Introduction  
Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable  
if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in  
this booklet.  
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.  
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for  
use in any other installation.  
When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted,  
this will cease after a period of use  
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use  
an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes.  
It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is  
due to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the  
insulation.  
* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:  
(a)  
Has been used solely in accordance with the Users Instruction Book.  
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the

SAFETY ADVICE  
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:  
1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.  
2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the  
flames and extinguish the fire.  
3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT.  
Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.  
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of  
the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use water to extinguish  
oil or fat fires.

Oven Timer Operation  
The oven timer offers you the following features:  
1. Time of Day  
2. Automatic Cooking  
3. Minute Minder  
Automatic Cooking  
The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the automatic timer.  
Never operate the grill or top oven when the main oven is set to cook  
automatically because the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause  
bacterial growth in food.  
1. Select foods which will take the same time to cook and require  
approximately the same temperature.  
2. Set the oven timer so that the food has just finished or about to  
finish cooking on your return to the oven. This will ensure the  
food has not cooled down and does not require reheating  
before serving.  
Hints on  
Automatic  
Cooking  
3. Food should be as cold as possible when it goes into the oven,  
ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry  
should be thawed thoroughly before it is put in the oven.  
4. We advise that warm food should never be placed in the oven if  
there is to be a delay period. Stews prepared by frying the meat  
and vegetables should be cooked as soon as possible.  
5. We advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,  
for example Shepherds Pie, should not be cooked automatically  
if there is to be a delay period.  
6. Stews and joints should be cooked by the long slow method, so  
that the delay period is kept to a minimum.  
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful bacterial growth in certain  
foods (ie poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept to  
a minimum.  
8. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the  
delay period, so it is best to add these ingredients just before  
serving.  
9. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or  
tossing in water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to  
placing food in the oven.  
10. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent  
boiling over.  
11. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to  
prevent the loss of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a  
good seal.  
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.  
1. Make sure all oven controls are turned Off.  
2. Check that the electricity supply to the oven is turned On.  
3. Check that the oven clock is at the right time of day.

Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven  
The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so  
that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a  
heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of  
the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven  
shelf so that the element is directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should  
be approx. 100mm (4”) from the front of the shelf.  
Important:  
Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan, when the pan is being used for  
oven cooking.  
Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the oven.  
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be  
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase  
or decrease cooking times.

Step 3 Place the food on the shelf directly below the element ensuring the oven door is  
closed.  
NOTE: At the end of your cooking, always return control (B) to the OFF (G) position.  
Plate Warming  
Place the plates/dishes on shelf position 1 from the base of the top oven, and turn  
top oven temperature and grill selection control (B) to 100oC for 10-15 minutes.  
Never use the grill setting control (A) when warming plates.  
Top Oven Utensils  
Do Not use: Meat Pans and Baking Trays larger than – 225mm x 300mm (9”x12”)  
DO NOT use the main oven meat pan as a meat pan in the top oven, as the air  
circulation will be seriously restricted.

Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking  
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a  
lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary.  
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to  
increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease  
cooking times.  
Main Oven Shelf Positioning for Fan Oven  
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of heat in the  
main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.  
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities of food.  
(N.B. Maximum 2 shelves in the main oven).  
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven  
for cooking.  
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the surfaces  
get extremely hot.  
Important:  
Always remove the grill pan handle from the grill pan, when the pan is being used for oven  
cooking.  
Always use oven gloves when basting, turning or removing food from the oven.  
Main Oven Utensils  
Do Not Use: Meat Pans larger than  
Baking Trays larger than  
375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)  
325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)  
Temperature & Time  
When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary to  
increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to allow for  
the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger mass of food.  
Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.

oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go  
off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct  
temperature.  
Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF (G)  
position. At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the door is  
opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good  
door seal.

