WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED

RATING PLATE

Record the model, product and serial numbers on the back cover from the rating plate. This is situated on the lower front frame of the cooker and can be seen upon opening the top oven door.

TRICITY BENDIX MODEL No ****** PRODUCT No ****** SERIAL No ****** VOLTAGE **** V ~ ** Hz WATTAGE **** KW MADE IN BRITAIN TRICITY BENDIX BEAB Approved

The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the cooker is given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the cooker as this may invalidate the guarantee.

INSTALLATION

If your cooker has been damaged in transit, contact your supplier immediately. DO NOT attempt to install it.

Your cooker left the factory fully packaged to protect it from damage. If it is delivered without packaging and damage has occurred the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Contact your supplier for advice.

Once the packaging has been removed the cooker should only be moved by hand. DO NOT use a sack barrow or any other aid to lift the cooker as damage may occur.

Connection to the electricity supply must be carried out by a qualified electrician/competent person.

The electrical connection should be made using a double pole isolating switch (cooker socket) with at least 3mm contact separation. The cable must have conductors of sufficiently high cross-sectional area to prevent overheating and deterioration.

The recommended cross-section area is six square millimetres (6.00mm ^4 ).

The cable should be routed away from potentially hot areas marked by X in the diagram below.

X X REAR VIEW

To move the cooker, open the fan oven door, and lift the cooker by holding inside the top of the compartment.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - INSTALLATION - 2

This is a type Y cooker which means it is free-standing and can be fitted with cabinets on one or both sides. It may also be fitted in a corner setting.

Ensure that the cooker is standing level.

Side walls which are above hob level should be protected by heat resistant non-combustible material and MUST NOT be nearer than 40mm to the hob side.

A nominal air gap of 2mm all around the cooker is required to enable the cooker to be moved into position.

Aways ensure an air gap is maintained at hotplate level. Tiles or other forms of deep wall covering should not obscure this gap.

Correct Air gap Rear Wall Incorrect Air gap obscured by wall covering Tiles Rear Wall

Note: Vapours from the oven vents may in time cause discoloration of wallcoverings behind the cooker. For ease of cleaning it may be preferable to tile behind the cooker.

Overhanging surfaces or a cooker hood should be a minimum of 685mm above the hob.

40 MIN 685 MIN 2 2

It is important to ensure that the cooker is level after installation. Levelling feet are fitted to the cooker to accommodate uneven floors.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR COOKER

We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 - 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their surfaces.

The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.

During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.

ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the cooker 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 cooker, 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 discoloration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces including the vent at the rear of the hob. See note at the top of this page.

For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the cooker should be securely fixed to the wall.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. If an automatic programme has been set the cooling fan does not switch on until the cooktime begins.

Note: The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the top oven or grill have been used and at what temperature. It may not run on where the grill or top oven has been used for a short time or at low temperatures. Do not switch the cooker off at its power point until the cooling fan has cooled the cooker down.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS

These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched on.

The neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will turn on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained.

If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and re-set following the instructions for the required setting.

When the oven has been set for automatic cooking the neon will remain unlit until the cooktime begins.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, oven 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.

THE TIMER

Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2.00 pm is shown as 1400.

In the following pages we explain how to set the controls. Read through them a few times until you are familiar with the procedure. We have supplied a plastic card as a quick reference when setting the timer.

If the oven is switched off on the wall, or there is a loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be able to use the ovens. When you first switch the electricity supply on, the timer display will flash.

TO SET THE TIME OF DAY

Turn the selector knob to 'Manual' then turn to 'Time Setting'.

Set the correct time by turning and holding the setting knob clockwise. Adjust the time by turning the setting knob in either direction.

Turn the selector knob back to 'Manual'.

TO USE THE MINUTE MINDER

Turn the selector knob to 'Countdown'. Turn the setting knob clockwise until the display shows the time you want. The bell symbol (☐) will be showing and this will stay lit up during the time. Our diagram shows the timer set to 5 minutes.

If you change your mind and want to cancel the time you have set, simply turn the setting knob anticlockwise. Then turn the selector to 'Manual'.

When you are using the minute minder you can make the clock show the time of day by turning the selector knob to 'Manual'. The bell symbol will stay on to remind you that the minute minder is set. At the end of the timed period an alarm will sound and the bell symbol will go out.

Switch off the alarm by turning the selector knob to 'Time Setting'. Then turn to 'Manual' and the time of day will show in the display.

Note:

You can use the minute minder when an automatic sequence has been set, as long as you remember the following point.

