Using the hotplate
• Commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.
• Do not place aluminium foil or plas-
tic utensils on the hotplates, as they
may melt and damage the surface.
• Do not use the hotplate surface for
storage.
• When cooking with fat or oil, never
leave unattended.
• Turn pan handles to a safe position,
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance, and
cannot be caught accidentally.
• Position pans over the centre of the
hotplate elements.
• Aluminium foil must not be placed
on the hob as it will reflect any heat
back into the element, which can
damage it.
• Leaving a hotplate on for a length of
time, without it being covered by a
pan, causes overheating of sur-
rounding areas which could damage
the element.
• Be careful when cooking foods in
salted water, or foods containing
large amounts of sugar, syrup or
jam - if they are spilt onto hot areas
of the hob they may damage it.
To save energy
• Always position pans centrally over
the heating area.
• Put lids on saucepans and only heat
the amount of liquid you need.
• When liquids boil, reduce the control
setting to maintain a simmer.
• Consider the use of a pressure cook-
er for the cooking of a complete
meal.
• Vegetables will cook quicker if
chopped in smaller pieces.
• Larger heating elements are ideal for
faster cooking methods, such as boil-
ing or frying, and for larger pans.
Smaller heating elements are ideal
for simmering and stewing, and for
smaller pans.
• Do not use a pan which is too small
or too large for the heating area -
refer to notes on next page.
• We recommend you turn off the hot
plate 5 to 10 minutes before the
dish is ready. This allows the heat
accumulated in the hot plate to be
used economically. The hot plate
remains hot for a while after use.
USING THE H B

Choice of pans
The choice of cookware is important if
you are to achieve maximum benefit
from cooking.
When buying new pans, always refer to
the manufacturer’s guidelines.
For best results and energy efficiency, it
is important to use flat bottomed pans of
the correct type.
Always use pans which are large enough
to prevent spillage, especially for deep
frying, or when cooking with a sugar
based substance.
Trivets, round based woks, heat diffuser
pads and over-sized pans are not recom-
mended.
Type and size of pan
• Cast iron, stainless steel, or enam-
elled steel pans are all suitable for
use on ceramic glass hobs.
• Aluminium pans will give good cook-
ing results but care must be taken in
their use.
• Avoid using double pans or old mis-
shapen pans which are unstable and
dangerous.
• Certain types of copper based pans
may become slightly concave when
heated, which can result in slower
cooking times.
• Always use pans which are large
enough to avoid overflows.
• Pan bases should be thick, flat, and
smooth, to ensure maximum contact
with the hob, maximum heat con-
duction and rapid cooking times.
• Pans with dull or dark coloured
bases will give the quickest
cooking results.
• Pans with highly polished bases can
reflect heat back into the hob caus-
ing the hotplate to cycle on and off
more rapidly than normal, which can
slow down cooking.
• Pans with thin, dented or ridged
bases should not be used. They will
not make maximum contact with the
hob, which can result in very slow
cooking times.
• The right size of pan base will
ensure maximum contact with the
hob and rapid cooking times.
• Use pans with a flat base of mini-
mum 100mm / 4” diameter and maxi-
mum 280mm / 11” diameter which
are stable in use.
• Pan bases that are much smaller or
much larger than the hotplate - eg;
by 50mm / 2” - will result in slower
cooking times.

USING THE H B

In the event of a cooking pan fire:
1. Turn off the cooker at the wall switch.
2. Cover the pan with a fire blanket or
damp cloth. This will smother the
flames and extinguish the fire.
3. Leave the pan to cool for at least an
hour before attempting to move it.
Injuries are often caused by picking
up a hot pan and rushing outside
with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER
T PUT UT A PAN FIRE as the force
of the extinguisher could tip the pan
over.
Never use water to extinguish oil or fat
pan fires.
Warning !
If any of the hot plates become cracked,
disconnect the appliance from the mains
supply and do not use until repaired by a
competent person
Using the hotplate elements
Each hot plate is regulated using a selec-
tor knob.
The control allows for the efficient trans-
fer of heat to the cooking pan.
On the knob, which can be turned in
both directions, there are numbers 0 to
6.
These numbers correspond to the power
setting of the hot plate where 6 is the
highest setting and is off.
8
USING THE H B

Caution: Accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is used, young chil-
dren should be kept away.
Detachable grill pan handle
The handle should be removed from the
pan during grilling, to prevent overheat-
ing.
The handle is designed for removing /
inserting the grill pan under the grill
when grilling.
If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot,
use oven gloves to move it. Do not use
the handle to pour hot fats from the grill
pan.
Food for grilling should be positioned
centrally on the trivet.
Aluminium foil
Using aluminium foil to cover the grill
pan, or putting items wrapped in foil
under the grill can create a fire hazard,
and the high reflectivity can damage the
grill element.

