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 ensure that all controls are in the OFF  
position, when the appliance is not in use.  
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 use  
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  
NEVER USE:  
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.  
Glass or glass ceramic utensils.  
Do Not  
The active hotplate pilot light  
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good  
condition, follow these simple  
guidelines:  
A short time (approx. 30 seconds) after the hob heating  
areas have been turned on, the Hob Hot neon will  
illuminate.  
This light will remain illuminated until all the hob  
controls have been turned off and all hob heating areas  
have cooled.  
Do not  
cook directly on the hob surface without a  
cooking utensil, as this will result in damage  
to the surface of the hob.  
Do not  
Do not  
use the hob as a worktop surface as damage  
may occur to the smooth surface of the hob.  
drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as  
this will cause scratches in the surface of the  
hob.  
allow a cooking utensil to come into contact  
with the hob surround.  
place anything between the base of the  
utensil and the ceramic hob, e.g. do  
not use asbestos mats, aluminium  
or wok stand.  
The HOT HOB indicator light:  
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.

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.

Do not  
leave utensils partly covering the heated  
areas. Always ensure that they are placed  
centrally over the heated areas and have the  
same diameter as the heating area used.  
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.  
GB  
Do  
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.  
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.  
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.

Grilling  
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.

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 shelf should be positioned on the first or second  
runner from the bottom.  
To use 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  
has reached the right temperature.  
oven  
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.

Main 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 use 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.

Using The Main Oven  
for other Functions  
Points to consider when preparing food for „SLOW”  
cooking:  
‚S’ SLOW setting  
GB  
„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 ap-  
pearance 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 ther-  
mometer 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 coo-  
king. 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 ensu-  
ring the oven door is fully closed.  
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even  
sized small pieces to cook properly.  
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 refrige-  
rator before re-heating.  
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is  
piping hot before serving.  
4. Only re-heat food once.  
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.

Care and Cleaning  
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.  
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE  
COOKER IS COLD BEFORE CLEANING.  
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT  
ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.  
GB  
Grill  
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING  
POWDER,HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS,  
AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL  
CLEANERS OF ANY KIND, UNLESS SPECIFIED  
BELOW.  
Remove 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.  
‚STAY CLEAN’ Oven liners  
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‚Stay  
clean’ panels.  
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.  
How „STAY CLEAN” works:  
The surfaces of the ‚Stay clean’ 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 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.  
Ovens  
Ceramic hob  
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.  
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.  
Oven Shelf Supports  
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher  
safe.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.  
Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.  
Special Powder Cleanser.  
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.  
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. Do not use  
abrasive cleaners or the powder cleanser on the  
painted metal framework.  
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear  
fixing hole and push in the front leg.
