plate.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BEEARTHED
Positioning the Cooker
460 mm (18 in) models-
Allow an air gap of at least 10 mm (%”)
between the cooker and adjacent cabinets,
walls, etc. This will also give extra space
when moving the cooker for cleaning.
Some models have rollers fitted to the rear
to assist when moving the cooker.
550 mm (21 in) models -
The cooker has adjustable feet to assist in
positioning the cooker and is designed to
slot-in between kitchen cabinets.
The space either side need only be
sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker
for servicing or cleaning.
It can be fitted with cabinets on one or both
sides as well as in a corner setting. It can
also be situated as a free-standing model.
Adjacent side walls which project above
hob level, should be protected by heat
resistant material, but in any case should
not be nearer to the cooker than 75 mm (3
in). Any overhanging surface or cooker
hood should not be nearer than 685 mm (27
in) above the hob.
Some models have rollers fitted to the rear
to assist when moving the cooker.
To move the cooker, open the oven door
and raise the cooker by lifting the inside top
of the oven. Do not move the cooker by
pulling the top compartment door or door
handle.
Before Use
Record the model and serial numbers on
the back of this leaflet.
Please ensure that any protective film and
all packaging has been removed from the
cooker before switching on.
Allow all elements to run for a short period
to burn off any residue from the surfaces of
the elements. If the odour emitted during
the initial burning off is unpleasant, it may
be necessary to open a window for
ventilation.
During Use
This cooker has passed all the approved
temperature and safety requirements.
However, when using various parts of the
cooker, certain areas may become hot.
Manual Control
If your cooker is fitted with a timer control
and the oven indicator light does not glow
when the oven control dial is turned on, it is
most likely that the cooker is set for
automatic cooking.
To return the cooker to manual operation:
For the Fully Automatic Timer
Control
(with start and stop knobs)
Turn the clock through 12 hours and push
in the STOP knob. Alternatively turn the
START and STOP knobs to the time set on

Reversible Main Oven Door
On some models the main oven door of the cooker can be changed from left to right hand
hinging, if required.
This is a reasonably simple operation if carried out in accordance with these instructions.
1 pozi-drive screwdriver and 1 small adjustable spanner are needed.
(i) Open door wide and support whilst removing the two screws from the top L.H. hinge
bracket. Remove hinge bracket and place to one side. Having done so, the door can now
be lifted off the bottom hinge pin (A).
(ii) Remove the eight screws that secure the inner door panel to the outer door panel, and
remove the inner panel being careful not to disturb the insulation material (B).
(iii) The inner door panel can now be turned through 180°. The door latch roller assembly
will then be on the opposite end of the door (L.H.). Replace and secure inner door panel to
outer door panel (C).
(iv) Remove button plugs and hinge bushes (top and bottom) and transfer positions (D).
(v) The upper L.H. hinge bracket (already removed) should now be transfered to the R.H.
lower position (E).
(vi) Remove the door catch striker and plate from R.H. side of chassis (F).
Remove blanking screw from L.H. side of chassis (H).
Replace blanking screws to R.H. side of chassis.
Refit door catch and plate into opposite L.H. position (Do not tighten at this stage).
(vii) The door can now be located onto the R.H. bottom hinge and held in place while the
R.H. top hinge is fitted to the door and then secured to the chassis.
(The R.H. top hinge is the same hinge removed from the bottom L.H.) (G).
(viii) Final adjustment: With the door still closed the door catch adjustment is automatic
and can now be tightened from the side.
Open inner glass door to 90°and remove by lifting up and
out. Release the top hinge from the inside of the oven by
removing the two fixing screws. Remove hinge pin by
loosening the fixing screws, and replace into opposite end
of hinge, re-tightening the screw. Remove blanking screws
from holes in right hand side of oven, and using these holes

