Operating the control when the grill is in use  
The knobs for the hotplates can be rotated in either  
direction to provide variable heat control, the Main  
Oven knob can only be rotated clockwise from the  
Off position.  
Note: Always ensure that all controls are in  
the OFF position, when the appliance is not  
in use.  
In common with all cookers having controls sited  
above the grill compartment, care must be taken  
when setting the controls, due to hot air being  
emitted from the grill compartment.  
Slow cooking ‘S’*  
The main oven has a ‘S’ setting specially designed  
to reduce energy usage. Full details of this can be  
found in the Slow cooking section of this book.  
The hob hot warning lights will operate soon after  
each of the heating areas have been switched on.  
Each warning light will remain illuminated until each  
heating area has cooled down.

Hotplate  
Turn the control to 6 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.  
GB  
CAUTION: IF AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE  
SURFACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE  
APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE SUPPLY.  
Under no circumstances should the hob be used  
with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface as  
damage can occur.  
The following boiling plates are located beneath the  
decorative circular patterned cooking areas:-  
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan  
as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of  
the hotplate.  
Front left 6 heat: 1200W  
Rear left 6 heat: 1700W  
Rear right 6 heat: 1200W  
Front right 6 heat: 1700W  
CONTROL SETTINGS GUIDE  
This is provided only as a guide – settings also  
depend on the type of pan used and the quality of  
food.  
The cooking areas change colour when heated  
(become red) indicating which heating element is  
switched on. The cooking area returns to its original  
colour when the heating element is switched Off.  
Safety requirements for deep fat frying  
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely  
cover the appropriate heating area.  
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.  
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the  
heating or cooking period.  
4. 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.  
5. 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.  
Warning: Even though the cooking area has  
returned to its original colour it may still be hot.  
The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either  
direction.  
Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the  
heat 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.  
Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the  
panel when cooking is finished and before serving  
food. It is inadvisable at any time to leave a heating  
element switched on without a pan in position as this  
wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from  
aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect  
elements against over-heating, safety cut-outs have  
been incorporated with each element. After several  
minutes with the control at setting 6 the safety cut-  
out switches the element Off and On continuously,  
thus preventing any adverse effects that may be  
caused by an excessive build-up of heat in the  
cooking area.  
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.  
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from  
streaks of oil or fat.

Note: All copper pans are excellent conductors of  
heat, and are hard wearing and strong, but need  
quite a lot of care. They can be very heavy and do  
not usually have completely flat bases. The interiors  
are usually lined with a different material such as tin.  
A stainless steel pan with a sandwich base of  
aluminium and stainless steel is an excellent  
conductor of heat and is suitable for use on ceramic  
and halogen hobs, providing they are used in  
accordance with the saucepans manufacturers’  
recommendations.  
Stainless steel pans with a sandwich base of  
aluminium and copper are excellent conductors of  
heat. If using stainless steel saucepans with  
aluminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic  
and halogen hobs, the use of these pans must be in  
accordance with the saucepan manufacturers’  
recommendations.  
Extra care should be taken to ensure the base of the  
pan and the hob is cleaned, and the hob  
conditioned, after each and every use, when using  
this type of saucepan.  
If these recommendations are not followed, the  
result will be a build up of small copper deposits on  
the surface of your hob which, if not cleaned after  
each use, will result in permanent marking of your  
hob.  
Always lift the pan from the hob, do not drag or  
slide across the hob surface as damage may occur.

Grill  
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.  
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The  
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack  
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into  
the grill pan will make the collection of grease  
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of  
smoke. .

