Before using the appliance  
Rating plate  
However, always stand back from the  
appliance when opening the door(s) 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.  
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.  
This is situated on the lower 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.  
Preparing to use your  
Cookware  
appliance  
Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be  
placed directly against the grid covering the  
fan at the back of the oven.  
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft  
cloth and hot soapy water and wash the  
furniture before use. We suggest that you  
run the oven(s) and grill for 10 – 15 minutes  
at maximum temperature, to burn off any  
residue from their surfaces. Accessible parts  
may become hotter than in normal use.  
Children should be kept away. During this  
period an odour may be emitted, it is  
therefore advisable to open a window for  
ventilation.  
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x  
35cm (12” x 14”) as they will restrict the  
circulation of heat and may affect  
performance.  
Grill and oven furniture  
The following items of grill and oven furniture  
have been supplied with the appliance.  
1 grill pan  
Control panel indicator  
neon(s)  
The indicator neon will operate when the grill  
(where applicable) or oven(s) is switched on.  
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on  
and off during use to show that the setting is  
being maintained. If the neon does not  
operate as the instructions indicate the  
controls have been incorrectly set. Return  
all controls to zero and reset following the  
instructions for the required setting.  
1 grill pan handle  
1 grill pan grid  
1 straight shelf

Note:  
The ceramic hob  
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.  
Some switching ON and OFF when cooking  
at high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is  
quite normal, causes no damage to the hob  
and little delay in cooking times.  
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.  
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.  
Using the hob  
Turn the control knob in either direction  
to vary the heat setting.  
The highest number represents the  
hottest setting and the lowest number  
represents the coolest setting.  
Hints and tips  
Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and  
off the hob. 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.

Follow any guidelines provided by the  
saucepan manufacturer, particularly  
those relating to recommended heat  
settings.  
Avoid using thin, badly dented or  
distorted saucepans. Those with uneven  
bases should not be used.

Never leave the hotplates ON when not  
Recommended saucepans  
Only saucepans with flat bases and close  
fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan  
base should be approximately the same size  
as the cooking area. Ensure that new  
saucepans are well scrubbed to remove  
edges and take off any deposits left from  
manufacture.  
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.  
covered with a saucepan.  
Ensure that the hob and saucepans are  
clean and dry before the start of cooking  
to reduce cleaning.  
Follow the cleaning instructions very  
closely to keep the hob looking like new.  
If spillage occurs with sugar  
solutions, e.g. jams and syrups, it  
must be wiped from the hob before it  
sets and becomes hard otherwise  
damage to the hob will occur.

The dual grill  
CAUTION – Accessible parts may  
be hot when the grill is in use.  
Young 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.  
Using the grill  
Turn the top oven/grill control clockwise  
to the full power setting (  
turn down as necessary.  
), then  
The grill settings are as follows:-  
(
(
(
) Full grill area at ¼ power.  
) Centre grill area at full power.  
) Full grill area at full power.  
The grill door must be left open  
when grilling.  
Things to note  
The indicator neon will glow. It may  
turn ON and OFF during use to show  
that the setting is being maintained.  
Some smoke from fat splashes may be  
evident as the grill cleans itself.  
Never cover the grill pan or grid  
with foil as this can lead to grill  
fires.  
The grill pan and handle  
The grill pan is supplied with a removable  
handle.  
To insert the handle, press the button on the  
handle with the thumb and pivot slightly  
upwards inserting the lip into the widest part  
of the bracket. Move the handle towards the  
left, lower into position and release the  
button.  
11  
Ensure the handle is properly  
located.  
To remove the handle, press the button on  
the handle with the thumb and pivot the  
handle slightly upwards and towards the  
right to remove from the bracket.  
Protect  
your  
hands  
when  
removing the grill pan handle.  
Always remove the grill pan  
handle during grilling.  
To check the progress of the food being  
grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on  
the shelf to attend to food during cooking.  
Hints and tips  
Most foods should be placed on the grid  
in the grill pan to allow maximum  
circulation of air to lift the food out of the  
fats and juices.  
Adjust grid and grill pan runner position  
to allow for different thicknesses of  
foods.  
Food should be thoroughly dried before  
grilling to minimise splashing. Brush  
lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil  
or melted butter to keep them moist  
during cooking.  
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and  
mushrooms may be placed underneath  
the grid when grilling meats.  
When toasting bread use the shelf in  
position 1 with the grid in the high  
position.  
Preheat the grill on a full setting for five  
minutes before cooking. Adjust the heat  
setting and shelf as necessary during  
cooking.  
The food should be turned over during  
cooking as required.  
When using the centre section of the  
dual grill, ensure the food is positioned  
centrally on the grill pan grid in the grill  
pan.

