To help you make the best use of your cooker,
PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET CAREFULLY.
Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting
service.
The guarantee is only applicable if the cooker has
been installed in accordance with the Installation
Instructions.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use
and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any
other installation.
When first using the cooker 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 and also any moisture absorbed by
the insulation.
Introduction
When the cooker is first used an odour may be
emitted. This will cease after a period of use.
Our policy is one of continual improvement in design
and development, therefore strict accuracy of
illustrations and descriptions cannot be guaranteed.

Hotplate
Use of Hotplates
Note:
Under no circumstances should the hob be used
with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.
The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power
levels. Each control can be used to select one of six
temperature settings from a minimum at position 1
to a maximum at position 6.
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan
as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of
the hotplate.
CONTROL SETTINGS GUIDE
This is provided only as a guide – settings also
depend on the type of pan used and the quality of
food.
Safety requirements for deep fat frying
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely
cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.
Knob Position Type of food
1 To melt butter, chocolate, etc.
1 or 2 To heat food gently.
To keep small amounts of water simmering.
To heat sauces, containing egg yolks and butter.
To simmer: stews, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit.
3 To heat solid and liquid foods.
eep water boiling.
Thaw frozen vegetables.
Make 2-3 egg omelettes.
4 or 5 To cook foods, just above simmering.
To maintain 'rolling' boil for preserve making.
5 or 6 To seal meat and fry fish.
6 Frying potatoes.
Bringing water to the boil.
Deep fat frying.
Dissolve sugar for preserve making.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the
heating or cooking period.
4. Never 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 to 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.
Ceramic Hob
CAUTION: IF AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE
SURFACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE
APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE SUPPLY.
Under no circumstances should the hob be used
with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface as
damage can occur.
The following boiling plates are located beneath the
decorative circular patterned cooking areas:-

The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either
direction.
Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the
heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control
to a lower setting according to the size of the
saucepan and the amount of liquid.
Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the
panel when cooking is finished and before serving
food. It is inadvisable at any time to leave a heating
element switched on without a pan in position as this
wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from
aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect
elements against over-heating, safety cut-outs have
been incorporated with each element. After several
minutes with the control at setting 6 the safety cut-
out switches the element OffOff

Use good quality flat-based
cookware on all electric heat
sources.
Use gauze, metal pan
diffusers, asbestos mats and
stands e.g. Wok stands - they
can cause overheating.
Always ensure pans have
clean, dry bases before
use.
Use utensils with skirts or
rims e.g. buckets and some
kettles.
Ensure pans match size of
heating area.
Use badly dented or distorted
pans.
Remember good quality pans
retain heat well, so generally
only a low or medium heat is
necessary.
Leave an element switched
on when not cooking.
Ensure pan handles are
positioned safely and away
from heat sources.
Cook food directly on the
ceramic glass.
Always lift pans, do not drag. Drag or slide utensils, along
the hob surface.
Always use pan lids except
when frying.
Deal with spillages

Do not use use lightweight saucepans with plain thin
copper bases on ceramic or halogen hot plates.
Note:Note:
Note:Note:
Note: All copper pans are excellent conductors of
heat, and are hard wearing and strong, but need
quite a lot of care. They can be very heavy and do
not usually have completely flat bases. The interiors
are usually lined with a different material such as tin.
A stainless steel pan with a sandwich base of
aluminium and stainless steel is an excellent
conductor of heat and is suitable for use on ceramic
and halogen hobs, providing they are used in
accordance with the saucepans manufacturers’
recommendations.
Stainless steel pans with a sandwich base of
aluminium and copper are excellent conductors of
heat. If using stainless steel saucepans with
aluminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic
and halogen hobs, the use of these pans must be in
accordance with the saucepan manufacturers’
recommendations.
Extra care should be taken to ensure the base of the
pan and the hob is cleaned, and the hob
conditioned, after each and every use, when using
this type of saucepan.
If these recommendations are not followed, the
result will be a build up of small copper deposits on
the surface of your hob which, if not cleaned after
each use, will result in permanent marking of your
hob.

