INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the
back cover of this instruction book, from the rating
plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the
appliance and can be seen upon opening the oven
door.
To move the cooker, open the main oven door and
lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect
it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging
and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for
advice.
This is a type X appliance which means it is
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one
or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage
may occur.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side of the cooker
is required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position. It is recommended that proprietary trims are
fitted to protect the worktops of either side of the
appliance. These are available from most DIY stores.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to
prevent overheating and deterioration.
Two spacers have been incorporated into the back of
the appliance to ensure an air gap of 10mm is
maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of
deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the recommended
cross-section area.

Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROL
S
The cooling fan will always come on when the grill
and the top oven are switched on. If they are only
used for a short period of time the fan will switch off
when the controls are turned off. If the grill or the top
oven are used for a longer period of time the fan will
run on depending on the temperature, and may cycle
on and off until the cooker has cooled.
In the case of the main oven the cooling fan may not
switch on except when used for a longer period of
time. The cooling fan may run on, and cycle on and
off after the control knobs have been switched off,
until the cooker has cooled. Do not switch the cooker
off at its power point until the fan has cooled the
cooker down.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the front
of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
REVERSIBLE MAIN OVEN DOOR
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the
opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified
Service Engineer. See page 29 for your nearest
Service Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will be
made.
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the cooker:
1 grill pan
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short
period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
To do this, run the ovens at 220°C for approximately
45 minutes. The procedure should be repeated with
the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an unpleasant odour may be
emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window
for ventilation.
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 grill deflector
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of
this steam to escape between the wall and the rear
of the appliance. However, always stand back from
the appliance when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
1 cranked shelf for
grilling and top oven
cooking only
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
For your safety, wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
OVEN / GRILL INDICATOR NEONS
2 straight shelves
for main oven cooking
These lights indicate whether the ovens or grill are
switched on. In the case of the ovens, they also
indicate when the set temperature has been reached.
They will cycle on and off during use to show that the
temperature is being maintained. The grill neon may
cycle when the grill is switched on.

THE SEALED HOTPLATES
BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME
Turn the control knob to a medium/high setting and allow the hotplate to heat, uncovered by a saucepan for 3-5
minutes. This hardens the protective coating on the hotplates, and makes it more resistant to normal use. A
harmless smoke will be given off from the hotplates.
To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in
either direction to vary the heat setting.
The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest represents the coolest
setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the
quantity and type of food to be cooked.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
For speed and economy only good quality
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended.
Traditional round-bottomed Woks must not be used
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases
are available and do comply with the above
recommendations.
To check the flatness of the saucepan, place a ruler
across the pan base, hold at eye level and look for
light showing. There should be very little or no light
visible between the ruler and the pan base.
HINTS AND TIPS
Avoid the use of decorative covers as they
can cause condensation to form on the
hotplates which may lead to deterioration.
Follow any guidelines provided by the
saucepan manufacturer, particularly those
relating to recommended heat settings.
Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans as they can lead to sticking and
burning of food.
The size of the base of the saucepan should be the
same or up to 2.5cm/1 inch larger than the hotplate.
If the base is too small, energy will be wasted,
boilovers will also be more difficult to deal with as
spillage will fall directly onto the hotplate.
To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket
Never use an asbestos mat

and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the
unfortunate event of a fire, switch OFF at the
electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or
damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.

DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool
for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the
hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently
switched ON.
PRESERVING
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of
the hob trim.
1. Preparing the food
2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be
no more than one third full when all the
ingredients have been added. It is better to use
two pans rather than overfill one, or use half
quantities.
Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and
breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with
batter coated foods as they will stick.
2. Amount of oil
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full
of oil.
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally
good flavour.
It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the
temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small
cube of bread into the oil which should brown in
just under a minute if the oil is at the correct
temperature of 190°C/375°F.
5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not
completely dissolved before bringing jam to the
boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting
properties and colour of the jam.
4. Cooking the food
6. To test jam for setting:
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add
too much food at once or the temperature of the
oil will be reduced and may result in soggy,
greasy food.
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.
Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the
surface so will not brown on the upperside if not
turned. Once cooked, drain the food on
absorbent paper.
If a jam thermometer is not available, remove
pan from heat, place sample of jam on a cold
dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen
food storage compartment of a refrigerator).
When cold, it will crinkle and hold the mark of a
finger run through it, if it is ready.
5. Double frying chips
Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the
chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal
the outside. Remove the chips from the oil.
Increase the temperature of the oil to
190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the
chips.
7. The scum should be removed as soon as
possible after setting, but marmalade should be
allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel
rising.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

