BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

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).

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.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before use.

We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –

15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their surfaces.

The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.

During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON

The oven has a 24 hour clock. When the oven is first switched on at the wall the electronic display will automatically show 12.00, and the 'Time' indicator neon ( ) will also flash.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when the oven is in use. It runs 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.

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.

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.

POP IN POP OUT CONTROLS

These control knobs can remain flush with the control panel when not in use, or pushed and released to stand out from the panel for easy operation.

FAN SELECTOR BUTTON

The Second Oven enables you to cook with the oven fan in operation or by conventional means.

Push in the Fan Selector button for fan assisted cooking. Push the button out for conventional oven cooking. Refer to the appropriate oven section for full instructions.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

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.

To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

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.

HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND

PREPARING FOOD

Care must be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods:-

1. Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you cannot store them straight away. The use of an insulated container when shopping is advisable.

2. When you arrive home, place perishable foods in the refrigerator or freezer immediately. Ensure they are well covered to prevent them drying out and to prevent any possible cross contamination with bacteria from raw to cooked foods.

3. In the kitchen keep work tops, chopping boards and utensils clean with hot soapy water between preparation stages. Ideally, keep one chopping board for raw meat and another for other foods.

Keep your dish cloths and tea towels clean.

FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL

WARNING – Accessible parts become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children 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 FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL

To operate the grill, pop out and turn the second oven/grill control to the full power setting ( ), then turn down as necessary.

The grill settings are as follows:-

·

( ) Top Heat.

·

( ) Economy Grill (at full power).

·

( ) Full Width Grill (at full power).

THINGS TO NOTE

·

The oven light will illuminate.

·

The control knob surround will illuminate.

·

The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time.

·

We recommend using the grill pan on the shelf in positions 3 or 5 .

·

The grill may be used with the door open or with the door closed.

Ensure the grill pan is properly located .

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 slightly upwards inserting the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.

Ensure the handle is properly 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.

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.

11

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.

·

Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.

·

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 around the outer edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats.

·

When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position.

·

When using the centre section grill, ensure food is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath the grill element.

·

Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position as necessary during cooking.

·

The food should be turned over during cooking as required

VENTITHERM ® FAN ASSISTED SECOND OVEN

The second oven is the smaller of the two ovens.

It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven and a fan. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet and 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 second oven when you want to warm plates.

Use the lowest setting on the second oven temperature control.

USING VENTITHERM ® FAN ASSISTED

SECOND OVEN

·

Push in the Fan Selector button.

·

Push out and turn the second oven/grill temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

·

The oven light will illuminate.

·

The Fan Selector neon will illuminate.

·

The control knob surround 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.

Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.

TO FIT THE SECOND 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.

13

HINTS AND TIPS

·

Use the second oven when you want to warm plates. Use the lowest setting on the second oven temperature control.

·

You can use both shelves when using the fan assisted oven.

·

There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the grill 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 or dish to allow for maximum circulation.

·

Where a degree of evenness in baking is required, it may be necessary to interchange food during cooking.

·

Where a larger quantity of food is to be cooked we recommend you use the main oven.

·

Place 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 will affect the degree of base browning of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium of polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.

·

Do not use the grill pan as a baking tray as this will increase base browning of the food.

·

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.

·

Because of the smaller cooking space and lower temperatures, shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations in the cooking chart.

·

For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.

14

SECOND OVEN CONVENTIONAL COOKING

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. For best results cook on one level.

USING SECOND OVEN CONVENTIONAL

COOKING

·

Push out the Fan Selector button.

·

Push out and turn the second oven/grill temperature control clockwise to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

·

The oven light will illuminate.

·

The control knob surround 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.

Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.

TO FIT THE SECOND 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.

15

HINTS AND TIPS

·

Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more than one level of cooking use the main fan oven.

·

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.

·

There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the grill 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 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 will affect the degree of 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.

·

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.

·

Because of the smaller cooking space and lower temperatures, shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations in the cooking chart.

·

For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.

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.

ROTITHERM ROASTING SECOND OVEN

Rotitherm Roasting in the second oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling.

Rotitherm Roasting 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 Rotitherm Roast 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.

Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and browned on the top using the Rotitherm Roasting function.

COOKING TIMES

Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook when Rotitherm Roasting compared with conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that larger quantities can be cooked at the same time.

USING ROTITHERM ROASTING SECOND

OVEN

Always Rotitherm Roast with the oven door closed and with the grill pan handle removed.

·

Push in the Fan Selector button.

·

Pop out and turn the second oven/grill control to the full power setting ( ), then turn down as necessary.

The grill settings are as follows:-

·

( ) Top Heat.

·

( ) Economy Grill (at full power).

·

( ) Full Width Grill (at full power).

·

Locate the grill pan on shelf 3 or 5.

·

Remove the handle from the grill pan and close the oven door.

THINGS TO NOTE

·

The oven light will illuminate.

·

The control surrounds 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.

18

HINTS AND TIPS

·

Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking.

·

Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food.

·

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.

·

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°C - 220° is suitable for most foods. Be prepared to make suitable adjustments during cooking to suit individual requirements. If rotitherm roasting on more than one level, it may be necessary to interchange the food on the shelves during cooking.

FAN CONTROLLED DEFROSTING SECOND OVEN

This second 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.

USING FAN CONTROLLED DEFROSTING

SECOND OVEN

·

Push in the Fan Selector button.

·

The second oven/grill temperature control should be at the Off '0' position.

THINGS TO NOTE

·

The oven fan and internal oven light will operate.

·

The cooling fan does not operate.

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.

·

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.

MAIN OVEN FULL WIDTH DUAL GRILL

WARNING – Accessible parts become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children 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 MAIN OVEN FULL WIDTH DUAL

GRILL

·

To operate the grill, pop out and turn the main oven multifunction selector to full grill.

