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 ovens to maximum temperature 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.

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
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The Top Oven and Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. When the timer
control has been set for one oven, it is possible to use the other oven only during the same
automatic cooking programme.
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 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 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.
8
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens
can be used.
NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook automatically because
the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause
bacterial growth in food.

KNOW YOUR TIMER
CLOCKFACE
The timer incorporates a 24 hour clock.
Ensure the correct time of day is always set, before using your cooker.
SYMBOLS
A ‘bell’ symbol will light up when you select a Minute Minder Period and will
remain lit for the period set.
At the end of the Minute Minder Period, the timer will emit an audible tone and
the ‘bell’ symbol will disappear.
The ‘cookpot’ symbol will light up either:–
– When the timer is in manual mode, or
– During the actual Cook Period.
‘AUTO’ will light up:–
– When the timer is first turned on it will flash. It will go out when a time of day
is set or when the timer is set to manual.
The ‘AUTO’ symbol will flash at the end of an Auto Cooking programme to indi-
cate that the programme has finished.
(When the ‘AUTO’ symbol is flashing, to return the oven to Manual operation,
turn the oven controls off, ensure that the correct time of day is set, and press
the “Manual” button – The ‘AUTO’ symbol will go out).
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.
Notes:
- When setting an Auto Cooking programme you will need to set the oven
control(s) to the required temperature(s) when you set the timer.
