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. PLEASE NOTE that a charge
will be made.
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 wall coverings at the rear of the
appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of grill/oven furniture have
been supplied with the appliance. If you require
replacements of any of the items listed below,
please contact your local Service Force Centre
quoting the relevant part number.
1 grill pan
(311409401)
1 grill pan handle
(311468100)
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

BEFORE USING THE HOTPLATES FOR THE FIRST TIME
Turn the control knob to a medium/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.
•To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in
either direction to vary the heat setting.
•The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number 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.
To check the flatness of the saucepan, place a ruler
across the pan base, hold at eye level and look for
light showing. There should be very little or no light
visible between the ruler and the pan base.
The size of the base of the saucepan should be the
same or up to 2.5cm/1 inch larger than the hotplate.
If the base is too small, energy will be wasted,
boilovers will also be more difficult to deal with as
spillage will fall directly onto the 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 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 as they can lead to sticking and
burning of food.
•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.
THE SEALED HOTPLATES

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 be
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°
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.

200 390
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 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.

15
USES OF THE GRILL
CAUTION – ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE.
CHLDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.
SELECTING THE GRILL
•Turn the grill control to the required setting.
•The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number the coolest
setting.
NOTE
THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING
GRILLING.
The cranked shelf MUST only be used in the grilling
compartment, but a straight shelf from the oven may
be used to provide alternative positions.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the
cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over
the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump
on the grill pan.
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not
necessary to remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right
and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill
pan.
THE GRILL

16
To check the progress of the food being grilled, the
grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to tend the
food during cooking, or the carrier shelf can be lifted
away from the appliance and rested on a heat
resistant work surface.
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 grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different foods.
•Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
•When toasting bread use the cranked 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.
•Thefoodshouldbeturnedoverduringcooking
as required.
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.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight adjustments may be
required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat. However, lower temperatures and
longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints.
Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 20 – 30 min. cooking time.

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.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Regularly wipe
over the control panel, splashback, oven doors and
cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF
THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE
PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
CLEANING THE SEALED HOTPLATES
AND HOTPLATE TRIMS
In order to maintain the appearance of your
appliance's sealed hotplates and trims, you are
advised to use the recommended cleaning agents
daily. If you do not allow spillages to burn on they
will be much easier to clean off.
THINGS TO NOTE
The red spot in the centre of the hotplates may be
removed with some abrasive cleaning agents. This
is not a fault and does not affect the performance of
the hotplates.
FOR NORMAL SOILAGE
Wipe over the hotplates and trims using a clean
damp cloth then switch to a low or medium setting for
a few minutes to thoroughly dry.
FOR HEAVY SOILAGE
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer with a cream
cleaner e.g. ‘Cif’ or a powder cleaner e.g. ‘Ajax’ on
the hotplate and trims. Follow the circular grooved
pattern on the hotplate when cleaning. Rinse off
cleaning agents thoroughly. Dry as for normal
soilage.
For more stubborn marks warm the hotplate on a low
setting for 30 seconds. Clean the sealed plate with
‘Ajax’ powder cleaner, ‘Cif’ cream cleaner or a ‘Brillo’
pad. You may have to rub hard for several minutes.
Rinse off cleaning agents thoroughly with a damp
cloth. Switch to a low or medium setting for a few
minutes until the hotplate is thoroughly dry.
CLEANING THE HOTPLATE TRIMS
The stainless steel trims may become straw coloured
during use. Using a proprietary stainless steel
cleaner, e.g. ‘Shiny Sinks’ will help maintain a bright
appearance. Alternatively a powder cleaner such as
‘Bar Keepers Friend’ may be used regularly.
CLEANING THE VITREOUS ENAMEL
Use a clean damp cloth or scourer made for non-
stick saucepans with ‘Cif’ or cream cleaner.
AFTER CLEANING
To maintain the appearance of the hotplates
occasionally apply a little salt free vegetable oil or
commercial restorative agent.
To apply vegetable oil, first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn OFF. Pour
a very small amount of oil onto kitchen paper, apply
the paper to the hotplate and wipe off any excess oil.
Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.
To apply restorative agent, apply a thin coating of ‘4
Hob’ or use a ‘Minky’ Hotplate Cleaning Cloth
following the manufacturers instructions.
