INSTALLATION
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
Connection to the electricity supply must be
made by a competent electrician, using a suitable
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area
to prevent overheating and deterioration. Six square
millimetres (6.00mm ) is the recommended cross-
sectional area.
POSITIONING THE COOKER
The cooker has rollers fitted to the rear to assist
when moving the cooker. To move the cooker, open
the main oven door and raise the cooker by lifting
the inside top of the main oven. Do not move the
cooker by pulling the oven door or door handle.
This is a type Y appliance which means it is
freestanding and has adjustable feet fitted to the
front to assist in positioning the cooker and is
designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced
600mm (24in) apart. The space either side need
only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker
for cleaning or servicing. It can be fitted with
cabinets on one or both sides as well as in a corner
setting. It can also be situated as a free-standing
model.
Adjacent side walls which project above hob
level, should be protected by heat resistant material,
but in any case should not be nearer to the cooker
than 75mm (3in). Any overhanging surface or
cooker hood should not be nearer than 685mm
(27in) above the hob.
BEFORE USE
Record the model and serial number on the back
of this booklet.
Please ensure that any protective film and all
packaging has been removed from the cooker
before switching on.
Allow all elements to run for a short period to
burn off any residue from the surfaces of the
elements.
CONTROL KNOBS
The control knobs can be pushed in to prevent
accidental re-setting but are required to be in the
outward position (by pushing in and releasing) to
select a setting for cooking. When in use the
settings will glow through the display windows.
MANUAL CONTROL
Should the oven indicator neon not glow when
the oven control dial is turned on, it will most likely
be found that the cooker is set for automatic
cooking. To return the cooker to manual, turn the
stop/cook time knob to the manual position.
DURING USE
This cooker has passed all the approved
temperature and safety requirements. However,
when using various parts of the cooker, certain
areas may become hot.
COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The fan may cycle on and off during any cooking
operation and is controlled by an automatic
temperature sensing device in the cooker.
AT THE END OF COOKING DO NOT
IMMEDIATELY TURN THE COOKER OFF AT THE
MAINS SUPPLY. THIS WILL ALLOW THE
COOLING FAN TO CONTINUE TO RUN UNTIL
THE INTERNAL CONTROLS IN THE APPLIANCE
HAVE COOLED DOWN.

THE SEALED PLATE HOB
SUPERFAST SEALED PLATES
The hob is fitted with four superfast plates
indicated-by the red centres.
The control switches for these sealed plates
provide a very flexible control from slow simmer to
fast boil. Turn the control to the highest setting for
fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more
slowly or simmer, choose a lower number or
intermediate setting, although this will vary with the
size and type of saucepan, the quantity and type of
food and whether or not a lid is used.
The settings can be seen illuminated through the
display window. This also serves as a reminder to
turn the switch back to off '0' when cooking is
complete.
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the
pan only one-third full of fat or oil. Do not cover the
pan with a lid and do not leave the pan unattended.
Before deep fat frying, please refer to the section on
deep fat frying in cookery book.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan
where it is and switch off at the electricity supply.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan
to smother the flames. Do not use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes. Do
not leave fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob to
store it, in case the hob is inadvertently switched on.
SAUCEPANS
To achieve the best result, the fastest heating up
times and the most economical use of electricity
choose good quality saucepans with close fitting
lids.
Pans should have flat bases approximately
25mm (1in) larger than the diameter of the hotplate-
up to 255mm (10in) base diameter on 180mm (7in)
plates. This ensures maximum efficiency and
prevents spillover onto the plates during use.
Pans must not overlap the outer hob trims.
Very thin badly dented and distorted pans,
particularly with uneven bases should not be used.
It is not advisable to use large preserving pans or
fish kettles placed across two plates as damage
may occur to the hob. Ensure that saucepans are
always clean and dry before use.
Saucepans should be lifted onto and off plates
and not slid on, since this may in time scratch the
surface finish of the hob. Never leave the plates on
for longer periods when not covered with a pan ...
never place a utensil with a skirt on the plate, e.g. a
bucket ... and never use an asbestos mat.
Any recommendations given by the saucepan or
cooking utensils manufacturer should be followed.

OVEN AND GRILL SHELVES
Four shelves are provided which are
interchangeable throughout the cooker, for grilling,
and fan oven cooking.
