INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
The cable must be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
This is situated on the front frame of the appliance
and can be seen upon opening the door.
Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on
the back or top of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
To move the appliance, open the main oven door,
and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
INSTALLATION
If your appliance has been damaged in transit,
contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt
to install it.
Your appliance left the factory fully packaged to
protect it from damage. If it is delivered without
packaging and damage has occurred, the
manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Contact
your supplier for advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the appliance
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance as
damage may occur.
This is a type Y appliance which means it is free-
standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one or
both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Ensure that the appliance is standing level.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation in all poles. The cable
must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-
sectional area to prevent overheating and
deterioration.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the appliance is
required to enable the appliance to be moved into
position.
The recommended cross-section area is six square
millimetres (6.00mm2).
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.

Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time
cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the
appliance. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable
to tile behind the appliance.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
or top oven is switched on and after a time when the
main fan oven is in use. The operation of the cooling
fan is temperature dependent in the case of the main
oven and the cooling fan may not switch in at all at
low temperature settings or where the main oven has
only been used for a short time.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
The cooling fan may run on after the control knobs
have been switched off until the appliance has
cooled. If an automatic programme has been set the
cooling fan does not come on until the cooktime
begins. Do not switch the appliance off at its power
point until the cooling fan has cooled the appliance
down.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
The neons also indicate when the set temperature
has been reached. They will turn on and off during
use to show that the temperature is being
maintained.
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
15 minutes at 220oC to burn off any residue from
their surfaces.
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for
approximately 5 – 10 minutes. During this period an
odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to
open a window for ventilation.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and re-set following the
instructions for the required setting.
When the oven has been set for automatic cooking
the neon will remain unlit until the cooktime begins.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
COOKWARE
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance when opening the oven door to
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm
(12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

prepared food is fresh and of good quality.
When cooking is complete, do not leave food to
stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly
if the food is not to be consumed immediately.
Always ensure food in the oven has been
covered before cooking if it is not possible to
remove food immediately after cooking.

THE CERAMIC HOB
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A
FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE
APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR
LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE.
USING THE HOB
12.30
NOTE
S To operate the dual hotplate, turn the control
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch
ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being
used. This is due to a safety device which prevents
the glass from overheating. Some switching ON and
OFF when cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep
fat frying is quite normal, causes no damage to the
hob and little delay in cooking times.
knob clockwise for the full area or anti-clockwise
for the centre section.
S The inner section is very economical when
cooking with small diameter saucepans.
S For single hotplates, turn the control knob in
either direction to vary the heat setting. The
highest number represents the hottest setting
and the lowest number represents the coolest
setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the
quantity and type of food to be cooked.
Excessive switching may however be caused by the
use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which
is smaller than the heated area.
If excessive
switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.
S This model has the added feature of Rapid
Power Zone hotplates which react more quickly
than the other ceramic hotplates and are easily
identified by their instant red glow.
HINTS AND TIPS
S Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
heated areas. This will reduce the risk of
scratches and metal marks from saucepans with
aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily
cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn
on.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality saucepans
with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended.
The saucepan base should be
approximately the same size as the cooking area, a
base diameter of up to 225mm (9”) may be used on a
180mm (7”) heated area.
S Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to
remove edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
S Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases
are available and do comply with the above
recommendations.

Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the
surface so will not brown on the upperside if not
turned. Once cooked, drain the food on
absorbent paper.
S To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
S Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.
S Never use an asbestos mat.
5. Double frying chips.
S Never leave the hotplates ON when not
covered with a saucepan.
Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the
chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal
the outside. Remove the chips from the oil.
Increase the temperature of the oil to
190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the
chips.
S Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean
and dry before the start of cooking to reduce
cleaning.
S Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to
keep the hob looking like new.
S If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.
jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the
hob before it sets and becomes hard
otherwise damage to the hob will occur.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan
one third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid
and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the
unfortunate event of a fire, switch the cooker OFF at
the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or
damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.
PRESERVING
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of
the hob trim.
2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be
no more than one third full when all the
ingredients have been added. It is better to use
two pans rather than overfill one, or use half
quantities.
DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool
for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the
hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently
switched ON.
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
1. Preparing the food.
Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and
breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with
batter coated foods as they will stick.
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally
good flavour.
2. Amount of oil.
5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not
completely dissolved before bringing jam to the
boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting
properties and colour of the jam.
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full
of oil.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil.
6. To test jam for setting:
It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the
temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small
cube of bread into the oil which should brown in
just under a minute if the oil is at the correct
temperature of 190°C/375°F.
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.
If a jam thermometer is not available, remove
pan from heat, place sample of jam on a cold
dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen
food storage compartment of a refrigerator).
When cold it will crinkle and hold the mark of a
finger run through it, if it is at setting point.
4. Cooking the food.
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do Not add
too much food at once or the temperature of the
oil will be reduced and may result in soggy,
greasy food.
7. The scum should be removed as soon as
possible after setting point has been reached.
Marmalade should be allowed to cool before
potting to prevent the peel rising.

