WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the 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.
INSTALLATION
If your appliance has been damaged in transit,
contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt
to install it.
Your appliance 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
your supplier for advice.
Once the packaging has been removed the appliance
should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack
barrow or any other aid to lift the appliance 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.
The recommended cross-section area is six square
millimetres (6.00mm2).
The cable must be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the appliance, open the main oven door,
and lift the appliance by holding inside the top of the
compartment.
This is a type Y appliance 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 appliance 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 appliance is
required to enable the appliance 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
Air gap

Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time
cause discolouration of wallcoverings behind the
appliance. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable
to tile behind the appliance.
Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a
minimum of 685mm above the hob.
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level
after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the
appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
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. 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 wallcoverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
or top oven is switched on and after a time when the
main fan oven is in use. The operation of the cooling
fan is temperature dependent in the case of the main
oven and the cooling fan may not switch in at all at
low temperature settings or where the main oven has
only been used for a short time.
The cooling fan may run on after the control knobs
have been switched off until the appliance has
cooled. If an automatic programme has been set the
cooling fan does not come on until the cooktime
begins. Do not switch the appliance off at its power
point until the cooling fan has cooled the appliance
down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS
These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched
on.
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.
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 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.

6. THINGS TO NOTE
In the event of an interruption of the electricity
supply, the timer will reset itself to zero, and all
programming will be cancelled.
7. AUTOMATIC COOKING
It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as
short a time as possible before automatic
cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared
food is well within its use by date and that home
prepared food is fresh and of good quality.
When cooking is complete, do not leave food to
stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly
if the food is not to be consumed immediately.
Always ensure food in the oven has been
covered before cooking if it is not possible to
remove food immediately after cooking.

16
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A
FAULT OR CRACK BECOMES VISIBLE DURING COOKING, DISCONNECT THE
APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR
LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE.
USING THE HOB
·To operate the dual hotplate, turn the control
knob clockwise for the full area or anti-clockwise
for the centre section.
·The inner section is very economical when
cooking with small diameter saucepans.
·For single hotplates, 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. Choose a setting appropriate to the
quantity and type of food to be cooked.
·This model has the added feature of Rapid
Power Zone hotplates which react more quickly
than the other ceramic hotplates and are easily
identified by their instant red glow.
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
12.30

17
·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.
HOT HOB INDICATOR
The hob is fitted with a hot hob indicator light which
illuminates when the hob is too hot to touch. The
light will go OFF when the hob has cooled.
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

HINTS AND TIPS
·In order to become acquainted with the
performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to
check food regularly when grilling.
·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 thicknesses
of foods.
·Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
·When toasting bread use the shelf in position 2
with the grid in the high position.
·Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes
before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat
setting and the shelf as necessary during
cooking.
·The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.
·When using the centre section of the dual grill,
ensure food is positioned centrally on the grill
pan grid in the grill pan.
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 smaller 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 the lowest
setting on the top oven temperature control.
SELECTING THE TOP OVEN
·Turn the top oven function selector to.
·Turn the top oven temperature control to the
required setting.
·The cooling fan will operate immediately with the
top oven. For more details on cooling fan
operation see page 9.
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. The interior oven light will come on.
5. 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.
