The recommended temperatures given are for conventional and fan  
ovens. When using a fan oven it will be necessary to reduce the cooking  
time by 10 minutes per hour and lower the temperature by up to 20˚C.  
Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessary to pre-heat the oven.  
However, pre-heating is recommended when cooking items such as  
Yorkshire puddings, whisked sponges and bread.Your experience with the  
cooker will enable you to select the cooking time and temperature best  
suited for your recipe.  
Temperatures  
Condensation  
Condensation may become evident on the inner door and water may drip  
through the vent. This is normal when heat and moisture are present and  
may be the result of any of the following:  
1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.  
2. The moisture content of the food:  
eg. meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, roasting meat, etc.  
3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one time.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING  
1.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
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.  
5.  
6.  
7.  
Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

Top Oven Cookery Notes  
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.  
There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from  
the base), do not use shelves upside down.  
Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the oven floor.  
There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between the top of the food  
and the grill element.  
Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when main oven is in use.  
To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise. The top oven pilot  
light will come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required  
temperature.The pilot light will automatically go on and off during  
cooking as the thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
Operation  
Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs), or poultry, up to 3.6kg (8 lbs)  
(60cm cookers) in weight can be roasted in a small meat pan in the top  
oven. Larger joints of meat/poultry weighing more than 3.6kg (8 lbs)  
(60cm cookers) should be roasted in the main oven.  
Cooking meat/  
poultry  
Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven as air  
circulation will be seriously restricted.  
Top oven as  
a warming  
compartment  
for plates  
Place the plates/dishes on the shelf, positioned on runner 1, turn top  
oven control to 100˚C for 10-15 minutes. Never use grill control.

Main Oven Cookery Notes  
The oven is fitted with wirework shelf supports and two rod shelves.  
To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting the require  
temperature between 80°C (176°F) and 230°C (450°F) as recommended in  
the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and  
remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will  
then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat  
maintains the correct temperature.  
It should be noted that 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 a perfectly normal characteristic of an  
oven with a good door seal.  
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. However, foods such as bread, scones,Yorkshire pudding, do  
benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.  
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 10°C.  
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts food should be placed in a cold  
oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the  
suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and  
quantity of food being cooked.  
Oven positions  
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven is very even, most  
foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should  
be evenly spaced.  
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large  
quantities of food. Additional shelves can be purchased through your  
oven supplier or our Parts Department (see Key Contacts, back page).  
Food or utensils should Never be placed directly an the floor of the  
oven for cooking.  
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be  
seriously restricted. To ensure oven circulation do not use meat pans larger  
than 390 x 300mm (15”x12”) and baking trays no larger than 330 x 255mm  
(13”x 10”), 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.  
Temperature  
and time  
When all three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home  
freezing or parties, 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 equal gap at either side of the oven.  
Frozen meat  
and poultry  
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a  
domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g (1 lb), or at room  
temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g (1 lb).

Care and Cleaning  
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.  
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS,  
AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND,  
UNLESS SPECIFIED BELOW.  
Cleaning materials to avoid:  
1. Plastic or nylon pads  
2. Household abrasive powders and scourers. These may scratch the surface.  
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.  
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame.  
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.  
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AT THE MAINS SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.  
Electric sealed hotplates:  
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a soap filled Brillo  
pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages  
are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been  
removed. Finally, turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear a little cooking oil to  
provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent Homecare Four Hob, available from our  
Parts Department or leading supermarkets. The bezels will mellow with use to a burnished gold  
colour, a soap filled Brillo pad will help to keep them bright, care should be taken not to damage  
the vitreous enamel hob surface.  
Note: We DO NOT recommend the use of decorative covers over the hotplates as these can hold  
condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental operation with a cover in place can cause intense  
heat. Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause corrosion.

Care and Cleaning  
Oven shelf supports  
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.  
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.  
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.  
Decorative trims  
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling which may  
detract from the appearance of the cooker.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.  
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners/powders which may scratch the surface.  
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift the door seal from the  
oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.  
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that the  
lettering is not blurred or removed.  
Control Panel:  
Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.  
Grill Door:  
Wipe over the grill door decorative outer panel; with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water, then  
after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.  
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch the surface.  
Ensure that the glass panel (where fitted) is not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.

Something Wrong with your Cooker?  
Before contacting your nearest Service Centre/Installer, check the problem guide  
below; there may be nothing wrong with your cooker.  
Problem  
Slight odour or small amount of  
smoke when grill / oven used for  
first time  
This is normal and should cease after a short period.  
Nothing works  
If you find that the timer display is blank, then it is likely that there is no  
electricity supply to your oven. Check:  
(i) That the main cooker wall is switched on  
(ii) Other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut  
(iii) The main circuit breaker for the property  
Grill / Top Oven do not work -  
Main oven works  
Operating the cooker under the following conditions may cause a safety  
device to operate:  
(a) Grilling with the door closed - Always grill with the door fully open  
(b) Grilling for an excessively long period at maximum setting - see  
Grilling guide.  
Switch off appliance and allow to cool for approx 30 mins. Switch the  
cooker back on and check that the Grill / Top oven (as applicable) is  
now operating.  
Check temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the  
Oven Temperature Charts.  
It may be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended  
temperature slightly to suit your taste.  
Oven temperatures too high or  
low  
The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee. The part is easily  
changed (see the section on oven lamp replacement). A new lamp may  
be obtained from our Parts department, see Key Contacts, back page.  
Oven lamp does not work  
Grill does not work  
Ensure that the top oven control is turned fully off.  
Grill keeps turning on and off  
When the Grill control is operating at less than its maximum setting,  
the Grill will cycle on and off, this is normal and not a fault.  
The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but has  
now come back on again. Reset the timer to the correct time of day  
using the instructions given in the timer section of the book.  
Timer is showing ‘0.00’  
Timer bleeper operates  
continually  
To cancel the bleeper sound: press the ‘+’ button once.  
Draught from beneath  
control panel  
A gentle flow of air will be blown from beneath the control panel when  
the appliance is used. If the appliance is still warm, this cooling fan may  
run on, or restart itself when all controls have been turned off.  
The fan will stop once the appliance has been cooled. This is normal and  
not a fault.  
Condensation on the wall at the  
rear of the cooker  
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.  
Steam / Condensation in the  
oven after use  
Steam is a by - product of cooking any food with a high water contact.  
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.
