Before using the appliance  
Rating plate  
WARNING!  
This is situated on the lower front frame of the  
appliance and can be seen upon opening the  
door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be  
found on the back or top of some models  
(where applicable).  
Always allow the cooling fan to cool the  
appliance down before switching off at the wall  
prior to carrying out any cleaning or maintenance  
work.  
The appliance must be protected by a suitably  
rated fuse or circuit breaker.  
The rating of the appliance is given on the  
rating plate.  
Do not remove the rating plate from the  
appliance as this may invalidate the  
guarantee.  
Control panel indicator neon(s)  
The indicator neon will operate when the grill  
(where applicable) or oven(s) is switched on.  
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on  
and off during use to show that the setting is  
being maintained. If the neon does not operate  
as the instructions indicate the controls have  
been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero  
and reset following the instructions for the  
required setting.  
Preparing to use your appliance  
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft  
cloth using hot soapy water. Wash the furniture  
before use.  
Condensation and steam  
We suggest that you run the oven(s) and grill  
for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum temperature,  
to burn off any residue from their surfaces.  
Accessible parts may become hotter than in  
normal use. Children should be kept away.  
During this period an odour may be emitted, it  
is therefore advisable to open a window for  
ventilation.  
When food is heated it produces steam similar  
to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this  
steam to escape. However, always stand back  
from the appliance when opening the door(s) to  
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.  
If the steam comes into contact with a cool  
surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a  
trim, it will condense and produce water  
droplets. This is quite normal and is not  
caused by a fault on the appliance.  
The cooling fan for the controls  
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away  
condensation and foodstuff from surfaces.  
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the  
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.  
The cooling fan comes on immediately when  
the grill/top oven is switched on and after a  
short time when the main oven is in use. It may  
run on after the controls are switched off until  
the appliance has cooled.  
During the initial period the cooling fan may  
turn on and off, this is quite normal.  
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.

Automatic cooking  
It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as short a  
time as possible before automatic cooking. Always  
ensure commercially prepared food is well within its  
When cooking is complete, do not leave food to stand  
in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly if the food  
is not to be consumed immediately. Always ensure

The hob  
WARNING!  
Do not use the appliance if the ceramic glass  
is damaged. If a fault or crack becomes  
visible, disconnect the appliance  
immediately from the electricity supply and  
contact your local service force centre.  
Using the hob  
Turn the hob control  
knob to the required  
setting.  
The highest number represents the hottest  
setting and the lowest number represents the  
coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to  
the quantity and type of food to be cooked.  
normal, causes no damage to the hob and little  
delay in cooking times.  
Excessive switching may however be caused  
by the use of an unsuitable saucepan or a  
saucepan which is smaller than the heated  
area. If excessive switching occurs,  
Recommended saucepans  
Only saucepans with flat bases and close fitting  
lids are recommended. The saucepan base  
should be approximately the same size as the  
cooking area.  
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed  
to remove edges and take off any deposits left  
from manufacture.  
discontinue use of the saucepan.  
Hints and tips when using the  
hob  
Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the  
hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and  
metal marks from saucepans with aluminium  
bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off  
providing they are not allowed to burn on.  
Traditional round-bottomed Woks must not be  
used even with a stand. Woks with flat-  
bottomed bases are available and do comply  
with the above recommendations.  
IMPORTANT!  
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen  
to switch on and off when higher heat  
settings are being used. This is due to a  
safety device, which prevents the glass from  
overheating.  
Follow any guidelines provided by the  
saucepan manufacturer, particularly those  
relating to recommended heat settings.  
Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted  
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should  
not be used.

with a saucepan.  
Do not allow hot pans or baking trays to  
touch the controls as dammage may occur.  
Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean  
and dry before the start of cooking.  
Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to  
keep the hob looking like new.  
If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.  
jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the hob  
before it sets and becomes hard otherwise  
damage to the hob will occur.  
The grill  
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.  
CAUTION!  
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is  
in use. Young children should be kept away.  
Using the grill  
Turn the top oven/grill The grill settings are as follows:-  
grill to the required  
setting.  
Full grill area at ¼ power.  
Centre grill area at full power.  
Full grill area at full power.  
Some smoke from fat splashes may be  
evident as the grill cleans itself.  
Things to note  
To ensure optimal cooking performance  
the elements have been carefully  
designed, so that only the inner element  
glows red. The outer element is hot, but  
will remain dark in colour. This gives you  
the best possible cooking results.  
The cooling fan for the controls may operate  
after a time.  
WARNING!  
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as  
this can lead to grill fires.

