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 control and Multifunction Selector control are switched on. The cooling fan may come on after a short time when the top oven is in use. The cooling fan may turn on and off when the cooker is in use. This is quite normal.
BEFORE USING THE COOKER WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON The timer must be set to manual operation before the Multifunction main 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 Main oven indicator neon does not glow when the oven temperature control is turned, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking.
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 2 shelves for main oven cooking 1 shelf for grilling and top oven cooking Scuffing of the Stayclean sides and back panel by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks will disappear after the oven has been used for the first time.
THE ELECTRONIC TIMER The electronic timer can indicate the time of day, operate as a minute minder and automatically time the Multifunction main oven. A Auto Symbol ( automatic cooking) Bell Symbol ( minute minder) Cookpot Symbol ( manual cooking) Cookpot Symbol Auto Symbol Bell Symbol 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 Multifunction main oven only. TO SWITCH THE MULTIFUNCTION OVEN ON AND OFF AUTOMATICALLY 1. Ensure the clock is showing the correct time of day. 2. Place food in the multifunction 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.
5. Turn the oven control to the correct temperature and select the required function using the multifunction selector. 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 alarm, see below.
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 and Multifunction selector.
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. DUAL GRILL 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 top oven cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions and temperatures as these may differ from previous cookers you may have used. The top oven is also ideal for use as warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot.
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. You can only cook on one shelf when using 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.
When roasting we recommend that you use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior. Note. The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack. TOP OVEN COOKING CHART Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards.
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 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. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. Back of the oven Straight Rods Frame HINTS AND TIPS Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards.
THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN USES OF THE 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 pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratin's, lasagne and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. You can only cook on one shelf when using the conventional oven setting. MAIN OVEN HOW TO USE THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN 1. Turn the Selector to Conventional Oven. 2.
HINTS AND TIPS The middle shelf allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position. The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.
THE ZONED OVEN USES OF THE ZONED OVEN This form of cooking is similar to a gas oven where the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. As there is a difference of up to 30°C between the top and bottom of the oven this feature is especially useful for dishes requiring different temperatures at the same time making it ideal for cooking a complete meal on two shelves. MAIN OVEN HOW TO USE THE ZONED OVEN 1. Turn the Selector to Zoned Oven. 2. Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.
HINTS AND TIPS Remember that the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. The approximate difference in temperature between the top and the bottom is 30°C. If a higher shelf position is used than is recommended in the chart on page 28 it may be necessary to lower the cooking temperature by approximately 10°C.
MULTIFUNCTION 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.
DEFROST FEATURE USES OF DEFROST FEATURE This main 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 MAIN OVEN 1. Turn the Selector to Defrost setting. 2.
A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process. 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.
THERMAL GRILLING USES OF THERMAL GRILLING Thermal grilling in the main oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. The need to check and turn food is reduced. With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can thermal grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill.
THINGS TO NOTE The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn on and off showing that the oven temperature is being maintained. The Selector indicator throughout cooking. neon will glow The oven fan will operate continually during thermal grilling. The oven light will come on when the selector is set. The cooling fan for the controls will operate when the Selector is turned.
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. Turn food over during cooking as necessary. Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc., are piping hot throughout before serving. A temperature range of 140°-220°C and shelf positions 9 and 10 are suitable for most foods.
THERMAL GRILLING CHART Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven upwards. The times quoted above are given as a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste.

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.
CLEANING THE GRILL / TOP OVEN COMPARTMENT The grill / top oven compartment base, sides and back panel can be cleaned using oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards. Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with the grill element as this may cause damage. TO CLEAN THE TOP OVEN ROOF The grill element is hinged to make cleaning the oven roof easier.
CLEANING THE SHELVES, WIREWORK RUNNERS AND OVEN FURNITURE Soak the oven shelves, wirework runners and grilling grid in hot soapy water if heavily soiled, they will then clean more easily. If the shelves are heavily soiled a soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used. The grill pan, meat tin and trivet can be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. All items of grill and oven furniture are dishwasher safe with the exception of the grill pan handle.
OVEN CLEAN FEATURE USES OF OVEN CLEAN The main oven top, sides and back panel are coated with a Stayclean finish. During normal use the Stayclean coating on the oven interior will become splashed with fats and food residues. When Oven Clean is selected, the Stayclean surfaces burn off any soilage. Regular use of the Oven Clean function will help to keep the panels in good condition. MAIN OVEN HOW TO USE OVEN CLEAN MAIN OVEN ONLY 1. Remove oven shelves, wirework runners and bakeware from oven. 2.
HINTS AND TIPS Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time, but this will not affect their self cleaning properties. A good time to use the oven clean function is after the weekly roast. If you do a lot of roasting and very little baking you should follow the cleaning cycle every week. If you roast very little you will only need to follow the cleaning cycle every 2 - 3 weeks. Follow the recommendations below to keep soilage to a minimum.
THE OVEN LIGHT The oven light illuminates the oven when the Selector is turned to . This is useful for improving visibility when cleaning the oven base. REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB Isolate the cooker from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb. The type of bulb required is a 300°C, 25 watt small Edison Screw. 1. Make sure the cooker is cool before you replace a bulb. 2. Open the oven door and remove the shelves and wirework runners.