A switch operated by the door changes the heating
element configuration between grill and oven
operation. When the door is open, the top inner
element is activated for intense downward heat;
when the door is closed, the top outer and lower
elements are activated to provide even oven
heating.
To operate the grill proceed as follows:To operate the grill proceed as follows:

Fixing the Grill Pan Handle
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle
securely before use:
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external
‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits
exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2) and
holds the pan from the bottom.
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into
the grill pan will make the collection of grease
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of
smoke.
The food to be cooked should be placed on the grill
pan/grill pan food support.
Place the grill pan on the runners and push back to
the stop position when the grill pan is correctly
positioned beneath the grill element.
Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the grill
compartment will be heated when the oven is in use.

charts. The indicator light will immediately come on
andwill thenautomatically gooff andon during
cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct
temperature.

benecessary toincrease ordecrease temperatures
by10°C.
Theoven isfitted withtwo rodshelves.The ovenis
heatedby twotubular sheathedelements located
underthe floorof theovenand onthe ovenroof,inside

cookingperiod theremay bea momentarypuff of
steamwhen theoven dooris opened.This will
disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal
characteristicof anoven witha gooddoor seal.
Oven Positions
The correct positioning of food is indicated in the
temperaturecharts.
To preparemeat andpoultryfor roastingin your
conventionaloven.
(a)Wipe the joint, dry well with a clean cloth, kitchen
tissue etc. and weigh it. Meat which has been
stored in a refrigerator should be allowed to come
to room temperature for approximately 30 minutes
before cook ing, and frozen meat or poultry must
be completely defrosted before placing in the
oven.
(b)The weight of any stuffing used should be added
to the oven ready weight of the meat / poultry
before calculating the cooking time.
(c)Place the joint in the meat pan supplied with your
cooker. Small joints weighing less than 1.75kg
(31/2 lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat
pan/tin - or they may be ‘pot roasted’ - a small
joint in a large meat pan causes unnecessary
oven splashing and evaporation of meat juices.
(d)Additional fat should not be added, except for
veal, very lean meat or poultry which can either be
‘larded’ with fat bacon or brushed veryvery
veryvery
very
sparinglysparingly
sparinglysparingly
sparingly with cooking oil or melted fat.
(e)Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted
lightly with seasoned flour to give a crisp outer
surface. The skin of duck and goose should be
pricked to release excess fat during cooking, and
the rind of pork should be scored, brushed lightly
with oil, and rubbed with salt, to give crisp
crackling.
(f) Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed
with cooking oil or melted fat.
(g)It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an
electric oven and stock or liquid should not be
added to the meat pan since this only causes
unnecessary soiling, steam and condensation.
Foroptimum cookingperformance, theremust be
clearancebetween meatpanand ovensides. The
meat pan must be placed lengthways in the oven to
allowfor aircirculation.
Times and Temperatures for Roasting
The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast it
too quickly, at too high a temperature. Best results
are obtained when roasting is carried out at a low
temperature.When alower temperatureis used,the
joint loses less weight, is more tender (too high a
temperaturecauses meat tobe toughand dry)and
thesplashing of fatonto theoven interioris reduced to
a minimum. When a complete meal is being cooked
in the oven, cooking time may need to be increased
andtemperature mayneed tobe raisedfor
approximately the last 30 minutes of the cooking
period(for instancewhencooking Yorkshirepudding
toserve withroast beef).The suggestedtimes and
temperatures should be used as a guide, but may

1 Remember it is important to increase the cooking time by one third.
2 Do not allow the foil to touch the sides of the oven.
3 Do not cover the oven interior with foil.
4 Do not cover the oven shelves with foil.
The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into
the thickest part of a joint, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat thermometer will
indicate when the required internal temp has been reached.

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.
Inexpensivejoints ofmeatare tenderised.
Fullyloading theoven canbe economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up
to 2 hours.
Operation:
1. Placethe preparedfood inthe mainoven and
ensure the door is fully closed.
2.Select ‘S’(Slow CookingTemperature) byturning
theMain OvenControl clockwiseensuringthe oven

for “SLOW” cooking:
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into
theoven ensuringenough roomforair tocirculate.
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a
minimumof 6hours, however,if they arecooked for1
-2hours longerthendeterioration intheir appearance
may be noticed.
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 Ib) or
poultryover 2.0kg(4lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry
arestuffed beforecooking onthe slowsetting.
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or
poultryat 170°Cfor 30minutesbefore wrappingin foil
and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air
circulation)before turningthe controlto theslow