positioned centrally beneath the grill. Ensure  
that the cut out on the underside of the handle  
bracket locates between the bars of the shelf  
and over the cross bar on the shelf.  
IMPORTANT!  
To check the progress of the food being grilled,  
the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to  
attend to food during cooking.  
15  
 
Hints and tips  
Most foods should be placed on the grid in the  
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to  
lift the food out of the fats and juices.  
When toasting bread use the shelf in position 3  
with the grid in the high position.  
When using the centre section grill, ensure  
food is placed centrally on the grilling grid  
directly beneth the grill element.  
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few  
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting.  
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as  
necessary during cooking.  
The food should be turned over during cooking  
as required.  
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to  
allow for different thicknesses of food.  
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.  
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and  
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid  
when grilling meats.

The top oven  
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It  
is designed for cooking smaller quantities of  
food. It gives especially good results if used to  
cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury flans or  
quiche.  
The top oven is also ideal for use as warming  
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot.  
Use the top oven when you want to warm  
plates. Use the lowest setting on the second  
oven temperature control.  
Using the top oven  
Turn the top oven/grill  
control to the required  
setting.  
Things to note  
To fit the top oven shelf  
The shelf 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 to that the stops clear the  
side supports. Lift shelf clear. To install a shelf,  
reverse the above steps.  
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON  
and OFF during use to show that the setting  
is being maintained.  
The cooling fan for the controls may operate  
after a time.  
WARNING!  
Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on  
the oven base as it becomes very hot and  
damage will occur.  
17  
 
The material and finish of the baking tray  
and dishes used affect base browning.  
Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick  
utensils increase base browning. Shiny  
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the  
heat away and give less base browning.  
Hints and tips  
Arrange the shelves in the required  
positions before switching the oven on.  
Shelf positions are counted from the  
bottom upwards.  
Because of the smaller cooking space and  
lower temperatures, shorter cooking times  
are sometimes required. Be guided by the  
recommendations given in the cooking  
chart.

Do not place baking trays directly on the  
oven base as it interferes with the oven air  
circulation and can lead to base burning;  
use the lower shelf position.  
For economy leave the door open for the  
shortest possible time, particularly when  
placing food into a pre-heated oven.  
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.  
Ensure that food is placed centrally on the  
shelf and there is sufficient room around  
the baking tray/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.  
18  
 
The main oven  
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking  
larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan  
oven cooking are:  
Batch baking  
The fan oven cooks evenly on both shelf levels,  
especially useful when batch baking.  
Preheating  
To fit the main oven shelves  
The shelf 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 to that the  
stops clear the side supports. Lift shelf clear.  
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.  
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. For best results  
when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready  
meals always preheat the oven first.  
Cooking temperatures  
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower  
temperatures than conventional cooking.  
Follow the temperatures recommended in the  
cooking chart. As a guide reduce temperatures  
by about 20°C – 25°C for your own recipes,  
using a conventional oven.  
Using the main oven  
Turn the main oven  
temperature control to  
the required setting.  
19  
 
It is recommended that when baking larger  
quantities the shelf positions should be  
evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked.  
A slight increase in cooking time may be  
necessary.  
Things to note  
The oven light will illuminate.  
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on  
and off during use to show that the setting is  
being maintained.  
The cooling fan for the controls may operate  
after a time.  
The oven fan will operate.  
If an automatic programme has been set, the  
oven light will not come on until cooking  
begins.  
Do not place baking trays directly on the  
oven base as it interferes with the oven air  
circulation and can lead to base burning; use  
the lower shelf position.  
WARNING!  
Do not place cookware and cooking pots  
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven  
door as damage to the glass may occur.  
Hints and tips  
Arrange the shelves in the required positions  
before switching the oven on. Shelf positions  
are numbered from the bottom upwards.

When cooking more than one dish in the fan  
oven, place dishes centrally on different  
shelves rather than cluster several dishes on  
one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate  
freely for the best cooking results.  
When batch baking one type of food, e.g.  
Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar  
size will be cooked in the same time.

