WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
Mains Connection  
Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your  
supply voltage, this is stated on the rating plate, which is situated on the rear panel.  
The cooker must be connected by a competent person such as one who is NICEIC  
registered contractor to suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating of 45A  
and a minimum contact  
clearance of 3mm, which should be fitted adjacent to the cooker, in accordance with IEE  
regulations. The control unit must be within 2 metres of but not directly above the  
appliance and should be easily accessible in the event of an emergency.  
The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a conductor size of 6mm2,  
minimum.  
Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover. The mains  
cable must pass through the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block. Sufficient cable  
should be used to allow the cooker to be pulled out for servicing.  
Ensure that the mains cable is routed away from any brackets affixed to the rear panel  
and is not trapped to the rear wall when pushing the cooker into position between  
cabinets.  
Note: If the cooker is to be placed on a base, precautions must be taken to prevent it  
from slipping off the base.  
Siting the Cooker  
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 500mm apart. The space  
either side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing. It can  
be used with cabinets one side or both as well as in an angled corner setting. It can also  
be used freestanding.  
This cooker is a Type X appliance, as such adjacent side walls which project above hob  
level, must not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm and should be protected by heat  
resistant material. Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be nearer 650mm.  
The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means of adjustable feet in the plinth  
(900mm - 915mm). Adjust the feet by tilting the cooker from the side. Then install the

Hotplates General Information Notes  
Note: Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the  
hob surface.  
Use of Hotplates  
The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power levels. Each control can be used to  
select one of six temperature settings from a minimum at position 1 to a maximum at  
position 6. The red spot hotplate heats up more rapidly to give faster boiling.

AWAY.  
Setting the Grill  
THE GRILL WILL NOT OPERATE WITH THE GRILL DOOR  
CLOSED  
Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil.  
The grill control is designed to provide variable heat  
control of the grill element. Open the grill door, preheat  
the grill at High setting for approximately 5 minutes. When  
toasting, place the grill pan on the grill runner. Position  
the pan centrally below the grill element. Leave the control  
at High setting for toast, sealing and fast cooking of  
foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the  
control to a lower setting after the initial sealing of both  
sides at High setting. The thicker the food the lower the  
control should be set.

Oven  
With the oven door closed, heating of the oven is achieved by turning  
the control clockwise to the required ‘oven temperature’ scale on  
the control panel, as recommended in the temperature charts. The  
pilot light will immediately come on and go off during cooking as the  
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
Oven Control  
Note: 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 perfectly normal characteristics of an oven  
with a good door seal.  
Note: Remember to switch off the oven control after  
cooking is finished.  
Oven Cookery Notes  
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.  
To prepare meat  
for roasting in  
your electric oven  
Wipe the joint, dry well with a clean cloth, kitchen tissue, etc., and  
weigh it. Meat which has been stored in a refrigerator, should be  
allowed to come to room temperature for approximately 30 minutes  
before cooking.  
Always completely thaw frozen meat before cooking. Beef, lamb  
and mutton may be lightly floured, but pork should have the rind  
scored, brushed over lightly with olive oil, and sprinkled with salt –  
for crisp crackling.  
Place the joint in a suitably sized meat pan (a small joint in a large  
meat pan causes unnecessary oven splashing). Small joints weighing  
less than 1.5kg (3lbs) may be pot roasted. Additional fat should not  
be used, except for veal, very lean meat, poultry, which can either  
be ‘larded’ with fat bacon, or brushed over very sparingly with  
melted fat/cooking oil. When potatoes are roasted round the joint,  
they only require to be coated in melted fat/cooking oil. It is not  
necessary to baste, when roasting in an electric oven, and  
liquid/stock should not be added to the meat pan.

Oven Cookery Notes  
Temperature and  
Time  
The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast quickly at too  
high a temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried  
out at low temperatures. When a lower temperature is used, joint  
loses less weight, is more tender (too high a temperature causes  
meat to be tough and dry), and the splashing of fat onto oven interior  
is reduced. When a complete meal is being cooked in the oven, cooking  
time may need to be increased, and temperature may need to be  
raised for approximately the last 30 minutes of the cooking period  
(for instance when cooking Yorkshire pudding to serve with roast  
beef).  
The times and temperature suggested should be used as a guide but  
may vary according to:–  
1. Whether you prefer meat rare, medium or well done.  
2. The size and shape of your joint.  
a) A short thick joint requires a longer cooking period than a long  
thin joint.  
b) A small joint under 1.5kg (3lbs) takes longer per 450g (1lb) than  
a large one, whereas a large joint over 3kg (6lbs) will cook in  
the time given for ‘minutes’ per 450g (1lb) without the ‘minutes  
over added.  
c) Boned/rolled and stuffed joints take longer to cook through  
than those with a bone. (The weight of stuffing should be  
added to the oven ready weight of meat/poultry to calculate  
roasting times.)  
Never use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15”x12”) and baking  
trays no larger than 330x255mm (13”x10”), these should be positioned  
centrally on the oven shelf. 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.

Care and Cleaning  
Turn OFF the main control unit and allow the cooker to cool  
before cleaning.  
Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF  
position.  
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‘Stay clean’  
removable side oven panels.  
‘STAY CLEAN’ OVEN LINERS  
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 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 a higher temperature setting of 230°C  
(450°F) for a couple of hours. This may be necessary once a month  
or every two or three months depending on the type and amount  
of oven cooking.  
Oven sides – It should not normally be necessary to clean the  
‘Stay clean’ panels in water. If the user feels it is desirable to do  
so, remove the rod shelves and side panels and wash them in  
warm, soapy water, followed by rinsing in clear water. Do not use  
enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven  
chemical cleaners of any kind.  
Grill – Remove the grill pan and grid. It is best to wash these  
items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on  
when used again.  
Hob  
Wipe the hob with a damp cloth wrung out in warm soapy  
water  
Control Panel  
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a  
dry cloth. Do not use oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or  
abrasive powder for cleaning the plastic knobs or plastic end  
caps as damage will occur.  
Oven – Interior  
Refer to the instructions above for cleaning the ‘Stay clean’  
panels.  
Remove the rod shelves for washing at the sink. Use a fine steel  
wool soap pad for removing stubborn stains from the rod shelves  
and floor of the oven. Take care during cleaning not to damage,  
bend or dislodge from the supporting clips the thermostat phial  
which is across the back of the oven just below the roof.
