DESCRIPTION OF THE COOKER Built in electric double oven WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED Electronic Timer Dual Grill Top Oven Fan Oven Your built in cooker comprises of a conventional oven and dual grill in the top compartment. The top oven is convenient and economical for mid-week use because of its size. The main fan oven is the larger of the two ovens. It is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The main fan oven can be automatically controlled by the electronic timer.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR OVEN The Control Panel Electronic Timer Grill Indicator Neon Dual Grill Control Top Oven Indicator Neon Top Oven Temperature Control Fan Oven Indicator Neon Fan Oven Temperature Control 6
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS Your cooker has a cooling fan fitted behind the controls to prevent them from overheating. The cooling fan will come on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when either of the ovens are in use. The cooling fan may cycle on and off when the cooker is in use. This is quite normal. The cooling fan may run on after the ovens or grill are switched off for a period of time to cool the cooker down.
BEFORE USING THE COOKER WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON The timer must be set to manual operation before the fan oven can be operated. This must be done whenever the cooker is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure. For instructions on how to set the timer see page 11. If the Fan oven indicator neon does not glow when the oven controls are switched on, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking. The Top Oven and the Dual Grill are not controlled by the electronic timer.
COOKWARE Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven. 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. Advice on the effect of different materials and finishes of bakeware is given in 'Hints and Tips' in the appropriate oven section. THE TRIVET When roasting we recommend that you use the trivet in the meat tin.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE The following items of oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker. 1 grill pan 1 grill pan handle 1 grill pan grid 1 trivet 1 meat tin 1 Stayclean Grill Deflector 2 shelves for Fan oven cooking 1 shelf for grilling and Top oven cooking The grill deflector sits above the grill element and prevents fat splashing onto the grill roof. The deflector may be easily removed for cleaning.
THE ELECTRONIC TIMER The electronic timer can indicate the time of day, operate as a minute minder and automatically time the fan oven. A Auto Symbol ( automatic cooking ) Bell Symbol ( minute minder ) Cookpot Symbol ( manual cooking ) Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2pm is shown as 14.00. If the oven is switched off at the wall or there is loss of power the clock will stop and you will not be able to use the cooker.
AUTOMATIC TIMER CONTROL The automatic timer can be used with the fan oven only. TO SWITCH THE FAN OVEN ON AND OFF AUTOMATICALLY 1. Ensure the clock is showing the correct time of day. 2. Place food in the fan oven. 3. Set the length of time you want the food to cook for by pressing and releasing the button and then pressing the + button until the correct cooking time is displayed. This must be completed within 5 seconds of pressing the button. The maximum cooking time is 23 hours 59 minutes.
5. Turn the fan oven control to the correct temperature. The clock will work out what time the oven will switch itself on and will switch the oven off at the end. An audible signal will sound when cooking is complete. To cancel the sound, see below. RETURNING THE COOKER TO MANUAL OR TO CANCEL AN AUTOMATIC PROGRAMME Once automatic cooking is complete an alarm will sound and the Auto symbol will flash to remind you that the oven needs to be set for manual operation. 1. To do this press buttons and together.
At the end of the cooktime the oven will switch off, the alarm will sound and the auto symbol will flash. 5. To cancel and return to manual operation press buttons and together. 6. Turn off the oven temperature control.
THE DUAL GRILL WARNING - Accessible parts become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away. USES OF THE GRILL The grill is situated in the Top oven compartment. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill or the centre section only can be used. Use the full grill for cooking larger quantities of food. Use the centre section for economy purposes when cooking smaller quantities. HOW TO USE THE DUAL GRILL 1. Open the Grill / Top Oven door. 2.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan has a removable handle. To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button. Ensure the handle is positively 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.
The grill pan grid is reversible. This is useful if you want to cook foods of varying thickness. As a general rule, bread for toasting should be placed on the grid in the ' high ' position in the grill pan. Foods such as chicken pieces or chops may be grilled using the grilling grid in the low position. 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.
