Hotplates General Information Notes  
Use of Hotplates  
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob  
surface.  
Turn the control to High for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower  
setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are  
specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering.  
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life  
of the hotplate.

Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.  
Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.  
Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.  
Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the  
temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.  
Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat.  
Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added to quickly.  
Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.  
THE GRILL WILL NOT OPERATE WITH THE GRILL DOOR  
CLOSED  
Setting the Grill  
Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil.  
The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of  
the grill element. Open the grill door, preheat the grill at High  
setting for approximately 5 minutes. When toasting, place the  
grill pan on the grill runner. Position the pan centrally below  
the grill element. Leave the control at High setting for toast,  
sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring  
longer cooking, turn the control to a lower setting after the  
initial sealing of both sides at High setting. The thicker the food  
the lower the control should be set.

See chart on guide to grilling.  
Remember to switch off the grill control at the end of  
cooking.  
Grill Compartment as a hotcupboard. Plates and dishes  
placed on the floor of the compartment will be heated from  
the oven when in use. Do not operate the grill control  
when using the compartment as a hotcupboard.  
Grill pan handle  
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate  
cleaning and storage. The handle can be either detachable  
from or fixed to the pan. For a fixed handle remove the screw  
and washers from the grill pan bracket, tilt the handle over  
the recess adjacent to the bracket.  
Slide the handle towards the centre of the pan and let the  
handle locate over the bracket.  
Replace screw and washers and ensure that they are fully  
tightened up. For a detachable handle remove screw and  
washers from grill pan and discard.  
Warning: Ensure when using grill pan handle in the  
detachable manner it is centralised and secure.

Oven  
With the oven door closed, heating of the oven is achieved  
by turning the control clockwise to the required ‘oven  
temperature’ scale on the control panel, as recommended  
in the temperature charts. The pilot light will immediately  
come on and go off during cooking as the thermostat  
maintains the correct temperature.  
Oven Control  
Note: At the end of the cooking period there may be a  
momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened.  
This will disperse in a few seconds and is perfectly normal  
characteristics of an oven with a good door seal.  
Note: Remember to switch off the oven control after  
cooking is finished.  
Oven Cookery Notes  
The ‘oven temperature charts’ are a guide only,  
giving approximate cooking temperatures and times. To  
suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary  
to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC.  
Wipe the joint, dry well with a clean cloth, kitchen tissue,  
etc., and weigh it. Meat which has been stored in a refriger-  
ator, should be allowed to come to room temperature for  
approximately 30 minutes before cooking. Always com-  
pletely thaw frozen meat before cooking. Beef, lamb  
and mutton may be lightly floured, but pork should have  
the rind scored, brushed over lightly with olive oil, and  
sprinkled with salt – for crisp crackling.  
To prepare meat for  
roasting in your  
electric oven  
Place the joint in a suitably sized meat pan (a small joint in  
a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven splashing).  
Small joints weighing less than 1.5kg (3lbs) may be pot  
roasted. Additional fat should not be used, except for veal,  
very lean meat, poultry, which can either be ‘larded’ with  
fat bacon, or brushed over very sparingly with melted  
fat/cooking oil. When potatoes are roasted round the joint,  
they only require to be coated in melted fat/cooking oil. It is  
not necessary to baste, when roasting in an electric oven,  
and liquid/stock should not be added to the meat pan.  
15  
Oven Cookery Notes  
Temperature and  
Time  
The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast quickly at  
too high a temperature. Best results are obtained when  
roasting is carried out at low temperatures. When a lower  
temperature is used, joint loses less weight, is more tender  
(too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry),  
and the splashing of fat onto oven interior is reduced. When a  
complete meal is being cooked in the oven, cooking time  
may need to be increased, and temperature may need to be  
raised for approximately the last 30 minutes of the cooking  
period (for instance when cooking Yorkshire pudding to  
serve with roast beef).  
The times and temperature suggested should be used as a  
guide but may vary according to:–  
1. Whether you prefer meat rare, medium or well  
done.  
2. The size and shape of your joint.  
a) A short thick joint requires a longer cooking  
period than a long thin joint.  
b) A small joint under 1.5kg (3lbs) takes longer per  
450g (1lb) than a large one, whereas a large  
joint over 3kg (6lbs) will cook in the time given  
for ‘minutes’ per 450g (1lb) without the ‘minutes  
over added.  
c) Boned/rolled and stuffed joints take longer to  
cook through than those with a bone. (The  
weight of stuffing should be added to the oven  
ready weight of meat/poultry to calculate  
roasting times.)  
Never use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15”x12”) and  
baking trays no larger than 330x255mm (13”x10”), these  
should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf. Food  
should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To  
avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use,  
should be removed from the oven.

Care and Cleaning  
Turn OFF the main control unit and allow the cooker to cool  
before cleaning.  
Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF  
position.  
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‘Credaclean’  
removable side oven panels.  
‘CREDACLEAN’ OVEN LINERS  
How ‘Credaclean’  
Works  
The surfaces of the ‘Credaclean’ oven liners are treated on the  
mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs  
cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the  
special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The  
higher the temperature, the more effective it is. In most cases  
normal cooking operations at this temperature will permit this  
cleaning operation to proceed during cooking. However, if  
higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly, it may be  
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven  
without a meat pan, at a higher temperature setting of 230°C  
(450°F) for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a month  
or every two or three months depending on the type and amount  
of oven cooking.  
Oven sides – It should not normally be necessary to clean the  
‘Credaclean’ panels in water. If the user feels it is desirable to do  
so, remove the rod shelves and side panels and wash them in  
warm, soapy water, followed by rinsing in clear water. Do not use  
enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven  
chemical cleaners of any kind.  
Grill – Remove the grill pan and grid. It is best to wash these  
items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on  
when used again.  
Hob and Spillage  
Compartment  
Lift out the hotplate bezels and wash in hot soapy or detergent  
water. Wipe the hob with a damp cloth wrung out in hot soapy  
water or detergent water. To clean the spillage compartment,  
raise the hob and wipe with a damp cloth wrung out in a hot soapy  
or detergent water using a fine soap impregnated steel wool pad  
if necessary.  
Control Panel  
Oven – Interior  
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a  
dry cloth. Do not use oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or  
abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs or plastic end  
caps as damage will occur.

Remove the rod shelves for washing at the sink. Use a fine steel  
wool soap pad for removing stubborn stains from the rod shelves  
and floor of the oven. Take care during cleaning not to damage,  
bend or dislodge from the supporting clips the thermostat phial  
which is across the back of the oven just below the roof.

scratch the surface.  
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seal.  
Do not lift the door seal from the oven front frame, if necessary  
remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips. Be sure  
to replace the oven door seal before using the appliance.

amount of smoke when  
using the cooker for the  
first time.  
This is normal and should cease after a short period.

at all.  
Check that the switch on the control unit is in the on  
position.  
Oven temperature seems  
too high or too low.  
Check that the temperature has been set in accordance  
with the temperature charts. It may be necessary to  
increase or decrease the recommended temperature by  
up to 10oC to suit your taste.  
Oven does not cook  
evenly.  
Check that the temperature and shelf position are as  
recommended in the temperature charts.

Steam and/or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear  
of the appliance when using an oven particularly for foods with a  
high water content e.g. frozen chips, roast chicken etc. This is  
normal and any excess should be wiped off.  
Condensation on the  
wall at the rear of the  
cooker.  
Steam / Condensation  
in the oven after use.  
Steam is a by-product of cooking any food with a high water  
content. To help minimise always:  
a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being  
cooked.  
b) Use a covered container, wherever possible
