INTRODUCTION
Your new cooker is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is
only applicable if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the
installation instructions detailed in this booklet.
To help make best use of your cooking equipment,
please read this booklet carefully.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not
be accepted for use in any other installation.
To help remove the 'new' smell, heat up the empty oven(s) to maximum for a
minimum of two to three hours keeping the oven doors closed. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that
persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that
any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased.
This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and also
any moisture absorbed by the insulation.
Note: When the cooker is first used, an odour may be emitted - this will cease
after a short period of use
* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:
(a) Has been used solely in accordance with the Users Instruction Book.
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on
the rating plate attached to this equipment.
(c) Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or
repaired by any person other than the authorised employee or agent.

SAFETY ADVICE
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE 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 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.
Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of
the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use water to extinguish
oil or fat fires.

OVEN TIMER OPERATION (Cordialle)
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer (Cordialle Only).
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING
1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.
2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so
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 it as cool as
possible.
5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic
cooking, keep the delay 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 the food.
7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a 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.
9
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the oven
can be used. (Cordialle Only)

Here you can set a time period of up to 23 hours 59 minutes, that will
count down. When it reaches zero, the timer will emit an audible tone.
For Example: If you set 20 minutes, the audible tone will occur 20
minutes later.
Cook Period is the actual length of time for which, the timer will switch
the oven(s) on as part of an “Auto Cooking” programme.
(e.g. If you set 2 hours, the food will be cooked for 2 hours).
The time of day at which you want an “Auto Cooking” programme to end.
For Example: If you set a “Cook Period” for 2 hours, and “End Time” of
11:00. The timer will switch the oven(s) on at 9:00 and turn the oven(s) off
at 11:00. You will hear a audible tone at 11:00, to indicate that the Auto
Cooking Programme has finished.

Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a
lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary.
For guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times”, see
“Oven Temperature Charts” later in book.
OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution
of heat in the oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven for
cooking as air circulation is restricted.
OVEN UTENSILS
Do not use: Meat pans larger than 375mm x 300mm (15” x 12”)
Baking Trays larger than 325mm x 250mm (13” x10”)
An additional oven shelf can be purchased from your oven supplier if a third one
is required for batch baking. Never use more than three shelves in the oven as
air circulation will be seriously restricted.
TEMPERATURE & TIME
If three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary
to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes,
to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the
larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.
USING THE OVEN FOR FAN COOKING
18
NOTE: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be necessary
to increase or decrease cooking times.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the oven is in use as the
surfaces get extremely hot.
Fan
Oven

FAN OVEN OPERATION
Step 1 Ensure oven timer is set to manual (Cordialle only).
Ensure that the oven shelf is in the correct position.
Place food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Turn knob A clockwise to Fan Oven function.
Step 2 Turn knob (B) clockwise and select the required cooking temperature
(70˚C to 230˚C). The pilot light (●) will immediately come on, and remain
on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then
automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat
maintains the correct temperature.
Step 3 After use turn both controls to their Off (O) position.
NOTE: At the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam
when the door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a
perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

“SLOW” SETTING
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short
periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be
damaged in a hot oven.
ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE:
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.
The kitchen stays cooler.
OPERATION:
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.
2. Turn knob A to Fan Oven function.
Turn knob B to (slow cooking temperature).
STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container
and cool as soon as possible.
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.
4. Only re-heat food once.
POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room
for air to circulate.
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however,
it they are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may
be noticed.
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on
the slow setting.
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170oC for 30 minutes
before wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air
circulation) before turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately.
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking
with a meat thermometer before serving.
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend
placing frozen food in the oven to cook.
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the
top with foil to prevent loss of moisture.
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook
properly.
10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then
boiled for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.
12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to
avoid overcooking.
