This appliance conforms to the following EEC Directives:
Electromagnetic Compatibility Low Voltage Equipment
89/336/EEC 73/23/EEC
92/31/EEC 93/68/EEC
93/68/EEC
Your new appliance 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 or 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 temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture
absorbed by the insulation.
When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted,
this will cease after a 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.
(d) Has been correctly installed.

Always
●Always make sure you remove all packaging and literature from inside the oven
and grill compartments before switching on for the first time.
●Always make sure you understand the controls prior to using the appliance.
●Always keep children away from the appliance when in use as the surfaces will
get extremely hot during and after cooking.
●Always make sure all controls are turned off when you have finished cooking
and when not in use.
●Always stand back when opening an oven door to allow any build up of steam or
heat to disperse.
●Always use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items from the
oven/grill.
●Always take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the controls.
●Always turn off the electricity supply at the wall switch before cleaning and
allow the appliance to cool.
●Always make sure the shelves are in the correct position before switching on the
oven.
●Always keep the oven and grill doors closed when the appliance is not in use.
●Always take care when removing utensils from the top oven when the main oven
is in use as the contents may be hot.
●Always keep the appliance clean as a build up of grease or fat from cooking can
cause a fire.
●Always follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to prevent the
possibility of bacterial growth.
●Always keep ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
●Always refer servicing to a qualified appliance service engineer.
●During use the oven becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching

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.

IMPORTANT
Before using your oven in the ordinary way, ALWAYS make sure that the timer has been
set to MANUAL operation. Unless this is done, the main oven cannot heat up.
Before seeking assistance, make sure this is done (refer to oven timer operation).
MULTIFUNCTION SELECTOR
Rotate the control knob in either direction to the required function. Many of the
functions will also require the main oven thermostat to be set before the oven will heat
up.
MAIN OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL
This is used in addition to the multifunction selector. This is used for the functions: fan
oven, fan grill, half grill and full grill and convection oven.
Turn the control clockwise to set the oven thermostat to the required temperature.
If the timer is set correctly and the selector switch set to a suitable function an indicator
light will illuminate (Fan Oven, Convection Oven and Fan Grilling modes only). This will
remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then cycle on
and off as the thermostat maintains control of the oven temperature.
TOP OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Turn the control clockwise to set the top oven thermostat to the required temperature.
An indicator light will illuminate. This will remain on until the oven reaches the required
temperature. This light will then cycle on and off as the thermostat maintains control of

Oven Timer Operation
11
The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the automatic timer.
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.
Automatic Cooking
Hints on
Automatic
Cooking
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the

NEVER operate the grill or top oven when the main oven is set
to cook automatically because the oven cavity can become
warm and this may cause bacterial growth in food.

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:–

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:

NOTE: - Preheat the grill if indicated on grill chart.
- The grill pan must be placed on the correct shelf and positioned centrally
under the grill element.
- Leave the control at MAX 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 MAX. The thicker the food, the
lower the control should be set.
