27007 01 - P1 600EF 28/8/07 11:46 Page 5

Cooling fan
The cooling fan helps to keep the
exterior cool during normal use.
When an element is operated, you
should hear the cooling fan switch on
automatically and be able to feel air
evacuating from the appliance vents
just below the fascia.
The cooling fan will continue to operate
for approximately 10 minutes after
turning off the elements. This is normal.
If there is no such indication that the
fan is operating, the appliance will
require servicing. DO NOT USE THE
APPLIANCE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN SERVICED .
Switch the appliance off at the mains
and contact Customer Support.
Glass door panels
To meet the relevant standards of
Domestic cooking appliances, all the
glass panels on this appliance are
toughened to meet the fragmentation
requirements of BS 3193. This ensures
that, in the unlikely event that a panel
breaks, it does so into small fragments
to minimise the risk of injury.
Please take care when handling, using
or cleaning all glass panels as any
damage to the surfaces or edges may
result in the glass breaking without
warning or apparent cause at a later
date. Should any glass panel be
damaged, we strongly recommend
that it is replaced immediately.

Be Safe - Not Sorry
27007 01 - P1 600EF 28/8/07 11:46 Page 7

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used,
young children should be kept
away.
The grill is a dual circuit fully variable
grill. It can be used for conventional
grilling, or as a fanned grill.
To switch on the grill
Turn the oven control knob clockwise
to either the conventional grill
symbol, or the fanned grill symbol.
Turn the grill control knob to the
desired heat setting.
Turn the temperature selector control
knob clockwise to the desired grill
temperature setting.
To switch off the grill, return the con-
trol knob to the “l” off position.
Preheating
For best results, preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes.
Aluminium foil
Using aluminium foil to cover the grill
pan, or putting items wrapped in foil
under the grill, can create a fire
hazard, and the high reflectivity can
damage the grill element.
Detachable grill pan handle
Place the handle over the edge of the
grill pan, at the narrow side edges.
Slide the handle to the centre, and
locate between the handle position
indicators.
The handle should be removed from
the pan during grilling, to prevent
overheating.
The handle is designed for removing /
inserting the grill pan under the grill
when grilling.
If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot,
use oven gloves to move it. Do not use
the handle to pour hot fats from the
grill pan.

Conventional grill
The door must be open when the
conventional grill function is used -
either fully open or using the door stop
position - open the door about 30˚
and it will hold open.
When using the door stop position for
grilling, you can remove the grill pan
handle by sliding it to the recess.
Thicker foods such as sausages and
chicken portions are suited to con-
ventional grilling.
Fanned grill
The door must be closed when the
fanned grill is used.
When opening the door, take care to
avoid skin contact with any steam
which may escape from the cooking.
Fanned grilling may be faster than
conventional grilling, because air is
being circulated around the food, and
thin portions of food such as bacon or
fish fillets may not need turning.
The fanned grill is particularly suited to
thinner foods such as bacon, gammon,
fish fillets etc.
Grilling (single or dual)
Position the grill pan under the centre
of the grill.
Open the top oven / grill door.
Turn the top oven control knob clock-
wise, or anti clockwise to the desired
function, single or dual grill and select
the temperature you require.
The single grill settings only use the
inner element of the grill.
The speed of grilling can be controlled
by selecting a higher or lower shelf
position.
We recommend that the higher
temperature settings are used for
toasting and for cooking foods such as
bacon, sausages or steaks. Use a
higher shelf position.
For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces, the temperature
may be reduced to a lower setting.
Use a middle to low shelf position.
The grill pan trivet, inside the grill
pan, can be inverted to give a high or
low position, or it may be removed.

Using the Grill
27007 01 - P1 600EF 28/8/07 11:46 Page 9

When you are cooking, keep
children away from the vicinity
of the oven.
The oven is a fanned electric oven.
To switch on the oven
Turn the oven control knob clockwise
to the desired temperature setting.
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 control knob to
the “l” off position.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled food, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges, otherwise preheating is not
necessary as a fan oven warms up
quickly.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time;
this will take between 5 - 15 minutes,
depending on the temperature selected.
N o t e
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven(s). 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 under-
neath of the oven door handle.
Aluminium foil
Use aluminium foil only to cover food
or cooking dishes. Do not foil to cover
the shelves or oven base, as this
creates a fire hazard.
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
Position baking trays and roasting tins
on the middle of the shelves, and leave
one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.

