results, we recommend that you preheat
the single grill for 5 minutes.
push the grill pan towards the back of the
shelf, to position it under the grill.
Turn the temperature knob to the MAX
position or by selecting a higher or lower
shelf position. For toast-ing, and for
grilling foods such as bacon, sausages or
steaks, use a higher shelf position. For
thicker foods such as chops or chicken
joint pieces, use a middle to low shelf

USING THE TOP OVEN - ELECTRIC (if tted)
When you are cooking keep children
away from the vicinity of the oven.
Caution: The top element gets
extremely hot when in use, so
take extra care to avoid touch-
ing it.
The top oven is a conventional oven.
Note:Thetopovenisnotcontrolled
bytheprogrammer(iffitted).
To turn on the top oven
Turn the temperature control knob until
the required temperature is selected.
The red thermostat indicator will come on
until the selected temperature is reached,
and then go off; it will turn on and off
periodically as the thermostat operates to
maintain the selected temperature.
To switch off, return the top oven control
knob to the off position.
Important: Never put items directly on
the base of the oven, or cover the oven
base with foil, as this may cause the ele-
ment to overheat. Always position items
on the shelf.
The cooling fan
When the top oven is switched on, you
will hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of the
appliance cool during cooking.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when cook-
ing frozen or chilled foods, and we rec-
ommend preheating for yeast mixtures,
batters,soufflés,andwhiskedsponges.
preheat the oven until the indicator light
switchesoffforthersttime,thiswill
take up to 15 minutes depending on the
temperature selected.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the following guide may
need to be extended, as they are based
on a preheated oven.
Shelf positions
There are 3 shelf positions which are
counted from the bottom of the oven up-
wards, so shelf position 1 is the lowest.
When cooking frozen or chilled food, use
the highest possible shelf position, while
allowing some clearance between the
food and the top element.
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the up-stand at the rear of the oven and
facing up. position baking trays and roast-
ing tins on the middle of the shelves, and
leave one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.
When using the top oven
Whenopeningtheovendoor,care should
be taken to avoid any possible contact
with potentially hot air, since this may
cause discomfort to people with sensitive
skin. We recommend that you hold the
underneath of the oven door handle.

Aluminium foil
Use foil only to cover food or cooking
dishes, using foil to cover the shelves or
ovenbasecreatesafi ehazard.
Cooking with a fanned oven
As this is a high efciency oven,
you may notice the emission of
steam from the oven when the door
is opened. Please take care when
opening the door.
If you are used to cooking with a conven-
tionalovenyouwillfin anumberofdif
-
ferences to cooking with a fan oven which
willrequireadifferentapproach:
There are no zones of heat in a fan oven
as the convection fan at the back of
the oven ensures an even temperature
throughout the oven.
This makes it ideal for batch baking - eg;
when planning a party as all the items will
be cooked within the same length of time.
Foods are cooked at a lower temperature
than a conventional oven, so conven-
tional recipe temperature may have to be
reduced. please refer to the conversion
chart.
preheating is generally not necessary as a
fan oven warms up quickly.
When batch baking foods that will rise
during cooking - eg; bread - always
ensure that enough space has been left
between the shelves to allow for the rise.
Notes:
When 2 or more shelves are being used, it
may be necessary to increase the cooking
time slightly.
Because the 2 oven shelves are wider
than in many ovens, it is possible to cook
2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria sand-
wiches or 2 casseroles.
Although you need to keep in mind the
points ‘To help the air circulate freely’
with careful choice of dishes and tins, it
is possible to cook a complete meal, and
perhaps something else for the freezer, in
the oven at the same time.
When roasting meats, you will notice that
fat splashing is reduced, which is due in
part to the lower oven temperatures, and
will help keep cleaning of the oven to a
minimum.
Because a fan oven has an even tem-
perature throughout the oven, there is no
need to follow the shelf positions given in
the baking guide.
11

USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC
There is no need to interchange dishes
onto different shelves part way through
cooking, as with a conventional oven.
To help the air circulate freely
position the shelves evenly within the
oven and maintain a clearance from the
oven roof and base.
If more than one cooking dish or bak-
ing tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a
gap of at least 25mm between the items
themselves and the oven interior.
Defrosting and cooling in the
main oven
To defrost frozen foods, turn the main
oven control to the defrost position, place
the food in the centre of the oven and
close the door.
To cool foods after cooking prior to refrig-
erating or freezing, turn the main oven
control to the defrost position and open
the door.
Defrosting times
Smallorthinpiecesoffrozenfis ormeat
- eg;fis lets,prawns&mincewilltake
approximately 1 - 2 hours.
placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
A medium sized casserole or stew will
take approximately 3 - 4 hours.
A 1½kg/3lb oven ready chicken will take
approximately 5 hours, remove the giblets
as soon as possible.
Be safe
do not defrost stuffed poultry using this
method.
do not defrost larger joints of meat and
poultry over 2kg/4lb using this method.
Never place uncooked food for defrosting
next to cooked food which is to be cooled,
as this can lead to cross contamination.
Defrostingmeat,poultry,andfis canbe
accelerated using this method but make
sure they are completely thawed before
cooking thoroughly. place meat and poul-
try on a trivet in a meat tin.
MAIN OVEN BAKING GUIDE
Cooking times & temperatures
The temperature settings and times given
in the baking guide are based on dishes
made with block margarine. If soft tub
margarine is used it may be necessary to
reduce the temperature setting.
Allow enough space between shelves for

do not place items on the oven base as
this will prevent air circulating freely.

Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens can
vary over time, therefore cooking times
canvary,makingitdifficu ttobeprecise
when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary therefore, to test the cake
beforeremovalfromtheoven.Useafin 
warmed skewer inserted into the centre of
the cake. If the skewer comes out clean,
then the cake is cooked.
• Follow the temperatures suggested
in the recipe and then adjust accord-
ingly to the conversion table.
• do not attempt to make christmas
cakes larger than the oven can cope
with, you should allow at least 25mm
(1”)spacebetweentheovenwalls
and the tin.
• Always follow the temperatures rec-
ommended in the recipe.
• To protect a very rich fruit cake dur-
ing cooking, tie 2 layers of brown
paper around the tin.
• We recommend that the cake tin is
not stood on layers of brown paper,
as this can hinder effective circulation
of air.
• do not use soft tub margarine for
richfruitcakes,unlessspecifie in
the recipe.
• Always use the correct size and
shape of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
r oasting turkey involves cooking two
different types of meat - the delicate light
breast meat, which must not be allowed
to dry out, and the darker leg meat,
which takes longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long enough
for the legs to cook, so frequent bast-
ing is necessary. The breast meat can be
covered once browned.
• Always make sure that the turkey is
completely thawed and that the gib-
lets are removed before cooking.
• Turkey should be roasted at 160°c
- 180°C(fanned)or180°C-200°C
(conventional)for20minutesper
450g(1lb),plus20minutes,unless
packaging advises otherwise.
• The turkey can be open roasted,
breast side down, for half of the cook
time, and then turned over for the
remainder of the cooking time.
•If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes
per450g(1lb)tothecookingtime.
• If roasting turkey covered with foil,
add5minutesper450g(1lb)tothe
cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
fin skewerintothethickestpartofthe
thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey
is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the
turkey will need longer cooking.

Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the size
andageofthebirdwillinfluenc cooking
times as will the shape of a joint and the
proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed
before cooking. For large joints it is advis-
able to thaw over night.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. The time required
depends on the size of the bird - eg; a
large turkey may take up to 48 hours to
thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will
reduce fat splashing and will help to keep
the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to
help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or
other vegetables can be roasted around
the meat/poultry.
Notes:
• When cooking stuffed meat or poultry
calculate the cooking time from the
total weight of the meat plus the
stuffing
• For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles,
add5minutesper450g(1lb)tothe
calculated cooking time.
• Smaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg(2½lb)mayrequire5minutes
per450g(1lb)extracookingtime.
• position the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry is in the centre of the
oven.
• It is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.

Preheating
Always use the fan oven setting for
preheating to save time and electricity.
After the oven has been preheated on the
fan oven setting, turn the selector control
knob to the oven setting you require. The
oven must be preheated when cooking
frozen or chilled food, and we recommend
preheating for yeast mixtures, batters,
soufflé andwhiskedsponges,otherwise
preheating is not necessary as a fan oven
warms up quickly. preheat the oven until
the indicator neon switches off for the
firs time;thiswilltakebetween5-15
minutes, depending on the temperature
selected.
To help the air circulate freely
• position the shelves evenly within the
oven and maintain a clearance from
the oven roof and base.
• If more than one cooking dish or
baking tray is to be used on a shelf,
leave a gap of at least 25mm be-
tween the items themselves and the
oven interior.
• Allow enough space between shelves
for food that will rise during cooking.
• do not place items on the oven base
as this will prevent air from circulat-
ing freely.
