Oven Timer Operation

(C361E & C461E)

The oven timer offers you the following features:

1. Time of Day

2. Automatic Cooking

3. Minute Minder

Automatic Cooking The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the automatic timer.When the

timer control has been set for one oven it is possible to use the other oven

manually.

Hints on

Automatic

Cooking

1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook and require

approximately the same temperature.

2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about to

finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the

food has not cooled down and does not require reheating

before serving.

3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven,

ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry

should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.

4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if

there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat

and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.

5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,

for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically

if there is to be a delay period.

6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so

that the delay period is kept to a minimum.

7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain

foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to

a minimum.

8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the

delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before

serving.

9. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or

tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to

placing food in the oven.

10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent

boiling over.

11. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to

prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a

good seal.

12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

Timer

1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.

Operation

2. Check that the electricity supply to the oven is turned On.

3. Check that the oven clock is at the right time of day.

Sealed Hob General Information (C161E and C261E)

USE OF HOTPLATES

Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob

surface.

Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower

setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are

specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking and simmering.

Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of

the hotplate.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR DEEP FAT FRYING

Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.

Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.

Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.

Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the

temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.

Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat.

Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added to quickly.

Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

When the control is turned from the 0 position, the settings on the control panel will show

1 - 6, these are 6 fixed positions for cooking.

6 is the highest setting, for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer,

turn the knob to a lower setting which will vary according to size and type of saucepan, the

amount and type of food, and whether or not the lid is fitted. Pans can be placed on the

unheated areas of the panel when cooking is finished and before serving food.

It is inadvisable at any time to leave a heating element switched on without a pan in

position as this wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from aluminium pans more

difficult to remove. To protect elements against overheating, safety cut-outs have been

incorporated with each element. After several minutes with the control at setting 6 the

safety cut-out switches the element Off and On continuously, thus preventing any adverse

effects that may be caused by an excessive build-up of heat in the cooking area.

Setting 1 provides low input for simmering. The control will be Off when the control knob

is turned to the O position.

If the hob should become cracked, never use until repaired. Always ensure that saucepan

handles are positioned safely.

Ceramic Hob General Information

(C361E and C461E)

Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil, as this

Do Not

will result in damage to the surface of the hob.

Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the

smooth surface of the hob.

Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause

scratches in the surface of the hob.

Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob

surround.

Do not place anything between the base of the utensil and

the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats,

aluminium or wok stand.

Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob when it is

not in use.

Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the hob.

Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless they are

being used.

We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two

heating areas.

Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas. Always

ensure that they are placed centrally over the heated

areas and have the same diameter as the heating area

used.

We recommend not to use a utensil with a base diameter greater than 25cm

(l0ins).

Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front cooking

areas.

Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.

IMPORTANT – As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk

attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking

utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (e.g. to answer the

telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.

In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:

1. Switch Off the electricity supply.

2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.

Burns and injuries are caused almost invariably by picking up the burning

pan and rushing outside with it.

Safety

requirements for

deep fat frying

1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate

heating area.

2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full or fat or oil.

3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.

4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food.

This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in

greasy food.

5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the

hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting,

if added to quickly.

6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

Choosing Your Utensils

Below are some guidelines to help you make the right choice of

utensils.

Choosing your

utensils

To obtain

satisfactory performance from

ceramic hob and to

avoid unnecessary damage, we recommend the use of good

quality utensils with smooth flat bases.

1. Purchasing a new pan will not necessarily mean it will have a

flat base, always check before buying. See diagram below.

Remember

Do Use

2. Using the correct pans and utensils will result in maximum

contact with the hob and maximum efficiency as with any type

of electric hob.

Do use good quality smooth flat based utensils.

Do use a utensil which has approximately the same base area as

the heating area zone being used.

Do use utensils which have more than sufficient capacity for the

amount of food being cooked to prevent boil over or

spillage.

Do use utensils with good fitting lids.

Do use a low dome pressure cooker for best results.

WARNING: Extreme caution should be used when cleaning the

hot hob.

Important

1. Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean cloth or a

paper towel to avoid unnecessary damage to the hob.

Extreme care should be taken to avoid steam burns and hot

surfaces when cleaning spillage from the hob.

2. When cooking food which contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a

utensil which is large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar

spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore should be

cleaned off with care immediately. Taking care remove when still hot

with a razor-blade scraper. This will avoid any damage.

NEVER LET IT COOL BEFORE REMOVING.

3. Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before placing

on the ceramic hob.

Choosing Your Utensils

Do not use utensils with rough bases.

