Frequently Asked Questions - TBD903W Tricity Bendix

How do I set the time of day on the oven timer?

Press the two buttons marked (( )) simultaneously while turning the increase control knob until the correct 24-hour time is displayed. The AUTO symbol will go out.

Can I use the grill with the oven door closed?

No, the grill door must be left open during grilling. The grill is designed to operate with the door open.

How do I clean the stayclean back panel in the main oven?

The stayclean surface should not be cleaned manually. Run the oven empty at a high temperature to burn off soilage. Avoid aerosol cleaners on this surface.

The oven light is not working. How do I replace it?

Disconnect the cooker from the power supply. Remove the shelves and use a flat screwdriver to prise off the glass cover. Unscrew the old bulb (25W, 300°C, small Edison screw) and replace with a new one. Reattach the glass cover.

What size baking trays should I use in the fan oven?

Do not use trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12" x 14") as they restrict heat circulation. Also avoid placing trays directly on the oven floor.

How do I set the oven to switch off automatically?

Press the cooking hours button, set the desired cooking time using the increase control. The AUTO symbol will appear. The oven will switch off at the end of the set time. For stopping time, press the stop time button and set the desired stop time.

Why is there condensation on the oven door?

Condensation is normal when cooking. Steam from food hits the cooler door surface and forms water droplets. Wipe it away regularly to prevent discolouration.

Can I use aluminium foil in the oven?

Never line any part of the oven with aluminium foil. It can cause overheating and damage. However, you can use foil to cover dishes if needed, but keep it away from elements.

What should I do if the grill cuts out after long use?

Allow the oven to cool for a couple of hours. The grill has a thermal cut-out for safety. If the cooling fan fails, the grill will not work; contact your local Service Force Centre.

How do I remove the outer door glass for cleaning?

Open the door slightly, loosen the two cross-head screws on top of the door, then tilt the glass towards you and lift it off the bottom brackets. Clean with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly before replacing.

• Do not remove the screws from the earth tab extending from the oven mains terminal block (Fig. 6).
• Before connecting the cooker make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. The rating plate can be seen by opening the oven door and looking below the oven door seal.
• Do not alter the electrical circuitry of this cooker.

THINGS TO NOTE

• This cooker is designed to be fitted in cabinets of the recommended dimensions as shown (Fig. 2).
• If your cabinet interior dimension is between 565-570mm the oven may still be fitted. However a minor modification to the cabinet will be required.
• The dimensions given provide adequate air circulation around the unit within the cabinet, ensuring compliance with BS EN60-335.
• Enquiries regarding the installation of the cooker point, if required, should be made to your Regional Electricity Company to ensure compliance with their regulations.
• The cooker socket switch should be outside the cabinet but within 2m of the cooker to make it accessible to switch off the cooker in case of an emergency.
• To protect the hands, wear gloves when lifting the oven into its housing.

NOTE: HOUSE CIRCUIT

Earth leakage and continuity tests must be carried out before the cooker is connected to the mains supply and re-checked after fitting.

GETTING THINGS READY

CHOICE OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• There are three possible ways to connect your cooker. In each case the cooker should be operated using at least 6mm² twin core and earth PVC insulated multicore cable. Please choose from the most appropriate after reading the different methods:- a) By connecting the cooker to a cooker point (having a double pole isolating switch with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles and neutral) and protected with a fuse or miniature circuit breaker at your mains fuse box.

Subject to Regional Electricity Companies regulations if you wish to connect the oven and hob to the power supply you may use one of the following two methods:-

b) By connecting the cooker together with a hob directly to a cooker point(s). Having a double pole isolating switch with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles and neutral. c) If you wish to connect an oven and a hob to a cooker point you can by connecting the oven and hob separately to the cooker point. Oven and hob units should be separately connected to a control panel. See Fig. 1.

NOTE: It is good practice to:

• Fit an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker to your house wiring. ● Wire your appliance to the latest IEE regulations.

PREPARING CABINET FOR FITTING OF OVEN

● Make sure the cabinet is the correct size for the appliance to be fitted (Ref. Fig. 2). - If the size is between 565-570mm, then the cabinet should be modified so that at the screw fixing points the recommended dimension of at least 560-565mm is maintained. The modification should ideally be localised to ensure that after screw fitment the oven is securely fixed into position. - The cabinet must be stable and level by firmly securing it to the wall or floor. If necessary, make arrangements to ensure the shelf upon which the oven will rest is level.

