WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers on the
back cover of this instruction book from the rating
plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the
cooker and can be seen upon opening the main oven
door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated
fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is
given on the rating plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker as
this may invalidate the guarantee.
INSTALLATION
If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact
your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install
it.
Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect
it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging
and damage has occurred, the manufacturer cannot
accept responsibility. Contact you supplier for advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the cooker
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage
may occur.
Connection to the electricity supply must be carried
out by a qualified electrician/competent person.
The electrical connection should be made using a
double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at
least 3mm contact separation in all poles. The cable
must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-
sectional area to prevent overheating and
deterioration.

r
re ec co om mm me en nd de ed d c cr ro os ss s- -s se ec ct ti io on n a ar re ea a. .
The cable must be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the cooker, open the main oven door, and
lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
This is a type Y cooker which means it is free-
standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one or
both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.
Ensure that the cooker is standing level.
Side walls which are above hob level should be
protected by heat resistant non-combustible material
and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob
side.
A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the cooker is
required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position.
Always ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate
level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering
should not obscure this gap.
INTRODUCTION

Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time
cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the
cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to
tile behind the cooker.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the cooker is level after
installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the appliance
to accommodate uneven floors.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 –
15 minutes at 220oC to burn off any residue from
their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated
with the grill for approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
During this period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam similar to a
boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the cooker when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface
on the outside of the cooker, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the cooker.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the
cooker should be securely fixed to the wall.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill
or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the
controls are switched off until the appliance has
cooled.
Note: The action of the cooling fan will depend on
how long the top oven or grill have been used and at
what temperature. It may not run on where the grill
or top oven has been used for a short time or at low
temperatures. Do not switch the cooker off at its
power point until the cooling fan has cooled the
cooker down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the grill or ovens are
switched on.
In the case of the ovens, the neons also indicate
when the set temperature has been reached. They
will turn on and off during use to show that the
temperature is being maintained.
The grill indicator neon may turn on and off during
use.
If the neons do not operate as the instructions
indicate the controls have been incorrectly set.
Return all controls to zero and re-set following the
instructions for the required setting.
When the main oven has been set for automatic
cooking the neon will remain unlit until the cooktime
begins.
COOKWARE
Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm
(12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat
and may affect performance.

Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example
2.00pm is shown as 1400.
In the following pages we explain how to set the
controls. Read through them a few times until you
are familiar with the procedure.
If the cooker is switched off on the wall, or there is a
loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be
able to use the main oven. When you first switch the
electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.
TO SET THE TIME OF DAY
Turn the selector knob to ‘Manual’ then turn to ‘Time
Setting’.
Set the correct time by tuning and holding the setting
knob clockwise. Adjust the time by turning the
setting knob in either direction.
Turn the selector knob back to ‘Manual’.
TO USE THE MINUTE MINDER
Turn the selector knob to ‘Countdown’. Turn the
setting knob clockwise until the display shows the
time you want. The bell symbol ( ) will be showing
and this will stay lit up during the time. Our diagram
shows the timer set to 5 minutes.
If you change your mind and want to cancel the time
you have set, simply turn the setting knob
anticlockwise. Then turn the selector to ‘Manual’.
When you are using the minute minder you can make
the clock show the time of day by turning the selector
knob to ‘Manual’. The bell symbol will stay on to
remind you that the minute minder is set. At the end
of the timed period an alarm will sound and the time
of day will show in the display.
Note:
You can use the minute minder when an automatic
sequence has been set, as long as you remember
the following point.
1 Turn the selector knob to ‘Automatic’ as soon as
you have entered the timed period into the
display.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL
You can only use the automatic control for the main
oven. When you use the automatic controls for the
first time it’s probably best to choose a time when
you are at home. That way you can check to make
sure you’ve set everything correctly and you’ll feel
much more confident when you are away from home
in the future.

SETTING THE CONTROLS FOR
AUTOMATIC USE
This is very easy. All you have to do is work through
the steps below. The clock will work out the rest for
itself.
1 Is the electricity supply on?
2 Is the clock
showing the
correct time?
To adjust turn the selector knob
to ‘Manual’ then to ‘Time
Setting’. Turn the setting knob in
either direction.
3 How long Turn the selector knob to ‘Cook
Time’. Then turn the setting knob
until the length of time you want
the food to cook shows in the
display. The maximum cooking
time is 10 hours. ‘Auto’ will
show in the display.
4 What time do Turn the selector knob to ‘End
Time’. Turn the setting knob
until the time the oven is to
switch off shows in the display.
The cookpot ( ) will go out.
The ‘End Time’ must not be
more than 23 hours 59 minutes
from the time of day. For
example if the time of day is 9.00
am the latest ‘End Time’ will be
8.59 am the next day.
5 Set to Turn the selector knob to
‘Automatic’.
6 Turn on the Turn the oven control to the
required setting.
The time shown on the right gives an example of
setting the automatic controls when the time is 9.00
am, the food is to be cooked for 2½ hours and the
food is needed at 6.00 pm (1800 hours).
The clock will work out what time the oven will switch
itself on and it will turn the oven off at the end. Once
the automatic sequence is finished there will be an
alarm to remind you that you need to set the oven for
manual operation. To do this turn the selector knob
to ‘Manual’. Turn off the oven control.
If you change your mind and want to cancel a
programme that you have set simply turn to ‘Time
Setting’ and then to ‘Manual’.