Do Not

Do not use lightweight utensils with thin, distorted or uneven bases.

Do not use lightweight enamelled steel utensils.

Do not use cast iron utensils.

Do not use utensils with recessed, scrolled (like a gramophone record) or

ridged bases.

Do not use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than lmm as this

will reduce the performance of the hob.

Do not use a utensil with a convex base.

Do not use glass ceramic utensils.

Do not use use lightweight saucepans with plain thin copper bases on

ceramic or halogen hotplates.

Note: All copper pans are excellent conductors of heat, and are hard

wearing and strong, but need quite a lot of care. They can be very heavy and

do not usually have completely flat bases. The interiors are usually lined with

a different material such as tin.

A stainless steel pan with a sandwich base of aluminium and stainless steel

is an excellent conductor of heat and is suitable for use on ceramic and halo-

gen hobs, providing they are used in accordance with the saucepans manu-

facturers’ recommendations.

Stainless steel pans with a sandwich base of aluminium and copper are

excellent conductors of heat. If using stainless steel saucepans with

aluminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic and halogen hobs,the use

of these pans must be in accordance with the saucepan manufacturers’

recommendations. Extra care should be taken to ensure the base of the pan

and the hob is cleaned, and the hob conditioned, after each and every

use, when using this type of saucepan.

If these recommendations are not followed, the result will be a build up of

small copper deposits on the surface of your hob which, if not cleaned after

each use, will result in permanent marking of your hob.

Always lift the pan from the hob, do not drag or slide across the hob surface

as damage may occur.

cleaning and storage.

The handle can be either detachable from or fixed to the pan.

For a fixed handle remove the screw and washers from the grill pan

bracket, tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the bracket (A), slide it

towards the centre of the pan (B) and let the handle locate over the

bracket (C). Replace screw and washers and ensure that they are fully

tightened up. For a detachable handle remove screw and washers from

the grill pan and keep safe.

Please note that if a fixed handle is required, the grill pan cannot

be kept in the Fan Oven with the door closed but may be stored in

the Top Oven when the appliance is not in use.

Warning: Ensure when using grill pan handle in the detachable

manner it is centralised and secure.

The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either

the twin grill elements on together or the single left hand grill

element only, depending upon which direction the control knob is

rotated. With the control rotated clockwise 1 through to 4 the twin

elements will come on together. With the control turned anti-clock-

wise 1 through to 4 and the single left hand element will come on

only.

The control is Off at O.

Note: The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in

the OFF position.

Food which requires browning only should be placed under the hot

grill,directly on the shelf in the first or second runner from the bottom

of the oven, according to the depth of the dish.

Open the Grill door to the grilling position. i.e. fully.

With the grill door in the grilling position, heating the grill is achieved

by turning the control clockwise to the desired ‘grill setting’ on the

control panel.

Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil.

Note: Preheat the grill at setting 4 for approximately 5 minutes. The

grill pan is placed on the shelf or grill pan support/runner and should

be correctly positioned under the grill element. Leave the control at 4

SolarPlus Grill (C461E)

CAUTION: ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN

GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. Creda

have developed a Solarplus high speed grill which is designed

to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less

time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes

preheat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling

the Solarplus grill can be used directly from cold without any pre-heat.

However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by

preheating the grill for about 1 minute.

You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh.

This stops you from touching live parts, so under no circumstances

should pointed objects be inserted into the mesh. During use the

mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill

is still on. Turn the cooker off at the control unit and wait until it has

cooled down before cleaning.

Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted – do not

store the grill pan handle on the grill pan grid when the rod shelf is

in the top runner position.

There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and one on the right.

You can choose to have both sides on or just the left side on.

Turning the control knob clockwise, will switch both sides on.

Turning it anti-clockwise, will only switch the left side on. The numbers

indicate the heat setting, 4 is the hottest 1 the coolest.

IMPORTANT

GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE

GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED. This will cause overheating.

The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the Off

position.

Grilling Procedure

1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.

2. Ensure that the Easy Glide™ Shelf is located in the correct position (see

‘Guide to Grilling’).

3. Preheat the grill, if necessary, with the Easy Glide™ Shelf pulled out (see

Fig 1).

4. Locate the grill pan in the Easy Glide™ Shelf (see Fig 2) and push back

under the element.

5. The grill pan should be withdrawn always using the grill pan

handle to the stop position to turn or remove cooked food.

(There is no need to remove the grill pan from the Easy Glide™ Shelf).

6. NEVER line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause

overheating of fat in the grill pan.

