INTRODUCTION  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED  
RATING PLATE  
The cable must be routed away from potentially hot  
areas marked by X in the diagram below.  
This is situated on the front frame of the appliance  
and can be seen upon opening the top cavity door.  
Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on  
the back or top of some models (where applicable).  
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated  
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is  
given on the rating plate.  
Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance  
as this may invalidate the guarantee.  
To move the appliance, open the main oven door,  
and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the  
compartment.  
INSTALLATION  
If your appliance has been damaged in transit,  
contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt  
to install it.  
Your appliance 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.  
Once the packaging has been removed the appliance  
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack  
barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance as  
damage may occur.  
This is a type X 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.  
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.  
The electrical connection should be made using a  
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at  
least 3mm contact separation in all poles. The cable  
must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-  
sectional area to prevent overheating and  
deterioration.  
A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side of the  
appliance is required to enable the appliance to be  
moved into position.  
It is recommended that  
proprietary trims are fitted to protect the worktops of  
either side of the appliance. These are available  
from most DIY stores.  
The recommended cross-section area is six square  
millimetres (6.00mm2).  
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate  
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering  
should not obscure this gap.  
Air gap

INTRODUCTION  
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a  
minimum of 685mm above the hob.  
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS  
The cooling fan will always come on when the grill  
and the top oven are switched on. If they are only  
used for a short period of time the fan will switch off  
when the controls are turned off. If the grill or top  
oven are used for a longer period of time the fan will  
run on depending on the temperature, and may turn  
on and off until the appliance has cooled.  
In the case of the main oven, the cooling fan may not  
switch on except when used for a longer period of  
time. The cooling fan may run on, and turn on and  
off 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 fan has  
cooled the appliance down.  
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level  
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the  
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.  
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE  
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR  
APPLIANCE  
The following items of grill and 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 220°C to burn off any residue from  
their surfaces.  
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for  
approximately 5 –10 minutes.  
1 grill pan  
(311409401)  
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is  
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.  
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM  
1 grill pan handle  
(311468100)  
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a  
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of  
the 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.  
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.  
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.  
1 grill pan grid  
(311419801)  
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the  
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.  
OVEN INDICATOR NEONS  
1 straight shelf  
for grilling and  
top oven cooking only  
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.

7. AUTOMATIC COOKING  
It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as  
short a time as possible before automatic  
cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared  
food is well within its use by date and that home  
prepared food is fresh and of good quality.  
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 has been  
covered before cooking if it is not possible to  
remove food immediately after cooking.

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.  
USING THE HOB  
S To operate the dual hotplate turn the control knob  
clockwise for the full area, or anticlockwise for  
the centre section.  
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.  
S The inner section is very economical when  
cooking with small diameter saucepans.  
S 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 number represents the coolest  
setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the  
quantity and type of food to be cooked.  
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.  
HINTS AND TIPS  
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.  
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.  
S Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan  
manufacturer, particularly those relating to  
recommended heat settings.  
S Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted  
saucepans as they can lead to sticking and  
burning of food.  
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should  
comply with the recommendations given above.  
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to  
remove edges and take off any deposits left from  
manufacture.  
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.

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.  
S To prolong the life of the hotplates:-  
S
DO NOT place aluminium foil and plastic  
vessels on the hot surface of the ceramic  
hob and DO NOT use the surface for storage  
purposes.  
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.  
S
S
S
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.  
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

DEEP FAT FRYING  
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:  
PRESERVING  
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.  
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.  
DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool  
for at least 30 minutes before moving it.  
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before  
using.  
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.  
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however  
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally  
good flavour.  
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.  
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.  
2. Amount of oil.  
6. To test jam for setting:  
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full  
of oil.  
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to  
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.  
3. Testing the temperature of the oil.  
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.  
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.  
7. The scum should be removed as soon as  
possible after setting point has been reached.  
Marmalade should be allowed to cool before  
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.

on the grill pan.  
S To operate the grill open the grill door and turn  
the Top oven/grill control clockwise to the highest  
setting.  
S Setting 250°C represents the grill on Full.  
S At lower settings the grill may turn on and off  
over time and you may prefer to use these  
settings for keeping food warm. The food will  
however continue to cook gently if the grill is  
used for this purpose.  
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not  
necessary to remove the grill pan handle during  
grilling.  
THINGS TO NOTE  
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING  
GRILLING. IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED THE TOP