GRILLING CHART The chart below gives recommended cooking times and shelf positions. Remember that these are a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste. Note Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.
THE TOP OVEN USES OF THE TOP OVEN The Top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. The Top oven is a conventional oven, i.e. without a fan. It is convenient where smaller quantities or convenience foods are being cooked. It is important to refer to the cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions and temperatures as these may differ from previous cookers you may have used. HOW TO USE THE TOP OVEN 1. Turn the Top Oven temperature control to the required setting.
HINTS AND TIPS Use the Top oven when you want to warm plates. Use a setting of 80°C - 100°C on the oven temperature control. For the best results use one shelf in the Top oven. For the best results food should be placed in the centre of the oven. To increase top browning e.g. for au gratin dishes, the food should be placed towards the top of the oven. Similarly for foods which benefit from the base being browned, e.g. pizza, quiches and flans place the food on a lower shelf.
TOP OVEN COOKING CHART Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. FOOD Biscuits Bread Bread Rolls / Buns Cakes: Small & Queen Sponges Victoria Sandwich Madeira Rich Fruit Gingerbread Meringues Flapjack Shortbread Baked Custard Casseroles : Beef / Lamb Chicken Convenience Foods Fish Fish Pie - potato topped Fruit Pies, Crumbles Milk Puddings Pasta / Lasagne etc.
THE FAN OVEN USES OF THE FAN 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 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.
TO FIT THE FAN 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 Back of the oven Straight Rods Frame 14 Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards.
FAN OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by a further 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven.
ROASTING CHART ROASTING CHART INTERNAL TEMPERATURES Rare: 50 - 60°C; Medium: 60 - 70°C; Well Done: 70 - 80°C MEAT FAN OVEN COOKING TIME Beef 160 - 180°C 20 - 35 min per ½kg/1lb and 20 - 35 min over Beef, boned 160 - 180°C 20 - 35 min per ½kg/1lb and 25 - 35 min over Mutton and Lamb 160 - 180°C 25 - 35 min per ½kg/1lb and 25 - 35 min over Pork and Veal 160 - 180°C 30 - 40 min per ½kg/1lb and 30 - 40 min over Ham 160 - 180°C 30 - 40 min per ½kg/1lb and 30 - 40 min over Chicken 160 - 180°C
DEFROST FEATURE USES OF DEFROST FEATURE This fan oven function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. 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. HOW TO DEFROST 1. Turn the Fan oven temperature control to Defrost setting.
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. Care must always be taken when handling foods in the home.
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning the cooker always allow the cooling fan for the controls to cool the cooker down before switching off the electricity supply. CLEANING MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, 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 should also be avoided.
CLEANING THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS PANELS To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: l Household detergents and bleaches l Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans l Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads l Chemical oven pads or aerosols l Rust removers l Bath/Sink stain removers The outer oven door removable for cleaning. glass panels are TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS 1.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER DOOR GLASS 1. Holding the door glass panel with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door. 2. Holding the door glass with your left hand, use your right hand to open the oven door. Bring the door gently towards the glass panel ensuring the screw location holes line up. 3. Place the trim in the correct position on the top of the grill door. 4.
TO REMOVE THE WIREWORK RUNNERS The wirework runners in both ovens can be removed for cleaning. 1. Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven. 2. Hold the wirework at the bottom, unclip from the cavity side and gently pull towards the centre of the oven. 3. Support the side panel at the bottom. 4. Unhook the runner and side panel at the top and remove them from the cavity. 5. To replace, ensure the side panel is assembled on to the wirework runner before hooking it back into the oven.
THE OVEN CLEANING CYCLE - BOTH OVENS 1. Remove oven shelves, wirework runners and bakeware from oven. 2. If cleaning the top oven, leave the grill deflector in place. 3. Turn the required oven temperature control to 220°C and allow the oven to run for an hour or so. THINGS TO NOTE The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will then cycle on and off showing that the oven temperature is being maintained. The internal oven light will come on.
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. It is not necessary to add water to the 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. Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces.
