INTRODUCTION

8
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
APPLIANCE
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 between the wall and the rear of
the appliance. However, always stand back from the
appliance 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 appliance, e.g. a trim, it will
condense and produce water droplets. This is quite
normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)
The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator
neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon
does not operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set. Return all
controls to zero and reset following the instructions
for the required setting.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill/oven furniture have been
supplied with the appliance:
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 spillage tray
2 straight shelves
for oven cooking
The spillage tray sits above the grill element and
prevents fat slashing onto the grill roof.
The spillage tray may be easily removed for cleaning.
Scuffing of the Stayclean oven side linings by the
oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These
marks will disappear after the oven elements have
been burnt off for the first time.

USING THE HOB
·To operate the hotplates, turn the control knobs
clockwise from the OFF position (0) to the
required setting.
·The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number represents 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 cover the hotplate as
much as possible. A base diameter of up to 225mm
(9") may be used on a 180mm (7") hotplate.
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.
HINTS AND TIPS
·Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
hob to help reduce scratches and maintain the
efficiency of the hotplates.
·Avoid placing fish kettles or large preserving
pans across two hotplates as this may cause
damage.
·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 RADIANT HOB

11
·To prolong the life of the hotplates:
·Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.
·Never use an asbestos mat.
·Never line the spillage tray with foil.
·Never leave the hotplates ON when not
covered with a saucepan.
·For full details on deep fat frying and preserving
refer to instructions.
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 appliance 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.

12
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.
CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
·To operate the grill, turn the grill control
clockwise from the 'OFF' position (0) to the
required setting.
·The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number represents the
coolest setting.
NOTE:
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
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 right to remove from
the bracket.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE GRILL PAN HANDLE
DURING GRILLING.
To correctly locate the grill pan ensure the pan
locates into the runners in the grill compartment side
panels. There are two alternative positions.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking.
THE GRILL

13
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 thicknesess
of foods.
·Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
·When toasting bread use the top runner position.
·Adjust the grill pan to suit. Preheat the grill on a
full setting for a few minutes before cooking.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as
necessary during cooking.
·The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.

·To operate the oven turn the oven control to the
required temperature.
THINGS TO NOTE
The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and
OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.
TO FIT THE OVEN SHELVES
The shelves 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
·Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions
are numbered from the bottom upwards.
·The oven is fitted with side elements. The top of
the oven is the hottest part of the oven and the
bottom the coolest.
·Avoid placing food too close to the side element
oven linings to prevent scorching.
·Do not line any part of the oven with foil as it
may cause damage or interfere with the air
circulation.
For best results always:-
·Preheat the oven until the indicator neon goes
out.
·For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time particularly when placing food into
a pre-heated oven.

ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY AT THE MAIN WALL SWITCH
AND ALLOW THE APPLIANCE TO COOL
BEFORE CLEANING.
CLEANING MATERIALS
Before using any cleaning materials on your
appliance, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE
APPLIANCE
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, or
scourers on the outside of the appliance as some of
the finishes are painted and damage may occur.
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors
and appliance sides using a soft cloth and liquid
detergent.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE
CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS
THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY
HAZARD.
CLEANING THE HOB AND HOTPLATE
TRIMS
Clean the hob surface with liquid detergent or a mild
abrasive cleaner.
The chrome hotplate trims are removable for
cleaning, and can be washed in the dishwasher. The
chrome hotplate supports should NOT be removed.
CLEANING THE HOB AND HOTPLATE
TRIMS
Clean the hob surface with liquid detergent or a mild
abrasive cleaner, e.g. Cif.
The chrome hotplate trims are removable for
cleaning, and can be washed in the dishwasher. The
chrome hotplate supports should NOT be removed.
CLEANING THE SPILLAGE TRAY, GRILL
AND OVEN FURNITURE
All removable parts, except the Stayclean oven
panels and grill pan handle can be washed in the
dishwasher.
The grill pan, grill pan grid, spillage tray and oven
shelves can be cleaned using a soap impregnated
steel wool pad. Soaking first in hot soapy water will
make cleaning easier.
CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND
GRILL COMPARTMENTS
The vitreous enamel in the grill compartment and on
the oven top, base and back can be cleaned using
normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with
care.
Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are
followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean
surfaces and must not come into contact with
elements as this may cause damage.
CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES
Your appliance has oven linings coated with a special
finish to help make cleaning the oven easier.
The Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and
fats when the oven temperature is raised to around
220°c.
It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two
per week to ensure continued good performance
from the Stayclean finish.
THINGS TO NOTE
When operating the appliance at higher temperatures
than used in normal cooking the surfaces of the
appliance may get hotter than usual. Children should
be kept away.
CARE AND CLEANING

18
HINTS AND TIPS
·Manual cleaning of the Stayclean surfaces IS
NOT recommended. Damage will occur if
abrasives or aerosol sprays of any kind are used.
·Slight discolouration and polishing of the
Stayclean surfaces may occur in time. This
DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in
any way.
·A good time to allow the oven to run on is after
the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn
the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour
or so. It is important not to allow a build-up of
soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean
surfaces from working.
·Follow the recommendations below to keep oven
soilage to a minimum.
·Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher
temperatures during roasting will increase
soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an
increased length of time, you will save energy
and often the joint is more tender.
·Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting
meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat
before cooking. Extra fat in the oven during
roasting will increase splashing and soilage.
·It is not necessary to add water to a meat tin
when roasting. The water and the fat juices from
the joint create excessive splattering during
cooking, even at normal temperatures, as well as
causing condensation.
·Covering joints during cooking will also prevent
splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing
the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow
extra browning if required. Some large joints and
turkeys especially benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before
the outside is over-browned.
