FIRE SAFETY ADVICE
Mostkitchenresoccurwhenpeopleare
distracted or leave things unattended, so
remember:
If you’re called away from the cooker - by
the phone or someone at the door, either
take pans off the heat, or switch off your
hob.
Don’t let yourself be distracted while
cooking.
Ifyoudohaveareinthekitchen,don’t
take any risks - get everyone out of your
home and call the Fire Brigade.
If a pan catches re:
• Do not move it - it is likely to be
extremely hot.
• Turn off the heat if it’s safe to do so
- but never lean over a pan to reach
the controls.
• Ifyouhaveareblanket,putitover
the pan.
• Ifyouhaveputthereout,leavethe
pan to cool completely.
Deep-fat frying presents more dan-
gers in your kitchen.
• Neverllachippan(orotherdeep-
fat fryer) more than one-third full of
oil
• Donotuseareextinguisherona
pan of oil - the force of the extin-
guishercanspreadthereandcre-
ateareball.
If you have an electrical re in the
kitchen:
• Pull the plug out, or switch off the
power at the fuse box - this may be
enoughtostopthereimmediately
• Smothertherewithareblanket,
or use a dry powder or carbon diox-
ide extinguisher
• Remember:neverusewateronan
electricalorcookingoilre.

USING THE HOB - ELECTRIC (CERAMIC)
Warnings
• Do not use the ceramic
hob if the glass surface is
cracked, as electrical parts
are directly beneath. Switch
off the appliance at the sup-
ply to prevent electric shock
and contact your supplier.
• The hob surface remains
hot after use.
• DO NOT TOUCH.
Using Rotary Controls
• Select the element you wish to use,
place the pan on and turn the control
knob to the power setting you wish
to use.
• To switch off, turn the selected con-
trol knob to the ‘off’ position.
Notes on use
• The power settings on the hob do
not indicate any set temperature and
cannot be used to judge one element
against another.
• During cooking, the elements will
cycle on and off. This is to prevent
the hob from overheating.
• Pans should not be allowed to come
into contact with any coloured trims,
panels or fascia parts during use
as this may cause discolouration or
scratches on the surface.
• Always lift pans on and off the cook-
ing surface. Do not slide the pans
across, as this could cause marks and
scratches on the hob top and coated
andpaintednishes.
Hot Hob Warning
(if tted)
The surface of the hob gets hot
inuse.Yourhobmayhave:
•Theword“hot”writtenonit,
as a cautionary note that the
surface will become hot during
use.
•Theword“hot”writtenon
it, with the addition of a light
beneath it. This light will il-
luminate when any element
is used and remains lit for a
while after all elements have
been switched off to show that
the surface may still be hot to
touch.

USING THE GRILL - ELECTRIC
Caution: Accessible parts may be
hot when the grill is used - young
children should be kept away.
A grill pan handle can be purchased as an
optional extra from our spares department
quotingthepartnumbersbelow:
Handle - 082283705
Handle grip - 082469100
Complete grill pan pack - 012635666
Contact details can be found on the
customer care page.
If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot, use
oven gloves to move it.
Food for grilling should be positioned
centrally on the trivet.
Using the grill
Important: The grill door must be fully
open when the grill is used.
Open the grill door. Turn the control knob
to the required setting. For best cooking
results, we recommend that you preheat
the dual grill for 3 minutes and the single
grill for 5 minutes.
For grilling small quantities of food, the
centre (economy) grill can be used with
the grill trivet inverted. For large quanti-
ties of food, the full grill can be used.
Push the grill pan towards the back of the
shelf, to position it under the grill.
The speed of grilling can be controlled by
adjusting the grill setting or by selecting a
higher or lower shelf position. For toast-
ing, and for grilling foods such as bacon,
sausages or steaks, use a higher shelf
position. For thicker foods such as chops
or chicken joint pieces, use a middle to
low shelf position.
The grill trivet, inside the grill pan, can be
inverted to give a high or low position, or
it may be removed.
To switch off, turn the control knob to the
off position.
Using aluminium foil
Using aluminium foil to cover the grill pan,
or putting items wrapped in foil under the
grillcreatesarehazard.
The cooling fan
When the grill is switched on, the cool-
ing fan comes on to keep the fascia and
control knobs cool during grilling. The fan
may continue to operate for a period after
the grill has been switched off.
During use the fan may cycle on and off,
this is normal.
Alternatively, you may have grill symbols
similar to these below.
or Full grill at 1/4
power
Centre grill at full
power
Full grill area at
full power
Types of grill
Variable rategrill:
has adjustable heat settings
1 (low) to 8 (high) or 5 (high) - de-
pending on the model.
Single grill:hasonegrillelement.The
grill pan trivet MUST be inverted when
using the single grill function.
Dualgrill: has two grill elements which
can be used together, or as a single
grill.

USING THE TOP OVEN - ELECTRIC (if tted)
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(iftted).
To turn on the top oven
Turn the temperature control knob until
the required temperature is selected.
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 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
There are either 3 or 4 shelf positions,
depending on which model you have
purchased. These are counted from the
bottom of the oven upwards, so shelf
position 1 is the lowest.
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.
