					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 front of the plinth.The cooker   
					must be connected by a competent person such as one who is a, NICEIC registered contractor to   
					a 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.   
					Levelling   
					Two rear wheels and two front feet are fitted which can be adjusted up or down to set the height   
					(900mm - 915mm) and level the cooker.   
					1.   
					The rear wheels can be raised or lowered from the BACK of the cooker by adjusting the   
					levelling screws ‘A’ in the plinth.   
					2.   
					The front feet can be simply screwed in or out to lower or raise the front of the cooker.   
					CAUTION: Some soft floor coverings may get damaged if the cooker is not moved carefully.   
					NOTE: Ensure oven shelves are level by using a spirit level on the rod shelves.   
					VIEWED FROM REAR   
					Siting the Cooker   
					The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 600mm 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 than 650mm.   
					Note: This appliance must NOT be fitted on a platform.   
					Moving the Cooker   
					Before moving your cooker, switch off at the cooker control unit, ensure that it is cool.   
					Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the   
					oven roof, avoiding any grill elements.

				Controls   
					Operating   
					controls when the   
					grill is in use   
					In common with all cookers having controls sited above the grill   
					compartment, care must be taken when setting the controls, due   
					to the hot air expelled from the grill compartment.   
					Note: After use, it is advisable to check that all cooker controls have been   
					switched Off.   
					Cooling fan   
					A gentle flow of air will be blown below the control panel when oven/grill   
					controls are in use.   
					Main and Top Oven The main and top oven lights will illuminate when the relevant thermostat   
					lights   
					is operated. The light will remain on during the cook period. (Note: Top   
					Oven Light is not on all Models).   
					Slow cooking   
					The main oven has an 90oC setting specially designed to reduce energy   
					usage. Full details of this can be found in the Slow Cooking section.   
					Element and Fan cut The oven is fitted with a safety device which disconnects the heating   
					off   
					element and oven fan when the door is opened. The heating element and   
					oven fan will not operate until the oven door is closed.   
					Hob On neon   
					(C161E/C261E)   
					Hob On neon will illuminate when any hob control is operated and will   
					remain illuminated until all hob controls are turned off.   
					Hob Hot Neon   
					(C361E, C461E,   
					C365E and R365E)   
					A short time (approx. 30 seconds) after the hob heating areas have been   
					turned on, the Hob Hot neon will illuminate.   
					This light will remain illuminated until all the hob controls have been   
					turned off and all hob heating areas have cooled.

				Oven Timer Operation   
					(C361E & C461E)   
					The oven timer offers you the following features:   
					1. Time of Day   
					2. Automatic Cooking   
					3. Minute Minder   
					Automatic Cooking The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the automatic timer.When the   
					timer control has been set for one oven it is possible to use the other oven   
					manually.   
					Hints on   
					Automatic   
					Cooking   
					1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook and require   
					approximately the same temperature.   
					2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about to   
					finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the   
					food has not cooled down and does not require reheating   
					before serving.   
					3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven,   
					ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry   
					should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.   
					4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if   
					there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat   
					and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.   
					5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,   
					for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically   
					if there is to be a delay period.   
					6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so   
					that the delay period is kept to a minimum.   
					7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain   
					foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to   
					a minimum.   
					8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the   
					delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before   
					serving.   
					9. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or   
					tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to   
					placing food in the oven.   
					10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent   
					boiling over.   
					11. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to   
					prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a   
					good seal.   
					12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.   
					Timer   
					1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.   
					Operation   
					2. Check that the electricity supply to the oven is turned On.   
					3. Check that the oven clock is at the right time of day.

				Sealed Hob General Information (C161E and C261E)   
					USE OF HOTPLATES   
					Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob   
					surface.   
					Turn the control to 6 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.   
					CONTROL SETTINGS GUIDE   
					This is provided only as a guide – settings also depend on the type of pan used and the   
					quality of food.   
					Frying potatoes.   
					Bringing water to the boil.   
					Deep fat frying.   
					Dissolve sugar for preserve   
					making   
					To melt butter chocolate etc.   
					To heat food gently.   
					To keep small amounts of water

					SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING   
					1.   
					2.   
					3.   
					4.   
					Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.   
					Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.   
					Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.   
					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.   
					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.   
					Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

					areas.   
					Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.   
					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 unattended (e.g. to answer the   
					telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.   
					In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:   
					1. Switch Off the electricity supply.   
					2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.   
					Burns and injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up the burning   
					pan and rushing outside with it.   
					Safety   
					requirements for   
					deep fat frying   
					1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate   
					heating area.   
					2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full or fat or oil.   
					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.   
					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.

