Before using the appliance
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.
Preparing to use your appliance
•Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft
cloth using hot soapy water. 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.
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 may run on after
the controls are switched off until the
appliance has cooled.
•During the initial period the cooling fan may
turn on and off, this is quite normal.
WARNING!
Always allow the cooling fan to cool the
appliance down before switching off at the
wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
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 foodstuff 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.

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.
The grill
WARNING!
CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when
the grill is in use. Young 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 for economy
purposes, the centre section only can be used
when cooking smaller quantities of food.
Using the dual grill
•Turn the top oven/grill function selector to the
required power setting.
The grill settings are as follows: -
Centre grill area at full power.
Full grill area at full power.
•Turn the top oven/grill temperature control
to the right as far as it will go. This is the
hottest setting.
•To use the grill at a lower setting turn the
top oven/grill temperature control knob to a
lower setting.
Things to note
•To oven light will illuminate.
•The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on and
off during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.

handle bracket locates over the front bar of the
shelf.
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 fruitcakes, sweets and
savoury flans or quiche.
The top oven is ideal for use as a warming
compartment. It can be used to warm dishes
and keep food hot. Use the lowest setting on
the top oven temperature control.
Using the top oven
•Turn the top oven/grill function selector to
the required setting .
•Turn the top oven/grill temperature control
to the required setting.
Things to note
•The oven light will illuminate.
•The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on
and off during use to show that the setting
is being maintained.
•The cooling fan for the controls may
operate after a time.
WARNING!
Do not place dishes, tins and trays directly
on the oven base as it becomes very hot and
damage will 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.
To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you
until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at
the front so that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear.

12
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.
Each shelf position has an upper and lower
support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between
these two support wires.
WARNING!
Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.
The fan oven
The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking
larger quantities of food.
The advantages of fan oven cooking are:
Preheating
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature,
so it is not usually necessary to preheat the
oven. Without preheating however, you may
need to add an extra 5 – 10 minutes on the
recommended cooking times. For recipes
needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries,
scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved
if the oven is preheated first. For best results
when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready
meals always preheat the oven first.
Cooking temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the
cooking chart. As a guide reduce temperatures
by about 20°C – 25°C for your own recipes,
using a conventional oven.
Batch baking
The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels,
especially useful when batch baking.
Using the fan oven
•Turn the main oven temperature control to
the required setting .
Things to note
•The oven light will illuminate.
•The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on
and off during use to show that the setting
is being maintained.
•The cooling fan for the controls may
operate after a time.
WARNING!
Do not place cookware and cooking pots
with rough bases e.g. cast iron on the oven
door as damage to the glass may occur.
To fit the main oven shelves
The shelves should be fitted with the straight
rods uppermost on the frame and the forms
towards the back of the oven.
Back of the oven
Frame
Straight Rods
To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you
until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at
the front so that the stops clear the side
supports. Lift shelf clear.
To install a shelf, reverse the above steps.
Each shelf position has an upper and lower
support wire, ensure the shelf is placed between
these two support wires.

13
Defrost
This function defrosts most foods faster than
more conventional methods. It is particularly
suitable for delicate frozen foods, which are to
be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes
covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes,
biscuits, scones, etc.
Using the defrost feature
•Turn the main oven temperature control to
the required setting.
Things to note
The oven fan and interior light will come on.

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.

Hints and tips
Hints and tips when using the grill
•Most foods should be placed on the grid in
the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of
air and to lift the food out of the fats and
juices.
•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 gentler
cooking.
•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 the top
position 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 grill, ensure
food is placed centrally on the grilling grid
directly beneath the grill element.
Hints and tips when using the top
oven
•Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf
positions are counted from the bottom
upwards.
•There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”)
between the top of the food and the element.
This gives best cooking results and allows
room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire
puddings etc. When cooking cakes, pastry,
scones bread etc., place the tins or baking
trays centrally on the shelf.
•Ensure that food is placed centrally on the
shelf and there is sufficient room around the
baking tray/dish to allow for maximum
circulation.
•Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray
on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven
base and to help reduce cleaning.
•The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes used affect base browning.
Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick
utensils increase base browning. Shiny
aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the
heat away and give less base browning.
•Because of the smaller cooking space and
lower temperatures, shorter cooking times
are sometimes required. Be guided by the
recommendations given in the cooking chart.
•For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when
placing food into a pre-heated oven.

18
Hints and tips when using fan
cooking
•Arrange the shelves in the required positions
before switching the oven on. Shelf
positions are counted from the bottom
upwards.
•When cooking more than one dish in the fan
oven, place dishes centrally on different
shelves rather than cluster several dishes on
one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate
freely for the best cooking results.
•When batch baking one type of food, e.g.
Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size
will be cooked in the same time.
•It is recommended that when baking larger
quantities the shelf positions should be
evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked.
A slight increase in cooking time may be
necessary.
•Do not place baking trays directly on the
oven base as it interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to base burning; use
the lower shelf position.
Hints and tips when defrosting
•Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
•The actual speed of defrosting is influenced
by room temperature. On warm days
defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.
•It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry
slowly in the fridge. However, this process
can be accelerated by using the defrost
function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen
peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver,
thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 –
2 hours.
•A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be
thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove

What to do if…
Please carry out the following checks on your
appliance before calling a Service Engineer. It
may be that the problem is a simple one which
you can solve yourself without the expense of a
service call.
In-guarantee customers should make sure
that the checks have been made as the
engineer will make a charge if the fault is not
a mechanical or electrical breakdown.
Please note that proof of purchase is
required for in-guarantee service calls.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION
The grill, ovens and timer do not work. Check that the appliance has been wired in
to the appliance supply and is switched on at
the wall.
Check that the main appliance fuse is
working.
If you have checked the above:
Allow the appliance to cool for a couple of
hours. The appliance should now be working
normally.
The grill and top oven work but the main
oven does not. Check that the time of day has been set on the clock. Check that the oven is set for
manual cooking.
The grill does not work or cuts out after being
used for a long period of time. Ensure the cooling fan is running when the grill is on. If the cooling fan fails, the grill will
not operate correctly. Contact your local
service force centre.
Leave the grill door open and allow the grill
to cool. After a couple of hours check that
the grill works as normal
The timer does not work. Check that the instructions for the operation
of the timer are being closely followed.
The indicator neons are not working
correctly. Check that you have selected only the function you require. Ensure all other
controls are in the off position.
