period of use.  
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat up the empty ovens to maximum temperature for a  
minimum of two to three hours keeping the oven doors closed. Ensure that the room is well  
ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive  
to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the  
smell has ceased.  
This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and also any moisture  
absorbed by the insulation.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION  
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens  
can be used.  
AUTOMATIC COOKING  
The Top Oven and Main Oven 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 only during the same  
automatic cooking programme.  
NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook automatically because  
the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause  
bacterial growth in food.  
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING  
1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.  
2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so the  
food is ready when you require it.  
3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.  
4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.  
5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto cooking,  
keep the delay start time to a minimum.  
6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could cause  
the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.  
7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.  
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.  
8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth in  
food.  
9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so it is  
best to add these ingredients just before serving.  
10. 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.  
11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.  
12. 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.  
13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.  
14. Only reheat food once.

DO NOT PLACE FOOD/UTENSILS DIRECTLY ON THE OVEN FLOOR  
NOTE: Ensure oven timer is set to Manual.  
Preheat the grill if indicated on grill chart.  
The grill pan must be placed on the correct shelf and positioned centrally under the grill  
element.  
Leave the control at 6 for toast, and for fast cooking of foods.  
For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower setting after the  
initial sealing on both sides at 6. The thicker the food, the lower the control should be set.  
DO NOT line the grill pan with aluminium foil, as this increases the amount of fat spitting  
which can cause a fire.  
After use always return both controls to their OFF (0) position.

USING THE TOP OVEN FOR SOLARPLUS  
GRILLING  
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. We 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 pre-heat 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 pre-heating the grill for  
about 1 minute.  
Note: You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops you  
from touching the glass tubes.  
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could break the  
glass tubes and expose live parts.  
During use the mesh may become soiled. DO NOT attempt to clean it while the grill is still  
on. Turn off at the control and allow to cool before cleaning. Care must be taken to ensure  
the grill mesh is not distorted - DO NOT store the grill pan handle on the food grid when  
the shelf is in the highest position.  
IMPORTANT  
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR  
CLOSED.

USING THE TOP OVEN AS A  
CONVECTION OVEN  
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. As a guide, the front of the utensil should be approx. 100mm (4”)  
from the front of the shelf.  
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be  
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase  
or decrease cooking times.

USING THE MAIN OVEN FOR FAN COOKING  
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. For  
guides on “pre-heating, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times” see “Oven  
Temperature Charts” later in book.  
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may  
be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be  
necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.  
MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN  
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of  
heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.  
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities  
of food. (N.B. Maximum 3 shelves in the main oven).  
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven  
for cooking.  
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the  
surfaces get extremely hot.  
MAIN OVEN UTENSILS  
Do Not Use:  
Meat Pans larger than  
375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)  
325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)  
Baking Trays larger than –  
TEMPERATURE & TIME  
When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, 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 even gap around the oven.

TIMER  
Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual.  
Step 2 Place the shelf/shelves in the correct position (see Main Oven Temperature Charts.  
Step 3 Place the food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.  
Step 4 Select the required cooking temperature (80 to 230oC) by turning control (C) clockwise.  
The pilot light ( G ) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven reaches the  
required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as  
the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF (O) position.  
At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the door is opened.  
This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door  
seal.

DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY  
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a refrigerator  
(allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per lb.).  
Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.  
However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non-heating  
fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.  
OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:  
Place food in the oven and close the oven door.  
Fan  
Only  
Turn the Main Oven Temperature and Function Control (C) clockwise to the  
setting.  
This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on type  
and size of the food.  
NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.  
Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are cream/cream cakes,  
butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches, pastries, biscuits,  
bread, croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.  
If fish, meat and poultry are to be defrosted using the fan only setting, where possible it  
is recommended that the food should be small & thin.  
The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to  
the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even defrosting.  
Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up  
to a maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).  
It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately after  
defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after defrosting.  
It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to  
prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

USING THE MAIN OVEN FOR OTHER  
FUNCTIONS  
‘S’ SLOW COOK 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 ‘S’ by turning Main Oven Temperature &  
Function Control (C) clockwise.  
STORAGE & 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,  
it 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 (4lb 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 170oC 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.

BAKING GENERAL  
Uneven rising of cakes  
Sinking of cakes  
Ensure that the oven shelves are level.  
The following may cause cakes to sink:  
1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.  
2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce standard  
temperatures by 25oC for fan ovens.  
3. Using normal creaming method with a soft margarine.  
If using soft margarine, use an all in one method  
instead of the traditional creaming of the margarine  
and sugar. Remember when using a food mixer or  
processor not to over-cream soft margarine.  
Over/undercooking  
Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in the  
Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it may be  
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10°C  
to suit personal taste.  
Do not use utensils greater than 56mm (2l4'') in height for  
roasting.  
TOP OVEN BAKING  
Uneven cooking front to back  
Ensure that the cooking utensil is at least 100mm (4")  
from the front of the shelf.  
Uneven rising  
Ensure that the shelf is level (as above) and that the food  
is positioned correctly in the oven.  
Overcooking  
Remember to reduce cooking temperatures by 10°C  
from standard recipes when using the top oven.  
Food is taking too long to cook  
Ensure that the cooking utensil used in the top oven is  
not larger than 300mm x 225mm (12"x 9"), e.g. Do Not  
use the main oven meat pan.

CARE AND CLEANING  
Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off and  
the appliance is fully cold.  
1. “STAYCLEAN” OVEN LINERS  
(a) How "Stayclean" works.  
TOP OVEN SIDE LINERS  
The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners are treated  
with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking  
soils. At 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.  
(b) Cleaning.  
In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C  
(425°F) 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 ovens without shelves or  
meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours.  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the  
"Stayclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is  
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean, soapy  
cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.  
MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS  
AND REAR PANEL  
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or  
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage  
the “Stayclean” oven liners.
