IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please note the cooling fan fitted to this appliance is an integral part of its safety
and functionality.
When the appliance is installed care must be taken that the cooling fans perfor-
mance is not impeded by any objects coming into contact with it. (Installation
pipes, leads etc)
Care must also be taken that there is sufficient air flow at the rear of the appliance
for the cooling fan to run at its optimum efficiency. (Particularly Built In appliances)
See clearance dimensions in the installation section of the booklet.
During use the Appliance must never be disconnected from the Mains supply as
this will seriously affect the safety and performance of the appliance, particularly
in relation to surface temperatures becoming hot and gas operated parts not work-
ing efficiently.
The cooling fan is designed to run on after the control knob has been switched off
to keep the front of the appliance and the controls cool until the appliance has nat-
urally cooled itself.

We hope that the following information
will help you to familiarise yourself
with the features of the appliance, and
to use it successfully and safely.
Our policy is one of constant
development and improvement. Strict
accuracy of illustrations and specifications
is not guaranteed. Modification to
design and materials may be

Please read the instructions in this
handbook before using or installing
this appliance.
Your 1st Year Guarantee
To fulfil the conditions of your guarantee,
this appliance must be correctly
installed and operated, in accordance
with these instructions, and only be
used for normal domestic purposes.
Please note that the guarantee, and
Service availability, only apply to the
UK and Republic of Ireland.
Before using the appliance for
the first time, remove any protective
polythene film and wash the oven
shelves and furniture in hot soapy
water to remove their protective
covering of oil. Even so, when you
first switch on the oven or grill you
may notice a smell and some smoke.
This appliance is designed to fit into a
standard 600mm wide housing unit with
a minimum internal height of 580mm.

make sure that the installation is carried
out by a competent person.
Disconnection of electric appliances
should always be carried out by a
competent person.
Warning: This appliance must be
earthed.
Condensation
When hot and cold air meet,
condensation forms. The outer door is air
cooled and the inner door gets hot, so some
condensation might form; this is normal
and will disappear within 10 - 15 minutes.

Introduction

Cooling fan
The cooling fan helps to keep the
exterior cool during normal use.
When an element is operated, you
should hear the cooling fan switch on
automatically and be able to feel air
evacuating from the appliance vents
just below the fascia. In order to pro-
tect the appliance and adjacent cabi-
netry, the cooling fan may continue to
operate for a period of time after turn-
ing off the elements. This is normal.
If there is no such indication that the
fan is operating, the appliance will
require servicing. DO NOT USE THE
APPLIANCE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN SERVICED .
Switch the appliance off at the mains
and contact Customer Support.
Glass door panels
To meet the relevant standards of
Domestic cooking appliances, all the
glass panels on this appliance are
toughened to meet the fragmentation
requirements of BS 3193. This ensures
that, in the unlikely event that a panel
breaks, it does so into small fragments
to minimise the risk of injury.
Please take care when handling, using
or cleaning all glass panels as any
damage to the surfaces or edges may
result in the glass breaking without
warning or apparent cause at a later
date. Should any glass panel be
damaged, we strongly recommend
that it is replaced immediately.
To replace an oven light bulb (if
fitted)
Caution: Switch off the electricity
supply to the appliance, to avoid the
risk of electric shock.
Wait until the oven is cool, then
remove the oven shelves.
Remove the loose oven back - unscrew
the 4 securing screws (one at each
corner). Unscrew the lens cover (turn
anticlockwise). Unscrew the bulb and
replace. Replace lens cover, and
replace oven back.
Please note that the oven light bulb is
not covered by the guarantee.

Be Safe - Not Sorry

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used,
young children should be kept
away.
The grill is a fixed circuit grill. It can
be used for conventional grilling, or as
a fanned grill.
To switch on the grill
Turn the function selector control knob
to either the conventional grill
symbol, or the fanned grill symbol.
Turn the temperature selector control
knob clockwise to the desired grill
temperature setting.
To switch off the oven, return the
control knob to the “"” off position.
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 Grill

Conventional grill
The conventional grill can be used
with the door opened, or closed.
Thicker foods such as sausages and
chicken portions are suited to conven-
tional grilling.
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.
Fanned grilling may be faster than
conventional grilling, because air is
being circulated around the food, and
thin portions of food such as bacon or
fish fillets may not need turning.
The fanned grill is particularly suited to
thinner foods such as bacon, gammon,
fish fillets etc.
Grilling
The speed of grilling can also be con-
trolled by selecting a higher or lower
shelf position.
We recommend that the higher
temperature settings are used for
toasting and for cooking 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.
Position the grill pan under the centre
of the grill.
The grill pan trivet, inside the grill
pan, can be inverted to give a high or
low position, or it may be removed.

Using the Grill

When you are cooking, keep
children away from the vicinity
of the oven.
The oven is a fanned electric oven.
To switch on the oven
Turn the function selector control knob
to the fan oven symbol.
Turn the temperature selector control
knob clockwise to the desired
temperature setting.
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 control knob to
the “"” off position.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled food, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges, otherwise preheating is not
necessary as a fan oven warms up
quickly.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time;
this will take between 5 - 15 minutes,
depending on the temperature selected.
Aluminium foil
Use aluminium foil only to cover food
or cooking dishes. Do not foil to cover
the shelves or oven base, as this
creates a fire hazard.
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.
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
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.

Using the Oven

Cooking with a fan oven
If you are used to cooking with a
conventional oven you will find a
number of differences to cooking with
a fan oven which will require a
different approach:
There are no zones of heat in a fan
oven, the convection fan at the back of
the oven ensures an even temperature
throughout the oven; this makes it ideal
for batch baking - eg; when planning
a party or stocking the freezer, as all
the items will be cooked within the
same length of time.
Cooking times will generally be shorter
by between 5 - 10 minutes per hour,
than those given in recipe books for
conventional cooking.
We recommend preheating the oven
for frozen or chilled food and also for
soufflés, batter mixtures & yeast mixtures.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time; this
will take between 5 - 15 minutes
depending on the temperature selected.
There is no flavour transference in a
fan oven, which means you can cook
strong smelling foods such as fish at
the same time as mild foods - eg; milk
puddings.
The fan oven may cook foods at a
lower temperature (between 10˚C and
20˚C lower) than a conventional oven,
so conventional recipe temperature
may have to be reduced.
To help the air circulate freely;
!Position the shelves evenly within
the oven and maintain a clearance
from the oven roof and base.
!If more than one cooking dish or
baking tray is to be used on a shelf
leave a gap of at least 25mm / 1”
between the items themselves and
the oven interior.
!Allow enough space between
shelves for food that will rise
during cooking.
!Do not place items on the oven
base as this will prevent air from
circulating freely.
