INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
GETTING THINGS READY
WARNINGS:
CHOICE OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This cooker must be installed by a qualified
electrician/competent person. Safety may be
impaired if installation is not carried out in
accordance with these instructions.
There are three possible ways to connect your
cooker. In each case the cooker should be
operated using at least 6mm² twin core and earth
PVC insulated multicore cable. Please choose
from the most appropriate after reading the
different methods:-
This cooker must be earthed.
Do not remove the screws from the earth tab
extending from the oven mains terminal block
(Fig. 6).
a) By connecting the cooker to a cooker point
(having a double pole isolating switch with at
least 3mm contact separation in all poles and
neutral) and protected with a fuse or miniature
circuit breaker at your mains fuse box.
Before connecting the cooker make sure that the
voltage of your electricity supply is the same as
that indicated on the rating plate. The rating plate
can be seen by opening the oven door and
looking below the oven door seal.
Subject to Regional Electricity Companies
regulations if you wish to connect the oven
and hob to the power supply you may use
one of the following two methods:-
Do not alter the electrical circuitry of this cooker.
THINGS TO NOTE
This cooker is designed to be fitted in cabinets of
the recommended dimensions as shown (Fig. 2).
b) By connecting the cooker together with a hob
directly to a cooker point(s). Having a double
pole isolating switch with at least 3mm contact
separation in all poles and neutral.
If your cabinet interior dimension is between
565-570mm the oven may still be fitted. However
a minor modification to the cabinet will be
required.
c) If you wish to connect an oven and a hob to a
cooker point you can by connecting the oven and
hob separately to the cooker point. Oven and
hob units should be separately connected to a
control panel. See Fig. 1.
The dimensions given provide adequate air
circulation around the unit within the cabinet,
ensuring compliance with BS EN60-335.
Enquiries regarding the installation of the cooker
point, if required, should be made to your
Regional Electricity Company to ensure
compliance with their regulations.
The cooker socket switch should be outside the
cabinet but within 2m of the cooker to make it
accessible to switch off the cooker in case of an
emergency.

NOTE: It is good practice to:
Fit an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker to your
house wiring.
Wire your appliance to the latest IEE regulations.
PREPARING CABINET FOR FITTING OF OVEN
Make sure the cabinet is the correct size for the
appliance to be fitted (Ref. Fig. 2).
If the size is between 565-570mm, then the
cabinet should be modified so that at the screw
fixing points the recommended dimension of at
least 560-565mm is maintained. The modification
should ideally be localised to ensure that after
screw fitment the oven is securely fixed into
position.
The cabinet must be stable and level by firmly
securing it to the wall or floor. If necessary,
make arrangements to ensure the shelf upon
which the oven will rest is level.

INTRODUCTION
RATING PLATE
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
Record the model and serial numbers of your cooker
on the back cover of this instruction book. These
numbers can be found on the lower front frame of the
cooker upon opening the oven door.
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.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
is switched on and after a short time when the oven
is in use. It runs on after the controls are switched off
until the cooker has cooled. During the initial period
the cooling fan may cycle ON and OFF, this is quite
normal.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is
given on the rating plate.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE
OVENS
Do not switch off the cooker at its power point before
the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short
period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
During this period an unpleasant odour may be
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window
for ventilation.
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
ON. The neons also indicate when the set
temperature has been reached.
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and reset following the
instructions for the required setting.
When the cooker is first switched on at the wall the
timer will make an audible sound. To stop the sound
press both timer buttons together.
To set the time of day and use the minute minder
refer to instructions on page 17.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the cooker 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 cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

THE GRILL
USES OF THE DUAL GRILL
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD
BE KEPT AWAY.
The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the whole area of the grill can be used or, for economy purposes the
centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.
SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL
Ensure your hand is protected when removing
the grill pan handle as the grill element can
become very hot.
Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or
anticlockwise for the centre section only.
Ensure the second oven control is in the OFF
position 'O'.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE
DURING GRILLING
THINGS TO NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN
DURING GRILLING
1. The cooling fan for the controls will operate in
conjunction with the grill.
2. The outer grill element may appear to glow
slightly brighter than the inner element. This is
quite normal.
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf, ensure
that the cut-out on the underside of the handle
bracket locates over the front bar of the shelf.
3. The dual grill operates independently of the oven.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To insert the handle, press the button on the handle
with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards
inserting the lip into the widest part of the bracket.
Move the handle towards the left, lower into position
and release the button.
Ensure the handle is positively located.
When removing the handle press the button on the
handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly
upwards and towards the right to remove from the
bracket.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking.

Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
HINTS AND TIPS
Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift
the food out of the fats and juices. Food such as
fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on
the grill pan base if preferred.
When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used with the grid in its 'high'
position.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust
the heat setting and the shelf as necessary
during cooking.
The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food. Position
the food close to the element for faster cooking
and further away for more gentle cooking.
Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish
lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.

THE SECOND OVEN
USES OF THE SECOND OVEN
The second oven is also ideal for use as a warming
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot.
Use a temperature setting of 80° - 100°C on the
second oven temperature control.
The second 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 and savoury flans or quiche.
SELECTING THE SECOND OVEN
Ensure the grill control is in the off, 'O' position.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
Turn the second oven temperature control to the
required setting.
The cranked shelf 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 second oven indicator neon will glow until
the oven has reached the desired temperature
and then go out. It will cycle ON and OFF
periodically during cooking showing that the
temperature is being maintained.
2. The cooling fan for the controls will operate, after
a period of time.
3. Dishes, tins or trays should not be placed directly
on the oven floor as it becomes very hot and
damage will occur.
HINTS AND TIPS
All cooking should be carried out on shelf
positions one and two using a cranked shelf.
When more space is required, for example when
roasting or casseroling, a straight shelf from the
main oven may be placed on the second oven
base.
23
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc.,
place the tins or baking trays centrally below the
element.
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf
and there is sufficient room around the baking
tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.
Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to
prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help
reduce cleaning.
The material and finish of the baking tray 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.
DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking
tray as this will increase base browning of the
food.
Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations on page 27.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
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.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 27. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own
recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting.
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 cycle ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
2) The oven fan will operate continually during
cooking.
3) The cooling fan for the controls operates after a
period of time.
4) The internal oven light will come on.
25
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
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. Only use
straight shelves in the main oven.
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. However, non critical dishes may be
placed on the oven base when more space is
required.
Back of the oven
Straight Rods
Frame
HINTS AND TIPS
Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelves are
numbered from the bottom upwards.
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, see page 27.
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.
When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.
Do not use the cranked shelf from the grill in the
main oven.

DEFROSTING
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
Turn the main oven temperature control to the
defrost setting .
HINTS AND TIPS
Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
This function DOES NOT require a temperature
setting on the oven temperature control.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. Care must always be taken when handling foods
in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food
hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and cross
contamination when defrosting, preparing,
cooking, cooling and freezing foods.
2. The oven fan and internal oven light will come
on.
The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.
3. The cooling fan does not operate.
DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it
is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge.

HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD
Care must 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 preparing, reheating, cooking,
cooling, defrosting and freezing foods:-
10. Cook meat thoroughly - use a meat thermometer
if preferred, which penetrates the joint to check
that the centre temperature has reached the
required temperature (see table below).
MEAT
Beef
TEMPERATURES
1. Always ensure food you purchase is of good
quality and in prime condition. Shop at a reliable
source and buy the 'freshest' looking package -
avoid shop-worn labels or produce covered in
dust.
Rare - 60°C
Medium -70°C
Well Done - 80°C
Pork
Well Done - 80°C
Lamb
Medium - 70°C
Well Done - 80°C
2. Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you
cannot store them straight away. The use of an
insulated container when shopping is advisable.
11. If not eaten straightaway after cooking, food
should be cooled as quickly as possible (within
one hour) and then refrigerated or frozen as
required. (Do not put hot food into a Refrigerator
or Freezer).
3. Buy and consume foods prior to the 'Sell by' or
'Best Before' date.
4. When you arrive home, place perishable foods in
the refrigerator or freezer immediately. Ensure
they are well covered to prevent them drying out
and to prevent any possible cross contamination
with bacteria from raw to cooked foods.
12. In the kitchen keep work tops, chopping boards
and utensils clean with hot soapy water between
preparation stages. Ideally, keep one chopping
board for raw meat and another for other foods.
Keep your dish cloths and tea towels clean.
5. Follow the cooking instructions on packets of
prepacked and cook chill foods, but be prepared
to adjust cooking time and temperatures to suit
your particular oven. For example, the fan oven
generally requires 20-25°C lower temperature
than conventional ovens.
6. Always ensure that cook chill foods are
thoroughly re-heated until they are piping hot
throughout.
7. It is preferable to defrost frozen foods slowly in
the refrigerator. Alternatively,
a
microwave
cooker or the Defrost function on your oven may
be used.
8. Always cook defrosted foods immediately after
thawing. Thawed food should never be refrozen.
9. Joints of meat and poultry should be thoroughly
defrosted before cooking.

CARE AND CLEANING
The vitreous enamel oven base can be cleaned
using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners
with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions
are followed and that all parts are well rinsed
afterwards.
BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW
THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE
COOKER DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING
OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
CLEANING MATERIALS
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean
surfaces and must not come into contact with
elements or the door seal as this may cause
damage.
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR,
GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID AND OVEN
SHELVES
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
All parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed
in the dishwasher. Alternatively, soak them in hot
soapy water if they are heavily soiled. They will then
clean more easily.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF
THE COOKER
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or scourers
on the outside of the cooker, as some of the finishes
are painted and damage may occur. regularly wipe
over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides
using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
The grill pan, meat tin and grill deflector may be
cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.
The grill pan grid and oven shelves should be
cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy
water will make cleaning easier.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND
INNER DOOR GLASS
The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.
TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS
1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the
two cross head screws on the top of the oven
door.
2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive
screwdriver.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS
3. Hold the door glass securely with one hand,
before removing the screws completely with the
other hand.
MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS
HAZARD.
A
SAFETY
4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door
glass towards you. Lift slightly to disengage the
locators from the two bottom brackets. As you do
this the door will close.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVENS
The Stayclean surface inside the main oven should
not be cleaned manually. See page 32 "Care of
Stayclean Surfaces".
31
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surface may occur in time. This does
not affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy
water or Flash Cream cleaner. DO NOT try to
clean the aluminium foil which is inside the door.
The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is
damaged it will not work. Ensure that all parts are
well rinsed and thoroughly dry before attempting
to replace the outer door glass.
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 from
working.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS
1. Holding the oven glass with both hands, gently
place the locators into the holes of the brackets
at the bottom of the oven door.
Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven
door ensuring the screw location holes line up.
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.
3. Hold the glass in place at the top of the door. Still
holding the glass, carefully open the door and
insert the cross head screw into the location
holes. Give the screws one turn to ensure the
glass is secure.
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.
4. Tighten the screws positively with the Pozidrive
screwdriver before closing the oven door.
DO NOT attempt to use the oven without the
glass being in place.
It is not necessary to add water to the 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.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND
GRILL COMPARTMENTS
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 overbrowned.
The vitreous enamel coating in the oven and grill
cavities can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners
or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the
manufacturers instructions are followed and that all
parts are well rinsed afterwards.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C.
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.
HINTS AND TIPS

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB
The type of bulb required is a 300C 25 watt small
Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1.
(Available through Tricity Bendix service centres).
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE COOKER FROM
THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING
THE BULB.
Open door and remove the shelves to enable easy
access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat blade
screwdriver between the oven side and the glass
which covers the bulb.
Support the glass with your hand and prise out
sufficiently to release the glass cover. Unscrew the
bulb in an anti-clockwise direction until it is possible
to remove the bulb with ease.
Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise direction
until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the flange is
pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the glass by
pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the bulb
assembly.
Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply
and adjust the time of day and clock, as necessary.