INTERNAL TEMPERATURES –  
Rare: 50-60°C; Medium: 60-70°C; Well done: 70-80°C  
The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but  
slight adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of  
the meat. However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender  
cuts or larger joints.  
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking time.  
23  
 
Defrost  
This main oven 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  
temperature control to  
the required 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, once it  
has cooled.  
Care must always be taken when handling  
foods in the home. Always follow the basic  
rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial  
growth and cross contamination when  
defrosting, preparing, cooking, cooling and  
freezing foods.  
Things to note  
The oven fan and interior light will come on.  
Hints and tips  
Place the frozen food in a single layer where  
possible and turn it over half way through the  
defrosting process.  
The actual speed of defrosting is influenced  
by room temperature. On warm days  
defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.  
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry  
slowly in the fridge. However, this process  
can be accelerated by using the defrost  
function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen  
peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver,  
thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 –  
2 hours.  
A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be  
thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove  
the giblets as soon as possible during the  
thawing process.  
24  
 
Main oven light  
It is possible to turn the light on in your main  
oven.  
Using main oven light  
Turn the main oven  
temperature control to  
the required setting.  
Slow cook  
The slow cook setting gives a very low heat in  
the oven. It is particularly useful when you are  
cooking soups, stews and casseroles because  
the long slow cooking will make cheaper,  
tougher cuts of meat more tender.  
Some foods such as pastry and biscuits are not  
suitable for slow cooking because the  
temperature is too low. Cover all food during  
cooking to prevent it from drying out. You can  
uncover food for the last half hour if it is  
normally served golden brown.  
Using slow cook  
You need to cook food at 170oC for 30 minutes before you turn the oven down to the slow cook  
setting. This makes sure that the temperature of the food gets hot enough to start the food cooking.  
Turn the main oven  
control knob to the  
required setting  
After 30 minutes turn  
the main oven control  
to the slow cook  
setting  
25  
 
Food preparation – slow cooking  
Joints of meat and poultry  
Do not cook meat joints over 2.7kg (6lb).  
Do not cook poultry over 2 kg (4lb 8oz).  
Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or  
above.  
Milk puddings  
Cover the cereal with boiling water and leave  
it to stand for 30 minutes.  
Drain and make the pudding in the usual  
way.  
Cook stuffing separately.  
Cook for at least six hours.  
General points  
Only cook joints of pork if you can make  
sure, by using a meat thermometer, that the  
temperature inside the joint is at least 88°C.  
For good air circulation always stand joints  
on a rack in a roasting tin or casserole.  
Thaw all frozen meat and poultry before you  
cook it.  
Frozen Foods  
Thaw thoroughly before cooking.  
Thickening  
Toss meat in flour for casseroles.  
Alternatively blend cornflour with water and add  
it at the end of cooking.  
Prime cuts of meat do not benefit from slow  
cooking.  
Remove excess fat and skin unless it is  
browned first.  
Flavouring  
Flavours are held in the food because there is  
little evaporation. Adjust flavouring at the end of  
the cooking time.  
Soups, casseroles and stews  
Do not cook casseroles over 2.7 kg (6lb).  
Bring to the boil on the hob then cook on  
slow cook.  
Cook on the middle shelf of the oven or  
above.  
Liquid  
Use slightly less liquid as there is little  
evaporation during cooking. Always add milk  
and milk products, for example cream towards  
the end of cooking to prevent them from  
curdling.  
Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.  
Vegetables  
Cut into small pieces.  
Reheating  
Dried beans must be pre-soaked then boiled  
in an open pan for 15 minutes before adding  
to any dish.  
Cool left over food quickly and then put it in the  
fridge. Do not reheat food using the slow cook  
setting. Reheat food in the usual way or in a  
microwave. Only reheat food once.  
Place vegetables under meat in casseroles.  
Cover food with a tight fitting lid or tin foil.

