Introduction
When the power is turned on.
As soon as the power is switched on, the
oven will run a brief self check.
Once this has been done, the timer dis-
play in between the central and right
hand control knob will begin to flash.
We recommend that you set the correct
time of day before using the appliance
for the first time.
If the time of day is not set after one
minute, the timer display will show
“00.01” as the time.
Please remember that this is a 24 hour
timer.
Manual operation
Always make sure that the appliance is
in manual cooking mode before using it.
The Automatic programmer will not
allow the oven/grill to be used if it is
waiting to run a programme.
To change an oven light bulb
Switch off the electricity to the appli-
ance at the socket, to avoid the risk of
electric shock.
Wait until the oven is cool, then remove
the oven shelves.
The lens cover on the light can be
removed by pulling away from the oven
side. Unscrew the bulb and replace.
Please note that oven light bulbs are not
covered by guarantee.
Cooling fan
When any oven or grill heating function
is selected the cooling fan will operate
and continue to operate continuously
and for 15minutes after the last heating
function has been switched off, unless
any oven or grill heating element has not
operated for longer than 90 seconds.
In this case the cooling fan will switch off
immediately.
In all cases the cooling fan will switch on
if it detects a temperature of 150˙C or
above and will not switch off until the
temperature is 150˙C or below.
In the event of a power cut:
1. Switch off the electricity supply to
the appliance.
2. When the power returns, see the
‘Programmer / Clock’ section to ‘Set
the time of day’.
Condensation
When hot moist air, created when cook-
ing, meets a cooler surface such as an
oven door, then the formation of con-
densation is normal, especially when
cooking wet dishes at low temperatures.
Note: Automatic cooking will normally
produce condensation when cooling
down and food is still in the oven.
To minimize this:
Most importantly - pre-heat the oven on
a high temperature before putting food
into the oven
also - Cover the food you are cooking
Where possible cook wet food at higher
temperatures
Do not leave food in the oven to cool
down

You cannot use the automatic pro-
grammer with the grill, however the
minute minder function can be used.
(see Programmer/Clock section)
Never leave the grill unattended for
long periods of time when it is in use,
if you do leave the appliance - set the
minute minder as a reminder.
The grill is recommended for toasting
bread, and grilling foods such as
steaks, sausage and bacon.
If you use the fanned grill function, you
do not need to turn thinner foods such
as bacon, fish and gammon streaks.

Using the oven
Please read through these
instructions carefully before
using for the first time.
Never put items directly on the base of
the oven or cover the oven base with
foil, as this can cause the base element
to overheat.
Preheating
The oven performs at it’s best when
preheated.
We recommend that you turn the oven
on, select the function you require,
and allow it to preheat before you put
any foods or dishes in to cook.
While the oven is preheating, the tem-
perature display will show the desired
temperature and the ˙C symbol (shown
below will flash.
Once the oven completes it’s preheat
the ˙C will stop flashing and an audi-
ble tone will be heard.
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
between 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
circulating freely.

Defrosting and cooling
Important notes:
To defrost frozen foods, place food
in the centre of the oven and close
the door.
To cool foods after cooking prior to
refrigeration or freezing, place food
in the centre of the oven with the
door open.
Be safe
•Do not defrost stuffed poultry using
this method.
•Do not defrost larger joints of meat
or poultry over 2kg / 4lb using this
method.
•Never place uncooked food which
is to be defrosted next to cooked
food which is to be cooled, as this
can lead to cross contamination.
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 1.5kg / 3lb chicken will take
approximately 5 hours - remove the
giblets as soon as possible.

Roasting guide
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 (unless packaging
advises otherwise). The time required depends on the size of the bird - eg; a large
turkey may take up to 48 hours to thaw.
Adjust the shelf positions so the meat or poultry will be in the centre of the oven.
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 the joint and
the proportion of bone.

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.
•Do 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.
• Always follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.
•To protect a very rich fruit cake
during 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

Roast turkey
Roasting 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 fre-
quent basting is necessary. The breast
meat can be covered once browned.
• Always make sure that the turkey
is completely thawed and that the
giblets are removed before cook-
ing.
• Turkey should be roasted at
200˚C - Conventional / 180˚C -
Fanned for 20 minutes per 450g
(1lb), 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 roasting turkey covered with foil,
add 5 minutes per 450kg (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.