The second oven  
The second 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 second oven is also ideal for use as a  
warming compartment to warm dishes and  
keep food hot. Use the lowest setting on the  
second oven temperature control.  
Using the second oven  
Turn the second oven temperature  
control to the required setting.  
Things to note  
The indicator neon will glow. It may  
turn ON and OFF during use to show  
that the setting is being maintained.  
Do not place dishes, tins and trays  
directly on the oven base as it  
becomes very hot and damage will  
occur.  
To fit the second oven shelf  
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.  
14  
Hints and tips  
Arrange the shelves in the required  
positions before switching the oven on.  
Shelf positions are counted from the  
bottom upwards.  
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.  
Ensure that food is placed centrally on  
the shelf and there is sufficient room  
around the baking tray/dish to allow for  
maximum circulation.  
Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking  
tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto  
the oven base and to help reduce  
cleaning.  
The material and finish of the baking  
tray and dishes used affect base  
browning. 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.  
Because of the smaller cooking space,  
lower temperatures and shorter cooking  
times are sometimes required.  
Do not place dishes directly onto the  
oven base as it becomes very hot and  
damage may occur.  
For economy leave the door open for  
the shortest possible time, particularly  
when placing food into a pre-heated  
oven.  
Do not place cookware and cooking  
pots with rough bases e.g. cast iron  
on the oven door as damage to the  
glass may occur.  
15  
The main oven  
The fan oven is particularly suitable for  
cooking larger quantities of food. The  
advantages of fan 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 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 cooking chart. 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.  
Using the main oven  
Turn the main oven temperature control  
to the required setting.

Things to note  
The oven light will illuminate.  
0
The indicator neon will glow. It may

that the setting is being maintained.  
16  
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.  
Hints and tips  
Arrange the shelves in the required  
positions before switching the oven on.  
Shelf positions are numbered from the  
bottom upwards.  
When cooking more than one dish in  
the 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.  
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.  
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.  
Do not place cookware and cooking  
pots with rough bases e.g. cast iron  
on the oven door as damage to the  
glass may occur.

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  
This 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.  
Using defrost feature  
Turn the main oven temperature control  
to the defrost setting.  
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 turn ON and OFF periodically  
during defrosting to maintain a steady  
room temperature, inside the oven.

