To get the best from your new Parkinson Cowan appliance, we ask that you
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Particular attention
should be made to cooking times and temperatures, which may differ, from your
previous appliance.
It is most important that this instruction book is retained with the appliance for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold, or if you move house and leave
the appliance, always ensure that the book remains with the appliance. This will
enable the new owner to be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and
the relevant warnings.
Please read the whole instruction book before attempting to use the appliance
ensuring you follow the recommendations given.

INTRODUCTION
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or
top oven is switched on. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled.
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 cooling fan may operate after a time when the fan
oven is in use. This will depend on the temperature
setting and the length of time the oven has been in
use.
The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is
given on the rating plate.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on.
Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance
as this may invalidate the guarantee.
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.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
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.
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.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of
the oven.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
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.
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.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces, including
the vent at the rear of the hob.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

THE GAS HOB
SELECTING THE HOB
USES OF THE HOB
Warning: If the ignition button is not
pressed immediately a build up of gas
may cause the flame to spread.
The gas hob has three different burner sizes to suit
different types of cooking:
To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots
and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner
size used.
If you close the lid of the appliance while
any of the hotplate burners are lit, the gas
will go out. This is because it would be
dangerous if the burners stayed on when
the lid was closed.
Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food
such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.
Always use the control knob to turn off a
burner. Do not use the lid as a cut-off
device. This will only cut off the gas
when the lid is closed. The gas will flow
again when the lid is opened.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods
such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner
is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should
not measure less than 100mm (4").
TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER
Ensure the pan supports are correctly
fitted before using the hob.
1. Turn the control knob to the off position. This is
shown by a large dot.
See page 21.
When lighting any burner, ensure that it
is lit before you leave the appliance.
TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS
The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark
system.
When turning off a burner, ensure the
flame has gone out before leaving the
appliance.
1. Lift up the lid. You cannot use the hob when the
lid is down.
2. Push in and turn the control knob to the left to
the highest setting. This is shown by a large
flame symbol. Press the ignition button
immediately.
THINGS TO NOTE
If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner
turn all the hob controls off and make sure the
burner parts have been replaced correctly.
See page 21 for more information.
3. When the burner has lit release the control and
adjust the setting as required.
10
HEAT CONTROL
The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from
'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust
the heat by turning the control between the highest
and lowest settings. These are shown as a large
and a small flame symbol.
HINTS AND TIPS
S Keep flames under the base of pans. If the
flames lick round the sides of the pan you are
wasting gas.
S Do not overfill pans or they will boil over.
S Do not use pans with very heavy handles which
cause the pan to tip.
S Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable
than pans which are warped.
S Do not use the lid as a work surface or chopping
board. This could damage the glass and reduce
its strength.
Place pans on the centre of the burners.
Position pans so the handles cannot be
accidentally knocked or overhang the
appliance.
Lift pans on and off the pan supports.
Do not slide them across the hob.
S Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or
removable parts. The spillage should be wiped
up and the parts washed and carefully dried as
soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts
are cool enough to touch.
See page 21 for full cleaning instructions.
S Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. Food
will heat up more quickly and there will be less
steam in the kitchen.
S A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan
supports. If you use a round Wok with a collar
support, the collar must be the open wirework
type otherwise the performance of the burner will
be affected.
Take care to avoid burns and scalds
when reaching across the hotplate.
Take extra care when deep fat frying, do
not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave
a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire,
leave it where it is and turn off all
controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting
lid over the pan to smother the flames.
Never put water on the fire. Leave to cool
for 30 minutes.

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 80°C - 100°C on the top oven control.
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

back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The grill cannot be operated if 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 turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
3. The cooling fan will operate. For more details
about the cooling fan see page 5.
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.
14
HINTS AND TIPS
S DO NOT place dishes or baking trays 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 fan oven. However, they
may be cooked on a straight 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 page 18.
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.
15
THE MAIN FAN OVEN
USES OF THE MAIN FAN OVEN
The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the
oven and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. 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 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 temperature
recommended in the chart on page 18. 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 all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE MAIN FAN OVEN
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
S Turn the main 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.
1. The main 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.
2. The interior oven light will come ON when the
main oven control is turned.
16
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 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 18.

