Control Knobs
This control switches on the top and bottom heating
elements in the top oven. The temperature in the
oven can be set anywhere between 100 °C and 250
°C. The top oven/grill pilot light will glow initially and
remain on until the oven reaches the required
temperature. It will then cycle off and on, as the
oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
The off position is identified by an “0”.
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.
!: Always ens ure that all controls are in the OFF
pos ition, when the appliance is not in us e.
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.
Main oven control
This control switches on the main oven. To select
Fan Cooking - Turn the control clockwise and select
any temperature between 80 °C and 250 °C. As the
control is turned the fan will start, the oven interior
light and the main oven pilot light will come on and
the heating element around the fan will start heating.
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on
throughout cooking. The main oven thermostat light
will come on until the oven reaches the required
temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the oven
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Turn the control to 12 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.
Operating the controls when the grill is in us e
Slow cooking ‘S’
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.
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 Working of the Heating Zones
Heating only occurs within the marked circular
cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down
quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive
foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal
limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the
ceramic glass from overheating. After several
minutes at full power without a pan on the heating
zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating
elements off and on automatically to avoid any
damage to the ceramic glass.
•
Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as
these will extend cooking times, waste electricity
and cause damaging, local hotspots on the
glass surface.
Pans with ridged or recessed bases.
Pans with damaged or rough bases which could
scratch the glass surface.

In order to keep your ceramic hob in good
condition, follow thes e s imple
g u id e lin e s :
A short time (approx. 30 seconds) after the hob
heating areas have been turned on, the Hob Hot
neon will illuminate.
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a
cooking utensil, as this will result in damage
to the surface of the hob.
This light will remain illuminated until all the hob
controls have been turned off and all hob heating
areas have cooled.
Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as
damage may occur to the smooth surface of
the hob.
The HOT HOB indicator light:
Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as
this will cause scratches in the surface of the
hob.
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact
with the hob surround.
This indicates that the temperature of the
corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C,
even when the heating element has been switched
off but is still hot.
Do not place anything between the base of
the utensil and the ceramic hob,
Choice of s aucepans
It is essential that the saucepan's you use on the
ceramic hob are suitable.
e.g. do not use asbestos mats,
aluminium or wok stand.
Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible
items on the hob when it is not in use.
Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic
containers on the hob.
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas
switched On unless they are being used.
Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they
are switched On. We recommend not to
place large preserving pans or fish kettles
across two heating areas.
ALWAYS USE:
•
•
•
•
Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy
bases.
saucepan's manufactured from aluminium
(enamelled or machined) or stainless steel.
Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan
must cover the heating zone completely.

NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and
injuries are caused almost invariably by picking
up the burning pan and rushing outside with it.
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan
fire, as the force of the extinguisher is likely to
tip the pan over.
Do
Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both
clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between the
pan and the hob can cause pitting of the
surface of the glass.
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that
you FACE and ARMS are WELL PROTECTED
from the flames to save you from becoming hurt.
3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE
PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES
BEFORE MOVING IT.
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a
base diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be
used on the front cooking areas.

Setting the Grill
GB
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.
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME
HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN
SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN
WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED.

Top Oven -
Conventional Cooking
The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is
provided by the grill element and the element under
the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of
cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc. but can also
be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).
GB
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf
positioning.
The top oven can be used either independently to
cook small quantities of food or in conjunction with
the main oven to provide additional cooking space.
The s helf s hould be pos itioned on the firs t or
s econd runner from the bottom.
To us e the oven proceed as follows :
l
l
l
Set the top oven control to the required
temperature, the top oven light will come on and
wait for the thermostat light to go off, indicating
that the oven has reached the right temperature.
The food to be cooked should be placed in the
centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm
(1in) between it and the grill element. This
should avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
Do not place food or dishes on the floor of
the oven.
Plate warming in the top oven
Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the top oven
will be heated when the main oven is in use. When
the main oven is not in use, for instance when a meal
is being cooked on the hob, place the plates and
serving dishes on the shelf using the bottom runner
and turn the top oven control to approximately 100
°C. A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is
required to heat the plates and dishes.
NEVER operate the grill control when using the top
oven for cooking or warming plates and dishes.
WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items china
or items which could be affected by heat into
the oven.

Cookery Notes
GB
This control switches on the main oven. To select
Fan Cooking - Turn the control 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
thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on
and off as the oven maintains the temperature at a
constant level.
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on
throughout cooking. The 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.
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 more than
one level, because the forced circulation of hot air
gives an even temperature from the top to the bottom
of the oven.
To us e the oven proceed as follows :
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.

Points to cons ider when preparing food for
GB
"SLOW" cooking:
"Slow" cook is identified as 'S' on the oven
temperature scale. 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.
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 (4 lb 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 meat 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.
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.
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 food first with foil and then the
lid to prevent loss of moisture.
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
Main Oven Temperature Control 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.
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.Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking
and should be included in day cooking sessions,
where they can be checked from time to time.
WARNING! The oven is
provided with a stop sys-
tem to extract the racks
and prevent them from
coming out of the oven.(1)
As shown in the drawing,
to extract them comple-
tely, simply lift the racks,
holding them on the front
part, and pull (2).

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.
'STAY CLEAN' Oven liners
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the 'Stay

How "STAY CLEAN" works :
Control Panel

aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
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 maximum setting for
a couple of hours.
Decorative Trims
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly
to prevent any build up of soiling. The
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.
Ceramic hob
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.
Ovens
Remove the rod shelves. Use a fine steel wool soap
pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves
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.

Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay
cooking” option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by
switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the
end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates
5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting
lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption
• Use purely flat pots and pans
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,
it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as
fast and saves a third of the energy.
