INTRODUCTION  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED  
RATING PLATE  
To move the appliance, open the main oven door,  
and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the  
compartment.  
This is situated on the lower front frame of the  
appliance and can be seen upon opening the cavity  
door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found  
on the back or top of some models (where  
applicable).  
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated  
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is  
given on the rating plate.  
Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance  
as this may invalidate the guarantee.  
This is a type Y 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.  
INSTALLATION  
If your appliance has been damaged in transit,  
contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt  
to install it.  
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.  
Your appliance 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.  
A nominal air gap of 2mm at either side of the  
appliance is required to enable the appliance to be  
moved into position.  
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate  
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering  
should not obscure this gap.  
Once the packaging has been removed the appliance  
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack  
barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance as  
damage may occur.  
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried  
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.  
Air gap  
The electrical connection should be made using a  
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at  
least 3mm contact separation in all poles. The cable  
must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-  
sectional area to prevent overheating and  
deterioration.  
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a  
minimum of 685mm above the hob.  
The recommended cross-section area is six square  
millimetres (6.00mm2).  
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot  
areas marked by X in the diagram below.  
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level  
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the  
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.

REVERSIBLE MAIN OVEN DOOR  
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE  
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the  
opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified  
Service Engineer. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will  
be made.  
The following items of grill/oven furniture have been  
supplied with the appliance. If you require  
replacements of any of the items listed below please  
contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the  
relevant part number.  
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR  
APPLIANCE  
1 grill pan  
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –  
15 minutes at 220oC to burn off any residue from  
their surfaces.  
(311409401)  
The procedure should be repeated with the grill for  
approximately 5 – 10 minutes.  
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is  
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.  
1 grill pan handle  
(311468100)  
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM  
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a  
boiling kettle. The oven is 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.  
Note:  
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan,  
this can be ordered from your local Service Force  
Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.  
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 grill pan grid  
(311419801)  
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.  
1 straight shelf  
for grilling and top  
oven cooking  
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS  
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill  
or top oven are switched on and after a time when  
the main fan oven is in use. The operation of the  
cooling fan is temperature dependent in the case of  
the main oven and the cooling fan may not switch in  
at all at low temperature settings or where the main  
oven has only been used for a short time.  
The cooling fan may run on, after the control knobs  
have been switched off, until the appliance has  
cooled.  
2 straight shelves  
for main oven cooking  
Do not switch the appliance off at its power point  
until the fan has cooled the appliance down.  
Scuffing of the Stayclean panel/s by the oven  
furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks  
will disappear after the oven elements have been  
burnt off for the first time.

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.  
HINTS AND TIPS  
S To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in  
either direction to vary the heat setting.  
S Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the  
hob to help reduce scratches and maintain the

setting and the lowest number represents the  
coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to  
the quantity and type of food to be cooked.  
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS  
For speed and economy only good quality saucepans  
with flat bases and close fitting lids are  
recommended.  
To check the flatness of the saucepan, place a ruler  
S Avoid the use of decorative covers as they can  
cause condensation to form on the hotplates  
which may lead to deterioration.  
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.  
S Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan  
manufacturer, particularly those relating to  
recommended heat settings.  
S 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.  
Pressure cookers, preserving pans etc., should  
comply with the recommendations given above.  
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.  
S To prolong the life of the hotplates:  
S
S
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.  
Never use an asbestos mat.  
S
Never leave the hotplates ON when not  
covered with a saucepan.

SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:  
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan  
one third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid  
and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the  
unfortunate event of a fire, switch the appliance OFF  
at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid  
or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.

PRESERVING  
1. Preparing the food.  
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of  
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.  
the hob trim.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however  
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally  
good flavour.  
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.  
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.  
6. To test jam for setting:  
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 at setting point.  
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 point has been reached.  
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 DUAL GRILL  
USES OF THE GRILL  
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.  
CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.  
The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes, the  
centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.  
SELECTING THE GRILL  
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump  
on the grill pan.  
S Select the grill function for full grill.  
S Select the grill function for centre section only.  
S Turn the temperature control knob to the right as  
far as it will go. This is the hottest setting.  
S To use the grill at lower settings, turn the  
temperature control knob so that 110°C or 150°C  
on the knob lines up with the off dot on the panel.  
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not  
necessary to remove the grill pan handle during  
grilling.  
THINGS TO NOTE  
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT FULLY OPEN  
DURING GRILLING.  
S Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident  
as the grill cleans itself.  
S The top oven cannot be operated when the grill  
is in use.  
S The inner grill element may appear to glow  
slightly brighter than the outer element. This is  
quite normal.  
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right  
and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill  
pan.  
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE  
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.  
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the  
cut out in the pan so that the metal hooks over the  
top of the grill pan.  
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is  
positioned centrally beneath the grill.