By using the cranked and straight shelves in the
runner positions provided, a variety of shelf positions
may be achieved. The shelves have been designed
with a stop position to prevent them tilting when
pulled forward, so that food can be easily placed in
and removed from the compartment. The shelves
should be placed in the runner with the rods
uppermost, and the shelf stops towards the rear.
GRILL SHELVES
It is recommended that when toasting bread a
cranked shelf is used in the top runner position of
the grill compartment. For other grilling operations a
straight or cranked shelf may be used in any of the
runners to give a variety of positions to suit the load
being cooked.
FAN OVEN SHELVES
A variety of shelves and runner positions may be
used for fan oven cooking. When baking large
quantities, a combination of straight and cranked
shelves evenly spaced should be used.
STORAGE FOR SHELVES
As the shelves are interchangeable between the
oven and grill, the compartment which is not being
used for cooking may be used for storing shelves
when not in use.
10

THE GRILL
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY
BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
The whole area of the grill can be used for rapid
grilling and toasting of larger quantities or the centre
grill only for cooking smaller quantities of food.
The grill door must be left open during grilling.
OPERATION OF THE FULL GRILL
To operate the grill turn the grill control clockwise
from the "O' position.
For grilling and toasting, the control should
normally be turned to 5 for initial pre-heating of 2
minutes and then adjusted as necessary. The pre-
heating may be increased to 6-9 minutes when flash
grilling blue, rare or medium steaks.
As this is a rapid grill, when grilling fatty foods it
is advisable to lower the position of the pan under
the element the/or reduce the setting, after initially
sealing the outside of the food, to help prevent
splashings of fat onto the grill element.
OPERATION OF THE CENTRE GRILL
To operate turn the grill control anti-clockwise
from the 'O' position.
For all grilling and toasting, the control should
normally be turned to '5' for the initial pre-heating of
3 minutes and then adjusted as necessary.
The pre-heat may be increased to 10-13 minutes
when flash grilling blue, rare or medium steaks.
For convenience and flexibility of use e.g.
cleaning, storage and as use as a meat tin, the grill
pan is supplied with a removable handle. In the
interests of safety, it is suggested that when the grill
pan is removed from the cooker whilst containing
hot contents it is firmly gripped, using the grill pan
handle and steadied at the side with the other hand
using an oven glove.
To insert the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly
upwards inserting the lip into the widest part of the
bracket, move the handle towards the left, lower into
position and release the button. Ensure the handle
is positively located.
To remove the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly
upwards and towards the right to remove from the
bracket.
11
Ensure your hand is protected when
removing the grill pan handle as the grill element
can become very hot.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE
DURING GRILLING.
To correctly locate the grill pan on the shelf,
ensure that the cut out on the underside of the
handle bracket locates over the front bar of the
shelf.
The shelf is positioned on runners in the grill
compartment side panels, providing alternative
grilling positions. In addition there is a reversible grid
within the pan. When toasting bread we suggest that
the cranked shelf in the low position in the top
runner of the grill compartment is used with the grid
in either position. This depends on the thickness and
freshness of the bread and the grid position and
shelf must be adjusted to suit.
Do not line the grill pan, grid or trivet with
aluminium foil. It is advisable not to leave food, i.e.
fat or oil in the meat pan or grill pan on the cooker,
in case the cooker is inadvertently switched on.
The pan may be stored in this compartment with
the handle removed.

THE FAN OVEN
USE OF THE FAN OVEN
1. The drop down oven door should be opened by
pulling the handle at the top of the door and closed
by a gentle push.
2. Before switching the oven on, arrange the
shelves in position. The runners are numbered from
the bottom upwards. The shelves provided with the
cooker give a variety of positions.
The even heat distribution in the oven allows
most dishes to be cooked equally well on any shelf
position.
3. If cooking only one or two dishes it is preferable
that they are placed centrally on separate shelves.
It is recommended that when baking larger
quantities and 3 or 4 shelves are being used the
shelf positions should be evenly spaced to suit the
load being cooked.
A slight increase in cooking time may be
necessary.
4. Baking trays or oven dishes should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
5. To operate the fan oven turn control in a
clockwise direction to the temperature required for
cooking. The fan oven neon will glow until the
temperature selected is reached and then go out. It
will cycle on and off periodically during cooking
showing that the temperature is being maintained.