THEHOB
Use of the Hob
The hotplates give rapid heat and are fast
boiling. The control switches provide a very
flexible control from slow simmer to fast
boil. The highest number is the hottest
setting. These switches have intermediate
positions.
The numbers do not denote any set
temperature, but after using the hob a few
times no difficulty will be experienced in
selecting an appropriate setting.
The control knobs can be turned in either
direction to vary the heat setting; turn the
control knobs to the highest setting for fast
cooking.
To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or
simmer, choose a lower setting although
this will vary with the size and type of
saucepan, the quantity and type of food
and whether or not a lid is used.
Saucepans
For fastest, most economical cooking, we
recommend pans with flat bases and close
fitting lids. The saucepans should cover the
hotplates as much as possible - up to 225
mm (9”) diameter saucepans on a nominal
180 mm (7”) hotplate. If using larger
diameter pans, only use pans with ground
bases. Damage may occur to the hob if
large preserving pans or fish kettles are
placed across two hotplates. Saucepans
should be lifted onto and off hotplates and
not slid on, since this may in time scratch
the surface finish of the hob.
Never leave the hotplates on for long
periods when not covered with a pan ...
never place a utensil with a skirt on the
hotplate e.g. a bucket ... never use an
asbestos mat, or line the spillage tray with
aluminium foil.
Any guidelines or recommendations given
by the saucepan or cooking utensil
manufacturer should be followed.
5

Special Frying Note:
For safety purposes when deep fat frying,
fill the pan only one-third full of fat or oil. Do
not cover the pan with a lid, and do not
leave the pan unattended. In the unfortu¬
nate event of a fire, leave the pan where it
is and switch off at the electricity supply.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over
the pan to assist in smothering the flames.
Do not use water on the fire. Leave the
pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.
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.
To Raise the Hob
On some models the hob is hinged to allow
easy cleaning of the spillage tray.
Lift the hob and secure in a raised position
by means of the support arm, where fitted.
Cleaning of the under side of the hob and
spillage tray can now be carried out. On
models where the hob is not hinged, simply
slide out the spillage tray for cleaning.
The chromium plated hotplate trims may be
removed for cleaning, but the hotplate
spider supports should not be removed.
THE GRILL
Operation of the Grill
To operate the grill turn the grill control
clockwise from the ‘0’ position.
For grilling and toasting, the control should
normally be turned to 5 for initial pre¬
heating of 3 minutes and then adjusted as
necessary. The pre-heating may be
increased to 8-12 minutes when flash
grilling blue, rare or medium steaks.
The grill pan is supplied with a removable
handle. To remove the handle, press the
knob on the handle with the thumb, and
pivot handle upwards.
Reverse this action when replacing handle.
Positioning the Grill Pan
For 460 mm (18 in) wide models - the grill
pan is placed on runners in the grill
compartment. For 550 mm (21 in) wide
models - the grill pan is placed on the shelf,
ensuring that the cut out on the underside
of the handle bracket locates over the front
edge of the shelf.
The runners in the grill compartment side
panels provide alternative grilling positions,
in addition, there is a reversible grid within
the pan.
When toasting bread we suggest that the
top runner position is used with the grid in
either position. This is dependant on the
thickness and freshness of the bread and
the grid position must be adjusted to suit.
Do not line the grill pan or grid with
aluminium foil. It is advisable not to leave
food, i.e. fat or oil in the meat pan, grill pan
or in a fry pan in or on the cooker, in case
the cooker is inadvertently switched on.
The grill door must be left open during
grilling.
The pan may be stored in this compartment
with the handle removed.

THE OVEN
Use of the Main Oven
1. The oven door should be opened by
pulling at the top right hand corner and
closed by a gentle push.
2. The oven is supplied with specially
designed non-tip shelves. To ensure that
these can be pulled out to attend to food
without tipping, they should be fitted in the
runners with the straight rods uppermost
and the forms to the back of the oven.
The runners give a variety of positions and
before switching the oven ON arrange the
shelves as required. (A guide to shelf
positions is given in the oven cooking
chart). In addition non-critical dishes can be
cooked on the floor of the oven.
3. Set the oven control dial to the required
temperature. The oven indicator light will
glow until the oven has reached the desired
temperature, and then go out. It will cycle
On and Off periodically during cooking
showing that the temperature is being
maintained.
4. The oven is fitted with side elements.
The top of the oven is the hottest and the
bottom is the coolest, although there is very
little temperature differential between the
top and bottom.
5. Do not line any part of the oven with
aluminium foil.
6. The use of oven thermometers are not
recommended as they do not give accurate
temperature readings and therefore can
give misleading information to the user.
Inner Glass Door
Some models are fitted with an inner glass
door and food can be seen during cooking
without loss of heat. It is advisable to use an
oven cloth when opening the inner glass
door.