Preheating
For best results, preheat the Oven/Grill for
5 minutes.
To switch on the Top Oven
Place the food in the middle of
the grill
pan - as highlighted figure 10a
- and
position the pan so the food is near but
not touching the top element.
Do not line the grill pan with aluminium
foil.
Use the handle when handling the grill
pan (Figure 10b).
Wh en the food is cooked, turn the selec-
tor control to off (•).
Important: The door must be kept closed
when the grill is used.
To switch off, return the control knobs to
the “off” position.
Wh en using the grill the speed of grilling
can be controlled by selecting higher or
lo wer shelf position.
For toasting, and for grilling foods such
as bacon, sausages or steaks, use a
hig her shelf position and always place
food in the highlighted area - see figure
10a.
For thicker foods such as chops or chick-
en joint pieces, use a middle to low shelf
position./
USING THE GRILL + TOP OVEN
Turn the control knob clockwise to turn
on the top oven and adjust to required
temperature settings. The indicator light
on the control panel will go out when se
lected temperature has been reached
inside the oven. The control has two
oven settings which allow for bottom he
at only or top heat only. Turn the knob
fully clockwise to select grill position
Figure 10 b

Accessible parts may be hot when
the oven is used. Young children
should be kept away.
Always turn the control knob to off ()
when cooking has finished.
Please note: The appliance incorporates
a safety thermostat which cuts the elec-
tric supply to the oven if the temperature
becomes excessive.
When using the oven
As part of the cooking process, hot air is
expelled through a vent at the rear of
the oven. When opening the oven door,
care should be taken to avoid any possi-
ble contact with potentially hot air, since
this may cause discomfort to people with
sensitive skin. We recommend that you
hold the underneath of the oven door
handle.
Preheating
Always allow the oven to pre-heat until
the neon switches off for the first time
especially when cooking sensitive items
such as souffle and Yorkshire puddings
or, when cooking bread.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even brown-
ing, the maximum size baking trays and
roasting tins that should be used are as
follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 280mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to 16
small cakes.
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
We recommend that you use good quali-
ty cookware. Poor quality trays and tins
may warp when heated, leading to
uneven baking results.
11
USING THE VEN
Using the main oven
The oven temperature control should be
turned clockwise and used to select the
particular mode of cooking that you require.
If you turn the dial clockwise and select the
first symbol, this will start the defrost
function. If you continue turning the dial and
set the oven to a temperature, then the fan
oven setting is selected.
There are two cooking functions
available on your appliance:
DEFROST MODE: The fan runs
without heat to reduce the
defrosting time of frozen foods.
The time required to defrost the
food will depend on the room temperature,
the quantity and type of food. Always check
food packaging for the defrosting
instructions.
FAN OVEN: This method of
cooking uses the circular element
while the heat is distributed by
the fan. This results in a faster and more
economical cooking process. The fan oven
allows food to be cooked simultaneously on
different shelves, preventing the
transmission of smells and tastes from one
dish onto another.

Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that all ovens
can vary, therefore cooking times can
vary, making it difficult to be precise
when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary therefore, to test the cake
before removal from the oven. Use a
fine warmed skewer inserted into the
centre of the cake. If the skewer
comes out clean, then the cake is
cooked.
Follow the temperatures suggested in
the recipe and then adjust
according to the temperature con-
version chart/
Do not attempt to make Christmas
cakes larger than the oven can cope
with, you should allow at least
25mm (1 inch) space between the
oven walls and the tin.
Always follow the temperatures rec-
ommended in the recipe.
To protect a very rich fruit cake dur-
ing cooking, tie 2 layers of brown
paper around the tin.
We recommend that the cake tin is
not stood on layers of brown paper,
as this can hinder effective circula-
tion of air.
Do not use soft tub margarine for
rich fruit cakes, unless specified in
the recipe.
Always use the correct size and
shape of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey involves cooking two dif-
ferent types of meat - the delicate light
breast meat, which must not be allowed
to dry out, and the darker leg meat,
which takes longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long enough
for the legs to cook, so frequent basting
is necessary. The breast meat can be
covered once browned.
Always make sure that the turkey is
completely thawed and that the
giblets are removed before cooking.
Turkey should be roasted at 150˚C -
160˚C for 20 minutes per lb, plus 20
minutes, unless packaging advises
otherwise.
The turkey can be open roasted,
breast side down, for half of the
cook time, and then turned over for
the remainder of the cooking time.
If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 min-
utes per 1lb to the cooking time.
If roasting turkey covered with foil,
add 5 minutes per 1lb to the cooking
time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
fine skewer into the thickest part of the
thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey
is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the
turkey will need longer cooking.
13
USING THE VEN

USING THE VEN
Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide are
only approximate, because the size and
age of the bird will influence cooking
times as will the shape of a joint and the
proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. For large joints
it is advisable to thaw overnight.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time
required depends on the size of the bird
- eg; a large turkey may take up to 48
hours to thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to
help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or
other vegetables can be roasted around
the meat / poultry.
Notes:
When cooking stuffed meat or poul-
try calculate the cooking time from
the total weight of the meat plus the
stuffing.
For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the
calculated cooking time.
Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg (21⁄2 lb) may require 5 minutes
per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time.
Position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry will be in the centre
of the oven.
CARE & CLEANING
Caution: Any cleaning agent used
incorrectly may damage the appli-
ance.
Always let the appliance cool before
cleaning.
Do not use a steam cleaner on this
appliance.
Some cooking operations generate con-
siderable amount of grease, this com-
bined with spillage can become a hazard
if allowed to accumulate on the appli-
ance through lack of cleaning. In
extreme cases this may amount to mis-
use of the appliance and could invalidate
your guarantee. Do not use caustic,
corrosive or abrasive cleaning products,
products containing bleach, coarse wire
wool or any hard implements, as they
will damage the surfaces.
Do not use harsh abrasives or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch
the surafce which may result in
shattering of the glass.
All parts of the appliance can be safely
cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water.
Vitreous enamel parts
grill pan, oven compartment
Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”.
Look for one which has the Vitreous
Enamel Development Council’s rec-
ommendation seal. Stubborn marks may
be removed with a moistened “Brillo”
pad. The grill pan may be cleaned in a
dishwasher, or with a nylon brush in hot
soapy water.
Glass parts
door panels
Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth.

Painted, plastic and metal finish
parts
control knobs, door handles & doors, fas-
cia panel
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water.
Chrome plated parts
oven shelves & oven shelf runners, grill
pan trivet
Do not use abrasives or polishes, use a
moist soap pad - eg; “Brillo”.
Warning !
Disconnect the cooker from the power
supply before proceeding with washing
and cleaning and wait until it cools
down.
• The cooker must be cleaned regularly.
When cleaning, avoid using any
coarsegrained abrasive powders, wire
sponges, aggressive chemicals and sharp
objects. The knobs and the fascia panel
should be cleaned with a soft cleaning
liquid on a soft cloth.
• Clean the enamelled parts with a
soft cloth or sponge moistened in
lukewarm water with the addition of
a soft detergent avoiding too much
water. Remove heavy stains with
special kitchen cleaning agents.
• Baking tins and meat roasting pans
should be soaked in lukewarm water
with the addition of washing-up liq-
uid and carefully dried.
• Check to make sure that the oven
door seal is always kept clean.
Cleaning the hotplate
• Clean the hot plates with a damp
sponge and then dry them by turn-
ing them on for a few seconds.
• The hot plate trim rings can be
cleaned with agents intended for the
maintenance of stainless steel parts.
The rings may become yellowed as a
result of overheating. This is normal.
• If a hotplate is to be out of use for a
long time, apply the special grease
periodically.
ven Cleaning
Caution:Before cleaning you should wait
until the oven cools down.
It is the best to clean the bottom of the
oven after every use and not allow the
remains of food and spots of oil to
remain burned on.
