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.
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.
To move the appliance, open the fan oven door, and
lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
INSTALLATION
If your appliance has been damaged in transit,
contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt
to install it.
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.
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.
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.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
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.
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.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the appliance is
required to enable the appliance 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 recommended cross-section area is six square
millimetres (6.00mm2).
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tile or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.

Note: Vapours from the oven vent may in time cause
discolouration of wallcoverings behind the appliance.
For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile
behind the appliance.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill/oven furniture have been
supplied with the appliance:
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
1 grill pan
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
1 grill pan handle
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
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 grid
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. 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.

only
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON
The light will indicate whether the oven is switched
on, the neon also indicates when the set temperature
has been reached. The neon will turn on and off
during use to show that the temperature is being

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.
S Avoid the use of decorative covers as they can

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.
S To prolong the life of the hotplates:
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.

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 be
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

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°
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 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 17. 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 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
THINGS TO NOTE
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
The fan 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.

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 DO NOT place dishes or 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 the temperatures slightly. Refer to the
recommendations given in the oven cooking
chart on page 17.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight adjustments may be
required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat. However, lower temperatures and
longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints.
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking 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
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 steady room temperature
inside the oven.
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 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.

CARE AND CLEANING
BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO
COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE
SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY
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.
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE
CLEANING MATERIALS
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.
Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, 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.
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.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
Dry as for normal
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
appliance sides using a soft cloth and liquid
detergent.
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with
‘Ajax’ powder cleaner, ‘Cif’ 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.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE
APPLIANCE AS THIS MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-
stick saucepans with ‘Cif’ or cream cleaner.
AFTER CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the hotplates
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or
commercial restorative agent.
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’ Hotplate Cleaning Cloth
following the manufacturers instructions.
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 THE GRILL AND OVEN
FURNITURE
HINTS AND TIPS
S Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surfaces IS
NOT recommended.
Damage will occur if
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can
be washed in the dishwasher.
abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used.
S The Stayclean surface destroys splashes of food
and fats when the oven temperature is raised to
around 220°C.
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 It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or
two per week to ensure good performance from
the Stayclean finish.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND
GRILL COMPARTMENTS
S Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This
DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in
any way.
The Stayclean surface on the rear oven panel should
not be cleaned manually.
S Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
The vitreous enamel oven base and sides in the grill
compartment and the fan oven base and sides can
be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol
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.
oven cleaners with care.
manufacturers instructions are followed and that all
parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Ensure that the
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the
Stayclean surface rear oven panel and must not
come into contact with elements as this may
cause damage.
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.
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.
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.
