THE DUAL GRILL CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. USING THE DUAL GRILL • • Turn the Second oven/grill control clockwise to the full power setting ( ), then turn down as necessary.
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. Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handle. Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling. To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.

THE SEC0ND OVEN The second 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 second oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use the lowest setting on the second oven temperature control.
HINTS AND TIPS • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. • 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. When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread, etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf.
SECOND OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary increase or decrease the temperatures by a further 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

THE MAIN 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 is 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 MAIN OVEN SHELVES The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front so that the stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf, reverse the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper and lower support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between these two support wires.

TURBO GRILL Turbo grilling offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. Turbo grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can Turbo grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill. The lower part of the oven can be used to cook accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.
• • • • • Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed below the grid when grilling meats, or in a separate dish on a lower shelf. Foods will cook more quickly the closer they are to the grill element and the higher the temperatures selected. Be prepared to adjust temperatures and shelf positions during cooking if necessary. The food should be turned over during cooking as required. Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc.
MAIN OVEN DUAL GRILL CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the whole area of the grill can be used or, for economy purposes the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. USING MAIN OVEN DUAL GRILL • • • • Turn the main oven function selector to full grill. Turn the main oven function selector to centre section only.
• When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in the ‘high’ position. • Preheat the grill on a full setting for five minutes before cooking. Adjust the heat setting and shelf as necessary during cooking. • The food should be turned over during cooking as required. • When using the centre section of the dual grill, ensure the food is positioned centrally on the grill pan grid in the grill pan.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pies, quiches and flans. Gratin's, lasagne and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. For best results cook on one level. USING CONVENTIONAL OVEN • Turn the main oven function selector to Conventional Oven. • Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.
• Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf and there is sufficient room around the baking tray or dish to allow for maximum circulation. • Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning. • The material and finish of the baking tray and dishes used affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning.
BOTTOM HEAT FUNCTION This function can be used to finish off dishes that may require extra base heat or where base browning and crispness are required by pizzas or pies. Some pizzas should be cooked directly on the oven shelf. To prevent soiling the oven base, place a baking tray in one of the lower positions. USING BOTTOM HEAT • Towards the end of the cook time, turn the main oven function selector to Bottom Heat. • Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.
DEFROST This 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. USING DEFROST • Turn the main oven function selector to the Defrost setting. THINGS TO NOTE • • The oven fan and internal oven light will operate.
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down. 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 should also be avoided. CLEANING THE APPLIANCE OUTSIDE OF THE Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.
CLEANING THE SHELVES, WIREWORK RUNNERS AND GRILL/OVEN FURNITURE All removable parts, except the grill pan handle, can be washed in the dishwasher. The grill pan, grill pan grid, oven shelves and wirework runners may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will make cleaning easier. CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN(S) The sides and back of the grill/second oven and main oven compartments are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned manually.
CLEANING THE DOORS To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: • Household detergents and bleaches • Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans • Abrasive cleaning pads, scourers or steel wool pads • Chemical oven pads or aerosols • Rust removers • Bath/Sink stain removers CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER DOOR GLASS 1.
TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS 1. 2. 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. 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.