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 main 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.
SELECTING DEFROST
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
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
a
steady room
temperature, inside the oven.
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.
20
CARE AND CLEANING
BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE,
ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO
COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE
SWITCHING OFF THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY.
WHEN REPLACING HOTPLATE BURNER
PARTS
1. Crown to body
(Do not try to force the crown on to the body).
Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the
electrode. Check that the two longer location
pegs sit in the slots in the body. When the
crown is in this position let it fall freely on to the
body. Check that the crown can be moved
slightly from side to side.
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 to prevent damaging
the stainless steel or painted finishes. See 'Cleaning
the Outside of the Appliance' on page 22.
2. Cap to crown
Place cap centrally on the top of crown (enamel
side up). Move sideways and front to back to
check the cap is properly fitted.
3. Check for ignition
CLEANING THE HOB
The hotplate
If a burner will not light then you need to check
the crown and cap positions.
Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as
'Cif'. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes.
If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will
not light.
You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and
burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to
damage the spark electrodes.
If any food spills during cooking you can place the
pan on another burner to finish cooking. Then you
can remove the dirty parts and clean them before
the spill 'burns on'.
Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot
soapy water. You can remove any stubborn stains
by scouring with a soap filed pad such as 'Brillo'. If
you look after the burner crowns in this way they will
stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull
with time.
Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal
marks on the pan supports. Clean the pan supports
regularly to remove the marks using a mild abrasive
like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn
marks you can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'.
After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them
thoroughly before you put them back.
21
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
CLEANING THE GRILL AND OVEN
FURNITURE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob
Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed
finishes as damage may occur.
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.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors
and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy
water. To prevent streaking on stainless steel
models finish with a soft cloth. Any spillage on the
stainless steel finish must be wiped off
immediately.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL
COMPARTMENTS
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and
should be avoided as they may dull the surface
finish.
The sides and back of the main oven compartment
are coated with Stayclean enamel.
The Stayclean surfaces inside the oven should not
be cleaned manually. See ‘Care of Stayclean
Surfaces’.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS
THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY
HAZARD.
The vitreous enamel grill compartment and the fan
oven base can be cleaned using normal oven
cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers
instructions are followed and that all parts are well
rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on the
Stayclean surfaces and must not come into
contact with the elements or the door seal as
this may cause damage.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
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
SURFACE FINISH.
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.
22
HINTS AND TIPS
CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS
S Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surfaces IS
NOT recommended.
Damage will occur if
To prevent damaging or weakening the
door glass panels avoid the use of the
following:
abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are
used.
S
S
Household detergents and bleaches
Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-
stick saucepans
S Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This
DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in
any way.
S
S
S
S
Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
Chemical oven pads or aerosols
Rust removers
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
surfaces from working.
Bath/Sink stain removers
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND

oven soilage to a minimum.
TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS
S Cook at the recommended temperatures.
Higher temperatures during roasting will
1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the
two cross head screws on the top of the oven
door.
increase soilage.
Try cooking at lower
temperatures for an increased length of time,
you will save energy and often the joint is more
tender.
2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive
screwdriver.
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.
Please note that the
door glass on your
product may differ in
type and shape from
that shown in the
diagram.
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.
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 with
care. 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 panel.
23
TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS
REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB
The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small
Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1
(Available through your local Service Force Centre).
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.
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE

REPLACING THE BULB.
2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the
oven door, ensuring the screw location holes
line up.
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.
3. Hold the panel 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.
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.
4. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive
screwdriver before closing the oven door.
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.
Do not attempt to use the oven without the
glass being in place.
Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply
and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary.
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.
TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR
PANELS
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.