To operate the grill proceed as follows:  
Open the grill door.  
Pre-heat the grill on setting 6 for approximately 5  
minutes (see chart on guide to grilling).  
Fix the grill pan handle securely in position. See  
below.  
Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the grill  
compartment will be heated when the oven is in use.  
Grill Compartment as a ‘Hotcupboard’  
Food which only requires browning should be  
placed directly on/in the grill pan in the grill pan  
runner, or on the floor of the grill compartment.  
(the grill pan grid may be removed.)  
Do not operate the grill control when using the  
compartment as a hotcupboard.  
Leave the control on setting 6 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, on both sides, on  
setting 6. The thicker the food the lower the  
control should be set.  
Do take care when removing plates, dishes and  
utensils from the grill compartment when the oven is  
in use as they may become quite hot.  
You may need to use oven gloves when removing  
warmed items.  
Warning: Take care as the grill will be hot –  
always wear oven gloves. Always ensure that  
the grill pan is clean BEFORE use. Excess

Main Oven - Fan Cooking  
Using the Main Oven for Other Functions  
GB  
This control switches on the main oven. To select  
Fan Cooking - Turn thecontrol clockwise and select  
any temperature between 100°C and Max. As the  
control is turned the fan will start.The main oven light  
will immediately come on.  
The thermostat light indicates that the main oven is  
heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside the  
oven has reached the setting made with the main  
oven knob. At this point, the light will turn on and off  
as the oven maintains the temperature at a constant  
level.  
‘S’ SLOW Setting  
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and  
warming plates for short periods. Extra care should  
be taken when warming bone china, as it may be  
damaged in a hot oven.  
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the  
oven floor as this could damage both the oven  
lining and the plates which are being warmed.  
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on  
throughout cooking. The red main oven thermostat  
light will come on until the oven reaches therequired  
temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the oven  
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are:  
The oven stays cleaner because there is less  
splashing.  
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less  
fear of overcooking.  
The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is  
provided by an element situated at the back of the  
oven, around the fan.  
Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of  
meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating  
the need for pre-heating the oven. It is also ideal for  
batch cooking where food is cooked on morethan  
one level, because the forced circulation of hot air  
gives aneven temperature from the top to the bottom  
of the oven.  
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.  
Fully loading the oven can be economical.  
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by  
up to 2 hours.  
Operation:  
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and  
ensure the door is fully closed.  
2. Select ‘S’ (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning  
the Main Oven Control and ensuring the oven door  
is fully closed.  
To use the oven proceed as follows:  
Storage and re-heating of food:  
The shelves should be evenly spaced. To avoid  
unnecessary cleaning, shelves which are not in  
use should be removed from the oven.  
Set the main oven control to the required  
temperature. Pre-heating is not normally  
necessary, but some foods such as bread,  
scones and Yorkshire pudding do benefit from  
being placed in a hot oven (see cooking charts).  
Place the food to be cooked in the centre of each  
shelf to allow for even air circulation around the  
food.  
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately,  
place it in a clean container and cool as soon as  
possible.  
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the  
refrigerator before re-heating.  
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is  
piping hot before serving.  
4. Only re-heat food once.  
! When inserting the shelf make sure the  
backstop is at the rear of the cavity (see  
image)

Points to consider when preparing food for  
“SLOW” cooking:  
GB  
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into  
the oven ensuring enough room for air to circulate.  
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require  
a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they are  
cooked for 1 -2 hours longer then deterioration in  
their appearance may be noticed.  
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 Ib) or  
poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).  
We do not recommend that joints of meat or  
poultry are stuffed before cooking on the slow  
setting.  
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or  
poultry at 170°C for 30 minutes before wrapping in  
foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good  
air circulation) before turning the control to the  
slow setting and cooking immediately.  
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are  
thoroughly cooked by checking with a meat  
thermometer before serving.  
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before  
cooking. We do not recommend placing frozen  
food in the oven to cook.  
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the  
boil before placing in the oven.  
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal  
(not airtight) and cover to the top with foil to  
prevent loss of moisture.  
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even  
sized small pieces to cook properly.  
10.Always adjust seasoning before serving.  
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important  
that the beans are soaked and then boiled fora  
minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish  
to destroy any toxins.  
12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be  
necessary to check during cooking to avoid  
overcooking.

