Thank you for choosing a
British built appliance by Stoves
We hope the following information
will help you to quickly familiarise
yourself with the features of the

Glass 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 BS3193. 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.

Grilling in the main oven
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used -
young children should be kept
away.
The grill lights and main oven facia
neons will not operate when the
programmer is set for automatic
operation.
The grill / fanned grill are fixed
settings using the inner element only.
Detachable grill pan handle
Place the handle over the edge of
the grill pan. 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.
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.
Conventional grill
The door must be open when the grill
is used for conventional grilling.
(i) Turn the selector control knob to
the conventional grill setting.
(ii) Turn the oven control knob to the
grill setting.
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.
(i) Turn the selector control knob to
the fan grill setting.
(ii) Turn the oven control knob to the
grill setting.
When the fanned grill is selected, only
the inner element will come on.
Fanned grilling may be faster than
conventional grilling because air is
being circulated around the food.
Thin portions of food, such as bacon
or fish fillets, may not need turning.
For best results, preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes.

Oven cooking
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the appliance is in
use - keep children away from
the vicinity of the oven.
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.
Manual operation
Set the programmer to manual operation.
See ‘Programmer / Clock’ section.
Turn the selector control knob until the
symbol for the desired oven function is
showing in the window.
Turn the main oven control knob to the
desired temperature.
The red thermostat indicator neon will
come on and off 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 the main oven, return the
main oven control knob to the “off”
position.
Automatic operation
See ‘Programmer / Clock section.
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, soufflés 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 first 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 25 mm
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.

more information on using the Defrost
function.
Slow cooking
Turn the selector control to either
conventional oven or fanned oven.
Do not try to slow cook using any of
the other oven functions.
For 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 temperature control
to 110 - 120˚C for the remainder of
the cooking time.
• Always use the top half of the oven
when slow cooking in the top
oven, or in the main oven with the
conventional oven function.
• Slow cooking times will be about
three times as long as conventional
cooking times.
• Make sure that frozen foods are
thoroughly thawed before cooking.
• Do not slow cook joints of meat or
poultry weighing more than 21⁄4 kg.

Caution: Any cleaning agent
used incorrectly may damage
the appliance.
Always let the oven cool before
cleaning.
Some cooking operations generate
considerable amount of grease, this
combined with spillage can become a
hazard if allowed to accumulate on
the appliance through lack of
cleaning. In extreme cases this may
amount to misuse of the appliance and
could invalidate your guarantee.
Do not use caustic pastes, abrasive
cleaning powders, coarse wire wool
or any hard implements, as they will
damage the surfaces.
All parts of the appliance can be safely
cleaned with a cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water.
Chrome plated parts

removed for cleaning. Grasp the
runners, and slide out of the hanging
holes as shown.
Note: These items may also be
cleaned in a dishwasher.
Painted, plastic & metal finish
parts
HANDLES & CONTROL KNOBS
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in
hot soapy water.
Vitreous enamel surfaces
GRILL PAN, TOP OVEN / GRILL COMPARTMENT,
MAIN OVEN COMPARTMENT FLOOR
Use a mild cream cleaner. Look for one
which has the Vitreous Enamel Council’s
recommendation seal - eg; “Cif”.
Stubborn marks may be removed with
a moistened “Brillo” pad.
The grill pan may be cleaned in a
dishwasher, or with a nylon brush in
hot soapy water.
‘Easy-care’ surfaces
MAIN OVEN SIDES AND BACK
If you do a lot of open roasting, or
roast at temperatures above 200˚C,
we recommend regular cleaning to
help prevent a build up of fats. Use of
a trivet in a roasting tin when roasting
will help reduce fat splashing.
Caution: Most types of cleaning
agent will damage these surfaces.
Only use a few drops of washing up
liquid in hot water. Wipe the surfaces
with a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy
water - if larger splashes of fat do not
readily disappear, scrub the area with
a nylon brush or nylon pan scourer
and hot soapy water. Rinse well and
heat the oven to dry the surfaces.

Glass parts
FACIA PANEL & DOOR PANELS
Use a mild cream cleaner - eg; “Cif”.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners
or polishes.
Important: the inner door glass
panel can be removed for cleaning but
it must be replaced the right way up as
shown (so the reflective side faces
inwards), and pushed fully in to the
stop position. To remove the glass
panel, open the door wide, hold the
top and bottom edges and slide out.
ANTHRACITE COLOURED GLASS PARTS
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in
hot water, and dry with a soft cloth.
Ceramic grill glass
After using the top oven or grill, wait
until the grill glass is cool before
giving it a quick wipe over.
Most splashes on the grill glass will burn
off as the grill is used but, if necessary,
it can be cleaned using a ceramic hob
cleaner, eg; “Hob Brite”, or a moist soapy
“Brillo” pad. When cleaning, do not
exert excessive pressure on the grill glass.
For removing stubborn deposits, we
recommend a ceramic hob scraper.
Stainless Steel surfaces (stainless
steel finish models only)
FACIA PANEL, HANDLES, DOOR PANELS
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot
soapy water, and dry with a soft cloth.
Stubborn marks can be removed using
“Luneta”. We recommend that you
clean the whole of the stainless steel
area to maintain a uniform finish.
Supplies can be purchased from
H.R.P.C. - contact direct sales
order line on 01772 819 672.
Do not use undiluted bleach or any
products containing chlorides as they
can permanently damage the steel.
Extra care should be taken when
cooking food in salted water. Some
foods are corrosive - eg; vinegar, fruit
juices and especially salt - they can
mark or damage stainless steel if they
are left on the surface. Turn off and
wipe any spillage immediately, taking
care to avoid skin contact with any hot
surface or spillage.
Sharp objects can mark the surface of
stainless steel, but marks will become
less noticeable with time.
To maintain the finish of the stainless
steel, or to remove any greasy marks,
wipe the stainless steel surface spar-
ingly with a minimum amount of
“Johnson’s Baby Oil” and kitchen paper.
Do not use cooking oils, as these may
contain salt, which can damage the
stainless steel surface.
