Do Not
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance
there could be some fire risk attached to the heating
of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking
utensils containing oil must not be left
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good
condition, follow these simple guidelines:
Do not stare at halogen heating units.
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 use the hob as a worktop surface as
damage may occur to the smooth surface of
the hob.
unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in
close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely
cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat
or oil.
Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as
this will cause scratches in the surface of the
hob.
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come
into contact with the hob
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the
heating or cooking period.
4. Do not 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.
surround.
Do not place anything between the base of the
utensil and the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use
asbestos mats, aluminium or wok stand.
Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible
items on the hob when it is not in use.
Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic
containers on the hob.
5. 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 too quickly.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from
streaks of oil or fat.
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas
switched On unless they are being used.
Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they
are switched On. We recommend
not to place large preserving pans
or fish kettles across two heating
areas.
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.
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the
hob.
Safety requirements for deep fat frying
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:
1. Switch Off the electricity supply.
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.
Do
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that
your 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).

CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot
during use. Young children should be kept
away.
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle
securely before use:
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external
‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits
exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)
and holds the pan from the bottom.
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.
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN
WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED.
The grill control is designed to provide variable heat
control of either the twin grill elements on together or
the single left hand grill element only, depending
upon which direction the control knob is rotated.
With the control rotated clockwise 1 through to 4 the
twin elements will come on together. With the control
turned anti-clockwise 1 through to 4 and the single
left hand element will come on only.
The control is Off at O.
Note: The grill will not operate unless the top

Solarplus Grill*
Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not
distorted - DO NOT store the grill pan handle on the
grill pan grid when the grill pan runners are on the
top runner position.
Warning: Accessible parts may become hot
during use. Young children should be kept
away.
GB
There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and
one on the right. You can choose to have both sides
on or just the left side on.
Turning the control knob clockwise, will switch both
sides on. Turning it anti-clockwise, will only switch
the left side on.
The numbers which are displayed indicate the heat
setting:
MAXIMUM is the hottest and MINIMUM the coolest.
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of
grill. The solarplus grill is designed to reduce your
grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less
time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills
require 5 minutes pre-heat before food is placed
beneath them, but for normal grilling the solarplus
grill can be used from cold without any pre-heat.
However, when toasting, optimum performance is
achieved by pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.
GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN
WITH THE TOP OVEN/GRILL DOOR CLOSED
- This will cause overheating.
Notes
You will notice that the grill elements are protected
by a wire mesh.
This stops you from touching live parts.
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects
into the grill mesh as this could damage or break
the element tubes OR if the grill is on cause an
electric shock.
The grill will not operate unless the top oven control
is in the Off position, 'O'.
To operate the grill proceed as follows:
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.
2. Position the rod shelf as recommended, in the chart
(next page), for the food being cooked.
3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is
positioned centrally under the element.
During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not
attempt to clean it while the grill is still on. Turn the
cooker off at the control unit and wait until it has
cooled down before cleaning.
4. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this
may cause overheating of fat in the grill pan.

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.
Operation
GB
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.
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.
Cooking meat/poultry
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.
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.
Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the
top oven as air circulation will be seriously
restricted.
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.
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
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.
on any shelf position, but the shelves should be
evenly spaced.
GB
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
Oven positions
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan
oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily
! When inserting the shelf make sure the
backstop is at the rear of the cavity (see
image)

Using The Main Oven
for other Functions
'S' SLOW setting
Points to consider when preparing food for
GB
"SLOW" cooking:
"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
appearance 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
thermometer 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
cooking. 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 ensuring
the oven door is fully closed.
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
refrigerator before re-heating.
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping
hot before serving.
4. Only re-heat food once.
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even
sized small pieces to cook properly.
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.

CLEANERS OR OVEN
CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF
ANY KIND, UNLESS
Detergent residues must always be completely
removed with a clean wet cloth, (even if the
instructions for use suggest otherwise), as they can
have an etching effect when reheated.
Then wipe dry.
SPECIFIED BELOW.
To maintain hob in good condition, we would
recommend regular use of the 'Easy Do Powder
Cleanser'.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners
on the appliance.
! 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.
Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or
paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove all residue with a clean damp cloth or paper
towel. Then use conditioner to protect the hob.
For more stubborn marks, mix a small amount of the
powder cleanser with 'Jif Lemon Juice' (from a
bottle) and carefully spread over the affected area.
Cover with a damp paper towel and leave for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Rub vigorously. Remove
excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel
before the conditioner dries. Polish with a clean cloth
or paper towel.
! The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery (even in your dishwasher).
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.
Easy Do products are available from many electrical
retailers and our Parts Department.
Homecare 'Hob Brite' is available from leading
Supermarkets.
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AT THE MAINS SWITCH
BEFORE CLEANING.
'STAY CLEAN'Oven liners
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the 'Stay
clean' panels.
Ceramic hotplates:
Clean your Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid
repeated burning of encrusted contamination.
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
Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of
soiling involved (see below).
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.
• minor soiling, where the contamination has not
burnt hard, can be wiped off with a clean wet cloth
• major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt
encrustation can be quickly and easily removed
with a razor-blade scraper
• hard water stains, grease spots and discoloration
having a metallic sheen can be removed with 'Easy
Do Cleaner Powder'

slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned,
while still warm. For removing stubborn stains see
next page.
GB
It should not normally be necessary to clean the
'Stay clean' panels in water. If the user feels it is
desirable to do so, wash them in warm soapy water,
followed by rinsing in clean water. Do not use
enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh
abrasives or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.
2.
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. Refer to the
instructions on previous page for cleaning the 'Stay
clean' panels.
Decorative trims (all models):
Doors
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 hot 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).
Wipe over the outer door glass panels 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. Ensure that glass doors are not
subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.
Glass Inner Door Panel
Open the door fully and unscrew the two screws
securing the glass panel, taking care not to allow the
glass to fall. The glass panel may now be washed at
the sink. Stubborn stains can be removed by using
a fine steel wool soap pad. Ensure the glass
panel is not subjected to any sharp
mechanical blows. Take particular care not to
damage the inner surface which is coated with a
heat reflective layer. After cleaning, rinse and dry
with a soft cloth. For slight soiling the inner glass
panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without
removing it from the door.
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.
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door
glass removed.