Using the Main Oven for other Functions  
Fan Only Setting  
Defrosting frozen meat and poultry  
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a  
refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours  
per lb.).  
Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.  
However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non-  
heating fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.  
Operation: To assist in defrosting  
Place food in the oven and close the oven door.  
Turn the Main Oven Temperature and Function Control (C) clockwise to the  
setting.  
This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on  
type and size of the food.  
NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food  
through.  
Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are cream/cream cakes,  
butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches, pastries, biscuits,  
bread, croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.  
If fish, meat and poultry are to be defrosted using the fan only setting, where  
possible it is recommended that the food should be small & thin.  
The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is exposed  
to the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even defrosting.  
Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up to a  
maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).  
It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately after  
defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after defrosting.  
It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to  
prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.  
Light Only Setting  
When the Main Oven Temperature & Function Control (C) is turned clockwise to the  
setting, the main oven light only will illuminate.

Using the Main Oven for other Functions  
“SLOW” Setting  
90  
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.  
Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot  
oven.  
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven  
lining and the plates which are being warmed.  
Advantages of “SLOW” cooking are:  
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.  
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.  
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.  
Fully loading the oven can be economical.  
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.  
The kitchen stays cooler.  
Operation:  
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.  
2. Select  
(Slow Cooking Temperature) by turning Main Oven Temperature &  
90  
Function Control (C) clockwise ensuring the oven door is fully closed.  
Storage and re-heating of food:  
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container  
and cool as soon as possible.  
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.  
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.  
4. Only re-heat food once.  
Points to consider when preparing food for “SLOW” cooking:  
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air  
to circulate.  
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, if they  
are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be noticed.  
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).  
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the  
slow setting.  
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170˚C for 30 minutes before  
wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air circulation) before  
turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately.  
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a  
meat thermometer before serving.  
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing  
frozen food in the oven to cook.  
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.  
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the top with foil  
to prevent loss of moisture.  
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook properly.  
10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.  
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then  
boiled for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.  
12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to avoid  
overcooking.

Ensure that the grill pan is not lined with foil.  
Ensure that the grill setting control (A) is not set too high.  
BAKING GENERAL  
Uneven rising of cakes  
Sinking of cakes  
Ensure that the oven shelves are level.  
The following may cause cakes to sink:  
1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.  
2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce standard  
temperatures by 25˚C for fan ovens.  
3. Using normal creaming method with a soft margarine.  
If using soft margarine, use an all in one method instead of  
the traditional creaming of the margarine and sugar.  
Remember when using a food mixer or processor not to  
over-cream soft margarine.  
Over/undercooking  
Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in the  
Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it may be  
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C  
to suit personal taste.  
Do not use utensils greater than 56mm (2l4'') in height for  
roasting.  
TOP OVEN BAKING  
Uneven cooking front to back  
Ensure that the cooking utensil is at least 100mm (4") from the  
front of the shelf.  
Uneven rising  
Ensure that the shelf is level (as above) and that the food is  
positioned correctly in the oven.  
Overcooking  
Remember to reduce cooking temperatures by 10˚C from  
standard recipes when using the top oven.  
Food is taking too long to cook  
Ensure that the cooking utensil used in the top oven is not  
larger than 300mm x 225mm (12"x 9"), e.g. Do Not use the  
main oven meat pan.

Care and Cleaning  
Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off  
and the appliance is fully cold.  
1. CATALYTIC OVEN LINERS  
The surfaces of the oven liners are treated with a special  
vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils.  
TOP OVEN SIDE LINERS  
At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚F) or above, the special surface  
enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.  
The higher the temperature the more effective it is.  
Cleaning.  
In most cases normal cooking operations at 220˚C (425˚F) will  
permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking.  
However if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly,  
it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run  
the ovens without shelves or meat pan, at a maximum setting  
for a couple of hours.  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the panels with  
water. If the user feels it is desirable to do so, wipe them over  
with a clean, soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean  
damp cloth.  
MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS  
AND REAR PANEL  
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or chemical  
oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage the oven liners.

Something Wrong?  
Before calling a Service Engineer, please check through the following lists.  
THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.  
Check  
Problem  
Slight odour or small amount of  
smoke when grill / oven is used  
for the first time,  
This is normal and should cease after a short period.  
Nothing works.  
(a) Check  
If you find :-  
Display is blank.  
Then it is likely that there is no electricity supply to your oven.  
Check: (i) That the main cooker wall switch is turned on.  
(ii) Check other appliances to see if you have a power cut.  
(iii) Check the main circuit breaker for the property.  
The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but has