NOTE: To stop fat splashing onto the grill element mesh, it is

important to use the anti-splash tray. Always clean the grill pan anti-

splash tray and food grid after each use.

Top Oven Cookery Notes

(C261E, C361E, C461E, C365E and R365E)

The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food.The oven is

designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this

is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the

oven.

To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking utensils

are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is directly

above.

There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from

the base), do not use shelves upside down.

Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the oven floor.

There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between the top of the food

and the grill element.

Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when main oven is in use.

The Easy Glide™ Shelf, in conjunction with the grill pan supplied can be

used for cooking in the oven(s), ie. meat, poultry etc. also for roasting

vegetables. Place the Easy Glide™ Shelf in the oven on the same runner

position as stated in the meat cooking charts.

Easy Glide™ Shelf

Important:

Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan when the pan is

being used for oven cooking.

Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the

oven, as the Easy Glide™ Shelf and the grill pan will be hot.

Never remove the Easy Glide™ Shelf from the oven with the grill pan and

food still in position.

Operation

To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise.The top oven pilot light

will come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required tempera-

ture.The pilot light will automatically go on and off during cooking as the

thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

Cooking meat/

poultry

Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs), or poultry, up to 3.6kg (8 1lbs)

(60cm cookers) in weight can be roasted in a small meat pan in the top

oven. Larger joints of meat/poultry weighing more than 3.6kg (8 1lbs)

(60cm cookers) should be roasted in the main oven.

Do not use the main oven meat pan or grill pan as a meat pan in the

top oven as air circulation will be seriously restricted.

Main Oven Cookery Notes

The oven is fitted with ‘Credaclean’ liners, two rod shelves and a meat pan.

Remove the meat pan if it is not being used.

The Easy Glide™ Shelf, in conjunction with the grill pan supplied can be

used for cooking in the oven(s), ie. meat, poultry etc. also for roasting

vegetables. Place the Easy Glide™ Shelf in the oven on the same runner

position as stated in the meat cooking charts.

Easy Glide™ Shelf

Important:

Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan when the pan is

being used for oven cooking.

Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the

oven, as the Easy Glide™ Shelf and the grill pan will be hot.

Never remove the Easy Glide™ Shelf from the oven with the grill pan and

food still in position.

To heat the oven turn the knob clockwise, selecting the require

temperature between 80°C (176°F) and 230°C (450°F) as recommended in

the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and

remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will

then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat

maintains the correct temperature.

It should be noted that at the end of the cooking period their may be a

momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. This will

disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an

oven with a good door seal.

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly,and generally cooks food

at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often

unnecessary. However, foods such as bread, scones,Yorkshire pudding, do

benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.

The ‘oven temperature charts’ are a guide only, giving approximate

cooking temperatures and times.To suit personal taste and requirements,

it may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C.

Unless otherwise indicated in the charts food should be placed in a cold

oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot oven, the

suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending on the type and

quantity of food being cooked.

Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan oven is very even, most

foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should

be evenly spaced.

Oven positions

The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large

quantities of food. Additional shelves can be purchased through your

oven supplier or Creda Spares.

Food or utensils should Never be placed directly an the floor of the

oven for cooking.

Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be

seriously restricted. To ensure oven circulation do not use meat pans larg-

er than 390 x 300mm (15”x12”) and baking trays no larger than 330 x

255mm (13”x 10”), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.

Food should not be placed directly on the floor of the oven. To avoid

unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in use, should be

removed from the oven.

Main Oven Cookery Notes

When all three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for home

Temperature

and time

freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the cooking times given in

the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to

extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food. Baking trays

should have an equal gap at either side of the oven.

Frozen meat

and poultry

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a

domestic refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per 450g (1 lb), or at room

temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g (1 lb).

Using the Main Oven for other Functions

“SLOW” setting

This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short

periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be

damaged in a hot oven.

DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the

oven lining and the plates which are being warmed.

Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are:

The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.

Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.

Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.

Fully loading the oven can be economical.

Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.

Operation:

1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.

2. Select

(Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Main Oven Temperature

Control clockwise ensuring the oven door is fully closed.

Storage and re-heating of food:

1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container

and cool as soon as possible.

2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.

3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.

4. Only re-heat food once.

Points to consider when preparing food for “SLOW” cooking:

1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room

for air to circulate.

2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however,

if they are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may

be noticed.

3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4 lb 8oz).

We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on

the slow setting.

4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170^oC for 30 minutes

before wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air

circulation) before turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately.

5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking

with a meat thermometer before serving.

6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend

placing frozen food in the oven to cook.

7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.

8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the

top with foil to prevent loss of moisture.

9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook

properly.

