Installation  
WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
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 eg. (NICEIC registered contractor) to suitable  
double-pole control unit with a minimum rating of 32A  
and a minimum contact clearance of 3mm, which should  
be fitted adjacent to the cooker, in accordance with IEE  
regulations.  
The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a  
conductor size of 6mm2 minimum.  
The control unit should be easily accessible in the event of  
an emergency, but must be within 2 metres of and not  
directly above an appliance.  
This appliance conforms to EN 55014 regarding  
suppression of radio and television interference.  
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.  
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  
free standing.  
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 than 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  
cooker into position.

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 redspot hotplates  
heat up more rapidly to give faster boiling.  
Control Settings

appropriate heating area.  
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.  
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking  
period.  
4. Never 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.  
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 to 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.

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 10oC.  
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 SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING. BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN,  
ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.  
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING  
PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND UNLESS  
SPECIFIED BELOW.  
CLEANING MATERIALS TO AVOID  
1. Plastic or nylon pads / scourers, these may scratch the surface.  
2. Household abrasive powders.  
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.  
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal  
frame.  
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.  
ELECTRIC SEALED HOTPLATES  
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a  
soap filled Brillo pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that  
any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean  
cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed. Finally, turn on  
hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear with a little cooking oil to  
provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent Homecare Four Hob,  
available from our Parts department or leading supermarkets. The bezels will  
mellow with use to a burnished gold colour, a soap filled Brillo pad will help to  
keep them bright, care should be taken not to damage the vitreous enamel  
hob surface.  
GRILL  
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these  
items immediately after use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used  
again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine steel wool soap pad to  
remove stubborn stains from the grill runners the grill deflector plate and the  
floor of the compartment.  
CONTROL PANEL  
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth. Do  
not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive  
powder for cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.  
OVEN DOORS  
Wipe over the door outer panel with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water,  
then afterwiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean  
cloth.  
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch the  
surface.  
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the Door Seal. Do not lift the  
Door Seal from the Oven Front Frame, if necessary remove the seal by carefully  
unhooking the corner clips.

Care and Cleaning  
How Stay Clean  
Works  
The surface 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 operation 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, to prevent heavy soilng,  
to run the oven control at maximum setting for a couple of  
hours. This may be necessary once a month or once every  
two or three months depending on the type and amount of  
oven cooking.  
Oven Liners – Sides  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Stay clean’  
panels in water. If desirable remove the rod shelves and the  
side panels and wash them in warm soapy water, followed by  
rinsing in clean water.  
Cleaning Materials  
to avoid  
1. Plastic or nylon pads, scourers, these may scratch  
the surface.  
2. Household abrasive powders.  
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.  
4. Caustic cleaners, these will etch the surface and attack  
the metal frame.  
5. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.  
Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative  
covers over the hot hotplates as these can hold condensation  
and cause corrosion. Accidental operation with a cover in  
place can cause intense heat. Never place saucepan lids on  
the hotplates, as this may cause corrosion.  
Note: Care must be taken to ensure that the rating plate label  
edges are not lifted during cleaning and that the lettering is  
not blurred or removed.

Check  
Ensure that the grill pan is positioned correctly.  
Ensure the grill is not set to too high a temperature.  
Fat splattering  
Oven Baking  
Uneven rising of cakes  
Ensure that the oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the  
rod shelf and adjusting, using suitable packing,  
e.g. wood, under the feet of the appliance. This should be  
checked both left to right and front to back.  
Sinking of cakes  
The following may cause cakes to sink:  
1. Cooking at too high a temperature.  
2. Using normal creaming method with soft margarine.  
Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in the oven  
temperature charts, however, it may be necessary to increase or  
decrease temperatures by 10˚C to suit personal taste. Do not use  
utensils greater than 75mm (3") in height for roasting