1 Turn the selector knob to 'Automatic' as soon as you have entered the timed period into the display.

AUTOMATIC CONTROL

The automatic control can be used to control either oven but you can only use the control for both ovens at the same time if the cooking time is the same.

When you use the automatic controls for the first time it's probably best to choose a time when you are at home. That way you can check to make sure you've set everything correctly and you'll feel much more confident when you are away from home in the future.

SETTING THE CONTROLS FOR AUTOMATIC USE

This is very easy. All you have to do is work through the steps below. The clock will work out the rest for itself.

1Is the electricity supply on?
2Is the clock showing the correct time?To adjust turn the selector knob to 'Manual' then turn to 'Time Setting'. Turn the setting knob in either direction.
3How long will the food take to cook?Turn the selector knob to 'Cook Time'. Then turn the setting knob until the length of time you want the food to cook shows in the display. The maximum cooking time is 10 hours. 'Auto' will show in the display.
4What time do you want the food to be cooked by?Turn the selector knob to 'End Time'. Turn the setting knob until the time the oven is to switch off shows in the display. The cookpot ( ) will go out.The 'End Time' must not be more than 23 hours 59 minutes from the time of day. For example if the time of day is 9.00 am the latest 'End Time' will be 8.59 am the next day.
5Set to automatic.Turn the selector knob to 'Automatic'.
6Turn on the oven control.Turn the oven control to the required setting.

The time shown on the right gives an example of setting the automatic controls when the time is 9.00 am, the food is to be cooked for 2½ hours and the food is needed at 6.00 pm (1800 hours).

The clock will work out what time the oven will switch itself on and it will turn the oven off at the end. Once the automatic sequence is finished there will be an alarm to remind you that you need to set the oven for manual operation. To do this turn the selector knob to 'Manual'. Turn off the oven control.

If you change your mind and want to cancel a programme that you have set simply turn to 'Time Setting' and then to 'Manual'.

USING THE HOB

OVEN PROGRAMMER 12 30 TIME SETTING MANUAL - TIME + COUNTDOWN COOK TIME END TIME AUTOMATIC MAIN OVEN TOP OVEN DUAL GRILL BACK LEFT FRONT LEFT FRONT RIGHT BACK RIGHT

  • To operate the dual hotplate turn the control knob clockwise for the full area, or anticlockwise for the centre section.
  • The inner section is very economical when cooking with small diameter saucepans.
  • For single hotplates, turn the control knob in either direction to vary the heat setting. The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest the coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to the quantity and type of food to be cooked.
  • This model has the added feature of Rapid Power Zone hotplates which react more quickly than the other ceramic hotplates and are easily identified by their instant red glow.

For speed and economy only good quality saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan base should be approximately the same size as the cooking area, a base diameter of up to 225mm (9") may be used on a 180mm (7") heated area.

Diagram showing three cooking pots on a stove with X and ✓ symbols indicating heating conditions

Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to remove edges and take off any deposits left from manufacture.

Pressure cookers, preserving pans etc., should comply with the recommendations given above.

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.

NOTE

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

- Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the heated areas. 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.

Diagram showing two cooking pots with steam rising, one marked with an 'X' and the other with a checkmark.

  • 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.

Diagram showing two identical containers with steam rising from a tray, each marked with an 'X' symbol.

• To prolong the life of hotplates:-
- Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket.
• Never use an asbestos mat.
- Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan.
- Ensure that hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking to reduce cleaning.
- 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.

HOT HOB INDICATOR

The ceramic hob is fitted with a hot hob indicator light which illuminates when the hob is too hot to touch. The light will go OFF when the hob has cooled.

DEEP FAT FRYING

SPECIAL FRYING NOTE:

For safety purposes when deep fat frying, fill the pan one-third full of oil, DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended. In the unfortunate event of a fire, switch the cooker OFF at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames.

DO NOT use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it.

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.

  1. Preparing the food

Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and breadcrumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with batter coated foods as they will stick.

  1. Amount of oil

For safety purposes fill the pan only one-third full of oil.

  1. Testing the temperature of the oil

It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small cube of bread into the oil which should brown in just under a minute if the oil is at the correct temperature of 190^ C/375°F.

  1. Cooking the food

Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add too much food at once or the temperature of the oil will be reduced and may result in soggy, greasy food.

Turn the food if necessary; doughnuts float to the surface so will not brown on the upperside if not turned. Once cooked, drain the food on absorbent paper.

  1. Double frying chips

Double frying will ensure good chips. First fry the chips for a few minutes at 170^ C/340°F to seal the outside. Remove the chips from the oil. Increase the temperature of the oil to 190^ C/375°F to finish cooking and brown the chips.

