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

INTRODUCTION

Cooling fan
When the appliance is switched on,
you may hear the cooling fan come
on. This keeps the exterior of the
appliance cool during cooking, and
will continue to operate to cool the
appliance for about 10 minutes after
the last control has been switched off.
When hot and cold air meet,
condensation forms. The outer door
is cooler than the inner door, so
some condensation might form, this
is normal, and will disappear within
10 - 15 minutes.
Electrical connection
Please refer to installation instructions
for electrical connection.
In your own interest, and that of safety,
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.
In the event of a power cut:
1. Switch off the electricity supply to
the appliance at the fused spur.
2. When the power returns, see the
‘Programmer / Clock’ section to
‘Set the time of day’.
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 turn on the oven or grill you may
notice a smell and some smoke.
Manual operation
Note: The appliance must be set for
manual operation before the oven can
be used manually.
If ‘Auto’ is showing on the programmer
display, you can cancel the ‘Auto’
(ie; re-set to manual) by pressing the
cook time and ready time buttons
simultaneously.
Glass 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 BS3193. 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.

OVEN & GRILL FUNCTIONS

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the oven is used,
young children should be kept
away.
The 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 cook time and ready time
buttons simultaneously. Any programme
which has been set is cancelled.
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
in the middle of the shelves, and leave
one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation.
Using the oven
Step 1 - Select the function
Turn the selector control knob in either
direction, to the function you require.
Step 2 - Set the oven temperature
control
If you have selected an oven cooking
function, then simply turn the 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.
To switch off the oven, return the
control knob to the “l” off position.
Automatic operation
See ‘Programmer / Clock’ section.

MULTI-FUNCTION CONTROLS

Grilling
The speed of grilling can also 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.
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.
Conventional Grill
The door must be open when the
conventional grill function is used -
either fully open or using the door stop
position - open the door about 75mm
and it will hold open.
If the grill door is closed whilst the grill
is in use, the grill will cycle on and off
at a high temperature, causing the grill
door to become hot.
When using the door stop position for
grilling, you can remove the grill pan
handle by sliding it to the recess.
(i) Turn the (left) selector control knob
to the conventional grill setting.
(ii) Turn the oven temperature control
knob to your desired temperature
setting.
Fanned grill
The door must be closed when the
fanned grill is used.
When opening the door, take to avoid
skin contact with any steam which may
escape from the cooking.
(i) Turn the (left) selector control knob
to the fan grill setting.
(ii) Turn the oven temperature control
knob to your desired temperature
setting.
When the grill is selected, only the
inner element will come on.
Fanned grilling may be faster than
conventional grilling, because air is
being circulated around the food, and
this portions of food, such as bacon or
fish fillets may not need turning.

USING THE GRILL

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used,
young children should be kept
away.
The programmer must be set to
manual before the oven will operate.
See ‘Programmer / Clock’ section.
Using the grill
Turn the selector control knob to either
the conventional grill symbol, or the
fanned grill symbol.
Turn the oven temperarture control
knob clockwise to the desired temper-
ature.
To switch off the oven, return the
control knob to the “l” off position.
Preheating
For best results, preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes.
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.
8
USING THE GRILL

Oven cooking
When you are cooking, 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.
Caution: The top oven element gets
extremely hot when in use, so please
take extra care to avoid touching it.
Manual operation
Set the programmer to manual operation.
See ‘Programmer / Clock’ section.
Turn the selector control knob to your
desired oven function.
Turn the main oven control knob to the
desired temperature.
The red thermostat indicator neon will
come on and off 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 the main oven, return the
main oven control knob to the “l” off
position.
Automatic operation
See ‘Programmer / Clock section.
There is also a section on automatic
cooking in the Cooking Guide.
Preheating
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.
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
neon switches off for the first time; this
will take between 5 - 15 minutes,
depending on the temperature selected.
To help the air to 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 inch 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.

