Before using the appliance
Rating plate
This is situated on the lower front frame of
the appliance and can be seen upon
opening the door. Alternatively the rating
plate may also be found on the back or top
of some models (where applicable).
The appliance must be protected by a
suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The
rating of the appliance is given on the rating
plate.
Do not remove the rating plate from the
appliance as this may invalidate the
guarantee.
Preparing to use your
appliance
Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft
cloth and hot soapy water and wash the
furniture before use. We suggest that you
run the oven(s) and grill for 10 – 15 minutes
at maximum temperature, to burn off any
residue from their surfaces. Accessible parts
may become hotter than in normal use.
Children should be kept away. During this
period an odour may be emitted, it is
therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
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.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam
similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow
some of this steam to escape.
However, always stand back from the
appliance when opening the door(s) 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.
Cookware
Baking trays, 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.
Grill and oven furniture
The following items of grill and oven furniture
have been supplied with the appliance.
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 straight shelf
(for grilling)
2 straight shelves
(for fan oven
cooking)

The sealed hotplates
Before using the hotplates for
the first time
Turn the control knob to a high setting and
allow the hotplate to heat, uncovered by a
saucepan for 3-5 minutes. This hardens the
protective coating on the hotplates and
makes it more resistant to normal use. A
harmless smoke will be given off from the
hotplates
Using the hob
• Turn the control knob in either direction
to vary the heat setting.
• The highest number represents the
hottest setting and the lowest number
represents the coolest setting.
Recommended saucepans
Only saucepans with flat bases and close
fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan
base should be approximately the same size
as the cooking area. Ensure that new
saucepans are well scrubbed to remove
edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
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 the use of decorative covers as
they can cause condensation to form on
the hotplates which may lead to
deterioration.
• 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.
• 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.

The grill
CAUTION – Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is in use.
Young children should be kept
away.
Using the grill
• To operate the grill open the grill door
and turn the grill to.
The grill door must be left open
when grilling.
Things to note
• The indicator neon will glow.
• Some smoke from fat splashes may be
evident as the grill cleans itself.
Never cover the grill pan or grid
with foil as this can lead to grill
fires.
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 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 properly
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.
Protect your hands when
removing the grill pan handle.
Always remove the grill pan
handle during grilling.
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
• Most foods should be placed on the grid
in the grill pan to allow maximum
circulation of air to lift the food out of the
fats and juices.
• Adjust grid and grill pan runner position
to allow for different thicknesses of
foods.
• 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.
• 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 five
minutes before cooking. Adjust the heat
setting and shelf as necessary during
cooking.
• The food should be turned over during
cooking as required.