Chips may be kept for several hours after the first frying before finishing off with the second frying.

PRESERVING

  1. DO NOT use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of the hob trim.
  2. To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be no more than one third full when all the ingredients have been added. It is better to use two pans rather than overfill one, or use half quantities.
  3. Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before using.
  4. Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally good flavour.
  5. Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not completely dissolved before bringing jam to the boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting properties and colour of the jam.
  6. To test jam for setting:

If a jam thermometer is available, boil jam to 104°C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106°C.

If a thermometer is not available, remove pan from heat, place sample of jam on a cold dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen food storage compartment of a refrigerator). When cold, it will crinkle and hold the mark of a finger run through it, if it is at setting point.

  1. The scum should be removed as soon as possible from the surface of the preserve after setting point has been reached. Marmalade should be allowed to cool before potting to prevent the peel rising.

THE GRILL

USES OF THE DUAL GRILL

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.

The Dual Grill on this appliance has been designed to heat up more quickly than conventional grill elements. It provides quick, direct heat and no preheating is necessary. It has a dual circuit facility 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.

NOTE

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING GRILLING.

If the grill door is accidentally closed during grilling a safety device incorporated in the cooker will cut out the grill.

The top oven cannot be operated when the grill is in use. If the grill and top oven controls are selected at the same time, only the top oven will operate.

Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as the grill cleans itself.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.

To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.

Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.

Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill.

HINTS AND TIPS

  • In order to become acquainted with the performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling.
  • 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.
  • Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different foods.
  • Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - HINTS AND TIPS - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a grater with three plates and a handle, no text or symbols present
  • When toasting bread use the shelf in position 1 with the grid in the high position.
  • Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking.
  • The food should be turned over during cooking as required.
  • When using the centre section of the dual grill, ensure food is positioned centrally on the grill pan grid in the grill pan.

NOTE

If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Tricity Bendix Service Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6.

THE TOP OVEN

USES OF THE 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. It is designed for cooking on one level and for small quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche.

The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 80^-100^ on the top oven control dial.

SELECTING THE TOP OVEN

OVEN PROGRAMMER 12 30 TIME SETTING MANUAL • COUNTDOWN • COOK TIME • END TIME • AUTOMATIC MAIN OVEN TOP OVEN DUAL GRILL BACK LEFT FRONT LEFT FRONT RIGHT BACK RIGHT

  • Turn the top oven temperature control to the required setting.
  • The cooling fan will operate immediately with the top oven. For more details on cooling fan operation see page 9.

THINGS TO NOTE

  1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is in use. If the grill and top oven controls are selected at the same time, only the top oven will operate.
  2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained.

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. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

Back of the Oven Straight Rods Frame

HINTS AND TIPS

- Most cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners.

1 2

- Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be cooked in the main oven. However, they may be cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food.

- Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - HINTS AND TIPS - 2

natural_image Line drawing of an oven with a lid and tray, no text or symbols present

- 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 directly below the element.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - HINTS AND TIPS - 3

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with a central component and surrounding grid structure (no text or symbols)

- DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - HINTS AND TIPS - 4

natural_image Simple line drawing of a kitchen appliance with a crossed-out black cross symbol (no text or labels)

- The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food. 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.

- DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking tray as this will increase base browning of the food.

- Because of the smaller cooking space, lower temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations on page 22.

- For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven.

THE MAIN FAN OVEN

USES OF THE FAN OVEN

The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fan oven cooking are:

PREHEATING

The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 - 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart on page 22. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20^ - 25^ for your own recipes.

BATCH BAKING

The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

SELECTING THE FAN OVEN

OVEN PROGRAMMER 12 30 TIME SETTING MANUAL - TIME + • COUNTDOWN • COOK TIME • END TIME • AUTOMATIC MAIN OVEN TOP OVEN DUAL GRILL BACK LEFT FRONT LEFT FRONT RIGHT BACK RIGHT

- Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

  1. The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.

  2. The interior oven light will come ON when the main oven control is turned.

TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES

The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

Back of the oven Straight Rods Frame

HINTS AND TIPS

- Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards.

1 2 3 4 5

- When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results.

- When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time.

- It is recommended that when baking larger quantities, the shelf positions should be evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight increase in cooking time may be necessary.

- DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly on the oven base as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning: use the lower shelf position. However, non critical dishes may be cooked on the oven base when more space is required.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - HINTS AND TIPS - 2

natural_image Simple line drawing of a microwave oven with a pan inside, crossed by a black diagonal line (no text or symbols)

- The use of excessively high temperatures can cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the recommendations given in the oven cooking chart see page 22.

