INTRODUCTION  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED  
To move the appliance, open the main oven door,  
and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the  
oven compartment.  
RATING PLATE  
This is situated on the front frame of the appliance  
and can be seen upon opening the 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.  
INSTALLATION  
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.  
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 the sides of the  
appliance is required to enable the appliance to be  
Once the packaging has been removed the appliance  
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.  
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.  
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate  
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering  
should not obscure this 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.  
Air gap  
The recommended cross-section area is six square  
millimetres (6.00mm2).  
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot  
areas marked by an ‘X’ in the diagram below.  
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a  
minimum of 685mm above the hob.  
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level  
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the  
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR  
APPLIANCE  
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE  
The following items of grill/oven furniture have been  
supplied with the appliance:  
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –  
15 minutes at 220oC to burn off any residue from  
their surfaces. 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  
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. However, always stand back  
from the appliance when opening the oven door to  
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.  
1 grill pan handle  
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.  
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 grill pan grid  
OVEN INDICATOR NEONS  
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched  
on.  
The neons also indicate when the set temperature  
has been reached. They will turn on and off during  
use to show that the temperature is being  
maintained.  
1 straight shelf  
for grilling and  
top oven cooking only  
If the neons do not operate as the instructions  
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.  
Return all controls to zero and re-set following the  
instructions for the required setting.  
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS  
2 straight shelves  
for main oven cooking  
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 turn  
on and off until the appliance 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 turn on and  
off after the control knobs have been switched off,  
until the appliance has cooled. Do not switch the  
appliance off at its power point until the fan has  
cooled the appliance down.

THE CERAMIC HOB  
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A  
FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE  
APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR  
LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE.

cooking times.  
Excessive switching may however be caused by the  
use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which  
is smaller than the heated area. If excessive  
switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.  
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS  
HINTS AND TIPS  
For speed and economy only good quality saucepans  
with flat bases and close fitting lids are  
recommended. The saucepan base should be  
approximately the same size as the cooking area, a  
base diameter of up to 225mm (9”) may be used on a  
180mm (7”) heated area.  
S Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the  
heated areas. This will reduce the risk of  
scratches and metal marks from saucepans with  
aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily  
cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn  
on.  
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to  
remove edges and take off any deposits left from  
manufacture.  
S Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan  
manufacturer, particularly those relating to  
recommended heat settings.  
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should  
comply with the recommendations given above.  
S Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted  
saucepans as they can lead to sticking and  
burning of food.  
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.  
NOTE:  
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch  
ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being  
used. This is due to a safety device which prevents  
the glass from overheating.

5. Double frying chips.  
S To prolong the life of the hotplates:-  
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.  
S
DO NOT place foil and plastic vessels on the  
hot surface of the ceramic hob and DO NOT  
use the surface for storage purposes.  
S
S
S
Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.  
Never use an asbestos mat.  
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first  
frying before finishing off with the second frying.  
Never leave the hotplates ON when not  
covered with a saucepan.  
S Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean  
and dry before the start of cooking to reduce  
cleaning.

DEEP FAT FRYING  
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:  
PRESERVING  
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.  
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of  
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.  
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.  
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before  
using.  
1. Preparing the food.  
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however  
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally  
good flavour.  
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.  
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.  
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full  
of oil.  
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.  
6. To test jam for setting:  
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to  
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.  
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.  
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.  
Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the  
surface so will not brown on the upperside if not

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 oven 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 90°C – 100°C on the top oven control dial.  
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN  
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF  
S To operate the top oven turn the temperature  
control to the required setting. Our diagram

and safety stop mechanism will be affected.  
shows the oven set 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  
element in conjunction with the base element will  
operate when using the top oven.  
2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the  
oven has reached the desired temperature and  
then go out. It will then turn ON and OFF  
showing that the oven temperature is being  
maintained.  
3. The cooling fan will operate. 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 it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

HINTS AND TIPS  
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 All cooking should be carried out using an oven  
shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.  
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 page 22.  
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 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.  
S DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven  
base as it becomes very hot and damage may  
occur.

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. 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 22. 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 FAN 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  
1. The fan oven indicator neon will glow until the  
oven has reached the required temperature and  
then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically  
during cooking showing that the temperature is  
being maintained.  
2. The cooling fan for the controls may switch in  
after a time. See page 9 for more information on  
the operation of the cooking fan.

