a fire hazard.
• Switch off the electricity supply before
replacing the oven light bulb to
avoid the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use aluminium foil to
cover the grill pan or put items
wrapped in foil under the grill as
this creates a fire hazard. The
high reflectivity can also damage
the element.
• Do not use foil on oven shelves or
allow it to block the oven flue as
this creates a fire hazard and
prevents heat circulation.
• When cooking heavy items - eg;
turkeys - do not pull the oven shelf
out with the item still on the shelf.
• When opening the appliance
door take care to avoid skin
contact with any steam which may
escape from the cooking.
• Use oven gloves when removing
hot food / dishes from the oven or

BE SAFE - NOT SORRY

Warning: Do not use the ceramic hob
if the glass surface is cracked as elec-
trical parts are immediately beneath.
Switch off the appliance at the supply
to prevent electric shock and contact
your supplier.
Before using the hob for the
first time
Before using the hob for the first time
apply a thin coating of cleaner
conditioner and polish the surface with
a clean dry cloth.
The conditioner gives a protective
covering to the ceramic glass which
not only makes the hob easier to
clean but also ensures you will gain
maximum life out of this product.
Using the hotplate elements
To switch on turn the control knob for
the selected hob element to the desired
setting.
Note: The marked settings on the hob
controls do not indicate any set
temperature and cannot be used to
compare the performance of one ring
with another.
The hob rings will cycle on and off
automatically during use as a means
of regulating heat output.
To switch off return the control knob to
the “off” position.
The hot hob light
The hob light comes on when one of
the rings is switched on and will stay
on for a while after the last ring is
switched off to indicate that the hob
glass may still be warm.
Care and cleaning
See ‘Cleaning the Hob’ section.
Dual Zone Hotplate (if fitted)
Some models have a dual zone hot-
plate fitted (left hand rear plate). Turn
the control clockwise to the required
setting to use the whole hotplate if
using a larger pan. Turn the control
anti-clockwise to the required setting to
use the inner hotplate if using a small-
er pan. This is an energy saving fea-
ture and is useful for cooking with
smaller pans or for simmering.

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
plastic utensils on the ceramic
glass as they may melt and
damage the surface.
• Do not use the ceramic glass
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.
• Do not use the hob as a chopping
board or a storage area as this
increases the likelihood of it being
damaged - eg; plastic utensils
placed on a warm hob may melt
onto it and damage the ceramic
glass surface.
• 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
surrounding areas which could
damage the glass.
• 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.
• Lift pans onto and off the surface
rather than sliding them across the
surface to avoid marks and
scratches.
• If you use a wet paper towel to
remove spills from a warm heating
area of the hob be careful to
avoid steam burns.
• Do not use abrasive powder
cleaners metal wire wool pads
impregnated plastic pads detergents
bleaches bath stain removers or
chemical oven cleaners; all these
types of products will damage the
ceramic glass.
USING THE HOB

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
cooker 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
boiling 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.
Choice of pans
The choice of cookware is important
if you are to achieve maximum
benefit from cooking with a ceramic
hob.
Ceramic hobs are not only easy to
clean they are also energy efficient if
you use the right pans to suit the surface.
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 especially on
ceramic glass hobs.
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 recommended.
Do not use double pans rim based
pans old misshapen pans or any pan
which is unstable when placed on a
flat surface.
7
USING THE HOB

Type and size of pan
• Cast iron stainless steel or
enamelled steel pans are all suitable
for use on ceramic glass hobs.
• Aluminium pans will give good
cooking results but care must be
taken in their use. If they are slid
across the surface of the hob they
tend to leave visible marks which
can be difficult to remove.
• Certain makes / brands of pressure
cookers may not be suitable for use
on ceramic hobs - they do not come
to pressure. Stainless steel pressure
cookers will give optimum results.
• Glass pans can be used but the glow
from the heating areas transmitted
through transparent glass may
cause some visual discomfort.
• Avoid using double pans or old
misshapen 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 onto the
ceramic hob especially if a pan
contains any sugar / sugar based
substance as this is corrosive and can
damage the ceramic glass surface.
• Pan bases should be thick flat and
smooth to ensure maximum contact
with the hob maximum heat
conduction 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
causing 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
minimum 100mm / 4” diameter
and maximum 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.

