the handle  
with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards  
inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. Move  
the handle towards the left, lower into position and  
release the button.  
The cooling fan will operate immediately in  
conjunction with the grill.  
Ensure the handle is positively located.  
THINGS TO NOTE  
When removing the handle, press the button on the  
handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly  
upwards and towards the right to remove from the  
bracket.  
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING  
GRILLING.  
If the grill door is accidentally closed during grilling, a  
safety device incorporated in the appliance will cut  
out the grill to indicate to the user there is a fault.  
This will occur after approximately 10 minutes.  
Ensure your hand is protected when removing  
the grill pan handle as the grill element can  
become very hot.  
The cranked shelf MUST only be used in the grill  
compartment, but a straight shelf from the main oven  
may be used to provide alternative positions.  
ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE  
DURING GRILLING.  
Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as  
the grill cleans itself.  
The top oven cannot be operated when the grill is in  
use. If the grill and top oven controls are selected at  
the same time, only the top oven will operate.  
The outer grill element may appear to glow slightly  
brighter than the inner element. This is quite normal.  
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.  
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure  
that the cut out on the underside of the handle  
bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf.  
When toasting bread use the cranked shelf in  
position 2 with the grid in the high position.  
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the  
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to tend the  
food during cooking, or the carrier shelf can be lifted  
away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant  
work surface.  
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few  
minutes before cooking. Adjust the heat setting  
and the shelf as necessary during cooking.  
The food should be turned over during cooking  
as required.

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 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 80-100°C on the top oven control dial.  
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN  
Turn the top oven temperature control to the  
required setting.  
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF  
The cranked shelf must only be used in the top oven  
compartment but a straight shelf from the main oven  
may be used to provide alternative positions.  
THINGS TO NOTE

DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven  
base as it becomes very hot and damage may  
occur.  
HINTS AND TIPS  
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 from the main oven 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 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 pages 22 and 23.  
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.  
AUTOMATIC COOKING  
If you use the automatic timer to cook food in the  
top oven be guided by the recommendations  
given below.  
*
*
*
It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as  
short a time as possible before automatic  
cooking.  
When cooking is complete do not leave food to  
stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly  
if the food is not to be consumed immediately.  
Always ensure food in the oven is covered if its  
not possible to remove food immediately after  
cooking.

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.  
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°C - 25°C for your own recipes.  
BATCH BAKING  
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.  
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN  
THINGS TO NOTE  
Turn the main oven temperature control to the  
required setting.  
1. The main oven indicator neon will glow until the  
oven has reached the desired temperature and  
then go out. It will cycle ON and OFF periodically  
during cooking showing that the temperature is  
being maintained.  
2. 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.  
20  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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  
can be placed on the oven base when more  
space is required.  
Back of the Oven  
Straight Rods  
Frame  
HINTS AND TIPS  
Arrange the shelves in the required positions  
before switching the oven ON. Shelves are  
numbered from the bottom upwards.  
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  
charts on pages 22 and 23.  
DO NOT use the cranked shelf from the grill in  
the main oven.  
AUTOMATIC COOKING  
If you use the automatic timer to cook food in the  
main oven be guided by the recommendations  
below.  
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.  
*
*
*
It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as  
short a time as possible before automatic  
cooking.  
When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria  
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be  
cooked in the same time.  
When cooking is complete do not leave food to  
stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly  
if the food is not to be consumed immediately.  
Always ensure food in the oven is covered if its  
not possible to remove food immediately after  
cooking.

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.  
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 30 - 60 min. cooking time.

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.  
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.  
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 cycle ON and OFF periodically during  
defrosting to maintain  
temperature, inside the oven.  
a
steady room  
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.  
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 ALWAYS ALLOW  
THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE  
APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING  
OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.  
CLEANING THE STAINLESS STEEL  
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 MATERIALS  
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,  
check that they are suitable and that their use is  
recommended by the manufacturer.  
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL  
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 surrounding  
trims.  
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-  
stick saucepans with 'Jif' or 'Flash' cream cleaner.  
AFTER CLEANING  
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.  
CLEANING THE BRASS PLATED HANDL  
ES  
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.  
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 GREEN HOTPLATE TRIMS  
To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating  
of '4 Hob' or use a Minky cloth following the  
manufacturers instructions.  
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.  
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, 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  
HAZARD.  
A
SAFETY  
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.

HINTS AND TIPS  
CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR,  
GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID, MEAT TIN  
AND OVEN SHELVES  
Manual cleaning of Stayclean Surfaces IS NOT  
recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays or  
abrasives of any kind are used.  
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle 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, meat tin, grill deflector and oven  
shelves 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.  
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 GRILL/OVEN  
COMPARTMENTS  
Follow the recommendations below to keep oven  
soilage to a minimum.  
The sides, top and back of the grill/top oven and  
main oven are coated with a special Stayclean  
coating.  
The Stayclean coating should not be cleaned  
manually.  
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 fan oven base and grill  
compartment 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.  
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.  
For advice on how to keep the Stayclean coating in  
good condition see 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'.  
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.  
Do use the trivet in the roasting tin. During roasting,  
the fat from the joint will be contained beneath the  
trivet and therefore prevent it from splashing onto the  
Stayclean finish.
