Telephone [phone]

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.
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 your 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. The cable must have
conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to
prevent overheating and deterioration.
Six square millimetres (6.00mm²) is the
recommended cross-section area.
The cable should be routed away from potentially hot
areas marked by X in the diagram below.
To move the cooker, open the main oven door,
remove the grill deflector and lift the cooker by
holding inside the top of the oven compartment.
This is a type Y appliance which means it is
free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one
or both sides. If may also be fitted in a corner
setting.
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 at the sides of the cooker
is required to enable the cooker to be moved into
position.
A spacer has been incorporated into the back of the
appliance to ensure an air gap of 10mm is
maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of
deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.
8
WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED
INTRODUCTION

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 front
of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
REVERSIBLE MAIN OVEN DOOR
If you require the oven door to be hinged on the
opposite side, you will need to contact a qualified
Service Engineer. See page 34 for your nearest
Service Centre. PLEASE NOTE that a charge will
be made.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR
COOKER
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short
period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
To do this, run the ovens at 220°C for approximately
45 minutes. The procedure should be repeated with
the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.
During this period an unpleasant 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 ovens are 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
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
POP IN POP OUT CONTROL KNOBS
These control knobs can remain flush with the
control panel when not in use, or pushed and
released to stand out from the panel for easy
operation.
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. If an automatic programme has been set the
cooling fan does not switch on until the cook time
begins.
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 only been used for a short time or at
low temperatures. Do not switch the cooker off at
the power point, until the fan has cooled the cooker
down.
THE SHELF POSITIONS
Recommended shelf positions have been shown in
the cooking charts on pages 22 and 26.
Bulk cooking with even spacing can be achieved
using three shelves at any one time, e.g. position 1
straight, position 3 straight and position 5 straight.
It is important that the shelves are fitted right
side uppermost and are between the wirework
side runners.
If not fitted correctly the shelf will lie at an angle and
the safety stop will not be effective. To ensure that
the shelf has the correct side uppermost, the wire
stringers which make up the shelf should lie on top of
the surrounding frame.
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 cycle 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. When the oven has been
set for automatic cooking the neon should remain
unlit until the cook time begins.

l To operate the dual hotplate, pop out and
turn the control knob clockwise for the full
area, or anti-clockwise for the centre section.
l The inner section is very economical when
cooking with smaller diameter saucepans.
l For single hotplates, push in and turn the
control knob in either direction to vary the
heat setting. The highest number represents
the hottest setting and the lowest represents
the coolest setting. Choose a setting
appropriate to the quantity and type of food to
be cooked.
l 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 (9in) may be used on
a 180mm (7in) 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.
15
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 THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE.
USING THE HOTPLATES
THE CERAMIC HOB
PROGRAMMER
MAIN OVEN
FUNCTION

HINTS AND TIPS
l 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.
l Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to
recommended heat settings.
l Avoid using thin badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
l To prolong the life of hotplates:-
l Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.
l Never use an asbestos mat.
l Never leave the hotplates ON when not
covered with a saucepan.
l Ensure that hob and saucepans are clean and
dry before the start of cooking to reduce
cleaning.
l Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to
keep the hob looking like new.
ll 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 ceramic 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
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 from the surface of the preserve after
setting point has been reached. Marmalade
should be allowed to cool before potting to
prevent the peel rising.
17

l To operate the dual grill pop out and turn the
grill control clockwise for full area grilling and
anti-clockwise for centre section grilling only.
l The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest the coolest setting.
l The cooling fan will operate in conjunction
with the grill. For more details on the
operation of the cooling fan see page 9.
NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.
The outer grill element may appear to glow slightly
brighter than the inner element. This is quite normal.
The top oven cannot be operated when the grill is in
use. If the grill and top oven controls are selected at
the same time, only the top oven will operate.
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 widest part of the bracket. Move
the handle towards the left, lower into position and
release the button.
Ensure the handle is positively located.
When removing 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.
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.
18
USES OF THE DUAL GRILL
CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD
BE KEPT AWAY.
The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or alternatively the centre section
only can be used for economy purposes when cooking smaller quantities of food.
SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL
THE DUAL GRILL
PROGRAMMER
MAIN OVEN
FUNCTION

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.
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to
food during cooking or the carrier shelf can be lifted
away from the cooker and rested on a heat resistant
work surface.
HINTS AND TIPS
l 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.
l Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill
pan runner position to allow for different
foods.
l The use of the trivet beneath the grid when
grilling fatty food will keep fat splashing to a
minimum.
l Place food on the grill pan grid in the grill pan
or directly on the trivet in the grill pan.
l Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
l When toasting bread use the cranked shelf in
position 3 with the grid in the high position.
l Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust

l Pop out and turn the top oven temperature
control to the required setting.
l The cooling fan will operate immediately with the
top oven. For more details on cooling fan
operation see page 9.
l The top oven light will illuminate .
NOTE
1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is
in use. If the grill and top oven controls are
selected at the same time, only the top oven will
operate.
2. The top oven neon indicator will glow until the
oven has reached the desired temperature and
then go out. It will then cycle ON and OFF
showing that the oven temperature is being
maintained.
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
l Most cooking should be carried out using an
oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.
l Single level cooking gives best results. If you
require more than one level cooking use the fan
or zoned oven functions.
l Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be
cooked in the main oven. However, they may be
cooked on a flat shelf placed on the top oven
base provided there is sufficient room for air
circulation around the food.

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 goods 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 - 100°C on the top oven control dial.