THE TOP OVEN
USES OF THE TOP OVEN
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is
designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or
savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the lowest
setting on the top oven temperature control.

and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
S The cooling fan will operate immediately with the
top oven. For more details on cooling fan
operation see page 9.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is
in use. Only the outer part of the top oven
element in conjunction with the base element will
operate when using the top oven.
2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will then turn ON and OFF
showing that the oven temperature is being
maintained.
3. The cooling fan will operate. For more details
about the cooling fan see page 9.
4. The interior oven light will come on.
5. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm.
Never place dishes directly on the top oven base
as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

HINTS AND TIPS
S DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly
onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage may occur.
S Most cooking should be carried out using an
oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
S Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be
cooked in the main oven. However, they may be
cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the
top oven provided there is sufficient room for air
circulation around the food.
S The material and finish of the baking trays and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning of
the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
S Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
S DO NOT use the grill pan as a baking tray as this
will increase base browning of the food.
S Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations on page 24.
S For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.
S There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)
between the top of the food and the element.
This gives best cooking results and allows room
for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc.
S When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc.,
place the tins or baking trays centrally on the
shelf directly below the element.

THE MAIN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven
and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fan
oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without
preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the
oven first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperature
recommended in the chart on page 24. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own
recipes, using a conventional oven.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
12.30
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
S Turn the main fan oven temperature control to
the required setting.
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The main oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
2. The interior oven light will come ON when the
main oven control is turned.
3. The cooling fan for the controls may switch in
after a time. See page 9 for more information on
the operation of the cooling fan.

HINTS AND TIPS
AUTOMATIC COOKING
S Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions
are numbered from the bottom upwards.
If you use the automatic timer to cook food in the
main oven be guided by the recommendations below.
*
*
It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as
short a time as possible
When cooking is complete do not leave food to
stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly if
the food is not to be consumed immediately.
*
Always ensure food in the oven is covered if is not
possible to remove food immediately after
cooking.
S When cooking more than one dish in the fan
oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves
rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf,
this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the
best cooking results.
S When batch baking one type of food e.g. Victoria
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.
S It is recommended that when baking larger
quantities, the shelf positions should be evenly
spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight
increase in cooking time may be necessary.
S DO NOT place baking trays directly on the oven
base as it interferes with the oven air circulation
and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf
position.
S The use of excessively high temperatures can
cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to
reduce temperatures slightly.
Refer to the
recommendations given in the oven cooking
chart on page 24.

DEFROST FEATURE
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed
or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be
thawed in 1 – 2 hours.
USES OF DEFROST FEATURE
This main oven function defrosts most foods faster
than more conventional methods. It is particularly
suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be
served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered
with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits,
scones, etc.
A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in
approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon
as possible during the thawing process.
Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be
thawed using the defrost function.
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly
in the fridge. However, this process can be
accelerated by using the defrost function.
ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE
THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.

S Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
S When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon
may come ON. It will stay ON until the oven
reaches room temperature and then go OFF.
S It may turn ON and OFF periodically during
defrosting to maintain
temperature, inside the oven.

THINGS TO NOTE
Care must always be taken when handling foods in
the home. Always follow the basic rules of food
hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth
and cross contamination when defrosting, preparing,
cooking, cooling and freezing foods.
S The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.
S DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it
is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled.

3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the
cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided. Multi-surface anti-bacterial
cleaning products should not be used on the ceramic
hob or on the surrounding trims.
a) Cif Cream Cleaner
b) Baking Soda
CLEANING THE HANDLES
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the handles.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning.
It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to
prevent soilage being burnt on.
TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS
1. Bar Keepers Friend may be used to clean off
more

2. Use
a
plastic pad specially for non-stick
saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal
of more stubborn soilage.
Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If
soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much
easier to clean off.
TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE
We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob
Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to
remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar
solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent
damage.
1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre
of each area to be cleaned.
1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle
of 30° to remove as much soilage as possible.
3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off
as directed above.
2. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad
made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub
vigorously until all marks are removed. This may
take a few minutes.

thoroughly washed off afterwards.
models finish with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the
stainless steel finish must be wiped off
immediately.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish.
HINTS AND TIPS
TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:
S Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the
cooking area are clean and dry before cooking
begins.
S Ensure saucepans are large enough to
accommodate food to avoid boil overs.
S If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they
occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS
THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY
HAZARD.
S Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the
hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent
on the hob surface which will burn and discolour
the next time the hob is used.
S Avoid the use of:
S Household detergents and bleaches.
S Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are
not described as suitable for non-stick
saucepans.
S Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.
S Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and
oven pads.
S Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN
FURNITURE
S Any of the above products may cause
damage to the hob.
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
S It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each other
with hazardous results.
The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be
cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning
easier.
S SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE
SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
S Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the
hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.

S Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND
GRILL COMPARTMENTS
soilage to a minimum.
The top, sides and back of the grill / top oven
compartment and main oven compartments are
coated with a special Stayclean coating.
S Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for
an increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
The Stayclean surfaces inside the ovens should not
be cleaned manually. See below, ‘Care of Stayclean
Surfaces’.
S Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat
before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during
roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
The vitreous enamel in the grill/top oven base and
the main oven base can be cleaned using normal
oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the
manufacturers instructions are followed and that all
parts are well rinsed afterwards.
S It is not necessary to add water to a meat tin
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from
the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking even at normal temperatures as well as
causing condensation.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the
Stayclean surfaces and must not come into
contact with the elements or the door seal as this
may cause damage.
S Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow
extra browning if required. Some large joints and
turkeys especially benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before
the outside is over-browned.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C.
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS
It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two
per week to ensure continued good performance
from the Stayclean finish.
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