Care and Cleaning  
Decorative Trims  
Ceramic hob  
GB  
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly  
to prevent any build up of soiling. The  
To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that  
the hob and cooking utensils are clean and dry  
before use. Regular use of cleaner conditioner is  
recommended for proper care and protection of the  
hob surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob  
for the first time. It contains a mild cleaning agent,  
so that subsequent applications may clean off soil  
and apply a protective film at the same time. For  
stubborn stains or heavy soiling use any of the  
following materials, and finish off with conditioner.  
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over  
the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or  
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner  
on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in  
normal use). Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung  
out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.  
Ovens  
Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine  
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from  
the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven.  
Clean the glass part of the oven door using a  
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then  
dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough  
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these  
could scratch the surface and cause the glass to  
crack.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.  
Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.  
Special Powder Cleanser.  
Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are  
present in hard water, and some foods, may cause  
‘discolourations’ that appear in the form of grey or  
brown stains. The stains sometimes appear to be in  
or under the glass surface. If there are some  
persistent stains after using any of the other  
recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser  
may be applied, following the manufacturers  
instructions.  
Oven Shelf Supports  
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher  
safe.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners or the powder  
cleanser on the painted metal framework.  
To remove hold the support at the front and pull  
away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in  
a sink or a dishwasher. When removed it allows  
access to the oven side, which can be cleaned with  
warm soapy water.  
Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the  
conditioner will make the surface easier to clean thus  
ensuring that years of heavy abrasive cleaning do  
not progressively dull the surface.  
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the  
rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.  
Grill  
Oven Lamp Replacement  
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support,  
it is best to wash these items immediately after use  
to prevent stains from being burnt on when used  
again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine  
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from  
the grill runners and the floor of the compartment.  
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and  
polish with a dry cloth.  
Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves.  
Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip the  
light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift.  
Reach into the aperture with fingers, and unscrew  
the lamp anticlockwise. Fit replacement lamp (25W  
300°C rated SES), refit dome.  
WARNING: To avoid electric shocks - please  
ensure that the electricity supply to the  
appliance is switched off and the appliance  
is fully cold, before removing the lamp lens.  
Control Panel  
Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or  
aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for  
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.

CLEANING THE DOORS  
3. The inside of the outer door glass can now be  
cleaned while still fitted to the cooker.  
Take particular care not to damage the inner  
surface of the door inner glass that is coated  
with a heat reflective layer. Do not use  
scouring pads, or abrasive powder,which will  
scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass  
panel is not subjected to any sharp  
mechanical blows.  
GB  
NEVER OPERATE THE COOKER WITHOUT THE  
INNER DOOR GLASS IN POSITION.  
Refit the door inner glass as follows.  
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine  
steel wool soap pad. For slight soiling theinner glass  
panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without  
removing it from the door. Aftercleaning, rinse and  
dry with a soft cloth.  
1. Open the door fully.  
2. Locate the inner door glass into its slots, so that  
the printing is readable from the face nearest the  
oven in the closed position and the widest black  
band is towards the bottom of the door. The inner  
door glass has a special reflective coating on one  
side, in order to minimise surface temperatures  
and energy consumption during use, it is  
important it is fitted correctly.  
SIDE OPENING DOORS  
Cleaning the door glass is the same as the  
drop down doors, except take care to  
support the weight of the inner glass when  
removing and refitting.  
3. Carefully slide the glass into its slots as far as it  
will go and replace the end caps.  
DROP DOWN DOORS  
'Stay Clean' Panel  
Remove the door inner glass as follows.  
1. Open the door fully and remove the extrusion end  
caps (This should be done by hand but if it  
proves too difficult, simply lift the inner glass to  
ease the end caps out of position).  
Stay Clean' panels are covered with a special enamel  
which absorbs cooking soils. At higher temperatures  
the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal  
cooking at higher temperatures will permit this cleaning  
to take place automatically. However, if higher cooking  
temperatures are not used regularly then it may be  
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the  
oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours,  
from time to time. The 'Stay Clean' panel can be  
washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in  
clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.  
NOTE: If you need to use a tool - be  
careful not to damage the extrusion or end  
cap.  
2. Carefully slide the inner glass towards you  
andwithdraw it from its locating slots. Ensure that  
the door is not allowed to slam shut, due to the  
reduction in door weight. Clean the glass as  
described above.  
NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh  
abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind.
