cooker. In each case the cooker should be
operated using at least 6mm² twin core and earth
PVC insulated multicore cable. Please choose
from the most appropriate after reading the
different methods:-
a) By connecting the cooker to a cooker point
(having a double pole isolating switch with at
least 3mm contact separation in all poles and
neutral) and protected with a fuse or miniature
circuit breaker at your mains fuse box.
b) By connecting the cooker together with a hob
directly to a cooker point(s). Having a double
pole isolating switch with at least 3mm contact
separation in all poles and neutral.
c) If you wish to connect an oven and a hob to a
cooker point you can by connecting the oven and
hob separately to the cooker point. Oven and
hob units should be separately connected to a
control panel. See Fig. 1.

INTRODUCTION

RATING PLATE
Record the model, product and serial numbers of
your cooker on the back cover of this instruction
book. These numbers can be found on the lower
front frame of the cooker upon opening the 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.
GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE
OVENS
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.
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
When the cooker is first switched on at the wall the
timer will make an audible sound. To stop the sound
press both timer buttons together.
To set the time of day and use the minute minder
refer to instructions on page 17.
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.
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.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE
CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill
is switched on and after a short time when the oven
is in use. It runs on after the controls are switched off
until the cooker has cooled. During the initial period
the cooling fan may cycle ON and OFF, this is quite
normal.
Do not switch off the cooker at its power point before
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.
If the neons do 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.
15
INTRODUCTION

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill and oven furniture have
been supplied with the cooker.
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 grill deflector
1 meat tin
1 cranked shelf
(for grilling
and second
oven cooking only)
2 straight shelves
(for main oven
cooking)
Scuffing of the Stayclean oven lining 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.
16

Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example
2.00 pm 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. We have supplied a
plastic card as a quick reference when setting the
timer.
If the oven 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 'clock'.
Set the correct time by turning and holding the
setting knob clockwise. Adjust the time by turning the
setting knob in either direction.
Turn the selector knob back to 'manual'.
THINGS TO NOTE:
TO CHANGE THE AUDIBLE SIGNAL
When the right hand knob is turned anti-clockwise, a
choice of three audible signals are available. To
select the choice of signal required, rotate knob
anti-clockwise and release. Repeat procedure to
choose desired signal.
TO USE THE MINUTE MINDER
Turn the selector knob to 'timer'. 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
bell symbol will go out.
Switch off the alarm by turning the selector knob
to 'clock'. Then turn to 'manual' 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 'Auto' as soon as you
have entered the timed period into the display.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL
Important: 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. 17

THE TIMER

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 turn to 'clock'.
Turn the setting knob in either
direction.
3 How long will
the food take
to cook?
Turn the selector knob to 'cook'.
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.
Turn the selector knob to 'Stop'.
Turn the setting knob until the
time the oven is to switch off
shows in the display. The
cookpot ( ) will go out.
The 'Stop' 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 'Stop' time will
be 8.59 am the next day.
5 Set to
automatic. Turn the selector knob to 'Auto'.
6 Turn on the
oven control. Turn the oven control to the required temperature.
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 'clock'
and then to 'manual'.
18

l Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or
anticlockwise for the centre section only.
l Ensure the top oven control is in the OFF
position 'O'.
THINGS TO NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN
DURING GRILLING
1. The cooling fan for the controls will operate in
conjunction with the grill.
2. The outer grill element may appear to glow
slightly brighter than the inner element. This is
quite normal.
3. The dual grill operates independently of the oven.
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 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
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.
19
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 whole area of the grill can be used or, for economy purposes the
centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.
SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL
THE GRILL

HINTS AND TIPS
l 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. Food such as
fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on
the grill pan base if preferred.
l Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food. Position
the food close to the element for faster cooking
and further away for more gentle cooking.
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 Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
l When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used with the grid in its 'high'
position.
l 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.
l The food should be turned over during cooking
as required.
