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 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/top oven is switched on and after a

short time when the 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.

WARNING!

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the

appliance down before switching offat 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.

Grill and oven furniture

•The following items of grill and oven furniture

have been supplied with the appliance. If

you require replacements of any of the items

listed below please contact your local service

force centre.

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

1 straight shelf

(For grilling and top oven cooking)

2 straight shelves

(For main oven cooking)

The hob

WARNING!

Do not use the appliance if the ceramic glass

is damaged. If a fault or crack becomes

visible, disconnect the appliance

immediately from the electricity supply and

contact your local service force centre.

Using the hob

Turn the hob control

knob to the required

setting.

The highest number represents the hottest

setting and the lowest number represents the

coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to

the quantity and type of food to be cooked.

Recommended saucepans

•Only saucepans with flat bases and close fitting

lids are recommended. The saucepan base

should be approximately the same size as the

cooking area.

•Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed

to remove edges and take off any deposits left

from manufacture.

•Traditional round-bottomed Woks must not be

used even with a stand. Woks with flat-

bottomed bases are available and do comply

with the above recommendations.

IMPORTANT!

Occasionally the heated areas may be seen

to switch on and off when higher heat

settings are being used. This is due to a

safety device, which prevents the glass from

overheating.

•Some switching on and off when cooking at

high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite

normal, causes no damage to the hob and little

delay in cooking times.

•Excessive switching may however be caused

by the use of an unsuitable saucepan or a

saucepan which is smaller than the heated

area. If excessive switching occurs,

discontinue use of the saucepan.

Hints and tips when using the

hob

•Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the

hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and

metal marks from saucepans with aluminium

bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off

providing they are not allowed to burn on.

•Follow any guidelines provided by the

saucepan manufacturer, particularly those

relating to recommended heat settings.

•Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted

saucepans. Those with uneven bases should

not be used.

•Never leave the hotplates on when not covered

with a saucepan.

•Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean

and dry before the start of cooking.

•Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to

keep the hob looking like new.

•If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.

jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the hob

before it sets and becomes hard otherwise

damage to the hob will occur.

IMPORTANT!

Do not allow hot pans or baking trays to

touch the controls as dammage may occur.

The 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 grill

Turn the top oven/grill

grill to the required

setting.

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

•To ensure optimal cooking performance

the elements have been carefully

designed, so that only the inner element

glows red. The outer element is hot, but

will remain dark in colour. This gives you

the best possible cooking results.

•The cooling fan for the controls may operate

after a time.

•Some smoke from fat splashes may be

evident as the grill cleans itself.

WARNING!

Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as

this can lead to grill fires.

The grill pan and handle

WARNING!

Protect your hands when removing the grill

pan handle. Always remove the grill pan

handle during grilling.

IMPORTANT!

To check the progress of the food being grilled,

the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to

attend to food during cooking.
