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.

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.

The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so
that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a
heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of
the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven
shelf so that the element is directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should
be approx. 100mm (4”) from the front of the shelf.
Important
Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan, when the pan is being used for
oven cooking.
Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the oven.
Shelf Positioning
There should always be at least 25mm (1 inch) between the top of the food and
the grill element.
DO NOT PLACE FOOD/UTENSILS DIRECTLY ON THE OVEN FLOOR

Step 1 Place the shelf in the correct position (see Oven Temperature Charts).
Step 2 Select the required cooking temperature (100–220˚C) using control (B)
(see Top Oven Temperature Charts).
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 Place the food centrally on the shelf below the element ensuring the oven door
is closed.
Plate Warming
Place the plates/dishes on shelf position 1 from the base of the top oven, and turn top
oven temperature control (B) to 100˚C for 10-15 minutes.
Never use the grill setting control (A) when warming plates.

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.
Main Oven Shelf Positions for Fan Oven
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of
heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.
Note: Maximum of 2 shelves in the main oven.
Food or utensils should NEVER be placed directly on the floor of the oven for
cooking.
Important:
Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan, when the pan is being used for
oven cooking.
Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the oven.
Main oven Utensils
Do not use: Meat pans larger than - 375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)
Baking Trays larger than - 325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)
Temperature and Time
When two 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.
Main Fan Oven Operation
Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual.
Step 2 Place the shelf/shelves in the correct position (see Main Oven Temperature
Charts.
Step 3 Place the food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Step 4 Select the required cooking temperature (90˚ to 230˚C) by turning control (C)
clockwise. The pilot light will immediately come on, and will 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.
Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use, as the
surfaces get extremely hot .
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.
Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their off (●)
position. At the end of the 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.

FAN ONLY SETTING
DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a refrigerator
(allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per lb.).
Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.
However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non-heating
fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.
OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:
Place food in the oven and close the oven door.
Turn the Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to the setting.
This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on type
and size of the food.
NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.
Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are cream/cream cakes,
butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches, pastries, biscuits,
bread, croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.
If fish, meat and poultry are to be defrosted using the fan only setting, where possible it
is recommended that the food should be small & thin.
The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to
the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even defrosting.
Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up to a
maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).
It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately after
defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after defrosting.
LIGHT ONLY SETTING
When the Multifunction Control (D) is turned clockwise to the setting, the
main oven light only will illuminate.
It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene
to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.
