The Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer.
1. Select foods which require the same cooking time and temperature.
2. To ensure food does not cool down and does not require reheating
set the end time so that the food is ready when you require it.
3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in
the oven.
4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep is as cool
as possible.
5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto
cooking, keep the delay start time to a minimum,.
6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it
could cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in food.
7. We advise that dishes containing left-over, cooked poultry or meat eg.
Shepherd’s Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a
time delay period.
8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent
bacterial growth in food.
9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay
period so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
10. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or
tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to
placing food in the oven.
11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent
boiling over.
12. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to
prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a
good seal.
13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before
serving.
14. Only reheat food once.

Note: To stop fat splashing onto the grill mesh, it is important to use the anti-splash tray as
shown in the grilling chart. Always clean the grill pan, anti-splash tray and food grid after
each use.

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. Creda have developed a Solarplus
high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it
takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat
before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be
used directly from cold without any pre-heat.
However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for
about 1 minute.
During use the mesh may become soiled. Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh
is not distorted – do not store the grill pan handle on the food grid when the shelf is in
the highest position.
Using the Top Oven for Solarplus Grilling
16
Note: You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops
you from touching live parts.
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could
damage the element wire, break the glass tubes or if the grill is on, cause electric
shock.
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.
2. Ensure that the Easy Glide™ Shelf is located in the correct
position.
3. Preheat the grill, if necessary, with the Easy Glide™ Shelf pulled
out (Fig 1).
4. Locate the grill pan in the Easy Glide™ Shelf (see Fig 2)and push
back under the element.
5. The grill pan should be withdrawn, always using the grill pan
handle, to the stop position to turn or remove cooked food.
(There is no need to remove the grill pan from the Easy Glide™
Shelf).
6. NEVER line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause
overheating of fat in the grill pan.
NOTE: To stop fat splashing onto the grill element mesh, it is
important to use the anti-splash tray. Always clean the grill pan
anti-splash tray and food grid after each use.

Grilling Procedure
NOTE: Preheat the grill if, necessary, with the Easy Glide™ Shelf pulled out (Fig.1)
Ensure that the Easy Glide™ Shelf is in the correct position.
Leave the control at 6 for toast, and for fast cooking of foods.
For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower setting after the
initial sealing on both sides at 6. The thicker the food, the lower the control should be set.
DO NOT line the grill pan with aluminium foil, as this increases the amount of fat spitting
which can cause a fire.
After use always return both controls to their OFF (0) position.

Step 1 Ensure that the Timer is set to manual.
Step 2 Turn knob (B) clockwise to select grill function setting:
Set to: For Half Grill (Left hand side only).
For Full Grill.
Step 3 Turn knob (A) anti-clockwise to select the Grill Setting (1–6). (1=Low, 6=High).

ENSURE SHELVES ARE FITTED THE CORRECT WAY UP
Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to
increase or decrease cooking times.
WARNING: Items stored in the top oven will get hot when the main oven is in use.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the top oven is in use as the
surfaces get extremely hot.
19
The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is
designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this
is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the
oven. To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that cooking
utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf so that the element is
directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should be approx.
100mm (4”) from the front of the shelf.
Easy Glide™ Shelf
Important:
Shelf Positioning
The Easy Glide™ Shelf, in conjunction with the grill pan supplied can be
used for cooking in the oven(s), ie. meat, poultry etc. also for roasting
vegetables. Place the Easy Glide™ Shelf in the oven on the same runner
position as stated in the meat cooking charts.
Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan when the pan is
being used for oven cooking.
Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the
oven, as the Easy Glide™ Shelf and the grill pan will be hot.
Never remove the Easy Glide™ Shelf from the oven with the grill pan and