·

Pop out and turn the main oven multifunction selector to centre section only.

·

Turn the main oven temperature control knob to the right as far as it will go. This is the hottest setting. To use the grill at lower settings, turn the temperature control knob so that 110°C or 150°C on the panel lines up with the "0" on the knob.

THINGS TO NOTE

·

The oven light will illuminate.

·

The control knob surround will illuminate.

·

The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time.

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.

·

Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.

·

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.

21

·

Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed around the outer edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats.

·

When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'high' position.

·

When using the centre section grill, ensure food is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath the grill element.

·

Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to seal meat or for toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position as necessary during cooking.

·

The food should be turned over during cooking as required

VENTITHERM ® FAN OPERATED COOKING

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. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals 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 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes, using a conventional oven.

BATCH BAKING

The Fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

USING VENTITHERM ® FAN OPERATED

COOKING

·

Push out and turn the main oven multifunction selector to Ventitherm ® Fan Operated Cooking.

·

Push out and turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

·

The oven light will illuminate.

·

The control surrounds 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 fan and light do not come on until cooking begins.

23

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 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.

HINTS AND TIPS

·

Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are counted 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.

·

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.

·

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.

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.

24

CONVENTIONAL COOKING

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 COOKING

·

Push out and turn the main oven multifunction selector to Conventional Cooking.

·

Push out and turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

·

The oven light will illuminate.

·

The control surrounds 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.

·

If an automatic programme has been set, the oven light will not come on until cooking begins.

Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the oven base as damage will occur.

25

HINTS AND TIPS

·

Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more than one level of cooking use the main fan oven.

·

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.

·

There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the grill 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 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 will affect the degree of 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.

·

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.

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.

ROTITHERM ROASTING MAIN OVEN

Rotitherm Roasting in the main oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling.

Rotitherm Roasting 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 Rotitherm Roast 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.

Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and browned on the top using the Rotitherm Roasting function.

COOKING TIMES

Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook when Rotitherm Roasting compared with conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that larger quantities can be cooked at the same time.

USING ROTITHERM ROASTING

Always Rotitherm Roast with the oven door closed and with the grill pan handle removed.

·

Push out and turn the main oven multifunction selector to Rotitherm Roasting.

·

·

The oven fan will operate.

32

HINTS AND TIPS

·

Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking.

·

Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food.

·

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.

·

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°C - 220° is suitable for most foods. Be prepared to make suitable adjustments during cooking to suit individual requirements. If Rotitherm Roasting on more than one level, it may be necessary to interchange the food on the shelves during cooking.

CARE AND CLEANING

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to cool the appliance 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.

Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives and scourers should also be avoided as damage will occur.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE

APPLIANCE

Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob

Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur.

Regularly wipe over the control panel, doors and handles using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To prevent streaking finish with a soft cloth.

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.

Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs from the panel as this may cause damage and is a safety hazard.

REMOVING AND REPLACING THE

WIREWORK RUNNERS

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. Unhook the runner at the top and remove from the cavity.

4. To replace the runners, hook the wirework side runner into the cavity, slide back and press into place.

Ensure the wirework runners are firmly in position before replacing the oven shelves.

CENTRE

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVENS

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.

The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill compartment base can be cleaned using normal 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 elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.

HINTS AND TIPS

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on

Stayclean surfaces.

Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.

It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the

Stayclean finish.

Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.

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 a 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. Removing the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before the outside is overbrowned.

35

CLEANING THE OUTER AND INNER

DOOR GLASS PANELS

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

· Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

· Chemical oven pads or aerosols

· Rust removers

· Bath/Sink stain removers

The outer oven door glass panels are removable for cleaning.

TO REMOVE THE OUTER DOOR GLASS

1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door.

2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive screwdriver.

3. Holding the door glass securely in place with one hand remove the screws and washers with the other hand.

The screws and washers retain the trim on the top of the grill door. Note the position of the trim on the door.

4. Holding the door and glass with one hand, gently pull towards you and slightly lift the door glass with the other hand to disengage the panel from the location point at the bottom of the door.

Gently release the door to close it.

5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Hob Brite. Should the inner face of the outer door glass be heavily soiled it is recommended that soapy water with a high concentration of soap is used. To prevent streaking a glass cleaning spray may be applied and the glass polished with a soft cloth. Ensure that all parts are thoroughly dry before attempting to replace the outer door glass.

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering.

Please contact your local Service Force

Centre who will be pleased to advise further.

36

TO REPLACE THE OUTER DOOR GLASS

1. Holding the oven glass 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. Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert the cross head screws with washers into the location holes with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure.

5. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive screwdriver before closing the oven door.

Do not attempt to use the oven without the glass being in place.

TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR

The inner glass door is not removable. Clean using hot soapy water or Hob Brite and a soft cloth. Do

not use abrasives as they may damage the glass or seal.

CLEANING THE SHELVES, WIRE- WORK

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.

37

REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb.

The second oven requires a 300°C 25 watt small

Edison Screw bulb.

The main oven requires a 300°C 20 watt heat resistant halogen bulb. Always use a cloth to take hold of a halogen light to avoid burning on of fatty deposits.

1. Make sure the appliance is cool before you replace a bulb.

2. Open the door and remove the shelves and wirework runners.

3. Pull the glass bulb cover towards you and then pull it off. If necessary use a screwdriver to carefully lever off the cover, taking care not to damage the oven cavity.

4. (Second Oven) Unscrew the bulb by turning it to the left.

5. (Main Oven) Gently pull the bulb out.

6. Fit a new bulb and then replace the glass bulb cover.

7. Refit the wirework runners and replace the oven shelves.

8. Restore the electricity supply and reset the time of day.