TIMER CONTROL
(where fitted)
Fully Automatic Timer
(Horizontal version illustrated but timer
may be mounted vertically).
This timer will automatically switch the
oven on and off at the selected ‘start’ and
‘stop’times.
It also includes a clock and minute minder.
Clock
The clock will operate even if the automatic
control is not being used. If the cooker is
switched off at the wall control panel, the
clock will stop. It will start as soon as the
cooker is switched on again. To set the
correct time of day, push in and turn the
clock knob until the hands indicate the right
time.
Minute Minder
The minute minder gives an audible
reminder for any period of cooking up to 60
minutes. It is not part of the automatic
control and is operated by the clock knob.
Automatic Cooking
When the main oven is set on the timer
control, the grill can be operated manually.
Auto-Timer Lights
Where fitted these are situated on the
control panel.
When using the timer control for the first
time it is advisable to let it operate while you
are at home. The indicator lights (see
setting the timer control) can be
checked to show that it is operating
correctly and you will then feel confident to
leave a meal to cook automatically in the
future.
Notes
A. The delay time plus the cooking period
must not exceed 11 Vz hours.
B. Although the automatic timer control
and minute minder operate within limits
which ensure excellent cooking results,
their accuracy is subject to a small variation
in the set cooking period. The electric clock
keeps accurate time.

Delay Timer (where fitted)
The delay timer, which is extremely easy to
operate, offers the facility of a maximum of
12 hours delay with a preset 2 hour cooking
period. This means that the cooker will
automatically switch on after the chosen
delay time, cook for 2 hours and then switch
off. If a period of either less than 2 hours
or more than 2 hours is required, the
cooker must be switched off manually (for
less than 2 hours cook) or returned to the
manual position V!V after the 2 hour
cook period, (for more than 2 hours cook).

All exterior surfaces are hard wearing,
easily cleaned and impervious to all normal
heat and spillage encountered during
cooking. Vitreous enamel can be chipped
by a hard blow and reasonable care should
be exercised. The exterior surfaces
including the oven doors should be cleaned
using a little liquid detergent in hot water,
and polished with a soft cloth.
Cleaners which contain bleach should not
be used as they may dull the surface. Harsh
abrasives may also affect the finish and
should not be used. When removing parts
of the cooker for cleaning, we recommend
that they are not subjected to thermal
shock, i.e. do not plunge a very hot grill pan
or meat pan into warm or cold water.
Note:
Before using any proprietary oven cleaner,
ensure that it is suitable for application on
polished surfaces e.g. chromium, anodized
aluminium, stainless steel, vitreous
enamel. Certain cleaners may have an
adverse effect.
Cleaning the Hob
The chromium plated hotplate trims may be
removed for cleaning, but the hotplate
spider supports should not be removed.
Spillage will pass through the open spiral
radiant hotplate elements and drain away
to the coolest part of the spillage tray below.
Remove obstinate soilage with a soap
impregnated steel wool pad. Non-abrasive
cleaners may be used on the hob to remove
obstinate marks.
Cleaning the Grill
It is essential to keep the underside of the
removable vitreous enamel grill deflector
absolutely clean. After grilling, thorough
cleaning of the surface with a soap
impregnated steel wool pad is advised.
The deflector can be removed by opening
the grill compartment door without lifting
the hob. Clean the grill pan in a similar
manner.
When replacing the grill deflector make
sure it is in position immediately above the
grill element, with the front lip down.
Cleaning the Oven
If ‘STAY CLEAN’ panels have been fitted to
this oven, instructions for cleaning these
panels are given under ‘Care of Stay-
Clean’.
Vitreous enamel may be cleaned using
normal oven cleaners.
Oven shelves if heavily soiled will wipe
clean if first soaked in hot soapy water.
Inner Glass Door
(where fitted)
To assist cleaning, the glass door may be
removed from its hinges. The door should
be opened 90 degrees to enable it to be
lifted off easily. This allows the door to be
completely soaked to remove obstinate
soilage, alternatively clean with a warm
soapy cloth. Rough abrasives should be
avoided as these will scratch the surface.
Note:
If aerosol cleaners are used on any parts of
the cooker the manufacturers’ instructions
must be followed, and it is recommended
that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.
AEROSOL CLEANERS MUST NOT BE
USED ON ‘STAY-CLEAN’ LINERS, AND
MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO COME
INTO CONTACT WITH THE ELEMENTS
AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE.

