Oven Timer Operation  
NOTE: The Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens  
can be used.  
Automatic Cooking  
The Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer.  
NEVER operate the grill or top oven when the main oven is set to cook  
automatically, because the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause  
bacterial growth in food.  
Hints on  
Automatic  
Cooking  
1. Select foods which require the same cooking time and temperature.  
2. To ensure food does not cool down and does not require reheating  
set the end time so that the food is ready when you require it.  
3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in  
the oven.  
4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep is as cool  
as possible.  
5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto  
cooking, keep the delay start time to a minimum,.  
6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it  
could cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in food.  
7. We advise that dishes containing left-over, cooked poultry or meat eg.  
Shepherd’s Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a  
time delay period.  
8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent  
bacterial growth in food.  
9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay  
period so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.  
10. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or  
tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to  
placing food in the oven.  
11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent  
boiling over.  
12. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to  
prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a  
good seal.  
13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before  
serving.  
14. Only reheat food once.

Using the Top Oven for Solarplus Grilling  
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. Creda have developed a Solarplus  
high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it  
takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat  
before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be  
used directly from cold without any pre-heat.  
However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for  
about 1 minute.  
Note: You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops  
you from touching live parts.  
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could  
damage the element wire, break the glass tubes or if the grill is on, cause electric  
shock.  
During use the mesh may become soiled. Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh  
is not distorted – do not store the grill pan handle on the food grid when the shelf is in  
the highest position.  
Grilling Procedure  
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.  
2. Ensure that the Easy Glide™ Shelf is located in the correct  
position.  
3. Preheat the grill, if necessary, with the Easy Glide™ Shelf pulled  
out (Fig 1).  
4. Locate the grill pan in the Easy Glide™ Shelf (see Fig 2)and push  
back under the element.  
Fig 1  
5. The grill pan should be withdrawn, always using the grill pan  
handle, to the stop position to turn or remove cooked food.  
(There is no need to remove the grill pan from the Easy Glide™  
Shelf).  
6. NEVER line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause  
overheating of fat in the grill pan.  
NOTE: To stop fat splashing onto the grill element mesh, it is  
important to use the anti-splash tray. Always clean the grill pan  
anti-splash tray and food grid after each use.  
Fig 2  
NOTE:  
Preheat the grill if, necessary, with the Easy Glide™ Shelf pulled out (Fig.1)  
Ensure that the Easy Glide™ Shelf is in the correct position.  
Leave the control at 6 for toast, and for fast cooking of foods.  
For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower setting after the  
initial sealing on both sides at 6. The thicker the food, the lower the control should be set.  
DO NOT line the grill pan with aluminium foil, as this increases the amount of fat spitting  
which can cause a fire.  
After use always return both controls to their OFF (0) position.

Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven  
The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is  
designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this  
is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the  
oven. To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking  
utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is  
directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should be approx.  
100mm (4”) from the front of the shelf.  
The Easy Glide™ Shelf, in conjunction with the grill pan supplied can be  
used for cooking in the oven(s), ie. meat, poultry etc. also for roasting  
vegetables. Place the Easy Glide™ Shelf in the oven on the same runner  
position as stated in the meat cooking charts.  
Easy Glide™ Shelf  
Important:  
Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan when the pan is  
being used for oven cooking.  
Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the  
oven, as the Easy Glide™ Shelf and the grill pan will be hot.  
Never remove the Easy Glide™ Shelf from the oven with the grill pan and  
food still in position.  
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be  
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to  
increase or decrease cooking times.

Main Oven (Pre-Heat)  
Fan Oven Mode  
Fan Ovens provide even distribution of heat, allowing food to be cooked anywhere in  
the oven at the same temperature, ideal for batch baking.  
Pre-heating is not necessary in the fan oven mode for most foods because the oven  
element is situated around the fan blade which in turn circulates the hot air evenly  
around the oven quickly.  
Side Heat Mode  
This is an oven mode long favoured for traditional British cooking.  
The heating elements at the side create different temperature zones with the hottest  
at the top and the coolest at the bottom. This allows you to cook at different  
temperatures on different shelves.  
The unique design of the Creda Smartcook™ oven permits an initial boost that  
reduces the usual pre-heat time of approximately 15-20 minutes in a non-fan oven to  
approximately 8-9 minutes (based on 180˚C). During the initial boost both the side  
and the rear elements are on as well as the fan. When the oven reaches temperature  
in this mode, the fan will remain on for a further 4 minutes after opening the door  
and will then switch off automatically.

Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking  
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a  
lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For  
guides on “pre-heating, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times” see “Oven  
Temperature Charts” later in book.  
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to  
increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease  
cooking times.  
Main oven shelf positioning for Fan Oven  
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of  
heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.  
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities  
of food. (N.B. Maximum 3 shelves in the main oven).  
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven  
for cooking.  
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the  
surfaces get extremely hot.  
Easy Glide™ Shelf  
The Easy Glide™ Shelf, in conjunction with the grill pan supplied can be used for cooking in  
the oven(s), ie. meat, poultry etc. also for roasting vegetables. Place the Easy Glide™ Shelf in  
the oven on the same runner position as stated in the meat cooking chart.  
Important:  
Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan, when the pan is being used for oven  
cooking.  
Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the oven, as the Easy  
Glide™ Shelf and the pan will be hot.  
Never remove the Easy Glide™ Shelf from the oven with the pan and food still in position.

