•

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.

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).

Pressure cookers or other large pans should be

used on the front cooking areas.

4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade

immediately.

Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned

safely.

Always take extra care when cooking foods with a

high sugar content eg. jam, as spillage will

Setting the Grill

Grill Pan Handle

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

oven control is in the OFF position.

Food which requires browning only should be placed

under the hot grill, directly on the shelf in the first or

second runner from the bottom of the oven,

according to the depth of the dish.

Open the Grill door to the grilling position. i.e. fully.

With the grill door in the grilling position, heating the

grill is achieved by turning the control clockwise to

the desired 'grill setting' on the control panel.

Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil.

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.

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

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.

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

"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.

BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT

ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.

• always condition hob after cleaning by using 'Easy

Do Conditioner' or 'Hob Brite'. Apply a small amount

of conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper

towel. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean

damp cloth or paper towel. Polish with a clean cloth

or paper towel before the conditioner dries.

NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL

WASHING POWDER,HARSH

ABRASIVES, SCOURING

PADS, AEROSOL

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'

while still warm. For removing stubborn stains see

next page.

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.

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.
