OVEN TIMER OPERATION
Note: Timer must be set to 'Time of Day' and 'Manual' before the oven can be used.
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The Main Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer.
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.

Temperatures
The recommended temperatures given are for conventional and fan ovens. When using
a fan oven it will be necessary to reduce the cooking time by 10 minutes per hour and
lower the temperature by up to 20°C. Also, in the majority of cases, it is not necessary
to pre-heat the oven. However, pre-heating is recommended when cooking items such
as Yorkshire puddings, whisked sponges and bread. Your experience with the cooker
will enable you to select the cooking time and temperature best suited for your recipe.
Condensation
Condensation may become evident on the inner door and water may drip through the
vent. This is normal when heat and moisture are present and may be a result of any of
the following:
1. Kitchen temperature and ventilation.
2. The moisture content of the food eg. meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding,
roasting meat, etc.
3. The quantity of the food being cooked at any one time.

The Working of the Heating Zones
Heating only occurs within the marked circular cooking zones. The zones heat up and
cool down quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive foods. Each heating
zone is equipped with a thermal limiter which is a safety cut-out which prevents the
ceramic glass from overheating. After several minutes at full power without a pan on
the heating zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating elements off and on
automatically to avoid any damage to the ceramic glass.
Choice of Saucepans
It is essential that the saucepan's you use on the ceramic hob are suitable.
ALWAYS USE:
•Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.
•saucepan's manufactured from aluminium (enamelled or machined) or stainless
steel.
•Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan must cover the heating zone
completely.
•saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to reduce cooking time and energy use.
NEVER USE:
•Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as these will extend cooking times, waste
electricity and cause damaging, local hotspots on the glass surface.
•Pans with ridged or recessed bases.
•Pans with damaged or rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.
•Glass or glass ceramic utensils.

IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached
to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil
must not be left unattendedmust not be left unattended
must not be left unattendedmust not be left unattended
must not be left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in close proximity
to the patterned cooking areas.
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers
the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat.
Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added too quickly.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob.
Safety requirements for deep fat frying
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:
1. Switch OffOff
OffOff
Off the electricity supply.
NEVERNEVER

NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and injuries are caused almost invariably
by picking up the burning pan and rushing outside with it.
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
NEVERNEVER
NEVERNEVER
NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan fire, as the force of the extinguisher
is likely to tip the pan over.
NEVERNEVER
NEVERNEVER
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that you FACE and ARMS are WELL
PROTECTED from the flames to save you from becoming hurt.
3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60
MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade immediately.

HIGH SPEED GRILL
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use - children should be
kept away.
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The high speed grill 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 high speed grill can be used from cold
without any pre-heat. However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by
preheating the grill for about 1 minute.
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 or break the element tubes OR if the grill is on cause an electric shock.
During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill is
still on. Turn the cooker off at the control unit and wait until it has cooled down before
cleaning.
Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted - DO NOT store the grill
pan handle on the grill pan grid when the rod shelf is in the top runner position.
There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and one on the right. You can choose
to have both sides on or just the left side on. Turning the control knob clockwise, will
switch both sides on. Turning it anticlockwise, will only switch the left side on. The
numbers which are displayed indicate the heat setting. Number 4 is the hottest and
number 1 the coolest.
GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN
DOOR CLOSED - This will cause overheating.
The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the '0' Off
position.
Grilling procedure
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.
2. Position rod shelf as recommended in the chart (next page) for food being cooked.
3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned centrally under the
element.
4. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause overheating of fat in
the grill pan.