				Choosing Your Utensils   
					Below are some guidelines to help you make the right choice of   
					utensils.   
					Choosing your   
					utensils   
					To obtain   
					a 
					satisfactory performance from   
					a 
					ceramic hob and to   
					avoid unnecessary damage, we recommend the use of good   
					quality utensils with smooth flat bases.   
					1. Purchasing a new pan will not necessarily mean it will have a   
					flat base, always check before buying. See diagram below.   
					Remember   
					Do Use   
					2. Using the correct pans and utensils will result in maximum   
					contact with the hob and maximum efficiency as with any type   
					of electric hob.   
					Do use good quality smooth flat based utensils.   
					Do use a utensil which has approximately the same base area as   
					the heating area zone being used.   
					Do use utensils which have more than sufficient capacity for the   
					amount of food being cooked to prevent boil over or   
					spillage.   
					Do use utensils with good fitting lids.   
					Do use a low dome pressure cooker for best results.   
					Good quality   
					flat base   
					same size as   
					element   
					Convex   
					base too   
					small   
					Concave   
					base   
					Too   
					small   
					Too   
					large   
					No pan   
					Element ON   
					WARNING: Extreme caution should be used when cleaning the   
					hot hob.   
					Important   
					1. Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean cloth or a   
					paper towel to avoid unnecessary damage to the hob.   
					Extreme care should be taken to avoid steam burns and hot   
					surfaces when cleaning spillage from the hob.   
					2. When cooking food which contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a   
					utensil which is large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar   
					spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore should be   
					cleaned off with care immediately. Taking care remove when still hot   
					with a razor-blade scraper. This will avoid any damage.   
					NEVER LET IT COOL BEFORE REMOVING.   
					3. Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before placing   
					on the ceramic hob.   
					29   
				Choosing Your Utensils   
					Do not use utensils with rough bases.   
					Do Not   
					Do not use lightweight utensils with thin, distorted or uneven bases.   
					Do not use lightweight enamelled steel utensils.   
					Do not use cast iron utensils.   
					Do not use utensils with recessed, scrolled (like a gramophone record) or   
					ridged bases.   
					Do not use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than lmm as this   
					will reduce the performance of the hob.   
					Do not use a utensil with a convex base.   
					Do not use glass ceramic utensils.   
					Do not use use lightweight saucepans with plain thin copper bases on   
					ceramic or halogen hotplates.   
					Note: All copper pans are excellent conductors of heat, and are hard   
					wearing and strong, but need quite a lot of care. They can be very heavy and   
					do not usually have completely flat bases. The interiors are usually lined with   
					a different material such as tin.   
					A stainless steel pan with a sandwich base of aluminium and stainless steel   
					is an excellent conductor of heat and is suitable for use on ceramic and halo-   
					gen hobs, providing they are used in accordance with the saucepans manu-   
					facturers’ recommendations.   
					Stainless steel pans with a sandwich base of aluminium and copper are   
					excellent conductors of heat. If using stainless steel saucepans with   
					aluminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic and halogen hobs,the use   
					of these pans must be in accordance with the saucepan manufacturers’   
					recommendations. Extra care should be taken to ensure the base of the pan   
					and the hob is cleaned, and the hob conditioned, after each and every   
					use, when using this type of saucepan.   
					If these recommendations are not followed, the result will be a build up of   
					small copper deposits on the surface of your hob which, if not cleaned after   
					each use, will result in permanent marking of your hob.   
					Always lift the pan from the hob, do not drag or slide across the hob surface   
					as damage may occur.   
					30   
				Grill Pan and Handle   
					Grill pan handle   
					The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate   
					cleaning and storage.   
					The handle can be either detachable from or fixed to the pan.   
					For a fixed handle remove the screw and washers from the grill pan   
					bracket, tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the bracket (A), slide it   
					towards the centre of the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the   
					bracket (C). Replace screw and washers and ensure that they are fully   
					tightened up. For a detachable handle remove screw and washers from   
					the grill pan and keep safe.   
					Please note that if a fixed handle is required, the grill pan cannot   
					be kept in the Fan Oven with the door closed but may be stored in   
					the Top Oven when the appliance is not in use.   
					Warning: Ensure when using grill pan handle in the detachable   
					manner it is centralised and secure.