14
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE COOKER IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A
FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE COOKER
IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR LOCAL
SERVICE FORCE CENTRE.
USING THE HOB
·To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in
either direction to vary the heat setting.
·The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number the coolest
setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the
quantity and type of food to be cooked.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality saucepans
with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended. The saucepan base should be
approximately the same size as the cooking area, a
base diameter of up to 225mm (9”) may be used on a
180mm (7”) heated area.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to
remove edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used
even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases
are available and do comply with the above
recommendations.
NOTE
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch
ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being
used. This is due to a safety device which prevents
the glass from overheating.
Some switching ON and OFF when cooking at high
temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal,
causes no damage to the hob and little delay in
cooking times.
Excessive switching may however be caused by the
use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which
is smaller than the heated area. If excessive
switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.
HINTS AND TIPS
·Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
heated areas. This will reduce the risk of
scratches and metal marks from saucepans with
aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily
cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn
on.
·Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
·Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
THE CERAMIC HOB

15
·To prolong the life of the hotplates:-
·Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.
·Never use an asbestos mat.
·Never leave the hotplates ON when not
covered with a saucepan.
·Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean
and dry before the start of cooking to reduce
cleaning.
·Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to
keep the hob looking like new.
·If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.
jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the
hob before it sets and becomes hard
otherwise damage to the hob will occur.
DEEP FAT FRYING
SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:
For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan
one third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid
and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the
unfortunate event of a fire, switch the cooker OFF at
the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or
damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool
for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
DO NOT leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the
hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently
switched ON.
1. Preparing the food.
Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and
breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with
batter coated foods as they will stick.
2. Amount of oil.
For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full
of oil.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil.
It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the
temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small
cube of bread into the oil which should brown in
just under a minute if the oil is at the correct
temperature of 190°C/375°F.
4. Cooking the food.
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do Not add
too much food at once or the temperature of the
oil will be reduced and may result in soggy,
greasy food.
Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the
surface so will not brown on the upperside if not
turned. Once cooked, drain the food on
absorbent paper.
5. Double frying chips.
Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the
chips for a few minutes at 170°C/340°F to seal
the outside. Remove the chips from the oil.
Increase the temperature of the oil to
190°C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the
chips.
Chips may be kept for several hours after the first
frying before finishing off with the second frying.

PRESERVING
1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of
the hob trim.
2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be
no more than one third full when all the
ingredients have been added. It is better to use
two pans rather than overfill one, or use half
quantities.
3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before
using.
4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however
granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally
good flavour.
5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not
completely dissolved before bringing jam to the
boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting
properties and colour of the jam.
6. To test jam for setting:
If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to
104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.
If a jam thermometer is not available, remove
pan from heat, place sample of jam on a cold
dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen
food storage compartment of a refrigerator).
When cold it will crinkle and hold the mark of a
finger run through it, if it is at setting point.
7. The scum should be removed as soon as
possible after setting point has been reached.
Marmalade should be allowed to cool before
potting to prevent the peel rising.

16
USES OF THE GRILL
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
SELECTING THE GRILL
·To operate the grill open the grill door and turn
the Top Oven/Grill control to the required setting.
·The Top Oven/Grill neon will illuminate. It may
turn on and off during cooking.
·At lower settings the grill may turn on and off
over time and you may prefer to use these
settings for keeping food warm.
THINGS TO NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING. IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED THE TOP
OVEN WILL OPERATE.
·If the grill door is accidentally closed during
grilling, a safety device incorporated in the
cooker will cut out the grill.
·The cooling fan will operate. For more details
about the cooling fan see page 9.
·Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident
as the grill cleans itself.
·The top oven cannot be operated when the grill
is in use.
·The inner element may appear to glow slightly
brighter than the outer element. This is quite
normal.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the
cut out in the pan so that the metal hooks over the
top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump
on the grill pan.
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not
necessary to remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right
and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill
pan.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill.
THE GRILL

17
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking.
HINTS AND TIPS
·Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish
lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.
·Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan
runner position to allow for different foods.
·Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
·When toasting bread use the shelf in position 1
with the grid in the high position.
·Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes
before cooking. Adjust the heat setting and
runner position as necessary during cooking.
·The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.
·NOTE
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan,
this can be ordered from your local Service Force
Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.

USES OF THE TOP OVEN
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is
designed for cooking on one level and for small quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook
fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a
temperature setting of 80°C -100°C on the top oven control.
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN
To operate the top oven turn the temperature control
to the required setting. Our diagram shows the oven
set to 150°C. Close the oven door.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is
in use. Only the outer part of the top oven
element in conjunction with the base element will
operate when using the top oven.
2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will then turn ON and OFF
showing that the oven temperature is being
maintained.
3. The cooling fan will operate. For more details
about the cooling fan see page 9.
4. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm.
Never place dishes directly on the top oven base
as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

HINTS AND TIPS
·Most cooking should be carried out using an
oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
·Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be
cooked in the main oven. However, they may be
cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the
top oven provided there is sufficient room for air
circulation around the food.
·Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on
the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base
and to help reduce cleaning.
·There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)
between the top of the food and the element.
This gives best cooking results and allows room
for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc.
·When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc.,
place the tins or baking trays centrally on the
shelf directly below the element.
·DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly
onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage may occur.
·The material and finish of the baking trays and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning of
the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat
away and give less base browning.
·DO NOT use the grill pan as a baking tray as this
will increase base browning of the food.
·Because of the smaller cooking space, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations on page 22.
·For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.

USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven
and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fan
oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without
preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the
oven first.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperature
recommended in the chart on page 22. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own
recipes.
BATCH BAKING
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.
SELECTING THE FAN OVEN
·Turn the main fan oven temperature control to
the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The main oven indicator neon will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically
during cooking showing that the temperature is
being maintained.
2. The interior oven light will come ON when the
main oven control is turned.
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES
The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods
uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the
back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt
and safety stop mechanism will be affected.