TOOLS REQUIRED

The following tools will be needed and it helps to assemble them before starting to install your oven:

A terminal screwdriver (3mm wide blade)

A pozidrive screwdriver

Pliers

Wire strippers

Knife

Side cutters

Adhesive tape

Tape measure

MAKE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Important: Switch off at mains, miniature circuit breaker and, if appropriate, remove fuse before commencing any electrical work.

PREPARING CABLE

We recommend you use a new length of cable to ensure your safety.

• Ensure you have the correct length of cable appropriate to the wiring method you are using. When fitting new cable allow sufficient cable for removal of the unit at a later date, should it be necessary.
• Score, but do not cut through, around the sheathing with a knife 100mm (4in) from each end of the cable and break through to the encased wires by bending the cable backwards and forwards to fatigue the sheathing.
• Carefully score down from each end of the cable sheathing along the length of the bare earth wire (if a cut was made along the length of the live or neutral wires, it might cut into their sheathing) to the cuts already made.
• Carefully prise open the sheathing at each end of the cable to expose the encased wiring.

TO REMOVE COVER OF MAINS TERMINAL

From the rear of the cooker, remove mains input terminal cover to gain access to terminal block.

- First remove retaining screw with pozidrive screwdriver. See Fig. 3.

- Prise cover loose using screwdriver in position (1) then lever off with screwdriver in position (2) at either side. See Fig. 4.

- Lift cover and remove screw from cable clamp. See Fig. 5.

CONNECTING TO MAINS TERMINAL

Warning: This cooker must be earthed.

- Make connection as shown in Fig. 6 by proceeding as follows:-

• Preform wires to the appropriate shape to suit fitting into the mains terminal block.
• Strip inner insulation on wires using wirestrippers.
• Twist the bared wires using pliers.
• Cut bared wires 10mm away from the end of the inner insulation. Where uninsulated Earth wires are used, ensure they are suitably sheathed to leave 10mm bare wire to fit into the terminal.
• Clamp bare wires into the relevant terminal and check they are held by tugging each one in turn.
• Clamp the mains cable securely, ensuring 5mm of the outer insulation is inside the terminal block and that the wires are not taut but not so slack as to cause any fouling. See Fig. 6.
• Place fuse/miniature circuit breaker in circuit and switch on at mains.

CONNECTING TO A HOB OR COOKER POINT

WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED.

Either follow in general terms the instructions for connecting to the terminal block or refer to the hob supplier's installation instructions.

Feed the cable through the cabinet and arrange to route the cable away from the cooker, which may become hot.

CHECKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: THIS COOKER MUST BE EARTHED

RATING PLATE

Record the model, product and serial numbers of your cooker on the back cover of this instruction book. These numbers can be found on the lower front frame of the cooker upon opening the main oven door.

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.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING THE OVENS

We suggest that you run all the elements for a short period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.

To do this, run the ovens at 220°C for approximately 45 minutes. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.

During this period an unpleasant 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 cooker.

To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

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 COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when either of the ovens are in use. It runs on after the controls are switched off until the cooker has cooled. During the initial period the cooling fan may cycle ON and OFF, this is quite normal.

Do not switch off the cooker at its power point before the cooling fan has cooled the appliance 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.

If the neons do 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.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the cooker. If you require replacements of any of the items listed below, please contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the relevant part number.

1 grill pan (311409401)

2 cranked shelves (for main oven cooking)

Scuffing of the Stayclean panel/s by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks will disappear after the oven elements have been burnt off for the first time.

TELESCOPIC RUNNERS

Your cooker is fitted with telescopic runners in the main oven.

To fit the shelf into the telescopic runner,

1. Ensure the telescopic runners are pushed back into the oven cavity before fitting the shelf.
2. Holding the front edge of the shelf with both hands, place the rear shelf forms over the telescopic runners.

In the event of an interruption of the electricity supply, the timer will reset itself to zero, and all programming will be cancelled.

7. Automatic Cooking

It is advisable to leave food in the main oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared food is well within its use by date and that home prepared food is fresh and of good quality.

When cooking is complete, do not leave food to stand in the main oven, but remove and cool it quickly if the food is not to be consumed immediately.

Always ensure food in the main oven has been covered before cooking if it is not possible to remove food immediately after cooking.