				SolarPlus Grill (C461E)   
					CAUTION: ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN   
					GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.   
					Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. Creda   
					have developed a Solarplus high speed grill which 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   
					preheat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling   
					the Solarplus grill can be used directly from cold without any pre-heat.   
					However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by   
					preheating the grill for about 1 minute.   
					You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh.   
					This stops you from touching live parts, so under no circumstances   
					should pointed objects be inserted into the mesh. 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.   
					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 rod shelf is   
					in the top runner position.   
					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   
					indicate the heat setting, 4 is the hottest 1 the coolest.   
					IMPORTANT   
					GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE   
					GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED. This will cause overheating.   
					The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the Off   
					position.   
					Grilling Procedure   
					1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.   
					2. Ensure that the Easy Glide™ Shelf is located in the correct position (see   
					‘Guide to Grilling’).   
					3. Preheat the grill, if necessary, with the Easy Glide™ Shelf pulled out (see   
					Fig 1).   
					4. Locate the grill pan in the Easy Glide™ Shelf (see Fig 2) and push back   
					under the element.   
					5. The grill pan should be withdrawn always using the grill pan   
					handle to the stop position to turn or remove cooked food.   
					(There is no need to remove the grill pan from the Easy Glide™ Shelf).   
					6. NEVER line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause   
					overheating of fat in the grill pan.   
					NOTE: To stop fat splashing onto the grill element mesh, it is   
					important to use the anti-splash tray. Always clean the grill pan anti-   
					splash tray and food grid after each use.

				Top Oven Cookery Notes   
					(C261E, C361E, C461E, C365E and R365E)   
					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.   
					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.   
					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.   
					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.   
					The Easy Glide™ Shelf, in conjunction with the grill pan supplied can be   
					used for cooking in the oven(s), ie. meat, poultry etc. also for roasting   
					vegetables. Place the Easy Glide™ Shelf in the oven on the same runner   
					position as stated in the meat cooking charts.   
					Easy Glide™ Shelf   
					Important:   
					Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan when the pan is   
					being used for oven cooking.   
					Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the   
					oven, as the Easy Glide™ Shelf and the grill pan will be hot.   
					Never remove the Easy Glide™ Shelf from the oven with the grill pan and   
					food still in position.   
					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 tempera-   
					ture.The pilot light will automatically go on and off during cooking as the   
					thermostat maintains the correct temperature.   
					Cooking meat/   
					poultry   
					Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs), or poultry, up to 3.6kg (8 1lbs)   
					(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 1lbs)   
					(60cm cookers) should be roasted in the main oven.   
					Do not use the main oven meat pan or grill pan as a meat pan in the   
					top oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.   
					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.   
					38   
				Main Oven Cookery Notes   
					The oven is fitted with ‘Credaclean’ liners, two rod shelves and a meat pan.   
					Remove the meat pan if it is not being used.   
					The Easy Glide™ Shelf, in conjunction with the grill pan supplied can be   
					used for cooking in the oven(s), ie. meat, poultry etc. also for roasting   
					vegetables. Place the Easy Glide™ Shelf in the oven on the same runner   
					position as stated in the meat cooking charts.   
					Easy Glide™ Shelf   
					Important:   
					Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan when the pan is   
					being used for oven cooking.   
					Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the   
					oven, as the Easy Glide™ Shelf and the grill pan will be hot.   
					Never remove the Easy Glide™ Shelf from the oven with the grill pan and   
					food still in position.   
					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.   
					It should be noted that at the end of the cooking period their 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.   
					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.   
					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.   
					Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven is very even, most   
					foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should   
					be evenly spaced.   
					Oven positions   
					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 Creda Spares.   
					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 larg-   
					er 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.   
					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.   
					39   
				Main Oven Cookery Notes   
					When all three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home   
					Temperature   
					and time   
					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.   
					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).   
					40   
				41   
				Note: If soft margarine is used for cake making, temperatures recommended by the   
					manufacturers should be followed. Temperatures recommended in this chart refer to cakes   
					made with block margarines or butter only.   
					42   
				Using the Main Oven for other Functions   
					“SLOW” setting   
					90   
					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.   
					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.   
					Operation:   
					1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.   
					2. Select   
					(Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Main Oven Temperature   
					90   
					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.   
					Points to consider when preparing food for “SLOW” cooking:   
					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 170oC for 30 minutes   
					before wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a 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.   
					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 to the   
					top with foil to prevent loss of moisture.   
					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. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to   
					avoid overcooking.

				Care and Cleaning   
					TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE COOKER IS COLD   
					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   
					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.   
					4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.   
					ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AT THE MAINS SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.