The roasting temperatures and times given in the chart should be adequate for most joints, but slight adjustments may be required to allow for personal requirements and the shape and texture of the meat. However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints.

Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 30 - 60 min. cooking time.

DEFROSTING

USES OF DEFROST FEATURE

This main 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.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - USES OF DEFROST FEATURE - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a microwave oven with two macarons inside (no text or symbols)

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 prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 - 2 hours.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - USES OF DEFROST FEATURE - 2

natural_image Illustration of a food tray with meat and vegetables arranged on a griddle (no text or symbols)

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.

  • Turn the main oven temperature control to the defrost setting.
  • When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon may come ON. It will stay on until the oven reaches room temperature and then go OFF.
  • It may turn ON and OFF periodically during defrosting to maintain steady room temperature.

THINGS TO NOTE

Care must always be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when defrosting, cooking, cooling and freezing foods.

HINTS AND TIPS

- Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - HINTS AND TIPS - 1

natural_image Illustration of a food tray with meat cuts and a spoon, no text or symbols present
  • The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.
  • DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge.

BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE APPLIANCE DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF AT THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.

CLEANING MATERIALS

Before using any cleaning materials on your cooker, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided. Multi-surface anti bacterial products should not be used on the ceramic hob or on the surrounding trims.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER

DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, eg Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a hand cleaning a window with a brush (no text or symbols)

CLEANING THE WOODEN HANDLES AND CONTROL KNOBS

It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the handles and control knobs. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE SURFACE FINISH. Care should be taken, when cleaning, to ensure that all cleaning products are wiped from the control knobs immediately.

Do not remove the control knobs from the cooker as this is a safety hazard and you may damage the knobs.

natural_image Illustration of a hand using a tool to mark electrical hazard, with no visible text or symbols

CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB

Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to prevent soilage being burnt on.

Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the cleaning agents recommended.

DAILY CLEANING

Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off.

  1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre of each area to be cleaned.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - DAILY CLEANING - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a hand holding a pencil over a tray with five circles (no text or symbols)
  1. Dampen a clean paper towel or a plastic pad made specially for non-stick saucepans and rub vigorously until all marks are removed. This may take a few minutes.

  2. Wipe off residues of cleaner with another damp paper towel and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - DAILY CLEANING - 2

natural_image Line drawing of a hand placing a circle on a square grid (no text or symbols)

If Hob Brite is unavailable, one or more of the cleaning agents below may be used temporarily:

a) Jif Cream Cleaner

b) Baking Soda

TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS

  1. Bar-Keepers Friend may be used to clean off more stubborn stains or to remove discolourations.

It may be necessary to rub the marks hard for several minutes.

  1. Use a plastic pad specially for non-stick saucepans with Bar-Keepers Friend for removal of more stubborn soilage.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - TO REMOVE MORE STUBBORN MARKS - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a hand using a tool to mark circular features on a tray (no text or symbols)

TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE

We strongly recommend the use of a Ceramic Hob Scraper (incorporating a single edge razor blade) to remove spillage on the hob, in particular sugar solutions, which if not removed can cause permanent damage.

  1. Make sure the ceramic glass is cool.
  2. Use a ceramic hob scraper with care at an angle of 30^ to remove as much soilage as possible.
  3. Use Bar-Keepers Friend or Hob Brite to finish off as directed above.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - TO REMOVE BURNT ON SOILAGE - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a hand using a spatula to mark four circular shapes on a tray (no text or symbols)

TO REMOVE DISCOLOURATIONS OR WHITE AND SILVER MARKS

These marks sometimes give the impression of being in or underneath the hob glass. They can almost always be removed provided they have not become excessively burnt on. Follow the instructions under 'To Remove more Stubborn Marks' above.

If this is unsuccessful, make up a paste of one part water to three parts Cream of Tartar and leave on the discoloured areas overnight. The marks should be easily removable the next day provided they have not been excessively burnt on. The paste should be thoroughly washed off afterwards.

HINTS AND TIPS

TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE:

  • Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins.
  • Ensure saucepans are large enough to accommodate food to avoid boil overs.
  • If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
  • Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge to clean the hob. These may leave a layer of soiled detergent on the hob surface which will burn and discolour the next time the hob is used.

  • Avoid the use of:
    • Household detergents and bleaches.