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used,
young children should be kept
away.
Using the grills
This appliance has a grill in both oven
cavities.
The top oven grill is a fully variable
dual element grill.
The main oven features variable
grilling - with a single element conven-
tional grill and a fanned grill function.
Follow the instructions given on the
next page when operating these grills.
Preheating
For best results preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes.
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.
Detachable grill pan handle
Place the handle over the edge of the
grill pan at the narrow side edges.
Slide the handle to the centre and
locate between the handle position
indicators.
The handle should be removed from
the pan during grilling to prevent
overheating.
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.

USING THE GRILLS

Grilling in the top oven
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used,
young children should be kept
away.
The top oven grill is a fully variable
dual element grill.
To switch on the grill
Open the top oven / grill door.
Turn the top oven control knob past the
oven temperature markings to either
the single economy grill symbol
or the dual grill symbol.
The grill regulator - to the left of the top
oven control - must then be switched
on. This enables variation of the heat
output from the grill on either the single
grill or dual grill settings.
The dual grill uses all of the top
element and the single economy grill
setting uses the inner part of the
element only.
Important: The door must be kept
open when the grill is used.
To switch off return the control knob to
the “off” position.
Note that the grill will not operate if
the top oven is switched on.
Using the top oven grill
For grilling smaller quantities of food
the (single element) economy grill can
be utilised. This grill function can be
controlled between settings 1 and 8.
For grilling larger quantities of food
the (dual element) full grill can be
utilised. The full grill can also be
controlled between settings 1 and 8.
When using the grill in the top oven
the speed of grilling can be controlled
by use of either the variable control
or by selecting higher or lower shelf
position.
For toasting and for grilling foods
such as bacon sausages or steaks
use a higher shelf position.
For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces use a middle to
low shelf position.
The cooling fan
When the grill is switched on you will
hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of
the appliance cool during grilling. The
fan may continue to operate for a peri-
od after the grill control has been
switched off.
11
USING THE GRILLS

Grilling in the main oven
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used -
young children should be kept
away.
The grill / fanned grill settings use the
inner element only.
Conventional grill
The door must be closed when the grill
is used for conventional grilling.
When opening the door take care to
avoid skin contact with any steam
which may escape from the cooking.
(i) Turn the selector control knob to
the conventional grill setting.
(ii) Turn the temperature control knob
to the desired temperature for grilling
similar to oven function. However
do not set to a temperature greater
than 230˚C.
Fanned grill
The door must be closed when the
fanned grill is used.
When opening the door take care to
avoid skin contact with any steam
which may escape from the cooking.
(i) Turn the selector control knob to
the fan grill setting.
(ii) Turn the temperature control knob to
the desired temperature up to 230˚C.
Fanned grilling may be faster than
conventional grilling because air is
being circulated around the food.
Thin portions of food such as bacon
or fish fillets may not need turning.
For best results preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes.
Note that when grilling the door must
remain closed before and after
grilling and the temperature control
must not exceed 230˚C.
Grilling in the main oven
The speed of grilling can be controlled
by selecting a higher or lower shelf
position.
For toasting and for grilling foods
such as bacon sausages or steaks
use a higher shelf position.
For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces use a middle to
low shelf position.
12
USING THE GRILLS

When you are cooking keep
children away from the vicinity
of the oven.
Caution: The top element gets
extremely hot when in use so take
extra care to avoid touching it.
The top oven is a conventional oven
Note: The top oven is not controlled by
the programmer.
To turn on the top oven
Turn the temperature control knob
clockwise until the required temperature
is selected.
The red thermostat indicator will come
on until the selected temperature is
reached and then go off; it will turn
on and off periodically as the
thermostat operates to maintain the
selected temperature.
To switch off, return the top oven
control knob to the off position.
Important: Never put items directly
on the base of the oven or cover the
oven base with foil as this may cause
the element to overheat. Always
position items on the shelf.
Top heat only
Turn the top oven selector past the
oven temperature markings to the top
heat symbol. This fixed heat setting
can be used to brown the top of dish-
es such as cauliflower cheese or
baked alaska.
The cooling fan
When the top oven is switched on you
will hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of
the appliance cool during cooking.
The fan will continue to operate for a
period after the oven control has been
switched off.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled foods and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures batters soufflés and
whisked sponges.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time this
will take up to 20 minutes depending
on the temperature selected.
If you are not preheating the oven the
cooking times in the following guide
may need to be extended as they are
based on a preheated oven.
13
USING THE TOP OVEN