6. The compartment is fitted with two oven lights
positioned in the top of the side panels. Food can be
seen during cooking without loss of heat through the
glass panel in the door.
7. Most foods are cooked at lower temperatures
in the fan oven than conventional ovens. A
guideline is to reduce the temperature by 20-25°C
when using recipes from general cookery books or
check with the recommendations given for a similar
food item in the oven cooking chart on page 17.
8. Do not line any part of the oven with aluminium
foil.
9. The oven is vented through the back of the
cooker. Under certain conditions when moisture is
present, steam will be visible from the vent. This is
quite normal and prevents a build-up of steam which
would otherwise occur inside the oven.
10. The use of oven thermometers are not
recommended as they do not give accurate
temperature readings and therefore, can give
misleading information to the user.
12
THE TRIVET
The trivet ensures that oven cleaning is kept to a
minimum. The joint is placed on the trivet in the
roasting tin so that during cooking all the fat drains
through the perforations into the cavity base.
Potatoes should be brushed with melted fat before
cooking and placed around the joint.
REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB
The type of bulb required is a 300C 25 watt small
Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1.
(Available through Tricity Bendix service centres)
CAUTION: Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply before replacing the bulb.
Open door and remove the shelves to enable
easy access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat
blade screwdriver between the oven side and the
glass which covers the bulb.
Support the glass with your hand and prise out
sufficiently to release the glass cover. Unscrew the
bulb in an anti-clockwise direction until it is possible
to remove the bulb with ease.
Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise
direction until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the
flange is pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the
glass by pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the
bulb assembly.
Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity
supply and adjust the time of day and clock, as
necessary.

THE FAN OVEN FEATURES
THERMAL GRILLING
Thermal grilling (by hot air) in the fan oven with
the door closed offers an alternative method of
cooking food items normally associated with
conventional grilling.
Kebabs, fish, chops and sausages may be
thermal grilled in the fan oven using the special grid
where provided. Varied and/or bulk loads of food
such as chicken portions or mixed grill may be
successfully cooked. This would require constant
attention if grilled conventionally but since the food
is heated from all around by the hot, circulating air,
this is unnecessary; very little or no attention is
required.
When more than one load of food is required for
grilling it is generally more economical to thermal
grill in the fan oven. By utilising the oven to cook the
rest of the meal at the same time further savings
may be made.
Alternative textures and flavours can be
developed and as cooking times are less critical
when thermal grilling, foods do not spoil or burn so
quickly. In addition, as there is no radiant heat, the
cooking process is more gentle with less splattering
of fats/juices from the food and therefore less
cleaning required.
THE GRID
The grid supplied with the cooker has been specially
designed to be suitable for both conventional grilling
and, when used in the 'high position' for thermal
grilling, the grid fits into the meat tin provided.
Food is placed onto the grid and the hot air
circulates around the food. Vegetable
accompaniments such as mushrooms, tomatoes
and thinly sliced potatoes may be cooked in the
meat tin underneath the grid, remaining moist from
the juices dripping from the meat above.
13
COOKING TEMPERATURE
200*C should be used for most thermal grilling. A
lower temperature of 170?-180?C is recommended
when cooking more delicate items such as fish fillets
or when utilising the rest of the oven to cook a
pudding.
Most thermal grilling can be carried out from a
cold start. It is only necessary to preheat the oven if
cooking steaks when the meat tin and grid should be
left in the oven during the preheated period. Only
steaks which are required medium or well done
should be cooked by thermal grilling. Rare steaks
should be cooked conventionally under the radiant
grill.
COOKING TIMES
Due to the absence of radiant heat, food
generally takes a little longer to cook when thermal
grilling in the fan oven compared with conventional
grilling. However, the advantage is that larger loads
can be cooked at the same time.
A general guide to cooking times is given on
page 14 but these times may vary slightly depending
on the thickness and quantity of the food.

DEFROST FEATURE
The fan oven has a defrost facility marked on the
control dial *. When the control is set to this position,
the fan oven operates with the fan only switched on,
i.e. without heat or neon indication. This enables
some foods to be defrosted more quickly than
conventional methods due to the fast circulating air
in the oven, although the actual speed of defrosting
will be determined by the ambient temperature.