10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.

11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then

boiled for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.

12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to

avoid overcooking.

Care and Cleaning

Ceramic hotplates (C361E, C461E, C365E and R365E):

Clean your Creda Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid repeated burning of encrusted

contamination.

Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of soiling involved (see below).

G minor soiling, where the contamination has not burnt hard, can be wiped off with a clean

wet cloth

G major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt encrustation can be quickly and easily removed

with a razor-blade scraper

G hard water stains, grease spots and discoloration having a metallic sheen can be

removed with ‘Easy Do Cleaner Powder’

G always condition hob after cleaning by using ‘Easy Do Conditioner’ or ‘Hob Brite’. Apply a

small amount of conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Rub vigorously.

Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel. Polish with a clean cloth or paper

towel before the conditioner dries.

Detergent residues must always be completely removed with a clean wet cloth, (even if the

instructions for use suggest otherwise), as they can have an etching effect when reheated. Then

wipe dry.

To maintain hob in good condition, we would recommend regular use of the ‘Easy Do Powder

Cleanser’.

Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 min-

utes. Remove all residue with a clean damp cloth or paper towel.Then use conditioner to protect

the hob.

For more stubborn marks, mix a small amount of the powder cleanser with‘Cif Lemon Juice’(from

a bottle) and carefully spread over the affected area. Cover with a damp paper towel and leave for

a minimum of 15 minutes. Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp cloth or paper towel

before the conditioner dries. Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel.

Easy Do products are available from many electrical retailers, CredaCare Parts Department and

Creda Spares Distributors. Homecare ‘Hob Brite’ is available from leading Supermarkets.

Electric sealed hotplates (C161E and C261E):

The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a soap filled Brillo pad,

following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages are

removed. Wipe over with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed.

Finally, turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear with a little cooking oil to provide a

protective coating, or the restorative agent Homecare Four Hob, available from Credacare Spares or

leading supermarkets.The bezels will mellow with use to a burnished gold colour, a soap filled Brillo

pad will help to keep them bright,care should be taken not to damage the vitreous enamel hob sur-

face.

Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hotplates as

these can hold condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental operation with a cover in

place can cause intense heat. Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may

cause corrosion.

Care and Cleaning

‘CREDACLEAN’ Oven liners

Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‘Credaclean’ panels.

How “CREDACLEAN” works:

The surfaces of the ‘Credaclean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous

enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220^oC (425^oF) or above, the special surface

enables these soils to be slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more effective it is. In

most cases normal cooking operations at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to

proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly it may be

necessary in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without a meat pan at maximum setting

for a couple of hours.

Main Oven Liners

side and rear panels.

Top Oven Liners (C261E, C361E, C461E, C365E and R365E) - sides

It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Credaclean’ panels in water. If the user feels it is

desirable to do so, wash them in warm soapy water, followed by rinsing in clean water. Do not use

enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven chemical cleaners of any kind.

Decorative trims (all models) / Vitreous enamel hob (C161E and C261E):

It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling which may

detract from the appearance of the cooker.The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the

trims with a soft cloth wrung out in hot water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the

cleaner on a small area of trim which is not noticeable in normal use).Then, after wiping with a cloth

wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.

Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners/powders which may scratch the surface.

Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift the door seal from the

oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.

Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during cleaning, and furthermore that the

lettering is not blurred or removed.

Control Panel:

Wipe with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.

Grill Door:

Wipe over the grill door decorative outer panel; with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, then after

wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Do not use scouring pads

or abrasive powder which may scratch the surface. Ensure that the glass panel is not

subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.

Care and Cleaning

Grill:

Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediately after

use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a

fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners the grill deflector plate

(not applicable on C365E) and the floor of the compartment.

Note:Take care when cleaning the Easy Glide™ Shelf not to trap fingers between mating parts.

Main oven / Grill:

1. Glass Door – open the oven door fully. The glass panel may now be cleaned.

Stubborn stains can be removed by using a fine steel wool soap pad. Do not use scouring pads,

or abrasive powder, which will scratch the glass. Ensure that the glass panel is not

subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.

For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be cleaned, while still warm. For removing stubborn

stains see page 48, cleaning .

2. Remove the rod shelves and meat pan.

Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves, meat pan and the

floor of the oven. Refer to the instructions on page 46 for cleaning the ‘Credaclean’ panels.

Do not use aerosol cleaners on this oven as they could adversely affect the fan motor unit, and

cannot be wiped off the fan blade.

Replacement oven lamp:

CAUTION - DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING THE LAMP.

Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to protect the fingers grip