Programmer / Clock
Semi-automatic cooking
There are two types of semi automatic
cooking available on this appliance.
The oven must be switched on, and in
use to use either of these functions
successfully.
The Duration method allows you to set
the oven for a specific length of time.
If a dish needed 2 hours to cook, then
it would be possible for you to set the
oven to turn off 2 hours later. This
allows you to be sure that your food
will be cooked for a set length of time
and no longer.
The End Time method allows you to
enter a specific time when you would
like the oven to switch off. If you wish
to leave the oven unattended, then it
offers peace of mind that the oven will
have turned itself off at the set time.
To cancel the semi automatic pro-
grams, press both the Plus and Minus
buttons together. This can be done at
any time during the cooking process.
Then if necessary, re program.
For the instructions on how to use both
of these functions, please see the fol-
lowing page.
Fully automatic cooking
This function incorporates both a dura-
tion and an end time and is meant to be
used when you wish to delay the start
time.
We recommend that the first few times
this function is used you are in the
house, this will familiarise you with your
oven and prevents food from being over
cooked or under cooked.
Care must be taken when selecting
foods for this function, it is not recom-
mended for certain food items which
may spoil, or are sensitive to being left.
It is also advisable to set the end time to
be as close to your return as possible to
prevent food being left standing.

Automatic cooking
These notes below are to help you with
using the automatic cooking facility.
Please make sure that you read them
carefully before you start using the
automatic functions.
Do
• Familiarise yourself with the use of
the programmer.
• Select foods which are as fresh as
possible, and as cold as possible -
ie; preferably straight from the
refrigerator.
• Choose foods which are suitable
for cooking from a cold start, as
some dishes will be affected by
being left uncooked, at room tem-
perature, perhaps for several
hours, especially when the weath-
er is hot.
• Make sure that meat, poultry and
uncooked food are thoroughly
thawed before placing them in the
oven.
• Cover dishes with lids or foil, as
they may be left standing in the
oven for some time before cook-
ing.
Do not
• Never place warm food in the
oven for delayed cooking - eg;
stews prepared by frying meat first
must be thoroughly cooled before
placing in the oven.
• Do not cook dishes containing left
over cooked meat or poultry, or
pastry dishes with wet fillings,
as they are not suitable for auto-
matic cooking.
• Do not put food items intended for
delayed cooking into a warm oven
- allow the oven to cool before set-
ting for delayed cooking.
• Do not over-fill dishes containing
liquids, as they might boil over.
• Never leave food in the oven to
cool slowly after cooking, serve
immediately or refrigerate.
Automatic cooking - hints

Caution: Any cleaning agent
used incorrectly may damage
the appliance.
Always let the oven cool before
cleaning.
Some cooking operations generate
considerable amount of grease, this
combined with spillage can become a
hazard if allowed to accumulate on
the oven through lack of cleaning. In
extreme cases this may amount to
misuse of the appliance and could
invalidate your guarantee.
It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.
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.
All parts of the appliance can be
safely cleaned with a cloth wrung out
in hot soapy water.
Vitreous enamel parts
GRILL PAN,OVEN FLOOR
Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”.
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.
Chrome plated parts
OVEN SHELVES &OVEN SHELF RUNNERS,
GRILL PAN TRIVET
Do not use abrasives or polishes, use a
moist soap pad - eg; “Brillo”. These items
may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Note: Oven shelf runners can be
removed for cleaning. Grasp the
runners, and slide out of the hanging
holes as shown.
Easy care surfaces
OVEN SIDES AND BACK
We recommend that the appliance is
cleaned after open roasting, and also
after roasting at temperatures higher
thatn 200˚C, to help pervent a build
up of fats. Use of a trivet in a roasting
tin when roasting will help reduce fat
splashing.
Caution: Most types of cleaning
agent will damage these surfaces.
Only use a few drops of washing up
liquid in hot water. Wipe the surfaces
with a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy
water - if larger splashes of fat do not
readily disappear, scrub the area with
a nylon brush or nylon pan scourer
and hot soapy water. Rinse well and
heat the oven to dry the surfaces.
