USING THE TOP OVEN
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.
To turn on the top oven
Turn the temperature control knob until
the required temperature is selected.
The white 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 tem-
perature.
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. The fan
may continue to operate for a period after
the oven control has been switched off.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when cook-
ingfrozenorchilledfoods,andwerec-
ommend preheating for yeast mixtures,
batters,soufés,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
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
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 sen-
sitive skin. We recommend that you hold
the underneath of the oven door handle.

Cooking temperatures
The temperature settings and time given
in the Baking Guides are based on dishes
made with block margarine. If soft tub
margarine is used, it may be necessary
to reduce the temperature setting. If a
recipe gives a different temperature set-
ting to that shown in the guide, the recipe
instruction should be followed.
Because the top oven is more compact,
it may be necessary to reduce cooking
temperaturesspeciedinrecipesbyupto
20°C.
Use the baking guide as a reference for
determining which temperatures to use.

USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC
Accessible parts may be
hot when the oven is used.
Young children should be
kept away.
To switch on the oven
Turntheovencontrolknob(s)tothe
required setting.
Thewhitethermostatneon(iftted)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 tem-
perature.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the off position.
When using the oven
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent in the 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.
PREHEATING
Fanned oven
When cooking sensitive items such as
soufeandYorkshirepuddingsor,when
cooking bread, we recommend that the
oven is preheated until the neon switches
offforthersttime.Foranyothertypes
of cooking, a preheat may not be re-
quired.
Conventional oven
Preheating is always required
Manual Operation (Left hand oven
only)
The programmer must be set to manual
operation before the main oven can be
used.IfA(Auto)isontheprogrammer
display, return the oven to manual by
pressing the up and down buttons simul-
taneously Any programme which has been
set is cancelled.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan may operate when the
main oven is on and may continue to op-
erate for a period after the oven has been
switched off.
OVEN FURNITURE
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.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even brown-
ing,therecommendedsizebakingtrays
and roasting tins that should be used are
as follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 250mm
Thissizeofbakingtraywillholdupto12
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 MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC
Slow cooking ( Setting or 100°C)
• Makesurethatfrozenfoodsarethor-
oughly thawed before cooking.
• Do not slow cook joints of meat
or poultry weighing more than
2¼kg/4½lb.
• Preheat the oven to 170°C and cook
for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven
control to or 100°C (slow cook
setting)fortheremainderofthe
cooking time.
• Slow cooking times will be about 3
times as long as conventional cooking
times.
• Do not open the oven door unneces-
sarily during slow cooking, as this will
result in heat loss at low tempera-
tures.
• Alwaysusedisheswithtightlytting
lids.Torectifybadlyttinglids,place
foil over the dish underneath the lid.
Aluminium foil
Use foil only to cover food or cooking
dishes, using foil to cover the shelves or
ovenbasecreatesare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nd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.
Thereisnoavourtransferenceinafan
oven, which means you can cook strong
smellingfoodssuchasshatthesame
time as mild foods - eg; milk puddings.
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.
