Hob burners
To light a burner:
lPush the electric ignition button which is marked with
a little spark ( ).
lAt the same time, push in and turn the relevant control
knob anticlockwise to maximum position.
lThen adjust the flame as required.
lIf the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or
a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).

Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily
ignite.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Force Centre.
When using the auxiliary burner (with pans having
a diameter equal or higher than 50mm), place the
special grid on the pan support, as shown in the
diagram.
Triple-crown burner
Always ignite the burner before putting the
pans on.
If after a few attempts the burner does not ignite,
check that the burner cap and crown are correctly
positioned (see diagram).

Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the drop down oven
door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until it is fully
open.
The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied with
two shelves.
The shelf positions are counted from the bottom
of the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven base.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back from
the oven when opening the oven door to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and
produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a
fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
 Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250° .
 Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of
the oven, or placed on the oven base.
 Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
Hints and Tips
Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the oven cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may become
hot if the oven is on high for a long period of time,
therefore flammable materials such as oven gloves,
tea towels, plastic aprons etc. should not be stored
in the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will also
become hot, therefore care should be taken when
removing these items from the drawer whilst the
oven is in use or still hot.

Using the Oven

8
The air inside the oven is heated by the element around
the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates
hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven.
The advantages of cooking with this function are:
l Faster Preheating
As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not
usually necessary to preheat the oven although you
may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes
on cooking times. For recipes which require higher
temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven
is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones,
souffles, etc.
l Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart
at page 14. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25° for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
l Even Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner
positions. This means that batches of the same food
can be cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the top shelf may brown slightly quicker
than the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours
between dishes.
How to Use the Fan Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required tempera-
ture.
THINGS TO NOTE
l The oven light will come on when the oven function
control knob is set.
l The thermostat control light will remain on until the
correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on
and off to show that temperature is being
maintained.
How to Use Defrosting
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the OFF
position.
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the
temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of
defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which
could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux,
iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products.
Using the Fan Oven & Defrosting function
Runner positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spread.
When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place
dishes centrally on the shelves rather than several dishes
on one shelf.
When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer cooking time.
A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven. Place
dishes on a shelf in this position rather than on the oven
base, to allow air circulation around the food.
When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal trays
of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich cakes,
then they will be cooked in the same time and removed
from the oven together. When different sizes of trays or
types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes are cooked, they
will not necessarily be ready together.
The fan oven can be used to heat foods through without
thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies, sausage rolls,
and other small pastry items. Use a temperature of 190-
200° and allow 20-40 minutes (depending on the
quantity of food in the oven).
The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. heck with the recommendations for oven
temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be prepared
to adjust the temperature by 10° if necessary.
Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-25° for
your own conventional recipes.
When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and
meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and can be
used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents splashes of
fat from soiling the oven interior.
The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate
or burner as this may cause the enamel to crack.
About Defrosting:
 over food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.
 ALWAYS OOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
 Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when
ever possible and turned over half way through the
defrosting process.
 Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.) are
suitable for defrosting in this way.

Grilling
Grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed. The grill pan handles must be removed
from the pan.
How to Use the Grill
1. Turn the oven control function knob to .
2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required
temperature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster cooking and further
away for more gentle cooking.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before
sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and
the shelf as necessary during cooking.
During cooking, the thermostat control light will operate
in the same way as described for the fan oven function.
Hints and Tips
- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill
pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food
out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and
kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if
preferred
- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly
with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist
during cooking
- Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms
may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats
- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner
position is used.
- The food should be turned over during cooking, as
required.
The grill element is controlled by the thermostat.
During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to
prevent overheating.