The types of foods suitable for thawing without
heat are delicate frozen foods to be served cold,
such as fruit, cream, fresh cream or butter-cream
filled cakes and gateaux, cakes coated with icings,
frostings or chocolate, cheesecakes, quiches,
pastries, biscuits, scones, bread and other yeast
products such as doughnuts, buns and croissants,
etc.
Faster defrosting of bread and plain cakes may
be carried out with heat, using the lower
temperature setting (80-90°C) on the oven control,
although the food may go stale more quickly if
thawed in this way. Small cooked pastry items, e.g.
tarts, pies, sausage rolls and mince pies can be
heated through without thawing first. Place into a
cold oven set at 190/220°C for 20-40 minutes,
depending on the quantity, size and required serving
temperature.
It is normally preferable to thaw fish, meat and
poultry slowly in the refrigerator. However, this
process can be accelerated by thawing in the fan
oven without heat using the defrost feature:-
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish such as fish
fillets and peeled prawns, or meat items such as
cubed or minced meat and sliced meats such as
liver, thin chops, steaks, etc will be defrosted in 1-2
hours. The frozen food should be placed in a single
layer where possible and if necessary turned over
halfway through the defrosting process.
15
Joints of meat and poultry MUST BE THAWED
THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING. A 1'4kg (3lb)
oven-ready chicken may be thawed in approximately
5 hours using the defrost feature and the giblets
must be removed as soon as possible during the
thawing process.
Faster defrosting can be carried out using the
lower temperatures on the oven control dial (80/90°)
when the chicken will be thawed in 2-2% hours,
remove the giblets after 1-2 hours.
These methods of defrosting meat and poultry
using the fan oven are only applicable for joints up
to 2kg (4lb) in weight and ALWAYS COOK
THOROUGHLY, IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THAWING.
A medium size casserole or stew can be thawed
without heat using the defrost feature in 3-4 hours.
However, if time is short, the casserole may be
reheated without thawing first. Place into a cold
oven set at 180/190°C for 174-274 hours, depending
on the size and shape of the container. It will be
necessary to stir or break up the contents during the
heating process.
NOTE
Care must always be taken when handling foods in
the home. Always follow the basic rules of food
hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth
and cross contamination when defrosting, preparing,
cooking, cooling and freezing foods.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKING A COMPLETE MEAL
IN THE FAN OVEN
Many people today like to cook meat at comparatively low temperatures. When these lower temperatures
are used the joint is often more tender; also there is very little splashing of fat onto the oven interior during
cooking. When a ‘full meal’ including a joint, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and fruit pie is required, cooking
times may vary slightly according to the thickness of the joint and how 'well done' one likes the meat and
potatoes etc. Slight temperature adjustment may be necessary. We hope this will prove to be a useful guide to
your new cooker.
ROAST BEEF, ROAST POTATOES, YORKSHIRE PUDDING, APPLE PIE
Preparation
Beef 1% kg(3lb) Arrange on trivet in meat tin.
Potatoes 600g (1%ib) Brush with melted fat or oil, sprinkle with salt and
arrange around joint.
Yorkshire 250ml (‘4pt) Mix together 100g (402) plain flour and a pinch of salt.
Pudding pouring batter Gradually mix in a beaten egg and 250ml (‘4pt) milk
until smooth
Apple Pie 300g (120z) Shortcrust pastry.
1kg(2lb) Prepared fruit.
Sugar to taste.
Place fruit and sugar in 1 litre (2pt) oval pie dish
and cover the fruit with rolled out pastry.
Cooking
Pre-heat oven to 190?C.
Arrange Beef, Potatoes and Apple Pie in the oven as follows:
Beef and Potatoes Shelf position 1 low
Apple Pie Shelf position 4 low
Cook for approximately 50 minutes.
Remove pie and raise temperature to 200°C.
Yorkshire Pudding: Heat 25g (102) lard in a 23cm (Qin) square tin for approximately 5
minutes on shelf position 4. Pour in batter. Cook for 35 minutes approximately.
Total cooking time approximately: 1 hour 30 minutes.
These instructions are a guide only and should be altered to suit individual requirements. If the joint is
preferred very well cooked we suggest allowing an extra 15-30 minutes cooking time after removing the pie and
before cooking the Yorkshire pudding.
