Do Not  
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  
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good  
condition, follow these simple guidelines:  
Do not stare at halogen heating units.  
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a  
cooking utensil, as this 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.  
unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in  
close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.  
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely  
cover the appropriate heating area.  
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat  
or oil.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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 too 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.  
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas  
switched On unless they are being used.  
Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they  
are switched On. 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.  
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the  
hob.  
Safety requirements for deep fat frying  
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:  
1. Switch Off the electricity supply.  
NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and  
injuries are caused almost invariably by picking  
up the burning pan and rushing outside with it.  
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.  
NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan  
fire, as the force of the extinguisher is likely to  
tip the pan over.  
Do  
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.  
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that  
your FACE and ARMS are WELL PROTECTED  
from the flames to save you from becoming hurt.  
3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE  
PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES  
BEFORE MOVING IT.  
Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both  
clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between the  
pan and the hob can cause pitting of the  
surface of the glass.  
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a  
base diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).  
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be  
used on the front cooking areas.  
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade  
immediately.  
Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned  
safely.  
Always take extra care when cooking foods with a  
high sugar content eg. jam, as spillage will

Setting the Grill  
Grill Pan Handle  
GB  
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot  
during use. Young children should be kept  
away.  
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to  
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle  
securely before use:  
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external  
‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)  
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits  
exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)  
and holds the pan from the bottom.  
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.  
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The  
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack  
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into  
the grill pan will make the collection of grease  
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of  
smoke.  
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN  
WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED.  
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-clockwise 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.

Solarplus Grill*  
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 grill pan runners are on the  
top runner position.  
Warning: Accessible parts may become hot  
during use. Young children should be kept  
away.  
GB  
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 which are displayed indicate the heat  
setting:  
MAXIMUM is the hottest and MINIMUM the coolest.  
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of  
grill. The solarplus grill 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 pre-heat before food is placed  
beneath them, but for normal grilling the solarplus  
grill can be used from cold without any pre-heat.  
However, when toasting, optimum performance is  
achieved by pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.  
GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN  
WITH THE TOP OVEN/GRILL DOOR CLOSED  
- This will cause overheating.  
Notes  
You will notice that the grill elements are protected  
by a wire mesh.  
This stops you from touching live parts.  
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects  
into the grill mesh as this could damage or break  
the element tubes OR if the grill is on cause an  
electric shock.  
The grill will not operate unless the top oven control  
is in the Off position, 'O'.  
To operate the grill proceed as follows:  
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.  
2. Position the rod shelf as recommended, in the chart  
(next page), for the food being cooked.  
3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is  
positioned centrally under the element.  
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.  
4. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this  
may cause overheating of fat in the grill pan.

Top Oven  
Cookery Notes  
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.  
Operation  
GB  
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  
temperature.The pilot light will automatically go on  
and off during cooking as the thermostat maintains  
the correct temperature.  
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.  
Cooking meat/poultry  
Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs), or poultry,  
up to 3.6kg (8 lbs) (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  
lbs) (60cm cookers) should be roasted in the main  
oven.  
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.  
Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the  
top oven as air circulation will be seriously  
restricted.  
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.  
Top oven as a warming compartment for plates  
Place the plates/dishes on the shelf, positioned on  
runner 1, turn top oven control to 100°C for 10-15  
minutes.Never use grill control.

Main Oven  
Cookery Notes  
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.  
on any shelf position, but the shelves should be  
evenly spaced.  
GB  
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 our Parts Department (see Key Contacts,  
back page).  
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 larger 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.  
It should be noted that at the end of the cooking  
period there 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.  
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.  
Temperature and time  
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.  
When all three shelves are used to cook large  
quantities of food for home 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.  
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.  
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).  
Oven positions  
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire fan  
oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily  
! When inserting the shelf make sure the  
backstop is at the rear of the cavity (see  
image)

Using The Main Oven  
for other Functions  
'S' SLOW setting  
Points to consider when preparing food for  
GB  
"SLOW" cooking:  
"Slow" cook is identified as 'S' on the oven  
temperature scale. 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.  
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°C for 30 minutes before wrapping in  
foil and placing on a rack over a meat 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.  
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.  
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 food first with foil and then the  
lid to prevent loss of moisture.  
Operation:  
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure  
the door is fully closed.  
2. Select 'S' (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning  
Main Oven Temperature Control clockwise ensuring

CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF  
ANY KIND, UNLESS  
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.  
SPECIFIED BELOW.  
To maintain hob in good condition, we would  
recommend regular use of the 'Easy Do Powder  
Cleanser'.  
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners  
on the appliance.  
! Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge  
and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry  
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive  
material or sharp metal scrapers as these could  
scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.  
Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or  
paper towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes.  
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 'Jif 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.  
! The accessories can be washed like everyday  
crockery (even in your dishwasher).  
Cleaning materials to avoid:  
1. Plastic or nylon pads  
2. Household abrasive powders and scourers. These  
may scratch the surface.  
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.  
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface  
and attack the metal frame.  
Easy Do products are available from many electrical  
retailers and our Parts Department.  
Homecare 'Hob Brite' is available from leading  
Supermarkets.  
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.  
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AT THE MAINS SWITCH  
BEFORE CLEANING.  
'STAY CLEAN'Oven liners  
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the 'Stay  
clean' panels.  
Ceramic hotplates:  
Clean your Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid  
repeated burning of encrusted contamination.  
How "STAY CLEAN" works:  
The surfaces of the 'Stay clean' oven liners are  
treated on the mottled face with a special vitreous  
enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At  
Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of  
soiling involved (see below).  
temperatures of 220°C (425°F) 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.  
minor soiling, where the contamination has not  
burnt hard, can be wiped off with a clean wet cloth  
major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt  
encrustation can be quickly and easily removed  
with a razor-blade scraper  
hard water stains, grease spots and discoloration  
having a metallic sheen can be removed with 'Easy  
Do Cleaner Powder'
