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 top cavity 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.
REAR VIEW
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.

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 operates immediately when the grill
or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled.
Note: The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the top oven or grill have been used and at
what temperature. It may not run on where the grill
or top oven has been used for a short time or at low
temperatures.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
Do not switch the appliance off at its power point
until the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
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.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
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.
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.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to
remove edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
S Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
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.

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 leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the
hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently
switched ON.
1. Preparing the food.
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
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 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 on one level and for small 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 a
temperature setting of 80°C - 100°C on the top oven control dial.

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 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. 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 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 22.
S For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.
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 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 FAN 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 22. 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
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.

HINTS AND TIPS
S Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions
are numbered from the bottom upwards.
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
floor 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 22.

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.
SELECTING DEFROST
HINTS AND TIPS
S Turn the main oven temperature control to the
defrost setting.
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.
a
steady room
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.

CLEANING MATERIALS
more
stubborn
stains
or
to
remove
discolourations.
Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for
several minutes.
2. Use
a
plastic pad specially for non-stick
saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal
of more stubborn soilage.
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.
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 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.
Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the
ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the
cleaning agents recommended.
DAILY CLEANING
1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If
soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much
easier to clean off.
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.
1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre
of each area to be cleaned.
TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR
WHITE AND SILVER MARKS
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.
These marks sometimes give the impression of being
in or underneath the hob glass. They can almost
always be removed provided they have not become
excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions above
under ‘To Remove more Stubborn Marks’.
3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.
If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part
water to three parts Cream of Tarter and leave on the
discoloured areas overnight. The marks should be
easily removable the next day provided they have not
been excessively burnt on. The paste should be
thoroughly washed off afterwards.

HINTS AND TIPS
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob
Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur.
S Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the
cooking area are clean and dry before cooking
begins.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors
and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy
S Ensure saucepans are large enough to
water.
To prevent streaking on stainless steel

models finish with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the
stainless steel finish must be wiped off
immediately.
S If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they
occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish.
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.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY
HAZARD.
S Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and
oven pads.
S Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.
S Any of the above products may cause
damage to the hob.
S It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.
The chemicals in them may react with each other
with hazardous results.
S SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST
BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE
SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN
FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
S Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the
hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.
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.
CLEANING THE PLATED HANDLES
(Where applicable)
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND
GRILL COMPARTMENTS
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water
is used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE PLATED
FINISH.
The top, sides and back of the main oven
compartment are coated with a special Stayclean
coating.
The Stayclean surfaces inside the main oven should
not be cleaned manually. See page 27 ‘Care of
Stayclean Surfaces’.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
The vitreous enamel in the grill/top oven
compartment and on 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.
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:
S

NOT recommended.
Damage will occur if
abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used.
S Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This
DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in
any way.
Bath/Sink stain removers
S A good time to allow the oven to run on is after
the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn
the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour
or so. It is important NOT to allow a build-up of
soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean
surfaces from working.
S Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
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.
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.