Hints and tips for automatic cooking

1 Check the instructions for setting the automatic controls until you are familiar with the timer operation.

2 If the main oven has been used, allow it to cool completely before using for automatic cooking.

3 You should leave food in the main oven for as short a time as possible before automatic cooking starts.

4 Do not leave food to stand in the main oven when it has finished cooking. You should remove it and if it is not going to be eaten at once, cool it quickly.

5 If you cannot remove food from the main oven as soon as it is cooked make sure that the food is covered.

6 Choose perishable foods carefully, especially during warm weather.

7 Food should be fresh and preferably straight from the refrigerator.

8 Joints of meat and poultry must be completely thawed.

9 Dishes containing left over cooked meat or poultry should not be cooked automatically if there is a delay period.

10 Choose dishes which require approximately the same cooking time. Slight variations may be allowed by:-

i placing foods in larger or smaller containers ii using more or less liquid iii cutting fruit or vegetables into larger or smaller pieces.

This will give longer or shorter cooking times respectively.

11 Arrange shelf positions to suit dishes and choose dishes which will fit into the main oven together.

12 As food may be standing for some time in the main oven, cover dishes with foil or a lid where possible, and in the case of roast potatoes and joints of meat, brush with a little fat or oil. Lemon juice may be added to fruit and vegetables to prevent browning.

13 Cream should be added just before serving.

14 If alcohol is used fermentation can occur.

15 Green leaf vegetables which take only a short time to cook, should not be placed into the main oven with the automatic meal. It is far better to cook them in a pan on the hotplate whilst dishing up the rest of the meal.

THE DUAL GRILL

USES OF THE DUAL GRILL

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

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the whole area of the grill can be used or, for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.

SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL

• Select the grill function for full grill.
• Select the grill function for centre section only.
• Turn the 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 so that 120°C or 150°C on the knob lines up with the off dot on the panel.

THINGS TO NOTE

THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING GRILLING.

1. The cooling fan for the controls will operate in conjunction with the grill.
2. The inner grill element may appear to glow slightly brighter than the outer element. This is quite normal.
3. The dual grill operates independently of the oven.

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.

Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan.

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

The Grill Pan must not be located in the shelf runners.

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.

- 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 underneath the grid when grilling meats.

• When toasting bread use the cranked shelf in position 2 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 90° - 100° C on the top oven control dial.

SELECTING THE TOP OVEN

O

O

• Turn the top oven function selector to

• Turn the temperature control to the required setting.

THINGS TO NOTE

1. 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 periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.
2. The cooling fan for the controls may operate, after a period of time.

TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF

The cranked 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.

HINTS AND TIPS

- All cooking should be carried out on shelf positions one and two using the self.

When more space is required, for example when roasting or casseroling, a straight shelf from the main oven may be placed on the top oven base.

- 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 below the element.

Dishes, tins and trays should not be placed directly on oven floor as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.

- 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 suitably sized baking trays to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning.

• The material and finish of the baking tray 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 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 25.
• 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

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 25. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20°C - 25°C for your own recipes.

BATCH BAKING

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

SELECTING THE FAN OVEN

- Turn the main fan 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 oven fan will operate continually during cooking. 3) The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a period of time. 4) The internal oven light will come on.

USING THE TELESCOPIC RUNNERS

1. Ensure the telescopic runners are pushed back into the oven cavity before fitting the shelf.
2. Holding the front edge of the shelf with both hands, place the rear shelf forms over the telescopic runners.
3. Slide the shelf into position, lifting slightly at the front so that the shelf locates into the retaining hooks. To remove, raise the front edge and withdraw the shelf.

Ensure the shelf is positively located before using.

HINTS AND TIPS

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

- 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.

- Do not use the cranked shelf from the grill in the main oven.

- 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 baking trays directly on the oven floor 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 placed on the oven base when more space is required.

- 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 25.

The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

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.

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.

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.

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.

SELECTING DEFROST

• Turn the main oven temperature control to the defrost setting ( ).
• The oven fan and internal oven light will come on.
• The cooling fan does not operate.

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 growth and cross contamination when defrosting, preparing, cooking, cooling and freezing foods.

HINTS AND TIPS

- Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over halfway 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.
• DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store cooked food in the fridge once it has cooled.

