The Working of the Heating Zones
Heating only occurs within the marked circular
cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down
quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive
foods. Each heating zone is equipped with a thermal
limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the
ceramic glass from overheating. After several
minutes at full power without a pan on the heating
zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating
elements off and on automatically to avoid any
damage to the ceramic glass.
The active hotplate pilot light
A short time (approx. 30 seconds) after the hob
heating areas have been turned on, the Hob Hot
neon will illuminate.
This light will remain illuminated until all the hob
controls have been turned off and all hob heating
areas have cooled.

A l w a y s clean spills immediately (see Care and
Cleaning).
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance
there could be some fire risk attached to the heating
of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking
utensils containing oil must not be left
unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in
close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.
1. Switch Off the electricity supply.
NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and
injuries are caused almost invariably by picking
up the burning pan and rushing outside with it.
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan
fire, as the force of the extinguisher is likely to
tip the pan over.
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that
you FACE and ARMS are WELL PROTECTED
from the flames to save you from becoming hurt.
3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE
PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES
BEFORE MOVING IT.
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade
immediately.
Off
To melt butter and chocolate.
To heat liquids.

#
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely
cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat
or oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the
heating or cooking period.
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time,
especially frozen food. This only lowers the
temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting
in greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and
lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen
foods, in particular, will cause frothing and
spitting if added too quickly.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from
streaks of oil or fat.
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the
hob.

Grilling
GB
Setting the Grill
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME
HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN
SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN
WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED.
GUIDE TO GRILLING
Pre-heat the grill for 5 minutes on maximum
control setting before grilling
The settings in the above guide have been
developed to cook food successfully without
excessive fat spitting and splashing.
The top oven/grill pilot light will glow initially and
remain on until the grill reaches the required
temperature.
Grill Pan Handle
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle
securely before use:
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external
‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits
exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2)
and holds the pan from the bottom.
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into
the grill pan will make the collection of grease
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of
smoke.

l
l
l
12
Open the grill door.
Pre-heat the grill on setting 6 for approximately 5
minutes (see chart on guide to grilling).
Fix the grill pan handle securely in position. See
below.
Food which only requires browning should be
placed directly on/in the grill pan in the grill pan
runner, or on the floor of the grill compartment.
(the grill pan grid may be removed.)
Leave the control on setting 6 for toast, sealing
and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods
requiring longer cooking turn the control to a
lower setting after the initial sealing, on both
sides, on setting 6. The thicker the food the
lower the control should be set.
Warning: Take care as the grill will be hot –
always wear oven gloves. Always ensure that the
grill pan is clean BEFORE use. Excess fat build
up in the bottom of the pan could cause a fire
hazard. Never line grill pan with foil.
Top Oven Conventional Cooking
The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is
provided by the grill element and the element under
the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of
cheaper cuts of meat in casseroles etc. but can also
be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).
GB
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf
positioning.
The top oven can be used either independently to
cook small quantities of food or in conjunction with
the main oven to provide additional cooking space.
The shelf should be positioned on the first or
second runner from the bottom.
To use the oven proceed as follows:
l
Set the top oven control to the required
temperature, the top oven light will come on and
wait for the thermostat light to go off, indicating
that the oven has reached the right temperature.
l
The food to be cooked should be placed in the
centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm
(1in) between it and the grill element. This
should avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
Do not place food or dishes on the floor of
l
the oven.
Plate warming in the top oven
Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the top oven
will be heated when the main oven is in use. When
the main oven is not in use, for instance when a meal
is being cooked on the hob, place the plates and
serving dishes on the shelf using the bottom runner
and turn the top oven control to approximately 100
°C. A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is
required to heat the plates and dishes.
NEVER operate the grill control when using the top
oven for cooking or warming plates and dishes.
WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items china
or items which could be affected by heat into
the oven.
13
Main Oven
Cookery Notes
GB
This control switches on the main oven. To select
Fan Cooking - Turn the control clockwise and select
any temperature between 100°C and Max. As the
control is turned the fan will start.The main oven light
will immediately come on.
The thermostat light indicates that the main oven is
heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside the
oven has reached the setting made with the
thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on
and off as the oven maintains the temperature at a
constant level.
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on
throughout cooking. The main oven thermostat light
will come on until the oven reaches therequired
temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the oven
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided
by an element situated at the back of the oven,
around the fan.
Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of
meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating
the need for pre-heating the oven. It is also ideal for
batch cooking where food is cooked on more than
one level, because the forced circulation of hot air
gives an even temperature from the top to the bottom
of the oven.
To use the oven proceed as follows:
The shelves should be evenly spaced. To avoid
unnecessary cleaning, shelves which are not in
use should be removed from the oven.
Set the main oven control to the required
temperature. Pre-heating is not normally
necessary, but some foods such as bread,
scones and Yorkshire pudding do benefit from
being placed in a hot oven (see cooking charts).
Place the food to be cooked in the centre of each
shelf to allow for even air circulation around the
food.