Things to note  
The oven fan and interior light will come  
on.  
Hints and tips  
Place the frozen food in a single layer  
where possible and turn it over half way  
through the defrosting process.  
The actual speed of defrosting is  
influenced by room temperature. On  
warm days defrosting will be faster than  
on cooler days.  
20  
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and  
poultry slowly in the fridge. However,  
this process can be accelerated by  
using the defrost function. Small or thin  
fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed  
or minced meat, liver, thin chops,  
steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2  
hours.  
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.  
All joints of meat and poultry must be  
thawed thoroughly before cooking.  
Always cook thoroughly immediately  
after thawing.  
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 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.  
21  
Care and cleaning  
Before cleaning always allow the  
appliance to cool down.  
Cleaning materials  
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 must also be avoided.  
Multi-surface anti-bacterial cleaning products  
should not be used on the ceramic hob or on  
the surrounding trims.  
Cleaning the outside of the  
appliance  
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.  
Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted  
or printed finishes as damage may occur.  
Regularly wipe over the control panel, doors  
and appliance sides using a soft cloth and  
hot soapy water. To prevent streaking finish  
with a soft cloth.  
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive  
and should be avoided as they may dull the  
surface finish. Any spillage on the  
stainless steel finish must be wiped off  
immediately.  
Do not attempt to remove any of the  
control knobs from the appliance as  
this may cause damage and is a  
safety hazard.  
22  
Cleaning the control knobs  
and handles  
It is strongly recommended that only hot  
soapy water is used for cleaning the control  
knobs and handles. ANY OTHER  
CLEANING MATERIALS MAY DULL THE  
SURFACE FINISH.  
Cleaning the ceramic hob  
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 be  
damaged by the cleaning agents  
recommended.  
Daily cleaning  
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.  
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 Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of  
the cleaning agents below may be used  
temporarily:  
a) Cif Cream Cleaner  
b) Baking Soda  
23  
To remove more stubborn  
marks  
1. Bar Keepers Friend may be used to  
clean off more stubborn stains or to  
remove discolourations.  
It may be necessary to rub the marks  
hard for several minutes.  
2. Use a plastic pad specially for non-stick  
saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for  
removal of more stubborn soilage.  
To remove burnt on soilage  
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.  
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.  
3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to  
finish off as directed above.  
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’.  
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 shelves and  
grill/oven furniture  
To reduce hob soilage:  
All removable parts, 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.  
Make sure the bottom of the saucepan  
and the cooking area are clean and dry  
before cooking begins.  
Ensure saucepans are large enough to  
accommodate food to avoid boil overs.  
If possible, wipe up spills and splatters  
as they occur, but take care to avoid  
steam burns.  
Cleaning inside the oven(s)  
The vitreous enamel main oven and  
grill/second oven compartments can be  
cleaned using normal oven cleaners with  
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.  
care.  
Ensure that the manufacturers  
instructions are followed and that all parts  
are well rinsed afterwards.  
Avoid the use of:  
Household  
bleaches.  
detergents  
and  
Aerosol cleaners must not come  
into contact with elements, the door  
seal, or any painted finishes as this  
may cause damage.  
Impregnated plastic or nylon pads  
that are not described as suitable for  
non-stick saucepans.  
Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool  
pads.  
Cleaning the door(s)  
Chemical oven cleaners, e.g.  
aerosols and oven pads.  
Rust stain, bath and sink stain  
removers.  
To prevent damaging or weakening  
the door glass panels avoid the use  
of the following:  
Any of the above products may  
cause damage to the hob.  
It is dangerous to mix different cleaning  
products. The chemicals in them may  
react with each other with hazardous  
results.  
Household detergents and  
bleaches  
Impregnated pads  
unsuitable for non-stick  
saucepans  
Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool  
pads  
Soilage from sugar solutions must  
be removed from the hob before the  
syrup has set otherwise damage to  
the hob surface will occur.  
Avoid placing plastic items, foil or  
dishes on the hot surface as this will  
cause damage to the hob.  
Chemical oven pads or aerosols  
Rust removers  
Bath/Sink stain removers  
25  
Cleaning between the outer  
and inner door glass  
The outer door glass is removable for  
cleaning.  
To remove the outer glass  
1. Open the oven door slightly to gain  
access to the two cross head screws on  
the top of the oven door.  
2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive  
screwdriver.  
3. Hold the door glass securely in place  
with one hand before removing the  
screws completely with the other hand.  
4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of  
the door glass towards you, lift slightly to  
disengage the locators from the two  
bottom brackets.  
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot  
soapy water or Hob Brite cleaner may be  
used. DO NOT use Hob Brite on the  
Stainless Steel or painted finishes. DO  
NOT try to clean the 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 dried before  
attempting to replace the outer door.  
If the door glass panel becomes  
chipped or has deep scratches the  
glass will be weakened and must be  
replaced to prevent the possibility  
of the panel shattering. Please  
contact your local Service Force  
Centre who will be pleased to  
advise further.  
26  
To replace the outer glass  
Replacing an oven light bulb  
1. Holding the oven glass with both hands,  
gently place the locators into the holes  
of the brackets at the bottom of the  
oven door.  
The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt  
small Edison Screw.  
Disconnect the appliance from the  
electricity supply before replacing  
the bulb.  
2. Push the top of the oven glass towards  
the oven door, ensuring the screw  
location holes line up.  
3. Hold the glass in place with one hand  
and insert the cross head screws into  
the location holes with the other hand.  
Give the screws one turn to ensure the  
glass is secure.  
Open the door and remove the shelves to  
enable easy access to the oven light  
assembly. Insert a flat blade screwdriver  
between the oven side and glass which  
covers the bulb.  
4. Tighten the screws positively with a  
Pozidrive screwdriver before closing the  
oven door.  
Support the glass with your hand and prise  
out sufficiently to release the glass cover.  
Unscrew the bulb in an anticlockwise  
direction until it is possible to remove the  
bulb with ease.  
Do not attempt to use the oven  
without the glass being in place.  
Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise  
direction until it is secure. Ensuring the  
indent to the flange is pointing to the rear of  
the oven, replace the glass by pushing it  
firmly into the hole to cover the bulb  
assembly.  
To clean the inner glass door  
panels  
Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity  
supply and adjust the time of day and clock  
as necessary.  
Clean the inner glass door panels using a  
soft cloth and hot water to which a little  
washing up liquid has been added. If the  
inner panel is heavily soiled, Hob Brite may  
be used. Do not use abrasive cleaning  
materials on the door glass. Ensure that all  
parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried  
before attempting to replace the glass.