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, sweets  
and savoury flans or quiche.  
The top oven is also ideal for use as warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature  
setting of 90°C – 100°C on the top oven control dial.  
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN  
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF  
S Turn the top oven temperature control to the  
required setting. Our diagram shows the oven

set to 150°C. Close the oven door.  
THINGS TO NOTE  
1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is  
in use. Only the outer part of the top oven  
element in conjunction with the base element will  
operate when using the top oven.  
2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the  
oven has reached the desired temperature and  
then go out. It will turn ON and OFF showing  
that the oven temperature is being maintained.  
3. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm.  
Never place dishes directly on the top oven base  
as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.  
19  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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 All 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 from the main oven 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 page 23.  
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.  
COOKNG TEMPERATURES  
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures  
recommended in the chart on page 23. 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 MAIN OVEN  
S Turn the main oven temperature control to the  
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES  
required setting.  
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.  
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 cooling fan for the controls may switch in  
after a time. See page 9 for more information on  
operation of the cooling fan.  
21  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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  
floor 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, see page 23.

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  
S Turn the main oven temperature control to the  
HINTS AND TIPS  
defrost setting.  
S Place the frozen food in a single layer where  
possible and turn it over half way through the  
defrosting process.  
S 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.  
S It may turn ON and OFF periodically during  
defrosting to maintain  
temperature, inside the oven.  
a
steady room  
THINGS TO NOTE  
Care must always be taken when handling foods in  
the home. Always follow the basic rules of food  
hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and cross  
contamination when defrosting, preparing, cooking,  
cooling and freezing foods.  
S The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by  
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will  
be faster than on cooler days.  
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  
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.  
BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE,  
ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO  
COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE  
SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY  
SUPPLY.  
CLEANING MATERIALS  
Before using any cleaning materials on your  
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their  
use is recommended by the manufacturer.  
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as  
they may dull the surface finishes. Abrasives must  
also be avoided to prevent damaging the stainless  
steel or painted finishes. Multi-surface anti-bacterial  
products should not be used on the ceramic hob or  
on the surrounding trims.  
3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp  
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.  
CLEANING  
THE  
BRASS  
PLATED  
HANDLES (Where applicable)  
It is strongly recommended that only soapy water is  
used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER  
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE BRASS  
PLATED 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  
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB  
TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS  
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning.  
It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to  
prevent soilage being burnt on.  
1. Bar-Keepers Friend may be used to clean off  
more  
stubborn  
stains  
or  
to  
remove  
discolourations.  
It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for  
several minutes.  
Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the  
ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the  
cleaning agents recommended.  
2. Use  
a
plastic pad specially for non-stick  
saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal  
of more stubborn soilage.  
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.  
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.  
1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre  
of each area to be cleaned.  
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.  
3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off  
as directed above.

TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR  
WHITE AND SILVER MARKS  
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE  
APPLIANCE  
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’.  
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 cooker sides using  
a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent  
streaking on stainless steel models finish with a soft  
cloth.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE  
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS  
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY  
HAZARD.  
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.  
S Avoid the use of:  
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 AND OVEN  
FURNITURE  
S 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.  
S It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.  
The chemicals in them may react with each other  
with hazardous results.  
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.  
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, aluminium foil or  
dishes on the hot surface as this will cause  
damage to the hob.

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL  
COMPARTMENTS  
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.  
The sides and back panel of the top and main oven  
compartments are coated with a Stayclean Coating.  
The Stayclean surfaces should not be cleaned  
manually. See ‘Care of Stayclean Surfaces’.  
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.  
The vitreous enamel main oven base, and top  
oven/grill compartment base can be cleaned using  
normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with  
care. Ensure that the manufactures instructions are  
followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.  
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.  
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the  
Stayclean surfaces and must not come into  
contact with elements as this may cause damage.  
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.  
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.  
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS  
HINTS AND TIPS  
To prevent damaging or weakening the  
door glass panels avoid the use of the  
following:  
S Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surface IS NOT  
recommended. Damage will occur if abrasives or  
aerosol sprays of any kind are used.  
S
S
Household detergents and bleaches  
S Slight discolouration and polishing of the  
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This  
DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in  
any way.  
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  
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.  
Bath/Sink stain removers  
S Follow the recommendations below to keep oven  
soilage to minimum.

CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND  
INNER DOOR GLASS  
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.  
The outer door panel 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.  
2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive  
screwdriver.  
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.  
REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB  
3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one  
hand before removing the screws completely  
with the other hand.  
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 Centre).  
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.  
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE  
FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE  
REPLACING THE BULB.  
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.  
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.  
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 door 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 panel 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.