				Care and Cleaning   
					Ceramic hotplates (C361E, C461E, C365E and R365E):   
					Clean your Creda Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid repeated burning of encrusted   
					contamination.   
					Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of soiling involved (see below).   
					G minor soiling, where the contamination has not burnt hard, can be wiped off with a clean   
					wet cloth   
					G major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt encrustation can be quickly and easily removed   
					with a razor-blade scraper   
					G hard water stains, grease spots and discoloration having a metallic sheen can be   
					removed with ‘Easy Do Cleaner Powder’   
					G 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.   
					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.   
					To maintain hob in good condition, we would recommend regular use of the ‘Easy Do Powder   
					Cleanser’.   
					Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 min-   
					utes. 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‘Cif 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.   
					Easy Do products are available from many electrical retailers, CredaCare Parts Department and   
					Creda Spares Distributors. Homecare ‘Hob Brite’ is available from leading Supermarkets.   
					Electric sealed hotplates (C161E and C261E):   
					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 Credacare Spares 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 sur-   
					face.   
					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.

				Care and Cleaning   
					‘CREDACLEAN’ Oven liners   
					Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‘Credaclean’ panels.   
					. 
					How “CREDACLEAN” works:   
					The surfaces of the ‘Credaclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous   
					enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220oC (425oF) 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.   
					Main Oven Liners   
					- 
					side and rear panels.   
					Top Oven Liners (C261E, C361E, C461E, C365E and R365E) - sides   
					It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Credaclean’ 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.   
					Decorative trims (all models) / Vitreous enamel hob (C161E and C261E):   
					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).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.   
					Control Panel:   
					Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.   
					Grill Door:   
					Wipe over the grill door decorative outer panel; with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, then after   
					wiping 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. Ensure that the glass panel is not   
					subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.   
					46   
				Care and Cleaning   
					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   
					(not applicable on C365E) and the floor of the compartment.   
					Note:Take care when cleaning the Easy Glide™ Shelf not to trap fingers between mating parts.   
					Main oven / Grill:   
					1. Glass Door – open the oven door fully. The glass panel may now be cleaned.   
					Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. Do not use scouring pads,   
					or abrasive powder, which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not   
					subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.   
					For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm. For removing stubborn   
					stains see page 48, cleaning .   
					2. Remove the rod shelves and meat pan.   
					Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, meat pan and the   
					floor of the oven. Refer to the instructions on page 46 for cleaning the ‘Credaclean’ panels.   
					Do not use aerosol cleaners on this oven as they could adversely affect the fan motor unit, and   
					cannot be wiped off the fan blade.   
					Replacement oven lamp:   
					CAUTION - DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING THE LAMP.   
					Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip   
					the light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and lift. Reach into the aperture and unscrew the lamp   
					anti-clockwise. Fit replacement lamp (15W 300°C rated SES), refit dome.   
					Wall-mounted splashpanel:   
					A wall-mounted splashpanel is available as an optional extra from the Spare Parts Department.   
					See back cover for details.   
					Care must be taken that rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning and furthermore that   
					the lettering is not blurred or removed.   
					For details of your nearest Service Centre please see the separate service leaflet. If you have any   
					queries regarding service or spares, our Spares and Service Division will be pleased to advise.   
					See back cover for details.

				Care and Cleaning   
					Take particular care not to damage the inner surface of the door inner glass that is coated   
					with a heat reflective layer. Do not use scouring pads, or abrasive powder, which will   
					scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not subjected to any sharp mechanical   
					blows.   
					Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool pad. For slight soiling the inner glass   
					panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door. After cleaning, rinse   
					and dry with a soft cloth.   
					CLEANING THE DOORS   
					SIDE OPENING DOORS   
					Cleaning the door glass is the same as the drop down doors, except take care to support the   
					weight of the inner glass when removing and refitting.   
					DROP DOWN DOORS   
					Remove the door inner glass as follows.   
					1.   
					2.   
					Open the door fully and unscrew the two screws securing the glass panel so that the   
					securing brackets can be turned. There is no need to remove the screws completely.   
					Turn the brackets so that the glass can be removed and cleaned at the sink (Fig. 1).   
					Fig. 1.   
					3.   
					The inside of the outer door glass can now be   
					cleaned while still fitted to the cooker.   
					Glass   
					NEVER OPERATE THE COOKER WITHOUT THE INNER DOOR GLASS IN   
					POSITION.   
					Refit the door inner glass as follows.   
					1.