THE TOP OVEN
USES OF THE TOP OVEN
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is
designed for cooking on one level and for smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook
fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a
temperature setting of 90-100°C on the top oven control dial.
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN
Turn the top oven temperature control to the
required setting. Our diagram shows the oven set
Back of the Oven
to 150°C. Close the oven door.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is
in use. Only the outer part of the top oven
Straight Rods
element in conjunction with the base element will
operate when using the top oven.
Frame
HINTS AND TIPS
2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will then cycle ON and OFF
showing that the oven temperature is being
maintained.
All cooking should be carried out using an oven
shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
3. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm.
Never place directly on the top oven base as it
becomes very hot and damage may occur.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
The cranked shelf must only be used in the top oven
compartment.
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and
safety stop mechanism will be affected.
17
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a pre-heated oven.
There should always be at least 2.5cm (1")
between the top of the food and the element.
This gives best cooking results and allows room
for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings,
etc.
When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc.,
place the tins or baking trays centrally on the
shelf directly below the element.
DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven
base as it becomes very hot and damage may
occur.
The material and finish of the baking trays and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning of
the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
DO NOT use the grill pan as a baking tray as this
will increase base browning of the food.
Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations on page 21.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without
preheating, however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 - 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés, etc., best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures
recommended in the chart on page 21. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own
recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
THINGS TO NOTE
Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting.
1. The main oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the required temperature and
then go out. It will cycle ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
The main oven control display will illuminate.
2. The cooling fan for the controls may switch in
after a time. See page 9 for more information on
the operation of the cooling fan.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
It is recommended that when baking larger
quantities, the shelf positions should be evenly
spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight
increase in cooking time may be necessary.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and
safety stop mechanism will be affected.
Do not place dishes or baking trays directly on
the oven floor as it interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to base burning; use the
lower shelf position. However non critical dishes
can be placed on the oven base when more
space is required.
Back of Oven
Straight Rods
Frame
HINTS AND TIPS
Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelves are
numbered from the bottom upwards.
The use of excessively high temperatures can
cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to
reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the
recommendations given in the oven cooking
chart on page 21.
Do not use the cranked shelf from the grill in the
main oven.
When cooking more than one dish in the fan
oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves
rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf.
This will allow the heat to circulate freely for the
best cooking results.
When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be
cooked in the same time.

DEFROST FEATURE
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed
or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be
thawed in 1 - 2 hours.
USES OF DEFROST FEATURE
This fan oven function defrosts most foods faster
than more conventional methods. It is particularly
suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be
served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered
with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits,
scones, etc.
A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in
approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon
as possible during the thawing process.
Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be
thawed using the defrost function.
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly
in the fridge. However, this process can be
accelerated by using the defrost function.
ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE
THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
SELECTING DEFROST
HINTS AND TIPS
Turn the main oven temperature control to the
defrost setting.
Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
The main oven control display will illuminate.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon
may come ON. It will stay ON until the oven
reaches room temperature and then go OFF.
It may cycle ON and OFF periodically during
defrosting to maintain
temperature, inside the oven.
a
steady room
The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will
be faster than on cooler days.
2. Care must always be taken when handling foods
in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food
hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth
and cross contamination when defrosting,
preparing, cooking, cooling and freezing foods.
DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it
is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge.

CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH
AND ALLOW THE COOKER TO COOL
BEFORE CLEANING.
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-
stick saucepans with 'Jif' or 'Flash' cream cleaner.
AFTER CLEANING
CLEANING MATERIALS
To maintain the appearance of the hotplates
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or
commercial restorative agent e.g. '4 Hob' or use a
'Minky' Hotplate Cleaning Cloth.
Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker,
check that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF. Pour
a very small amount of oil onto kitchen paper, apply
the paper to the hotplate and wipe off any excess oil.
Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.
CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS
To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating
of '4 Hob' or use a Minky cloth following the
manufacturers instructions.
In order to maintain the appearance of your cooker's
sealed hotplates and trims you are advised to use
the recommended cleaning agents daily. If you do
not allow spillages to burn on they will be much
easier to clean off.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
COOKER
THINGS TO NOTE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or
scourers on the outside of the cooker as some of the
finishes are painted and damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors
and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid
detergent.
The red spot in the centre of the hotplates may be
removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This is
not a fault and does not effect the performance of the
hotplate.
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE
Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean
damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for
a few minutes to thoroughly dry.
FOR HEAVY SOILAGE
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream
cleaner e.g. 'Jif' or 'Flash' or a powder cleaner e.g.
'Ajax' on the hotplate and trims. Follow the circular
grooved pattern on the hotplate when cleaning.
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly. Dry as for
normal soilage.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
PANEL
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE
AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A
SAFETY HAZARD
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with
'Ajax' powder cleaner, 'Jif' or 'Flash' cream cleaner or
a 'Brillo' pad. You may have to rub hard for several
minutes.
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly with a damp
cloth. Switch to a low or medium setting for a few
minutes until the hotplate is thoroughly dry.
CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS
The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured
during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel
cleaner , e.g. 'Shiny Sinks' will help maintain a bright
appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as
'Bar Keepers Friend' may be used regularly.

CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN
GRID AND OVEN SHELVES
HINTS AND TIPS
Manual cleaning of the Stayclean linings IS NOT
recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays or
abrasives of any kind are used.
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean
linings may occur in time. This does not affect the
Stayclean properties in any way.
The grill pan and oven shelves may be cleaned using
a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid
should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking
first in soapy water will make cleaning easier.
A good time to allow the oven to run on is after
the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn
the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour
or so. It is important NOT to allow a build-up of
soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean from
working.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL / OVEN
COMPARTMENTS
The sides, top and back of the grill/top oven and
main oven are coated with a special Stayclean
coating.
The Stayclean coating should not be cleaned
manually.
Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an
increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
The vitreous enamel main oven base, back panel
and interior main oven door can be cleaned using
normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with
care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are
followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat
before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during
roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the
Stayclean linings and must not come into
contact with elements as this may cause
damage.
It is NOT necessary to add water to the meat tin
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from
the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking - even at normal temperatures, as well
as causing condensation.
For advice on how to keep the Stayclean linings in
good condition see 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'.
Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow
extra browning if required. Some large joints and
turkeys especially benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before
the outside is over-browned.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats
when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°C.
It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two
per week to ensure continued good performance
from the Stayclean finish.
Do use the trivet in the roasting tin. During roasting,
the fat from the joint will be contained beneath the
trivet and therefore prevent it from splashing onto the
Stayclean finish.

5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy
water or Flash Cream cleaner may be used. DO
NOT try to clean the aluminium foil which is
inside the door. The foil is there to help keep the
door cool, if it is damaged it will not work.
Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and
thoroughly dry before attempting to replace the
outer door.
