BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
RATING PLATE
This is situated on the lower 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 and
hot soapy water and 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.
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.
THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS
The cooling fan comes on after a short time when the
grill/second oven and main 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.
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.
CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle does. The vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the appliance when opening the oven door(s) to
allow any build up of steam or heat to be released.
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 occurring, regularly wipe
away condensation and any soilage from the appliance
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.
GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE
The following items of oven furniture have been
supplied with the appliance.
1 grill pan
1 grill pan handle
1 grill pan grid
1 shelf (for grilling

THE DUAL GRILL
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
Push out and turn the top oven/grill control to the full
power setting ( ), then turn down as necessary.
The grill settings are as follows:-
• ( ) Full grill area at ¼ power.
• ( ) Centre grill area at full power.
• ( ) Full grill area at full power.
The grill door must be left open when grilling.
THINGS TO NOTE
• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time.
•Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident
as the grill cleans itself.
Never cover the grill pan with foil as this can
lead to grill fires
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

11
HINTS AND TIPS
• 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.
• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food.
• 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, we suggest that the top
runner position is used with the grid in the 'high'
position.
• When using the centre section grill, ensure food is
placed centrally on the grill pad grid in the grill pan
before cooking.
• Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes.
Adjust the heat setting and the shelf position as
necessary during cooking.
• The food should be turned over during cooking as
required

THE FAN ASSISTED 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 and a fan. It is designed for cooking smaller
quantities of food. It gives especially good results if
used to cook fruit cakes, sweet and savoury flans or
quiche.
The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming
compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use
the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use the
lowest setting on the top oven temperature control.
USING THE FAN ASSISTED TOP OVEN
• Push in the Fan Selector button.
• Push out and turn the top oven/grill temperature
control to the required setting.
THINGS TO NOTE
• The oven light will illuminate.
• The Fan Selector neon 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.
• The oven fan will operate.
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. 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.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

13
HINTS AND TIPS
• 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, lower
temperatures and shorter cooking times are
sometimes required.
• Do not place dishes directly onto the oven base as
it becomes very hot and damage may occur.
• For economy leave the door open for the shortest
possible time, particularly when placing food into a
pre-heated oven.
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.

14
THE CONVENTIONAL TOP OVEN
This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook
without the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable
for some cook chilled convenience foods and dishes
which require extra base browning such as pizzas,
quiches and flans. Gratin's, lasagne and hotpots
which require extra top browning also cook well in the
conventional oven. For best results cook on one level.
USING THE CONVENTIONAL TOP OVEN
• Push out the Fan Selector button.
• Push out and 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.
Do not place dishes, tins or baking 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. To install a shelf, reverse
the above steps. Each shelf position has an upper

THERMAL GRILLING IN THE TOP OVEN
Thermal grilling in the top oven offers an alternative
method of cooking food items normally associated
with conventional grilling.
Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the
kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door
closed. With the exception of toast and rare steaks
you can Thermal grill all the foods you would normally
cook under a conventional grill.
The lower part of the oven can be used to cook
accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes and
mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.
Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie,
lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and
browned on the top using the Thermal grilling function.
COOKING TIMES
Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes
a little longer to cook when Thermal grilling compared
with conventional grilling. One of the advantages is
that larger quantities can be cooked at the same time.
USING THERMAL GRILL
Always Thermal grill with the oven door closed
and with the grill pan handle removed.
• Push in the Fan Selector button.
• Push out and turn the top oven/grill control to the
full power setting ( ), then turn down as
necessary.
The grill settings are as follows:-
• ( ) Full grill area at ¼ power.
• ( ) Centre grill area at full power.
• ( ) Full grill area at full power.
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 oven fan will operate.
• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time.

HINTS AND TIPS
• Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional
grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a
little oil or butter to keep them moist during
cooking.
• Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in
the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow
maximum circulation of air around the food.
• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed below the grid when
grilling meats, or in a separate dish on a lower
shelf.
• Foods will cook more quickly the closer they are to
the grill element and the higher the temperatures
selected. Be prepared to adjust temperatures and
shelf positions during cooking if necessary.
• The food should be turned over during cooking as
required.
• Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled
dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne,
etc., are piping hot throughout before serving.
• A temperature range of 140°C - 220° is suitable
for most foods. Be prepared to make suitable
adjustments during cooking to suit individual
requirements. If Thermal grilling on more than one
level, it may be necessary to interchange the food
on the shelves during cooking.

DEFROSTING IN THE TOP OVEN
This top oven 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 DEFROST FEATURE
• Push in the Fan Selector button.
• The Top oven/Dual grill control should be in the Off
'0' position.
THINGS TO NOTE
• The oven fan and internal oven light will operate.
• The cooling fan does not operate.
HINTS AND TIPS
• 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 pawns, 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 the giblets as
soon as possible during the thawing process.
• Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be
thawed using the defrost function.
• All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed
thoroughly before cooking.
• Always cook thoroughly immediately after thawing.
• DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is
defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge.
• Care must always be taken when handling foods in
the home. Always follow the basic rules of food
hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and cross
contamination when defrosting, preparing,
cooking, cooling and freezing foods.

MAIN OVEN DUAL GRILL
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 MAIN OVEN DUAL GRILL
• Turn the main oven multifunction selector to full
grill.
• Turn the main oven multifunction selector to centre
section only.
• Turn the main oven temperature control knob to
the right as far as it will go. This is the hottest
setting. To use the grill at lower settings, turn the
temperature control knob to 110°C or 150°C.
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.
•Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident
as the grill cleans itself.
HINTS AND TIPS
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 around the outer
edges or underneath the grid when grilling meats.