Cooking with a fan oven
If you are used to cooking with a
conventional oven you will find a
number of differences to cooking with
a fan oven which will require a
different approach:
There are no zones of heat in a fan
oven, 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 or stocking the freezer, as all
the items will be cooked within the
same length of time.
Cooking times will generally be shorter
by between 5 - 10 minutes per hour,
than those given in recipe books for
conventional cooking.
We recommend preheating the oven
for frozen or chilled food and also for
soufflés, batter mixtures & yeast mixtures.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time; this
will take between 5 - 15 minutes
depending on the temperature selected.
There is no flavour transference in a
fan oven, which means you can cook
strong smelling foods such as fish at
the same time as mild foods - eg; milk
puddings.
The fan oven may cook foods at a
lower temperature (between 10˚C and
20˚C lower) than a conventional oven,
so conventional recipe temperature
may have to be reduced.
To help the air circulate freely;
nPosition the shelves evenly within
the oven and maintain a clearance
from the oven roof and base.
nIf more than one cooking dish or
baking tray is to be used on a shelf
leave a gap of at least 25mm / 1”
between the items themselves and
the oven interior.
nAllow enough space between
shelves for food that will rise
during cooking.
nDo not place items on the oven
base as this will prevent air from
circulating freely.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even
browning, the maximum size baking
trays and roasting tins that should be
used are as follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 280mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to
20 small cakes.
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
We recommend that you use good
quality cookware. Poor quality trays
and tins may warp when heated,
leading to uneven baking results.

Using the Oven
27007 01 - P1 600EF 28/8/07 11:46 Page 11

Slow cooking
nFor roasting joints of meat or
poultry and for pot roasts preheat
the oven to 190˚C - 200˚C and
cook for 30 minutes, then adjust
the oven control to the 110 - 120˚C
“slow setting” for the remainder of
the cooking time.
nSlow cooking times will be about
3 times as long as conventional
cooking times.
nMake sure that frozen foods are
thoroughly T H A W E D before cooking.
nDo not slow cook joints of meat or
poultry weighing more than 21⁄4kg
/ 41⁄2lb.
Cooking frozen & chilled foods
nAlways preheat the oven before use.
nWhen cooking frozen or chilled
foods, please follow the food
manufactuer’s instructions. If
cooking more than one tray or
item, cooking times may need to
be increased.
nPlease ensure that foods are piping
hot before consumption.
nAlways use the temperature setting
stated on the food packaging
when cooking convenience food.
nNever overload the tray - eg; oven
chips should be placed ont the
baking tray in one even layer for
satisfactory cooking.
nFollow the cooking times given on
the packaging, but remember that
they are only intended as a guide,
and do not take individual
preferences into account.
nAlways cook frozen convenience
foods straight from the freezer unless
packaging advises otherwise.

Defrosting and cooling
To defrost frozen foods, turn the
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
refrigerating or freezing, turn the oven
control to the defrost position, and
open the door about 30˚ to the stop
position.
Be Safe
nDo not defrost stuffed poultry using
this method.
nDo not defrost larger joints of meat
and poultry over 2kg/4lb using
this method.
nNever place uncooked food for
defrosting next to cooked food
which is to be cooled, as this can
lead to cross contamination.
nDefrosting meat, poultry and fish
can be accelerated using this
method but make sure they are
completely thawed before cooking
thoroughly. Place meat and poultry
on a trivet in a meat tin.
Defrosting times
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or
meat eg; fish fillets, prawns and 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 11⁄2kg/3lb oven ready chicken will
take approximately 5 hours, remove
the giblets as soon as possible.

Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens
can vary over time, therefore cooking
times can vary, making it difficult to be
precise when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary, therefore, to test the
cake before removal from the oven.
Use a fine warmed skewer inserted
into the centre of the cake. If the
skewer comes out clean, then the cake
is cooked.
nDo not attempt to make Christmas
cakes larger than the oven can
cope with; you should allow at
least 25mm (1 inch) space
between the oven walls and the tin.
nAlways follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.
nTo protect a very rich fruit cake
during cooking, tie 2 layers of
brown paper around the tin.
nWe recommend that the cake tin is
not stood on layers of brown
paper, as this can hinder effective
circulation of air.
nDo not use soft tub margarine for
rich fruit cakes unless specified in
the recipe.
nAlways use the correct size and
shape of tin for the recipe quantities.
Roast turkey
Roasting turkey perfectly 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 basting is necessary. The
breast meat can be covered once
browned.
nTurkey should be roasted at 170 -
190˚C for 20 minutes per 1lb,
plus 20 minutes unless packaging
advises otherwise.
nThe 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.
nIf the turkey is stuffed, add 5
minutes per 1lb to the cooking time.
nIf roasting turkey covered with
foil, add 5 minutes per 1lb to the
cooking time.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a
fine 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.

27007 01 - P1 600EF 28/8/07 11:46 Page 15

Roasting guide
The times given in the roasting guide
are only approximate, because the
size and age of the bird will influence
cooking times as will the shape of a
joint and the proportion of bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly
thawed before cooking. For large
joints it is advisable to thaw overnight.
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;
nWhen cooking stuffed meat or
poultry, calculate the cooking time
from the total weight of the meat
plus the stuffing.
nFor joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded c a s s e r o l e s ,
add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to
the calculated cooking time.
nSmaller joints weighing less than
1.25kg (21⁄2lb) may require 5
minutes per 450g (1lb) extra
cooking time.
nPosition the oven shelf so that the
meat or poultry will be in the
centre of the oven.
nIt is recommended that the appliance
is cleaned after open roasting.

Automatic cooking
The automatic cooking facility is
controlled by the programmer (see
‘Programmer / Clock’ section) and
allows complete meals, or individual
dishes to be cooked while you are out
of the house, to be ready for when you
return. The ‘Ready Time’ should be set
as close as possible to, or just after
your anticipated return so food is not
left standing in a warm oven.
Do:
nSelect foods which are as fresh as
possible, and as cold as possible -
ie; preferably straight from the
refrigerator.
nChoose foods which are suitable for
cooking from a cold start, as some
dishes will be affected by being
left uncooked, at room temperature,
perhaps for several hours - eg; a
wet filling on a pastry base.
nMake sure that meat an d poultry
are thoroughly thawed (but still cold
from the refrigerator), before placing
them in the oven, and avoid using
rolled joints of meat which can be
more susceptible to the growth of
food poisoning organisms.
nCover dishes with lids or foil to
keep the food moist, prevent the
transfer of odours, and protect from
possible contamination; the food
can be uncovered towards the end
of cooking to crisp and brown.
Do not:
nWarm food should never be
placed in the oven if there is a
delay period. Stews prepared by
frying the meat and vegetables
first should be cooked as soon as
possible, or refrigerated prior to
placing in the oven.
nSome dishes are not suitable for
cooking on automatic - eg; dishes
containing left over cooked meat
or poultry, eggs, cooked rice or

Using the Oven
Important: Food is more susceptible
to the growth of food poisoning
organisms in warm conditions. If the
weather is hot, either take care to
ensure that food is not left standing in
a warm oven, or avoid using the
automatic cooking facility.
Hints for automatic cooking
nFood is placed in a cold oven so
you will need to add about 10 -
15 minutes onto the cooking time
to allow for the oven to reach the
selected temperature.
nWine or beer may ferment, and
cream may curdle during the delay
period, so it is best to add these
ingredients just before serving.
nPotatoes should be parboiled or
brushed with oil to prevent
discolouration during the delay
period.
nMeat can be brushed with oil to
prevent it drying.
nLemon juice can be added to
certain fruits and vegetables such
as apples, pears, turnips and
parsnips to prevent discolouration
during the delay period.