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 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 80C° -100°C on the top oven control dial.  
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN

back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt  
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.  
S The cooling fan will operate immediately with the  
top oven. For more details on cooling fan  
operation see page 9.  
THINGS TO NOTE  
1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is  
in use. If the grill and top oven controls are  
selected at the same time, only the top oven will  
operate.  
2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the  
oven has reached the desired temperature and  
then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically  
during cooking showing that the oven  
temperature is being maintained.  
3. The cooling fan will operate immediately with the  
top oven. For more details about the cooling fan  
see page 9.  
4. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm.  
Never place dishes directly on the top oven base  
as becomes very hot and damage may occur.

HINTS AND TIPS  
S DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven  
base as it becomes very hot and damage may  
occur.  
S Most cooking should be carried out using an  
oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.  
S 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.  
S Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be  
cooked in the main oven. However, they may be  
cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the  
top oven provided there is sufficient room for air  
circulation around the food.  
S Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on  
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base  
and to help reduce cleaning.  
S DO NOT use the grill pan as a baking tray as this  
will increase base browning of the food.  
S Because of the smaller cooking space, lower  
temperatures and shorter cooking times are  
sometimes required. Be guided by the  
recommendations on pages 19 and 20.  
S For economy leave the door open for the shortest  
possible time, particularly when placing food into  
a pre-heated oven.  
S 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.  
S When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc.,  
place the tins or baking trays centrally on the  
shelf directly below the element.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN  
USES OF THE FAN OVEN  
The oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the  
oven, the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of  
fanned oven cooking are:  
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. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the  
oven first.  
COOKING TEMPERATURES  
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures  
recommended in the chart on page 19. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C – 25°C for your own  
recipes, using a conventional oven.  
BATCH BAKING  
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.  
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN  
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES  
S Turn the fan oven temperature control to the  
required setting.  
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.  
THINGS TO NOTE  
S The main oven indicator neon will glow until the  
oven has reached the desired temperature and  
then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically  
during cooking showing that the temperature is  
being maintained.  
S 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.

HINTS AND TIPS  
S Arrange the shelves in the required positions  
before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions  
are numbered from the bottom upwards.  
S 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.  
S When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria  
sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be  
cooked in the same time.  
S 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.  
S 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, see pages 19 and 20.  
S Do not place 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.

DEFROST FEATURE  
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed  
or minced 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  
S Turn the main oven temperature control to the  
defrost setting.  
S Place the frozen food in a single layer where  
possible and turn it over half way through the  
defrosting process.  
S 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.  
S It may turn ON and OFF periodically during  
defrosting to maintain  
temperature, inside the oven.  
a
steady room  
THINGS TO NOTE  
S The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by  
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will  
be faster than on cooler days.  
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.  
S DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it  
is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store  
cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled.

CARE AND CLEANING  
CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES  
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS  
BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE,  
ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO  
COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE  
SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY  
SUPPLY.  
In order to maintain the appearance of your  
appliance'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 MATERIALS  
Before using any cleaning materials on your  
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their  
use is recommended by the manufacturer.  
THINGS TO NOTE  
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 affect the performance of the  
hotplates.  
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as  
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives  
should also be avoided.  
CLEANING THE BRASS PLATED HANDLES  
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE  
It is strongly recommended that only soapy water is  
used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER  
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE BRASS  
PLATED FINISH.  
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.  
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE  
APPLIANCE  
FOR HEAVY SOILAGE  
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream  
cleaner e.g. ‘Cif’ 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.  
soilage.  
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or  
scourers on the outside of the appliance 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.  
Dry as for normal  
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low  
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with  
‘Ajax’ powder cleaner, ‘Cif’ or 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.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF  
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE  
PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE  
AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.  
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 VITREOUS ENAMEL  
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-  
stick saucepans with ‘Cif’ or cream cleaner.

AFTER CLEANING  
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES  
To maintain the appearance of the hotplates  
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or  
commercial restorative agent.  
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.  
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.  
HINTS AND TIPS  
S Manual cleaning of Stayclean Surfaces IS NOT  
recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays  
or abrasives of any kind are used.  
To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating of ‘4  
Hob’ or use a ‘Minky’ Hotplate Cleaning Cloth  
following the manufacturers instructions.  
S Slight discolouration and polishing of the  
Stayclean Surfaces may occur in time. This does  
not affect the Stayclean properties in any way.  
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN  
FURNITURE  
S 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.  
All removable parts except the grill pan handle can  
be washed in the dishwasher.  
The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves may be  
cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad.  
Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning  
easier.  
S Follow the recommendations below to keep oven  
soilage to a minimum.  
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND  
GRILL COMPARTMENTS  
S 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 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.  
S 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.  
The vitreous enamel fan oven base and grill  
compartment base, 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.  
S It is not necessary to add water to a 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.  
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean  
surfaces and must not come into contact with  
elements as this may cause damage.  
S 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.