  • Impregnated plastic or nylon pads that are not described as suitable for non-stick saucepans.
  • Brillo pads, Ajax pads, steel wool pads.
  • Chemical oven cleaners, e.g. aerosols and oven pads.
    • Rust stain, bath and sink stain removers.

  • Any of the above products may cause damage to the hob.

  • It is dangerous to mix different cleaning products. The chemicals in them may react with each other with hazardous results.
  • SOILAGE FROM SUGAR SOLUTIONS MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE HOB BEFORE THE SYRUP HAS SET OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO THE HOB SURFACE WILL OCCUR.
  • Avoid placing plastic items, aluminium foil or dishes on the hot surface as this will cause damage to the hob.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER

DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials eg Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a hand cleaning a window with a brush (no text or symbols)

CLEANING THE MEAT TIN, GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID, TRIVET AND OVEN SHELVES

All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher.

The grill pan, meat tin, trivet, and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning easier.

CLEANING THE DUAL GRILL

The Dual Grill will clean itself during normal use. However, if it has become excessively soiled, run the grill at full setting for approximately 3 minutes to burn off residues of food.

During this time smoke may be emitted from the grill area. The amount of smoke will depend on the soilage on the grill. Ventilate the kitchen, open a window if necessary.

DO NOT attempt to insert any item or implement through the grill mesh.

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL COMPARTMENTS

The sides and back of the ovens are coated with Stayclean enamel surfaces.

The Stayclean surfaces inside the ovens should not be cleaned manually. See Page 27 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL COMPARTMENTS - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a hand holding a device against a diagonal line, no text or symbols present

The vitreous enamel in the grill compartment base and the fan oven base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards.

Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with the elements or the door seal as this may cause damage.

CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES

Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats when the oven temperature is raised to around 220^ C.

It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per week to ensure continued good performance from the Stayclean finish.

HINTS AND TIPS

  • Manual cleaning of Stayclean surfaces is not recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays or abrasives of any kind are used.
  • Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surface may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way.
  • A good time to allow the oven to run on is after the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour or so. It is important NOT to allow a build-up of soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean from working.
  • Follow the recommendations below to keep oven soilage to a minimum.
  • Cook at the recommended temperatures. 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.
  • Use minimal, if any, extra 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.
  • Do use the trivet in the meat tin to prevent excess splattering onto the oven interior.
  • 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 condensation.
  • Covering joints during cooking will also prevent splashing onto the interior surfaces. Removing the covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra browning if required. Some large joints and turkeys especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing the joint to cook through before the outside is overbrowned.

CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS - 1

To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following:

• Household detergents and bleaches
- Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans
- Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
• Chemical oven pads or aerosols
- Rust removers
- Bath/Sink stain removers

CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS

The outer door glass is removable for cleaning.

TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS

  1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door.
  2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive screwdriver.
  3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand.
  4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you, lift slightly to disengage the locators from the two bottom brackets.

Please note that the door glass on your product may differ in type and shape from that shown in the diagram.

  1. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Hob Brite cleaner may be used. DO NOT try to clean the aluminium foil which is inside the door. The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is damaged it will not work. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dry before attempting to replace the outer door.

TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS

  1. Holding the oven glass with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door.

  2. Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.

  3. Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert the cross head screws into the location holes with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure.
  4. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive screwdriver before closing the oven door.

Do not attempt to use the oven without the glass being in place.

Tricity Bendix SIE532BU - TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS - 1

If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Please contact your local Service Centre who will be pleased to advise further.

TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR PANELS

Clean the inner door glass panels using a soft cloth and hot water to which a little washing up has been added. If the inner panel is heavily soiled, Hob Brite may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials on the door glass. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the glass.

REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB

The type of bulb required is a 300C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1. (Available through Tricity Bendix service centres).

CAUTION: Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply before replacing the bulb.

Open door and remove the shelves to enable easy access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat blade screwdriver between the oven side and the glass which covers the bulb.

Support the glass with your hand and prise out sufficiently to release the glass cover. Unscrew the bulb in an anticlockwise direction until it is possible to remove the bulb with ease.

Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise direction until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the flange is pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the glass by pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the bulb assembly.

Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary.

SOMETHING NOT WORKING?

We strongly recommend that you carry out the following checks on your cooker before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a simple one which you can solve yourself without the expense of a service call.

If our Service Engineer finds that the problem is listed below you will be charged for the call whether or not the cooker is under guarantee.

The cooker does not work at all:

* Check that the cooker has been wired in and is switched on at the wall.

* Check that the main cooker fuse is working.

* Check that the timer is set to manual (see page 12).

The grill and hotplates work but the oven does not:
