WARNING:-

Unattended cooking on a hob can be dangerous and may result in fire. NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a damp cloth.

Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surface.

If the surface is cracked, broken or shattered, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock and call for a service engineer's visit.

Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.

Ensure you switch off the appropriate cook zone individually or (by the central on/off key if touch control) when you have finished cooking, do not rely upon the automatic pan detection system as your means of switching "off" the

appliance. This induction hob complies with the applicable EMC and EMF standards. Therefore it should not interfere with other electronic units. Persons fitted with a pacemaker or any other electrical implant should clarify with their doctor or the producer of the implant, whether there implant is adequate and fail-safe, the pacemaker must be designed in compliance with the appropriate regulations.

Caution: This appliance is for cooking purposes only. It must not be used for other purposes, for example room heating.

OVEN/GRILL

Do

• Always take care when removing food from the oven as the area around the cavity may be hot. • Always use oven gloves when handling any utensils that have been in

the oven as they will be hot.

• Always make sure that the oven shelves are resting in the correct position between two runners. Do not place the oven shelves on top of the highest runner, as this is not stable and can lead to spillage or injury.

Always use the Minute Minder (if fitted) if you are leaving the oven unattended - this reduces the risk of food burning.

Do Not

• Never place items on the door while it is open.
• Never wrap foil around the oven shelves or allow foil to block the flue.
• Never drape tea towels near the oven while it is on; this will cause a fire hazard.
• Never pull heavy items, such as turkeys or large joints of meat, out from the oven on the shelf, as they may overbalance and fall.
• Never use this appliance to heat anything other than food items and do not use it for heating the room.
• Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.
• Do not store or use flammable liquids or items in the vicinity of this appliance.
• Do not modify this appliance.

GENERAL

Do

• Always ensure that pan bases are dry and flat before using them on the hob. Always position pans over the centre of the heat zone, and turn the handles to a safe position so they cannot be knocked or grabbed. Always use pans which are no smaller than 100mm (4"), or no larger than 250mm (10").

the handles to a safe position so they cannot be knocked or grabbed. Always use pans which are no smaller than 100mm (4"), or no larger than 250mm (10").

• Always match the size of pan to the size of the heat zone – do not use large pans on small zones or vice versa.
• Always lift pans onto and off the hob, rather than sliding them across the surface, to avoid marks and scratches.

If the appliance has a glass hobtop, never drag pans across the ceramic surface as this will lead to scratches and damage.

• If the appliance has a glass hobtop, never drag pans across the ceramic surface as this will lead to scratches and damage.
• Never use double pans, rim-based pans, old or misshapen pans, or any pan that is not stable on a flat surface.
• Never leave cooking fat, or oil, unattended.
• Never use commercial simmering aids, or heat diffusers, as they create excessive heat and can damage the surface of the hob.
• Never use the hob for any other purpose than cooking food.
• Never leave plastic cooking utensils close or on top of the hob as these can melt due to the warm hob.
• Never leave any cook zone on without a pan covering it. This causes a fire hazard.
• Never leave pans overhanging the edge of the hob. The surface of the hob is smooth. If pans are knocked they may move on the hob top.
• Never leave pans on the hob when you're not around - take them off the cook zone

FIRE SAFETY ADVICE

Most kitchen fires occur when people are distracted or leave things unattended, so remember:

If you're called away from the cooker - by the phone or someone at the door, either take pans off the heat, or switch off your hob.

Don't let yourself be distracted while cooking.

If you do have a fire in the kitchen, don't take any risks - get everyone out of your home and call the Fire Brigade.

If a pan catches fire:

• Do not move it - it is likely to be extremely hot.
• Turn off the heat if it's safe to do so - but never lean over a pan to reach the controls.
• If you have a fire blanket, put it over the pan.
• If you have put the fire out, leave the pan to cool completely.

Deep-fat frying presents more dangers in your kitchen.

• Never fill a chip pan (or other deep-fat fryer) more than one-third full of oil.
• Do not use a fire extinguisher on a pan of oil - the force of the extinguisher can spread the fire and create a fireball.

If you have an electrical fire in the kitchen:

• Pull the plug out, or switch off the power at the fuse box - this may be enough to stop the fire immediately.
• Smother the fire with a fire blanket, or use a dry powder or carbon dioxide extinguisher.
• Remember: never use water on an electrical or cooking oil fire.

USING THE HOTPLATE

• Commercial simmering aids should not be used as they create excessive temperatures that can damage the surface and may cause a hazard.
• Do not place aluminium foil or plastic utensils on the ceramic glass, as they may melt and damage the surface.
• Do not use the ceramic glass hotplate surface for storage.
• When cooking with fat or oil, never leave unattended.
• Turn pan handles to a safe position, so they are out of reach of children, not overhanging the appliance, and cannot be caught accidentally.
• Position pans over the centre of the hotplate elements.
• Do not use the hob as a chopping board or a storage area, as this increases the likelihood of it being damaged - e.g.; plastic utensils placed on a warm hob may melt onto it, and damage the ceramic glass surface.
• Be careful when cooking foods in salted water, or foods containing large amounts of sugar, syrup or jam - if they are spilled onto hot areas of the hob they may damage it.
• Lift pans onto and off the surface, rather than sliding them across the surface, to avoid marks and scratches.
• If you use a wet paper towel to remove spills from a warm heating area of the hob, be careful to avoid steam burns.
• Do not use abrasive powder cleaners, metal wire wool pads, impregnated plastic pads, detergents, bleaches, bath stain removers, or chemical oven cleaners; all these types of products will damage the ceramic glass.
• Pans should not be allowed to come into contact with coloured trims during use as this may cause discolouration of the surface.

About the induction hob

Ensures energy isn't wasted.

The induction hob provides the most energy efficient hob technology available.

The induction system provides superior heat up and cool down times for pans - you get fast, precise, repeatable power control.

As induction only heats up the pan, there is no lost heat from the cooking process, which in turn, limits the heat generated in the kitchen.

Auto Power Tuning

Induction hobs have a unique power tuning system that automatically tunes the power to the size of the pan base.

Small Pan

Large Pan

Initial Power Up (Switching on the Electrical Supply to the Hob)

After connecting the hob to the mains electrical supply, all segments of the displays are illuminated (lit) and a beep sounds.

The hob then initialises, after which all displays are deactivated (LEDs go out) and a beep sounds.

If there is an initialisation problem or if a control knob is not set to the off position, all displays remain lit until the initialisation problem is solved or the control knobs are turned to the off position.

To Turn the Hob 'ON' / 'OFF'

To turn the hob 'ON', turn the control knob for the required cook zone clockwise to set the cook zone to the desired power setting (1 to 9). The power display will automatically light up and will "beep".

To turn the hob 'OFF', turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the 'OFF' position.

When a cook zone is switched off, a beep sounds and the corresponding display shows the power level "0". 10 seconds after switching off, a beep sounds and the corresponding display is switched off (as shown below).

Control Knob Safety Feature "o"

If at any time you see the "o" symbol, it means that a control knob has been left on and needs to be turned to the off position (reset) before the hob can be used. This is to ensure that power isn't accidentally switched on to a cook zone (i.e., turn the control knob off and back on to continue using).

Power Boost P

Temporarily boost the power to a cook zone by approx 25%. All zones can be boosted for a period of up to 10 minutes.

When booster is selected, a beep sounds and the corresponding display shows a "P" symbol.

The booster function only works for a limited period. After 10 minutes of boost power level, the cook zone is automatically deactivated, a beep sounds and the corresponding display shows a "o" symbol.

The corresponding control knob has to be turned back to the off position (reset) before a new cook zone power level can be set. (i.e. turn the control knob off and back on to continue using).

Griddle Zone

Large pans and griddle plates can be placed across the two left hand zones.

! Dry or empty Griddles and Frying pans can heat up very quickly on power settings greater than 5, this can, if not closely monitored lead to the induction showing a overheat warning "Shown by a flashing C" The induction unit will automatically reduce the power used until the hob has sufficiently cooled down. Once cooled down to an acceptable level the power will automatically be restored and the flashing "C" will stop. You can carry on cooking using the residual heat why the hob is cooling down "flashing C".

Pan Detection

The above "U" symbol appears when a zone has been activated but no pan has been placed on the cook zone.

If the "U" symbol does not disappear when a pan is placed on the zone it indicates that the pan is not suitable for induction cooking.

Note This means the hob only uses power when a suitable pan is placed on the zone, this reduces the energy used during the cooking process, i.e. when you take your pan off the zone the hob automatically reduces the power, and only switches back on when you replace the pan.

Pans and cookware for induction hobs.

Pans and Cookware for induction cooking zones must be made of ferrous material such as cast iron and have magnetic properties. The base must also be of the correct diameter.

It is important that good quality, flat bottomed pans are used.

If a pan creates a large air gap over the middle of the cooking zone, the accuracy of the built in temperature sensor can be effected.

Always ensure that pan bases are dry before using them on the hob.

To check on the suitability of a pan, place a magnet onto the base of the pan. If the magnet does not stick to the pan, it is not suitable for use on the induction hob.

Beware:- Not all induction pans are of the same quality due to their construction. Pans that use enamelled/laminated/encapsulated bases can be difficult to detect, especially small pans (e.g. milk pans)

This problem is not with the induction hob but with the pan type. They can have bases which are magnetic but are not thick enough! If you experience problems with small pans we recommend that you to try a larger pan or a pan of a different construction. Solid cast iron pans give the best performance.

Induction Cook Zone	Smallest Recommended Diameter (mm)
LHF 150
LHR 120
RHR 150
RHF 120

Pans unsuitable for Induction:

Pans made of copper, stainless steel, aluminium, oven proof glass, wood, ceramic and terra-cotta.

Overheat Pan Protection

The hob is equipped with additional safety systems that help to prevent cookware from overheating, providing an additional level of safety not available on conventional hobs such as gas and ceramic hobs.

This helps to reduce the risk of fire through misuse of the hob.

If there is an overheat situation, the hob will display the appropriate code detailed in the "hob status codes table" (next page).

Approx Glass Temperature °C	Hob Action
190	Automatic Power Reduction
220	Power Automatically Shuts down

Note:-

The safety temperature control of the pans is only possible with quality flat bottomed pans suitable for induction cooking; Poor quality pans can create air gaps between the glass and the pan, which affects the accuracy of the temperature control.

Residual Heat Indicators "H"

If the glass surface is above 65° C when the cook zone is switched off, a "H" will be displayed in the cook zone display until the glass surface drops below approximately 55° C.

This feature not only warns you against hot surfaces but also indicates that there is residual heat which can be used as a temporary warm zone.

Note:

The cook zone itself does not heat up, but the ceramic glass does get hot because of the hot pan conducting heat back onto the hob glass.

Auto Standby

The hob will automatically switch off if left (with pan) on for an extended period of time. See maximum running times below.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The hob produces a smell the first few times it is used.

Heat a pan full of water on each zone for half an hour.

Pans make a noise during cooking.

This is caused by vibration due to the passage of energy from the hob to the pan. On a high setting this is quite normal for certain types of saucepan. It will not damage the hob.

The hob makes a slight clicking sound.

This is caused by the distribution of power between two heating zones on the same side of the hob.

The fan keeps working for a few minutes after the hob has been turned off.

To cool down the electronics.

The hob won't work, the indicators don't come on.

The electricity supply is not reaching the appliance (faulty supply or connection). Check the fuses and the cut-out switch.

Refer to the Troubleshooting chart. Also try switching power off/on to the appliance to reset the electronics. If the problems persist, call the customer service hotline for further assistance.

Contact details can be found on the customer care page.

If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot, use oven gloves to move it.

Food for grilling should be positioned centrally on the trivet.

Using the grill

WARM

- Full grill at 1/4 power

OR GRILL LO

- Centre grill at full power

OR GRILL HI

- Full grill area at full power

Important: The grill door must be fully open when the grill is used.

Open the grill door. Turn the control knob to the required setting. For best cooking results, we recommend that you preheat the dual grill for 3 minutes and the single grill for 5 minutes.

For grilling small quantities of food, the centre (economy) grill can be used with the grill trivet inverted. For large quantities of food, the full grill can be used.

Push the grill pan towards the back of the shelf, to position it under the grill.

The speed of grilling can be controlled by adjusting the grill setting or by selecting a higher or lower shelf position. For toasting, and for grilling foods such as bacon, sausages or steaks, use a higher shelf position. For thicker foods such as chops or chicken joint pieces, use a middle to low shelf position.

The grill trivet, inside the grill pan, can be inverted to give a high or low position, or it may be removed.

To switch off, turn the control knob to the off ● position.

Using aluminium foil

Using aluminium foil to cover the grill pan, or putting items wrapped in foil under the grill creates a fire hazard.

The cooling fan

When the grill is switched on, the cooling fan comes on to keep the fascia and control knobs cool during grilling. The fan may continue to operate for a period after the grill has been switched off.

During use the fan may cycle on and off, this is normal.

When you are cooking keep children away from the vicinity of the oven.

Caution: The top element gets extremely hot when in use, so take extra care to avoid touching it.

The top oven is a conventional oven.

Note: The top oven is not controlled by the programmer (if fitted).

To turn on the top oven

Turn the temperature control knob until the required temperature is selected.

The red thermostat indicator will come on until the selected temperature is reached, and then go off; it will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature.

To switch off, return the top oven control knob to the off position.

Important: Never put items directly on the base of the oven, or cover the oven base with foil, as this may cause the element to overheat. Always position items on the shelf.

The cooling fan

When the top oven is switched on, you will hear the cooling fan come on - this keeps the fascia and control knobs of the appliance cool during cooking. The fan may continue to operate for a period after the oven control has been switched off.

Preheating

The oven must be preheated when cooking frozen or chilled foods, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés, and whisked sponges.

Preheat the oven until the indicator light switches off for the first time, this will take up to 15 minutes depending on the temperature selected.

If you are not preheating the oven, the cooking times in the following guide may need to be extended, as they are based on a preheated oven.

Shelf positions

There are either 3 or 4 shelf positions, depending on which model you have purchased. These are counted from the bottom of the oven upwards, so shelf position 1 is the lowest.

When cooking frozen or chilled food, use the highest possible shelf position, while allowing some clearance between the food and the top element.

The oven shelf must be positioned with the up-stand at the rear of the oven and facing up. Position baking trays and roasting tins on the middle of the shelves, and leave one clear shelf position between shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.

When using the top oven

As part of the cooking process, hot air is expelled through a vent at the top of the oven(s). When opening the oven door, care should be taken to avoid any possible contact with potentially hot air, since this may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin. We recommend that you hold the underneath of the oven door handle.

TOP OVEN BAKING GUIDE

Cooking times

These times are based on cooking in a preheated oven.

These cooking times are approximate, because the size and type of cooking dish will influence time as personal preferences.

Shelf positions

As a general guide, when cooking frozen or chilled food, use the highest possible shelf position, while allowing some clearance between the food and the top element. Follow the instructions given on packaging.

Cooking temperatures

The temperature settings and time given in the Baking Guides are based on dishes made with block margarine. If soft tub margarine is used, it may be necessary to reduce the temperature setting. If a recipe gives a different temperature setting to that shown in the guide, the recipe instruction should be followed.

Because the top oven is more compact, it may be necessary to reduce cooking temperatures specified in recipes by up to 20°C.

Use the baking guide as a reference for determining which temperatures to use.

Item Temperature	(°C)	Shelf Position	Approximate cooking time
Small cakes	180	1	15 - 20 mins
Victoria sandwich (2 x 180mm / 7")	160	1	20 - 25 mins

Accessible parts may be hot when the oven is used. Young children should be kept away.

To switch on the oven

Turn the oven control knob(s) to the required setting.

The red thermostat indicator (if fitted) will come on until the selected temperature is reached and then go off; it will turn on and off periodically as the thermostat operates to maintain the selected temperature.

To switch off, return the control knob to the off ● position.

When using the oven

As part of the cooking process, hot air is expelled through a vent in the oven. When opening the oven door, care should be taken to avoid any possible contact with potentially hot air, since this may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin. We recommend that you hold the underneath of the oven door handle.

PREHEATING

Fanned oven

When cooking sensitive items such as souffle and Yorkshire puddings or, when cooking bread, we recommend that the oven is preheated until the neon switches off for the first time. For any other types of cooking, a preheat may not be required.

Conventional oven

Preheating is always required

Manual Operation (fanned only)

The programmer must be set to manual operation before the main oven can be used. If A (Auto) is on the programmer display, return the oven to manual by pressing the up and down buttons simultaneously. Any programme which has been set is cancelled.

The oven shelf must be positioned with the upstand at the rear of the oven and facing upwards.

Position baking trays and roasting tins on the middle of the shelves.

Baking tray and roasting tins

For best cooked results and even browning, the recommended size baking trays and roasting tins that should be used are as follows;

Baking tray 350mm x 250mm

This size of baking tray will hold up to 12 small cakes.

Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm

We recommend that you use good quality cookware. Poor quality trays and tins may warp when heated, leading to uneven baking results.

Slow cooking (S Setting or 100°C)

• Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking. - Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry weighing more than 2 1/4 kg/4 1/2 lb. - Preheat the oven to 170°C and cook for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven control to S or 100°C (slow cook setting) for the remainder of the cooking time. - Slow cooking times will be about 3 times as long as conventional cooking times. - Do not open the oven door unnecessarily during slow cooking, as this will result in heat loss at low temperatures. - Always use dishes with tightly fitting lids. To rectify badly fitting lids, place foil over the dish underneath the lid.

Aluminium foil

Use foil only to cover food or cooking dishes, using foil to cover the shelves or oven base creates a fire hazard.

Cooking with a fanned oven

As this is a high efficiency oven, you may notice the emission of steam from the oven when the door is opened. Please take care when opening the door.

If you are used to cooking with a conventional oven, you will find a number of differences when cooking with a fan oven that will require a different approach:

There are no zones of heat in a fan oven, as the convection fan at the back of the oven ensures an even temperature throughout.

This makes it ideal for batch baking - e.g., when planning a party, as all items will be cooked within the same length of time.

Foods are cooked at a lower temperature than in a conventional oven, so conventional recipe temperatures may need to be reduced. Please refer to the conversion chart.

Preheating is generally not necessary, as a fan oven warms up quickly.

There is no flavor transference in a fan oven, meaning you can cook strong-smelling foods such as fish at the same time as mild foods - e.g., milk puddings.

When batch baking foods that rise during cooking - e.g., bread - always ensure enough space is left between shelves to allow for the rise.

Notes:

When using 2 or more shelves, it may be necessary to increase the cooking time slightly.

Because the oven shelves are wider than in many ovens, it is possible to cook 2 items per shelf - e.g., 2 Victoria sandwiches or 2 casseroles.

Although you need to keep in mind the points 'To help the air circulate freely' with careful choice of dishes and tins, it is possible to cook a complete meal, and perhaps something else for the freezer, in the oven at the same time.

When roasting meats, you will notice that fat splashing is reduced, which is due in part to the lower oven temperatures, and will help keep cleaning of the oven to a minimum.

Because a fan oven has an even temperature throughout, there is no need to follow the shelf positions given in the baking guide.

There is no need to interchange dishes onto different shelves part way through cooking, as with a conventional oven.

To help the air circulate freely

Position the shelves evenly within the oven and maintain a clearance from the oven roof and base.

If more than one cooking dish or baking tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a gap of at least 25mm between the items themselves and the oven interior.

Defrosting and cooling in the main oven

To defrost frozen foods, turn the main oven control to the defrost position, place the food in the centre of the oven and close the door.

To cool foods after cooking prior to refrigerating or freezing, turn the main oven control to the defrost position and open the door.

Defrosting times

Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or meat - e.g., fish fillets, prawns, and mince will take approximately 1-2 hours.

Placing the food in a single layer will reduce the thawing time.

A medium-sized casserole or stew will take approximately 3-4 hours.

A 1.5kg/3lb oven-ready chicken will take approximately 5 hours; remove the giblets as soon as possible.

Be safe

Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this method.

Do not defrost larger joints of meat and poultry over 2kg/4lb using this method.

Never place uncooked food for defrosting next to cooked food which is to be cooled, as this can lead to cross-contamination.

Defrosting meat, poultry, and fish can be accelerated using this method, but make sure they are completely thawed before cooking thoroughly. Place meat and poultry on a trivet in a meat tin.

MAIN OVEN BAKING GUIDE

Cooking times & temperatures

The temperature settings and times given in the baking guide are based on dishes made with block margarine. If soft tub margarine is used, it may be necessary to reduce the temperature setting.

Allow enough space between shelves for food that will rise during cooking.

Do not place items on the oven base as this will prevent air circulating freely.

Note: This is a high efficiency oven, therefore some adjustment will have to be made to conventional cooking temperatures. The table below shows conventional cooking temperatures, 'A' efficiency temperatures and gas marks. For optimum results,

conventional temperatures need to be converted to 'A' efficiency temperatures.

For example, an item which would normally cook at a conventional temperature of 180 °C, will now cook at the 'A' efficiency temperature of 160°C.

Conventional temperature (°C)	'A' Efficiency Oven (°C)	Gas Mark

Traditional fruit cakes

It should be remembered that ovens can vary over time, therefore cooking times can vary, making it difficult to be precise when baking fruit cakes.

It is necessary therefore, to test the cake before removal from the oven. Use a fine warmed skewer inserted into the centre of the cake. If the skewer comes out clean, then the cake is cooked.

• Follow the temperatures suggested in the recipe and then adjust accordingly to the conversion table.
• Do not attempt to make Christmas cakes larger than the oven can cope with, you should allow at least 25mm (1") space between the oven walls and the tin.
• Always follow the temperatures recommended in the recipe.
• To protect a very rich fruit cake during cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper around the tin.
• We recommend that the cake tin is not stood on layers of brown paper, as this can hinder effective circulation of air.
• Do not use soft tub margarine for rich fruit cakes, unless specified in the recipe. • Always use the correct size and shape of tin for the recipe quantities.

Roast turkey

Roasting turkey involves cooking two different types of meat - the delicate light breast meat, which must not be allowed to dry out, and the darker leg meat, which takes longer to cook.

The turkey must be roasted long enough for the legs to cook, so frequent basting is necessary. The breast meat can be covered once browned.

• Always make sure that the turkey is completely thawed and that the giblets are removed before cooking.
• Turkey should be roasted at 160°C - 180°C (fanned) or 180°C - 200°C (conventional) for 20 minutes per 450g (1 lb), plus 20 minutes, unless packaging advises otherwise.
• The turkey can be open roasted, breast side down, for half of the cook time, and then turned over for the remainder of the cooking time.
• If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes per 450g (1 lb) to the cooking time.
• If roasting turkey covered with foil, add 5 minutes per 450g (1 lb) to the cooking time.

To test if the turkey is cooked, push a fine skewer into the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear, the turkey is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the turkey will need longer cooking.

Roasting guide

The times given in the roasting guide are only approximate, because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of the bone.

Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. For large joints it is advisable to thaw over night.

Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. The time required depends on the size of the bird - eg; a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to thaw.

Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will reduce fat splashing and will help to keep the oven interior clean. Alternatively, to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes or other vegetables can be roasted around the meat/poultry.

Notes:

• When cooking stuffed meat or poultry calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
• For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time.
• Smaller joints weighing less than 1.25kg (2½lb) may require 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time.
• Position the oven shelf so that the meat or poultry is in the centre of the oven.
• It is recommended that the appliance is cleaned after open roasting.

THE ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMMERS

There are two types of programmer covered in this section - push button & touch control. Both programmers have the same symbol variants & functions but may vary in their method of operation.

The push button programmer

Symbol	Symbol	What is it?
		Down/minusUsed to decrease cook / end time, remove minutes from the minute minder and adjust the time of day. Also for listening to and setting the alarm tone.
		Up/plusUsed to increase cook / end time, add minutes to the minute minder and adjust the time of day.

FUNCTIONor	MODE	Function buttonUsed to select the functions available on this timer.Press once for: Minute Minder.Press twice for: Cook timePress three times for: End time.How to use these functions is explained later on in this section.

The 'function' button in the centre is used for setting the minute minder and setting up the automatic cooking. See below for details.

Symbols on the LED display.

This 'A' symbol appears when either a semi, or fully automatic program is selected. This symbol will flash while a program is being set.

Once a program is set the symbol will light up, and remain lit until the alarm sounds, or the program is cancelled.

This bell symbol appears when the Minute Minder function has been selected.

While the Minute Minder is being set, the Bell symbol flashes. Once the length of time is set, the Bell symbol remains lit until the time runs down, or the function is cancelled.

This message and 'A' symbol appear when you are asked to set the length of time you require the oven to cook automatically for. Using the Up and Down buttons adjusts this accordingly.

This message

and 'A' symbol appear when you are asked to enter in an end time, or when you would like the oven to switch itself off.

To set the time of day

• Press the Up and Down buttons together for a few seconds, and release.
• The '•' in between the numbers on the LED Display will begin to flash.
• While the '•' is flashing it is possible to adjust the time using the Up and Down buttons. Once the time has been set, allow approximately 30 seconds before using any of the other timer functions. This ensures that the time will remain correct.

To select an alarm tone

There are three tones to choose from.

• Press and hold the down button to listen to the first tone.
• Release the down button and press it again to listen to the second tone etc.
• Releasing the down button after the tone has sounded will automatically select that tone.

Setting the minute minder

• To set the Minute Minder, press the Function button once. The bell symbol will appear and start flashing. The flashing only lasts for 5 seconds so the time must be set within this time frame.
• Use the Up and Down button to set the length of time required. Once this has been done, the Minute Minder is set.
• When the desired length of time has counted down the alarm will sound.
• To cancel the tone, press any of the buttons.
• To cancel the Minute Minder at any time, press the Up and Down buttons together.

Semi-automatic cooking

There are two types of semi automatic cooking available on this appliance.

The oven must be switched on, and in use to use either of these functions successfully.

The Duration method allows you to set the oven for a specific length of time. If a dish needed 2 hours to cook, then it would be possible for you to set the oven to turn off 2 hours later. This allows you to be sure that your food will be cooked for a set length of time and no longer.

The End Time method allows you to enter a specific time when you would like the oven to switch off. If you wish to leave the oven unattended, then it offers peace of mind that the oven will have turned itself off at the set time.

However, once the program is set then it cannot be adjusted. Extra time cannot be added, nor can the end time be extended.

To cancel the semi automatic programs, press both the Up and Down buttons together. This can be done at any time during the cooking process. Then if necessary, re program.

For the instructions on how to use both of these functions, please see the following page.

Fully automatic cooking

This function incorporates both a duration and an end time and is meant to be used when you wish to delay the start time.

We recommend that the first few times this function is used you are in the house, this will familiarise you with your oven and prevents food from being over cooked or under cooked.

Care must be taken when selecting foods for this function, it is not recommended for certain food items which may spoil, or are sensitive to being left.

It is also advisable to set the end time to be as close to your return as possible to prevent food being left standing.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC COOKING

The duration method

• Press the Function button twice, (1) which will skip past the Minute Minder.
• The LED display will flash the word 'dur', (2) and the 'A' will flash on the left hand side of the display.
• Use the Up and Down buttons to set the length of time you want to cook for. (3) This must be done within 5 seconds or the time of day will show again.

Once this is done the oven will automatically switch off once the time has elapsed, and the alarm will sound.

To switch off the alarm, press any button. To view any remaining time press the function button twice.

The end time method

• Press the Function button three times, which will skip past the Minute Minder and the Duration programmer. (4)
• The LED display will flash the word 'End' and the 'A' will flash on the left hand side of the display. (5)
• Use the Up and Down buttons to select the time the oven is required to turn off. (6)

Once this is done the oven will turn itself off at the time you have selected.

• Do not use undiluted bleaches, products containing chlorides, wire wool or abrasive cleaners on aluminium, stainless steel, or plastic/painted parts as they can damage the appliance. Nylon pads can also be unsuitable.
• Take extra care when cleaning over symbols on fascia panels. Excessive cleaning can lead to the symbols fading.
• If your product is fitted with stainless steel cladded strips, you may notice a small white residue on the outer edges. This can be removed with a non-abrasive wipe.

Painted & Plastic parts

• Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, wire or nylon cleaning pads on these parts.

Stainless steel & Aluminium surfaces

• Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, and dry with a soft cloth.
• Stubborn marks can be removed using a stainless steel cleaner. Supplies can be purchased from the Customer Care Centre.
• Sharp objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, but will become less noticeable with time.
• Wipe any spillage immediately, taking care to avoid burning your hands.
• Some foods are corrosive, e.g., vinegar, fruit juices, and especially salt. They can mark or damage the metal if left on the surface.
• Baby oil can be used to restore stainless steel finishes, but only use a few drops. Don't use cooking oils as they can contain salts, which will damage the metal.

- Do not use steam cleaners.

Enamel surfaces & parts

• Clean with warm, soapy water and a clean cloth.
• If larger splashes of fat do not readily disappear, you can use a mild cream cleaner to remove them. More stubborn marks can be removed using a soap filled pad.
• Rinse well and dry with a soft clean towel or cloth.
• Do not use steam cleaners.

Glass parts

WARNING:- Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

- Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, or a specialist glass cleaner.

Rinse away any excess cleaner and dry with a soft cloth.

Chrome plated parts

- Use a moist soap filled pad, or place in a dishwasher

REMOVING OVEN PARTS FOR CLEANING

Inner Door Glass (glass doors only)

• The inner door glass panel can be removed for cleaning but it must be replaced the right way up. If there is any writing on the glass, you must be able to read it clearly when the cavity doors are open. • Always make sure that the glass is pushed fully into the Stop position.
• To remove the glass panel, open the door wide, hold the top and bottom edges and slide out.
• Warning: Do not operate the appliance without the glass panel correctly fitted.
• For your safety, glass door panels are made of toughened glass. This ensures that, in the unlikely event that a panel breaks, it does so into small fragments to minimise the risk of injury. Please take care when handling, using or cleaning all glass panels, as any damage to the surfaces or edges may result in the glass breaking without warning or apparent cause at a later date. Should any glass panel be damaged, we strongly recommend

that it is replaced immediately.

Shelf Runners

- Shelf runners can be removed to enable you to clean them thoroughly. Make sure they are cool to touch and then grasp the runners and slide out of their hanging holes.

ELECTRIC HOB

Ceramic glass hobs

• The ceramic hob top can be cleaned using a clean, damp cloth or kitchen paper. Do not use a used dishcloth or sponge as they can leave a film of detergent on the surface which can lead to discoloration. Please ensure that the elements are cooled fully to avoid steam burns.
• You can use a specialist ceramic cleaner to restore the surface, but use sparingly to avoid coating the hob top too thickly. Too much cream cleaner will lead to discolouration. Use a dry, clean cloth to polish the surface.
• For stubborn marks, a specialist hob scraper can be used.
• Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaning equipment.
• Regular cleaning will prevent any salts or minerals from accumulating on your hob and discolouring the glass.
• Wipe any spillage as soon as possible.
• Clean the hob top as regularly as possible, this will prevent any build up of grease which may be a fire hazard.

Solid plate hobs

• Prime and Season - this helps maintain the finish of the elements.
• Use a damp, clean cloth to wipe the solid plate, making sure that you follow the circular grooves and avoid damaging the red spots. Make sure that you allow the hotplate to dry before use by switching on the elements at a low heat.
• You can restore the hotplates by using a solid plate cleaner but take care to avoid the red spots on elements.
• To prime: Switch on each element in turn for a short while (with no pan on it) at a medium - high setting. This will harden and burn off the coating.
• To season: Heat the element for 30 seconds at a medium setting then switch off. Use a minimum amount of unsalted vegetable oil, on a dry cloth or paper towel, and apply a thin coat of oil to the element surface. Wipe off the excess and heat the element for one minute.

There's been a power failure and the product won't work.

• Switch off the electricity supply.
• When the power returns switch the electricity supply back on and re-set any programmer/clock to the correct time of day.

My oven is a single combined oven and grill - can I use both functions together?

- No. You can only use one or the other.

Why is there condensation on the doors?

• Condensation is caused by hot, moist air meeting a cooler surface (i.e. the oven door). You cannot always prevent it, but you can minimise it when it happens by doing the following:
• Pre-heat the oven at a high temperature before putting food in the oven, and cover the food you are cooking wherever possible.
• Whenever you can, cook wet foods at higher temperatures.
• Don't leave food in the oven to cool down. • Automatic cooking will normally produce condensation when the oven is cooling down with food inside.

Should the cooling fan continue to run once the appliance has been switched off?

- Yes. This is to make sure that you can always touch the control knobs to make temperature adjustments, and turn your appliance off.

The neon on my appliance keeps going out and coming back on again - is this right?

- Yes. In most cases the neon (if fitted) will cycle on and off to show that the oven is maintaining your temperature choice.