Using The Main Oven
for other Functions
'S' SLOW setting
"Slow" cook is identified as 'S' on the oven
temperature scale. 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 'S' (Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning
Main Oven Temperature Control clockwise ensuring
the oven door is fully closed.
Storage and 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:
GB
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, if 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 (4 lb 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 170°C for 30 minutes before wrapping in
foil and placing on a rack over a meat 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 food first with foil and then the
lid 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.Egg and fish dishes need only 1-5 hours cooking
and should be included in day cooking sessions,
where they can be checked from time to time.
17
Care and Cleaning
GB
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE
THE COOKER IS COLD BEFORE CLEANING.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT
ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING
POWDER,HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING
PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN
CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND, UNLESS
SPECIFIED BELOW.
'STAY CLEAN' Oven liners
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the 'Stay
clean' panels.
How "STAY CLEAN" works:
The surfaces of the 'Stay clean' oven liners are
treated on the mottled face 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.
In most cases normal cooking operations at this
temperature 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 oven without a meat pan at maximum setting for
a couple of hours.
Ceramic hob
To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that
the hob and cooking utensils are clean and dry
before use. Regular use of cleaner conditioner is
recommended for proper care and protection of the
hob surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob
for the first time. It contains a mild cleaning agent,
so that subsequent applications may clean off soil
and apply a protective film at the same time. For
stubborn stains or heavy soiling use any of the
following materials, and finish off with conditioner.
1.
2.
3.
Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.
Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.
Special Powder Cleanser.
Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are
present in hard water, and some foods, may cause
‘discolourations’ that appear in the form of grey or
brown stains. The stains sometimes appear to be in
or under the glass surface. If there are some
persistent stains after using any of the other
recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser
may be applied, following the manufacturers
instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaners or the
18
powder cleanser on the painted metal framework.
Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the
conditioner will make the surface easier to clean
thus ensuring that years of heavy abrasive cleaning
do not progressively dull the surface.
Grill
Remove the wire grid food support, it is best to
wash these items immediately after use to prevent
stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe
out the Grill compartment, use a fine steel wool soap
pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners
and the floor of the compartment. Wipe over the
control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a
dry cloth.
Control Panel
Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or
aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.
Decorative Trims
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly
to prevent any build up of soiling. The
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over
the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in warm water or
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the
cleaner on a small area of trim which is not
noticeable in normal use). Then, after wiping with a
cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean
cloth.
Ovens
Remove the rod shelves. Use a fine steel wool soap
pad to remove stubborn stains from the rod shelves
and the floor of the oven. Clean the glass part of the
oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive
cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp
metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface
and cause the glass to crack.
Oven Shelf Supports
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher
safe.
To remove hold the support at the front and pull
away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned
in a sink or a dishwasher. When removed it allows
access to the oven side, which can be cleaned with
warm soapy water.
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the
rear fixing hole and push in the front leg.
Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the glass door with 3 panels*
Glass door refitting
Open the door fully and carefully
slide the first inner glass
towards you, taking care not to
allow the glass to fall.
If necessary, the glass can be
pushed delicately from the back
side.
GB
To reassemble the oven
doors proceed with
inserting the glass panels
in the reverse order,
pushing gently every
panel directly into the
liners.
Repeat the same
procedure with the next
glass.
It should be pushed from
the back side, as it is
held tightly by the liners.
Now the external glass panel can be washed.
With the second glass
panel (in both doors)
be careful to fit the
glass exactly between
the support brackets
(see the picture)
Push the panel until it
does not protrude
beyond the edge of the
door .
WARNING! As soon as the inner and middle glass
panels are removed , the door slams shut.
SIDE OPENING DOORS
Cleaning the door glass
is the same as the drop
down doors, except take
care to support the
weight of the inner glass
when removing and
refitting.
The glass panel may now
be washed at the sink.
Stubborn stains can be
removed by using a fine
steel wool soap pad.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE GLASS
WHEN REMOVING/ REASSEMBLING THE
PANELS.
When refitting the glass make sure it is fitted
correctly i.e. reflective face is fitted the right way
round.
Ensure the glass panel is not subjected to
any sharp mechanical blows. Take particular
care not to damage the inner surface which is coated
with a heat reflective layer. After cleaning, rinse and
dry with a soft cloth. For slight soiling the inner glass
panel may be cleaned, while still warm, without
removing it from the door.
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door
glass removed.