Shelf positions
There are 2 shelf positions which are
counted from the bottom of the oven
upwards so shelf position 1 is the lowest.
When cooking frozen or chilled food
use the highest possible shelf position
while allowing some clearance
between the food and the top element.
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing up. Position baking trays and
roasting tins on the middle of the
shelves and leave one clear shelf posi-
tion between shelves to allow for cir-
culation of heat.
When using the top oven
As part of the cooking process hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven(s). When opening the oven
door care should be taken to avoid
any possible 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.

Top oven baking guide
Cooking times
These times are based on cooking in a
preheated oven.
These cooking times are approximate
because the size and type of cooking
dish will influence time as well as per-
sonal preferences.
Shelf positions
As a general guide when cooking
frozen or chilled food use the highest
possible shelf position while allowing
some clearance between the food and
the top element. Follow the instructions
given on packaging.
Cooking temperatures
The temperature settings and time
given in the Baking Guides are based
on dishes made with block margarine.
If soft tub margarine is used it may be
necessary to reduce the temperature
setting. If a recipe gives a different
temperature setting to that shown in
the guide the recipe instruction should
be followed.
Because the top oven is more
compact it may be necessary to
reduce cooking temperatures specified
in recipes by up to 20˚C.
Use the baking guide as a reference
for determining which temperatures
to use.
Using the Top Oven

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the oven is used,
young children should be kept
away.
The main oven is a multi-function oven
and may be used as a conventional
oven or a fanned oven. It may also be
used as a grill or with one of the other
oven functions.
Manual operation
The programmer must be set to manual
operation before the main oven or grill
functions can be used. If A(Auto) is
on the programmer display return the
oven to manual operation by pressing
the plus and minus buttons simultane-
ously. Any programme which has been
set is cancelled.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even
browning 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
quality cookware. Poor quality trays
and tins may warp when heated
leading to uneven baking results.
To turn on the main oven
Step 1 - Select the function
Turn the selector control knob in either
direction until the function you require
is selected.
Step 2 - Set the main oven control
If you have selected an oven cooking
function then simply turn the main
oven control knob clockwise to the
required temperature - this brings on
the neon indicator light which will
stay on until the oven reaches the
required temperature.
If you have selected defrost do not
turn the thermostat control on.
To switch off the main oven return the
control knobs to the ‘off’ position.
Automatic operation
See ‘Programmer / Clock’ section.
16
USING THE MULTI-FUNCTION MAIN OVEN

Oven cooking
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the appliance is in
use - keep children away from
the vicinity of the oven.
Never put items directly on the base of
the oven or cover the oven base with
foil as this can cause the base element
to overheat.
Manual operation
Set the programmer to manual operation.
See ‘Programmer / Clock’ section.
Turn the selector control knob until the
symbol for the desired oven function is
selected.
Turn the main oven control knob to the
desired temperature.
The red thermostat indicator neon will
come on until the selected temperature
is reached then go off. It will cycle on
and off as the thermostat operates to
maintain the selected temperature.
To switch off the main oven return the
main oven control knob to the “off”
position.
Automatic operation
See ‘Programmer / Clock section.
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing up.
Position baking trays and roasting tins
on the middle of the shelves and leave
one clear shelf position between
shelves to allow for circulation of heat.
Preheating (conventional mode)
When using the conventional mode to
cook sensitive items such as scouffle’s
and Yorkshire puddings or when
cooking bread we recommend that
the oven is pre-heated until the neon
switches off for the first time. For any
other types of cooking a pre-heat is
not required.
Always use the fan oven setting for
preheating to save time and electricity.
After the oven has been preheated on
the fan oven setting turn the selector
control knob to the oven setting you
require.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
neon switches off for the first time;
this will take between 5 - 15 minutes
depending on the temperature selected.
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 possible 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.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan may operate when the