STAY-CLEAN LINERS
(where fitted)
Care of Stay-Clean
Cleaning of the ‘Stay-Clean’ surface is
initiated by an inclusion of special oxides in
the enamel; these are activated when the
temperature of the oven is raised, and
aided by oxygen, result in the soilage i.e.
food splatter and grease being destroyed.
The linings clean themselves during
normal roasting and baking.
As cleaning may be improved by exposure
to a higher temperature, it may be
necessary to run the oven at maximum
temperature for an hour or two per week.
Manual cleaning is not advisable on ‘Stay-
Clean’ panels. Do not use soap
impregnated steel wool pads, aerosol
cleaners, or any abrasive cleaners as these
may damage the surface of the panels.
Slight discolouration may occur in time,
together with polishing of the surface finish
by the oven shelves but this will not affect
the cleaning properties of the panels.
In order to ensure that the liners retain their
Stay-Clean properties and give years of
excellent service, it may be worthwhile
understanding the following points:-
Cooking
To minimise oven soilage
1. Cook at the recommended temper¬
atures. Higher temperatures during
roasting will increase soilage. Try cooking
at lower temperatures for an increased
length of time, you will save energy and
often the joint is more tender.
2. Use minimal, if any, extra cooking oil or
fat when roasting meat; potatoes only
require brushing with fat before cooking.
Extra fat in the oven during roasting will
increase splashing and soilage.
3. It is not necessary to add water to the
meat tin when roasting. The water and the
fat juices from the joint create excessive
splattering during cooking - even at normal
temperatures as well as causing con¬
densation.
4. Covering joints during cooking will also
prevent splashings onto the interior panels;
removing the covering for the last 20-30
minutes will allow extra browning if
required. Some large joints and turkeys
especially will benefit by this method of
cooking, allowing the joint to cook through
before the outside is over-browned.
5. Do use (where supplied) the trivet in the
roasting tin. During roasting, the fat from
the joint will be contained beneath the trivet
and therefore prevent it from splattering
onto the Stay-Clean liners.
Cleaning
1. The linings will clean themselves during
normal roasting and baking. It is important
to ensure that a build up of soilage does not
occur as excessive soilage can prevent the
Stay-Clean properties of the catalytic
enamel from working.
2. After roasting, always check the Stay-
Clean liners for soilage. If baking between
roasts, this will assist in the cleaning of the
liners.
3. As cleaning is improved by exposure to
a higher temperature, it may be necessary
to run the oven at maximum temperature
for an hour or two per week or after each
roast.
4. The panels which are directly next to the
oven elements reach higher temperatures
and clean more readily. It may be
necessary to expose the roof or back panel,
where fitted, to a radiant grill element to
assist in burning off excessive soilage. This
is not normally necessary but is worth
remembering if required.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKING A COMPLETE MEAL IN
THE MAIN OVEN
Many people today like to cook meat at comparatively low temperatures. When these lower
temperatures are used the joint is often more tender; also there is very little splashing of fat
onto the oven interior during cooking. When a ‘Full Meal’ including a joint, roast potatoes,
fruit pie and Yorkshire Pudding is required, cooking times may vary slightly according to the
thickness of the joint and how ‘well done’ one likes the meat and potatoes etc. Slight
temperature adjustment may be necessary. We hope this will prove to be a useful guide to
your new cooker.