HELPFUL HINTS WHEN BUYING AND PREPARING FOOD

Care must 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 preparing, reheating, cooking, cooling, defrosting and freezing foods:-

1. Always ensure food you purchase is of good quality and in prime condition. Shop at a reliable source and buy the 'freshest' looking package - avoid shop-worn labels or produce covered in dust.
2. Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you cannot store them straight away. The use of an insulated container when shopping is advisable.
3. Buy and consume foods prior to the 'Sell by' or 'Best Before' date.
4. When you arrive home, place perishable foods in the refrigerator or freezer immediately. Ensure they are well covered to prevent them drying out and to prevent any possible cross contamination with bacteria from raw to cooked foods.
5. Follow the cooking instructions on packets of prepacked and cook chill foods, but be prepared to adjust cooking time and temperatures to suit your particular oven. For example, the fan oven generally requires 20-25°C lower temperature than conventional ovens.
6. Always ensure that cook chill foods are thoroughly re-heated until they are piping hot throughout.
7. It is preferable to defrost frozen foods slowly in the refrigerator. Alternatively, a microwave cooker or the Defrost function on your oven may be used.
8. Always cook defrosted foods immediately after thawing. Thawed food should never be refrozen.
9. Joints of meat and poultry should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking.
10. Cook meat thoroughly - use a meat thermometer if preferred, which penetrates the joint to check that the centre temperature has reached the required temperature (see table below).

MEAT TEMPERATURES
Beef	Rare -	60°CMedium -70°CWell Done - 80°C
Pork	Well Done - 80°C
Lamb	Medium - 70°CWell Done - 80°C

1. If not eaten straightaway after cooking, food should be cooled as quickly as possible (within one hour) and then refrigerated or frozen as required. (Do not put hot food into a Refrigerator or Freezer).
2. In the kitchen keep work tops, chopping boards and utensils clean with hot soapy water between preparation stages. Ideally, keep one chopping board for raw meat and another for other foods. Keep your dish cloths and tea towels clean.

CARE AND CLEANING

BEFORE CLEANING ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE COOKER 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.

CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE COOKER

DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials or scourers on the outside of the cooker, as some of the finishes are painted and damage may occur. Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE PANEL AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

Under no circumstances should the door assembly be detached from the product for cleaning. Please refer to the cleaning instructions.

CLEANING INSIDE THE OVENS AND GRILL COMPARTMENT

The vitreous enamel coating in the fan oven / top oven and grill compartment 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 come into contact with the door seal as this may cause damage.

CARE OF STAYCLEAN SURFACES

The back panel of the fan oven is coated with a Stayclean finish. This should not be cleaned manually. Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with elements or the door seal, as this may cause damage. During normal use the Stayclean coating will become splashed with fats and food residues. By running the oven without food, the Stayclean surfaces burn off any soilage.

CLEANING THE GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID AND OVEN SHELVES

All parts, except the grill pan handle and telescopic runners, can be washed in the dishwasher. Alternatively, soak them in hot soapy water if they are heavily soiled. They will then clean more easily.

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

CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS

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

Under no circumstances should the door assembly be detached from the product for cleaning. Please refer to the cleaning instructions.

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 with one hand, before removing the screws completely with the other hand.

The screws and washers retain the trim on the top of the grill / top oven door.

Note the position of the trim on the door.

1. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you. Lift slightly to disengage the locators from the two bottom brackets. The door will remain in a parked position at an angle of approximately 30°.

1. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Hob Brite. 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 glass.

TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS

1. Open the oven door with care and place in the park position at an angle of approximately 30°.

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. Ensure the trim is correctly positioned on the top oven / grill door.
4. Hold the glass in place at the top of the door. Insert the cross head screws into the location holes. Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure.
5. Tighten the screws positively with the Pozidrive screwdriver before closing the oven door.

DO NOT attempt to use the oven without the glass being in place.

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 liquid 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 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1. (Available through Tricity Bendix service centres).

CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE COOKER 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 anti-clockwise 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.

REMOVING AND REPLACING WIREWORK SIDE RUNNERS

Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven. Always ensure the telescopic runners are pushed back into place in the oven cavity. Hold the bottom of the wirework runners and draw the runners towards the centre of the oven. Unhook from the top and remove.

The telescopic runners should be dried carefully after washing in hot water to which washing up liquid has been added. If heavily soiled mild abrasives may be used.

To replace the runners, hook the wirework side runner into the cavity, slide back and press into place.

Ensure the wirework runners are firmly in position before replacing the oven shelves.
