Control Knobs  
This control switches on the top and bottom heating  
elements in the top oven. The temperature in the  
oven can be set anywhere between 100 °C and 250  
°C. The top oven/grill pilot light will glow initially and  
remain on until the oven reaches the required  
temperature. It will then cycle off and on, as the  
oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
The off position is identified by an “0”.  
The knobs for the hotplates can be rotated in either  
direction to provide variable heat control, the Main  
Oven knob can only be rotated clockwise from the  
Off position.  
!: Always ens ure that all controls are in the OFF  
pos ition, when the appliance is not in us e.  
The hob hot warning lights will operate soon after  
each of the heating areas have been switched on.  
Each warning light will remain illuminated until each  
heating area has cooled down.  
Main oven control  
This control switches on the main oven. To select  
Fan Cooking - Turn the control clockwise and select  
any temperature between 80 °C and 250 °C. As the  
control is turned the fan will start, the oven interior  
light and the main oven pilot light will come on and  
the heating element around the fan will start heating.  
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on  
throughout cooking. The main oven thermostat light  
will come on until the oven reaches the required  
temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the oven  
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
Turn the control to 12 for fast cooking. To cook more  
slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting  
according to the size of the saucepan and the  
amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are  
specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking  
and simmering.  
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan  
as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of  
the hotplate.  
Operating the controls when the grill is in us e  
Slow cooking S’  
In common with all cookers having controls sited  
above the grill compartment, care must be taken  
when setting the controls, due to hot air being  
emitted from the grill compartment.  
The main oven has a ‘S’ setting specially designed  
to reduce energy usage. Full details of this can be  
found in the Slow cooking section of this book.

The Working of the Heating Zones  
Heating only occurs within the marked circular  
cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down  
quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive  
foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal  
limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the  
ceramic glass from overheating. After several  
minutes at full power without a pan on the heating  
zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating  
elements off and on automatically to avoid any  
damage to the ceramic glass.  
Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as  
these will extend cooking times, waste electricity  
and cause damaging, local hotspots on the  
glass surface.  
Pans with ridged or recessed bases.  
Pans with damaged or rough bases which could  
scratch the glass surface.  
Glass or glass ceramic utensils.  
Do Not  
The active hotplate pilot light  
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good  
condition, follow thes e s imple  
g u id e lin e s :  
A short time (approx. 30 seconds) after the hob  
heating areas have been turned on, the Hob Hot  
neon will illuminate.  
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a  
cooking utensil, as this will result in damage  
to the surface of the hob.  
This light will remain illuminated until all the hob  
controls have been turned off and all hob heating  
areas have cooled.  
Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as  
damage may occur to the smooth surface of  
the hob.  
The HOT HOB indicator light:  
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 surround.  
This indicates that the temperature of the  
corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C,  
even when the heating element has been switched

pan.  
Setting the Grill  
GB  
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.  
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME  
HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN  
SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.  
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN  
WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED.

Top Oven -  
Conventional Cooking  
The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is  
provided by the grill element and the element under  
the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of  
cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc. but can also  
be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).  
GB  
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf  
positioning.  
The top oven can be used either independently to  
cook small quantities of food or in conjunction with  
the main oven to provide additional cooking space.  
The s helf s hould be pos itioned on the firs t or  
s econd runner from the bottom.  
To us e the oven proceed as follows :  
l
l
l
Set the top oven control to the required  
temperature, the top oven light will come on and  
wait for the thermostat light to go off, indicating  
that the oven has reached the right temperature.  
The food to be cooked should be placed in the  
centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm  
(1in) between it and the grill element. This  
should avoid burning and ensure even cooking.  
Do not place food or dishes on the floor of  
the oven.  
Plate warming in the top oven  
Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the top oven  
will be heated when the main oven is in use. When  
the main oven is not in use, for instance when a meal  
is being cooked on the hob, place the plates and  
serving dishes on the shelf using the bottom runner  
and turn the top oven control to approximately 100  
°C. A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is  
required to heat the plates and dishes.  
NEVER operate the grill control when using the top  
oven for cooking or warming plates and dishes.  
WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items china  
or items which could be affected by heat into  
the oven.

Main Oven  
Cookery Notes  
GB  
This control switches on the main oven. To select  
Fan Cooking - Turn the control clockwise and select  
any temperature between 100°C and Max. As the  
control is turned the fan will start.The main oven light  
will immediately come on.  
The thermostat light indicates that the main oven is  
heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside the  
oven has reached the setting made with the  
thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on  
and off as the oven maintains the temperature at a  
constant level.  
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on  
throughout cooking. The main oven thermostat light  
will come on until the oven reaches therequired  
temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the oven  
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided  
by an element situated at the back of the oven,  
around the fan.  
Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of  
meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating  
the need for pre-heating the oven. It is also ideal for  
batch cooking where food is cooked on more than  
one level, because the forced circulation of hot air  
gives an even temperature from the top to the bottom  
of the oven.  
To us e the oven proceed as follows :  
The shelves should be evenly spaced. To avoid  
unnecessary cleaning, shelves which are not in  
use should be removed from the oven.  
Set the main oven control to the required  
temperature. Pre-heating is not normally  
necessary, but some foods such as bread,  
scones and Yorkshire pudding do benefit from  
being placed in a hot oven (see cooking charts).  
Place the food to be cooked in the centre of each  
shelf to allow for even air circulation around the  
food.

'S' SLOW s etting  
Points to cons ider 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.  
WARNING! The oven is  
provided with a stop sys-  
tem to extract the racks  
and prevent them from  
coming out of the oven.(1)  
As shown in the drawing,  
to extract them comple-  
tely, simply lift the racks,  
holding them on the front  
part, and pull (2).

and the floor of the compartment. Wipe over the  
control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a  
dry cloth.  
'STAY CLEAN' Oven liners  
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the 'Stay

How "STAY CLEAN" works :  
Control Panel  
The surfaces of the 'Stay clean' oven liners are  
treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous  
enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At  
Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or  
aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for  
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.  
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.  
Decorative Trims  
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly  
to prevent any build up of soiling. 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.  
Ceramic hob  
To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that  
the hob and cooking utensils are clean and dry  
before use. Regular use of cleaner conditioner is  
recommended for proper care and protection of the  
hob surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob  
for the first time. It contains a mild cleaning agent,  
so that subsequent applications may clean off soil  
and apply a protective film at the same time. For  
stubborn stains or heavy soiling use any of the  
following materials, and finish off with conditioner.  
Ovens  
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. 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.

Dis pos al of old electrical appliances  
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),  
requires that old household electrical appliances  
must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted  
municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be  
collected separately in order to optimise the  
recovery and recycling of the materials they contain  
and reduce the impact on human health and the  
environment.  
The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the  
product reminds you of your obligation, that when  
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately  
collected.  
Consumers should contact their local authority or  
retailer for information concerning the correct  
disposal of their old appliance.  
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.

Respecting and conserving the  
environment  
GB  
Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven  
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little  
as possible because heat is lost every time it is  
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,  
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the  
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat  
the oven continues to generate.  
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door  
energy losses  
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay  
cooking” option will make it easier to save money by  
moving operation to cheaper time periods.  
• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by  
switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the  
end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates  
5 minutes before the end of cooking time.  
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.  
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and  
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can  
be difficult to remove.  
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting  
lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with  
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption  
• Use purely flat pots and pans  
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,  
it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as  
fast and saves a third of the energy.