Meat Pans larger than  
Baking Trays larger than  
375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)  
325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)  
Temperature and Time  
When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be  
necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few  
minutes,to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the  
larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions  
“SLOW” Setting (FAN OVEN only)  
90  
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.  
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.  
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.  
The kitchen stays cooler.  
Operation:  
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.  
2. Turn the Main Oven selector (D) clockwise to the FAN OVEN position.  
3. Select  
(Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Main Oven Temperature  
90  
Control (C) clockwise ensuring the oven door is fully closed.  
Storage and re-heating of 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.  
Points to consider when preparing food for “SLOW” cooking:  
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 lb) 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 170oC 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 for a 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.

COOKING MEAT/POULTRY IN THE TOP OVEN  
Small joints of meat up to 1.5Kg (3 lbs) and poultry up to 3.6Kg (8lbs) can be roasted in a small  
meat pan in the top oven.  
IF USING ALUMINIUM FOIL  
1. Never allow foil to touch sides of oven.  
2. Never cover interior with foil.  
3. Never cover shelves with foil.  
The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert  
a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a joint of meat, or the thickest part of poultry  
thighs, during the cooking period. The meat thermometer will indicate  
when the required internal temperature has been reached.

Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off  
and the appliance is fully cold.  
1. “CREDACLEAN” OVEN LINERS (TOP OVEN) (E530E)  
(a) How "Credaclean" works.  
TOP OVEN SIDE LINERS  
The surfaces of the "Credaclean" oven liners are treated 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.  
(b) Cleaning.  
In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C (425°F) 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 ovens without shelves or meat pan, at a maximum setting  
for a couple of hours.  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the "Credaclean"  
panels with water. If the user feels it is desirable to do so, wipe  
them over with a clean, soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a  
clean damp cloth.

Care and Cleaning  
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.  
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool pad. For slight soiling the inner glass  
panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door. After cleaning, rinse  
and dry with a soft cloth.  
CLEANING THE DOORS

Installation  
Electrical Requirements  
For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a competent  
person such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for  
Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should be installed in accordance with  
the latest edition of the IEE Regulations.  
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.  
Electrical Connections  
The installer must check that the voltage shown at the rating plate corresponds with  
the house electricity supply.  
The cooker must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch, having a  
contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles placed in a readily accessible position  
adjacent to the cooker.  
If the cooker is to be wired into a connector unit, this may be positioned behind the  
cooker providing the following requirements are met:  
i) The connector unit must not project from the wall more than 25mm.  
ii) The top of the connector must not be more than 130mm above floor level.  
Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the cooker. Pass the cable through the  
cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided.  
Allow sufficient cable for any future servicing.  
Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the cover.  
Make main connections in the connector unit or cooker control unit.  
This appliance conforms to B.S. EN 55014 regarding suppression of Radio and  
Television reception interference.  
A double Pole control switch having a minimum rating of 32 amps should be used to  
feed the cooker using a suitably rated cable.  
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or over the cooker, a 45 amp Double Pole control  
switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated cables.  
We recommend a minimum of 4mm2 PVC insulated twin and earth cable conforming to  
B.S. 6004 for connection of each appliance.  
Where a hob is fitted above the cooker the cable connecting the hob to the cooker  
control unit must be of 2.5mm2 85o C heat resistant cable to BS6141 table 15  
In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 5).  
This appliance must not be installed over any other appliance that generates heat  
such as a plinth heater  
Note: Due to many different types of installation, a mains cable is not  
supplied with this product. The installer will fit the correct type and length of  
cable.

Installation  
Important  
It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated i.e.  
having side, back, and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which could  
permit access to the oven unit when installed.  
1. General  
The appliance is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing which  
must be secured to the backing wall.  
2. Ventilation  
a. The oven housing unit cabinet dimensions must comply with fig. 4.  
b. An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or bottom  
cupboards or shelves (see fig. 1).  
c. It is necessary that the cabinets are provided with unobstructed ventilation, i.e.  
from adjacent cabinetry. This can be done by either raising the base of the  
cabinets using the adjusting feet (or spacers) or alternatively by providing a slot in  
the cabinet plinth to the dimensions in fig. 1.  
d. The air gap at rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the inner cabinet space.  
Where it is intended to fit cupboards above the oven unit to ceiling height, it is  
essential that the warmed air is exhausted through the front of the cabinet  
(see fig. 1).  
e. If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from the oven  
when the door is opened could condense on and maybe stain the adjacent  
surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface should be made of a  
material that is heat resisting and easy to clean. Adjacent tall cabinets should not  
be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.  
3. Final Installation  
a. Using a spirit level, check that the housing cabinet is level from side to side and  
from front to back in its installed position.  
b. Correct any unevenness by placing spacers under the bottom of the cabinet.  
Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.  
c. Before the oven is fitted, the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing wall for  
stability.  
d. The oven unit should now be lifted (this is a two person lift) into the cabinet and  
pushed fully home.  
e. Finally, the oven is secured to the cabinet by means of the four Pozi Wash Head  
screws - two through each side trim.  
f. Remove all packaging material from the grill and oven interior.

4 x Pozi Wash Head No. 6 x 15mm screws.