HINTS AND TIPS  
S Arrange the shelves in the required positions  
before switching the oven ON. Shelves 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 DO NOT place baking trays directly on the oven  
base as it interferes with the oven air circulation  
and can lead to base burning; use the lower shelf  
position.  
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 on page 22.

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  
S Turn the fan 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  
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 The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by  
room temperature. On warm days defrosting will  
be faster than on cooler days.  
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.

of more stubborn soilage.  
CLEANING THE PLATED HANDLES  
(Where applicable)  
It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water  
is used for cleaning the handles. ANY OTHER  
CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE PLATED  
FINISH.  
TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE  
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB  
We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob  
Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to  
remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar  
solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent  
damage.  
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning.  
It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to  
prevent soilage being burnt on.  
Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the  
ceramic glass as they may damaged by the cleaning  
agents recommended.  
1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.  
2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle  
of 30° to remove as much soilage as possible.  
DAILY CLEANING  
3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off  
as directed above.  
Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If  
soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much  
easier to clean off.  
1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre  
of each area to be cleaned.  
TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR  
WHITE AND SILVER MARKS  
These marks sometimes give the impression of being  
in or underneath the hob glass. They can almost  
always be removed provided they have not become  
excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions above  
under ‘To Remove more Stubborn Marks’.  
2. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad  
made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub  
vigorously until all marks are removed. This may  
take a few minutes.  
3. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp  
paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.  
If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part  
water to three parts Cream of Tarter and leave on the  
discoloured areas overnight. The marks should be  
easily removable the next day provided they have not  
been excessively burnt on. The paste should be  
thoroughly washed off afterwards.

HINTS AND TIPS  
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE  
APPLIANCE  
TO REDUCE HOB 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.  
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as  
they may dull the surface finishes. Regularly wipe  
over the control panel, splashback, oven doors and  
cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.  
To prevent streaking on stainless steel models  
(where applicable) finish with a soft cloth. Any  
spillage on the stainless steel finish must be  
wiped off immediately.  
S Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the  
cooking area are clean and dry before cooking  
begins.  
S Ensure saucepans are large enough to  
accommodate food to avoid boil overs.  
S If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they  
occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.  
S Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the  
hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent  
on the hob surface which will burn and discolour  
the next time the hob is used.  
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and  
should be avoided as they may dull the surface  
finish.  
S Avoid the use of:  
S Household detergents and bleaches.  
S Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not  
described as suitable for non-stick saucepans.  
S Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.  
S Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and oven  
pads.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE  
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS  
THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY  
HAZARD  
S Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.  
S Any of the above products may cause  
damage to the hob.  
S It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products.  
The chemicals in them may react with each other  
with hazardous results.  
S Soilage from sugar solutions must be  
removed from the hob before the syrup has  
set otherwise damage to the hob surface will  
occur.  
S Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on the

FURNITURE  
hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.  
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.

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND  
GRILL COMPARTMENTS  
HINTS AND TIPS  
S Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surfaces IS  
NOT recommended.  
Damage will occur if  
The sides and back panel of the main oven are  
coated with special Stayclean coating.  
abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used.  
The Stayclean surfaces inside the oven should not  
be cleaned manually. See below ‘Care of Stayclean  
Surfaces’.  
The vitreous enamel in the top oven, grill  
compartment and fan oven base can be cleaned  
using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners  
with care. Ensure that the manufactures instructions  
are followed and that all parts are well rinsed  
afterwards.  
S Slight discolouration and polishing of the  
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This does  
not affect the Stayclean properties in any way.  
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.  
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the  
Stayclean surfaces and must not come into  
contact with elements or the door seal as this  
may cause damage.  
S It is important not to allow a build-up of soilage as  
this can prevent the Stayclean surfaces from  
working.  
S Follow the recommendations below to keep oven  
soilage to a minimum.  
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.  
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.  
For advice on how the keep the Stayclean surfaces  
in good condition see ‘Care of Stayclean Surfaces’.  
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.  
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES  
The Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and  
fats when the oven temperature is raised to around  
220°c.  
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.  
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.
