Oven Door Protection Device

All our appliances comply with the

European safety standards. Nevertheless,

in order to ensure the highest safety

level, and avoid small children to be

exposed to the heat when the appliance

is operated, it is possible to fit a special

protection device to the oven door. This

device can be purchased in our Service

Force Centres, specifying the relevant

code (35791) and the Product No. shown

on the rating plate.

Electric Hotplates

To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control

knob to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 0 - 6

0 - OFF

1 - Minimum

6 - Maximum.

The hob has two types of hotplates:

Normal Hotplates (Back right and left)

We recommend the plates are switched to maximum

(6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then

adjusted to the required setting.

Rapid Hotplates (Front right and left)

The rapid hotplates indicated by a red spot, will heat

up more quickly than a normal plate.

Over a period of time the red spot may

disappear, this will not affect the performance

of the hotplate.

It is important to note that the plate may smoke

a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour

when used for the first time. This is quite

normal and will disappear after a few minutes.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are

given in the following table.

Hints andTips

Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several

characteristics:

●They should be fairly heavy duty

●They should fit the heat area exactly, or be slightly

larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

●They should have a flat base to ensure good

contact with the plate.

This is particularly important when using pans for

high temperature frying or pressure cooking.

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate

control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid

simmering.

You can switch off the plate a short while before you

finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed

on the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked

in well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature

which is more economical.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid

liquids being split onto the plates.

Never leave the plates on without a pan on

them or with an empty pan on them.

Take care never to lean or reach over a hot

electric plate. Always point pan handles

inward or over the work surface next to the

hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a

pan as you pass by.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,

as the overheated splashes could easily

ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to turn,

please contact your local Tricity Bendix

Service Centre.

Before the First Use of the Oven

Remove all packaging, both inside and

outside the oven, before using the oven.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without

food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be

emitted. This is quite normal.

☞1. Set the oven function control knob to

MAX.

2. Open a window for ventilation.

3. Allow the oven to run empty for

approximately 45 minutes.

This procedure should be repeated with the grill

function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Using the Oven

• Always cook with the oven door closed.

• Stand clear when opening the drop

down oven door. Do not allow it to fall

open - support the door using the door

handle, until it is fully open.

• The oven has four shelf levels, and is

supplied with two shelves.

The shelf positions are counted from the

bottom of the oven as shown in the

diagram.

It is important that these shelves are

correctly positioned as shown in the

diagram.

• Do not place cookware directly on the

oven base.

Cookware

• Use any oven proof cookware which will

withstand temperatures of 250°C.

• Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be

placed directly against the grid covering the fan at

the back of the oven, or placed on the oven base.

• Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm

(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation

of heat and may affect performance.

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same

way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of

this steam to escape. However, always stand back

from the oven 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 oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense

and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and

is not a fault with the oven.

To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away

condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Hints andTips

The effects of dishes

on cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,

colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat

to the food inside them.

AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and

bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and

underneath browning.

BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,

aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured

exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking

and underneath browning.

Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is located underneath the oven

cavity.

During cooking the storage drawer may

become hot if the oven is on high for a long

period of time, therefore flammable materials

such as oven gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons

etc. should not be stored in the drawer.

Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will

also become hot, therefore care should be

taken when removing these items from the

drawer whilst the oven is in use or still hot.

Using the Conventional Oven

☞

How to Use the

Conventional Oven

Turn the oven function control knob to the

required temperature.

THINGS TO NOTE

●

The thermostat control light will remain on until

the correct temperature is reached. It will then

cycle on and off to show that temperature is being

maintained.

Top oven element only

This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes,

eg; lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc.

Bottom oven element only

This function is particularly useful when blind-baking

pastry or cooking pizza. It may also be used to finish

off quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is

cooked through.

Hints andTips

The middle shelf position allows for the best heat

distribution. To increase base browning simply lower

the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the

shelf position.

The material and finish of the baking trays and

dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware,

dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base

browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium or

polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less

base browning.

Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure

even browning.

Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent

spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning

easier.

Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on

the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will

occur.

For faster preheating use the fan oven function to

preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes

out, then swich the selector to the conventional oven

setting.

Single level cooking gives best results. If you require

more than one level cooking use the fan oven

function.