Care and cleaning  
Cleaning the ceramic hob  
WARNING!  
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before  
cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic  
hob daily to prevent foodstuff being burnt on.  
Take care to avoid the hob trims when  
cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be  
damaged by the cleaning agents.  
Before cleaning always allow the appliance  
to cool down before switching off at the  
electricity supply.  
Cleaning materials  
Before using any cleaning materials on your  
appliance, check that they are suitable and  
that their use is recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
Daily cleaning  
Use a hob-cleaning product specifically  
designed for ceramic hobs daily. If foodstuff  
is not allowed to burn on it will be much  
easier to clean off.  
Cleaners that contain bleach should not be  
used as they may dull the surface finishes.  
Harsh abrasives and scourers should also be  
avoided. Multi-surface anti-bacterial cleaning  
products should not be used on the ceramic  
hob or on the surrounding trims.  
Apply a small amount of hob cleaner in the  
centre of each area to be cleaned.  
Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad  
designed for non-stick saucepans and rub  
vigorously until all marks are removed. This  
may take a few minutes.  
Wipe off residues of cleaner with another  
damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft  
cloth.  
Cleaning the outside of the  
appliance  
Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g.  
abrasive cream cleaners, wire wool pads or  
scourers on painted or printed finishes as  
damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the  
control panel, control knobs, handles, doors  
and appliance sides using a soft cloth and hot  
soapy water. To prevent streaking, finish with  
a soft cloth.  
If hob cleaner is unavailable, one or more of  
the cleaning agents below may be used  
temporarily:  
Cream Cleaner  
Baking Soda  
Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive  
and should be avoided as they may dull the  
surface finish. Any spillage on the  
stainless steel finish must be wiped off  
immediately.  
To remove more stubborn  
marks  
Cream cleaner may be used to clean off  
more stubborn stains or to remove  
discolouration.  
It may be necessary to rub the marks hard  
for several minutes.  
Use a plastic pad designed for non-stick  
saucepans with cream cleaner for removal of  
more stubborn stains.  
WARNING!  
Do not attempt to remove any of the control  
knobs from the appliance as this may cause  
damage and is a safety hazard.  
27  
 
Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean  
the hob. These may leave a layer of soiled  
detergent on the hob surface, which will burn  
and discolour the next time the hob is used.  
To remove burnt on foodstuff  
We strongly recommend the use of a  
Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single  
edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the  
hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not  
removed can cause permanent damage.  
Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.  
Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an  
angle of 30° to remove as much foodstuff as  
possible.  
Avoid the use of:  
Household detergents and bleaches.  
Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are  
not described as suitable for non-stick  
saucepans.  
Abrasive cleaning pads, scourers and steel  
wool pads.  
Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and  
oven pads.  
Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.  
Any of the above products may cause  
damage to the hob.  
It is dangerous to mix different cleaning  
products. The chemicals in them may react  
with each other with hazardous results.  
Sugar solutions must be removed from the  
hob before the syrup has set otherwise  
damage to the hob surface will occur.  
Avoid placing plastic items, foil or dishes on  
the hot surface as this will cause damage to  
the hob  
Use hob cleaner or cream cleaner to finish off  
as directed above.  
To remove discolourations or  
white and silver marks  
These marks sometimes give the impression  
of being in or underneath the hob glass.  
They can almost always be removed  
provided they have not become excessively  
burnt on. Follow the instructions above under  
‘To remove more stubborn marks’.  
If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of  
one part water to three parts Cream of Tarter  
and leave on the discoloured areas overnight.  
The marks should be easily removable the  
next day provided they have not been  
excessively burnt on. The paste should be  
thoroughly washed off afterwards.  
Cleaning the grill/oven furniture  
All removable parts, except the grill pan  
handle can be washed in the dishwasher.  
The grill pan, grill pan grid and oven shelves  
may be cleaned using a soap impregnated  
steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy  
water will make cleaning easier.  
IMPORTANT!  
To reduce marking of the hob  
Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and  
the cooking area is clean and dry before  
cooking begins.  
Ensure saucepans are large enough to  
accommodate food to avoid boil-over.  
If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as  
they occur, but take care to avoid steam  
burns.  
28  
 
Cleaning inside the grill and  
oven compartments  
The vitreous enamel coating in the grill/top  
oven and main oven compartments can be  
cleaned using normal oven cleaners with  
care. Ensure that the manufacturers  
instructions are followed and that all parts  
are well rinsed afterwards.  
To remove the glass  
Open the oven door to gain access to the top of  
the oven door.  
Top Oven:  
Carefully push the trim towards the oven  
and lift off.  
Hold the door glass securely in place with  
one hand before sliding the glass out with  
the other hand.  
WARNING!  
Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact  
with elements/burners, door seal, or any  
painted finishes as this may cause damage.  
Cleaning the door(s)  
WARNING!  
To prevent damaging or weakening the door  
glass panels avoid the use of the following:  
Main Oven:  
Household detergents and bleaches
