  • GAS WARNING! - If you smell gas: Do not try to light any appliance, Do not touch any electrical switch. Contact your local gas supplier immediately.

Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used - young children should be kept away.

A grill pan handle can be purchased as an optional extra from our spares department quoting the part numbers below:

Handle-082283705

Handle grip - 082469100

Complete grill pan pack - 012635666

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

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

Depending on your model, 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.

Types of grill

Variable rate grill:

has adjustable heat settings

1 (low) to 8 (high) or 5 (high) - depending on the model.

Single grill: has one grill element. The grill pan trivet MUST be inverted when using the single grill function.

Dual grill: has two grill elements which can be used together, or as a single grill.

Alternatively, you may have grill symbols similar to these below.

Full grill area at full power

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

Depending on your model, 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^ .

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

Milk pudding14012 - 2½ hours

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 neon (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 cooling fan

Depending on your model, 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.

OVEN FURNITURE

Oven shelves

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× 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^

Make sure that frozen foods are thoroughly thawed before cooking.
- Do not slow cook joints of meat or poultry weighing more than 2 14 ~kg / 4 12 lb .
- Preheat the oven to 170^ and cook for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven control to or 100^ (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 to cooking with a fan oven which 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 the oven.

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

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

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

There is no flavour transference in a fan oven, which means you can cook strong smelling foods such as fish at the same time as mild foods - eg; milk puddings.

When batch baking foods that will rise during cooking - eg; bread - always ensure that enough space has been left between the shelves to allow for the rise.

Notes:

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

Because the 2 oven shelves are wider than in many ovens, it is possible to cook 2 items per shelf - eg; 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 the oven, 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 - eg; fish filets, prawns & 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 12 ~kg / 3 lb 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 fanned oven, therefore some adjustment will have to be made to conventional cooking temperatures. The table below shows conventional cooking temperatures, fanned oven temperatures and gas marks. For optimum results,

conventional temperatures need to be converted to fanned oven temperatures.

For example, an item which would normally cook at a conventional temperature of 180^ , will now cook at the fanned oven temperature of 160^ .

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 bast ing 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^ - 180^ (fanned) or 180^ - 200^ (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 ( 212lb ) 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.

Oven & Grill Functions

The chart below details all of the functions which are available. Your oven may not have all of the functions shown here.

SymbolFunction / FeatureRecommended Uses
Conventional GrillThis function cooks food from the top and is ideal for a range of food from toast to steaks. As the whole grill is working you can cook large quantities of food.
Economy GrillFor smaller quantities of food, but is still ideal for any-thing from toast to steaks.
Fanned GrillThe fan allows heat to circulate around the food. Ideal for thinner foods such as bacon, fish and gammon steaks. Foods do not require turning. Use with the oven door closed
Conventional OvenThis function is ideal for traditional roasting. The meat is placed in the middle of the oven, roast potatoes towards the top.
Top Heat OnlyThe heat is ideal for browning the tops of food as it is not as fierce as the grill following conventional or fanned cooking. Provides additional browning for dishes like Lasagna or Cauliflower cheese.
Base Heat OnlyThe base heat can be used to provide additional brown-ing for pizzas, pies and quiche. Use this function towards the end of cooking.
Fanned OvenThe even temperature in the oven makes this function suitable for batch baking, or batch cooking foods.
Fan and Base Heat OnlyUsed to cook open pies (such as mince pies) the base element ensures that the base is cooked while the fan allows the air to circulate around the filling - without being to intensive.
Intensive BakeSuitable for food with a high moisture content, such as quiche, bread and cheese cake. It also eliminates the need for baking pastry blind.
Defrosting and Cool-ingTo defrost foods, such as cream cakes/gateaux, use with the oven door closed. For cooling dishes prior to refrigeration, leave the door open.
°COven Temperature ControlUse to select the oven temperature.
Oven Selector ControlUse to select the oven function.
Lights OnlyUse when the oven is switched off and cold to aid cleaning the oven.

GRILLING IN THE MAIN OVEN

The main oven grill & fanned grill are fixed settings using the inner element only. Make sure that the programmer is set to manual before grilling. When using either grill function, invert the grill pan trivet and preheat for 5minutes.

Conventional grill

The door must be open when the grill is used for conventional grilling - either fully open or using the door stop position - open the door about 75mm and it will hold open.

If the grill door is closed while the grill is in use, the grill will cycle on and off at a high temperature, causing the door to become hot.

(i) Turn the selector control knob to the conventional grill setting.
(ii) Turn the oven temperature control knob to the full on setting.

Fanned grill

The door must be closed when the fanned grill is used.

When opening the door, take care to avoid skin contact with any steam which may escape from the cooking.

(i) Turn the selector control knob to the fan grill setting.
(ii) Turn the oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature setting.

When the fanned grill is selected, only the inner element will come on.

Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the ovens are used, young children should be kept away.

The main oven is a multi-function oven, and may be used as a conventional oven or a fanned oven. It may also be used as a grill, or with one of the other oven functions.

Manual operation

The programmer must be set to manual operation before the main oven or grill functions can be used. If A (Auto) is on the programmer display, return the oven to manual operation by pressing the two end buttons.

To turn on the main oven

Step 1 - Select the function

Turn the selector control knob in either direction, until the function you require appears in the window.

Step 2 - Set the main oven control

If you have selected an oven cooking function, then simply turn the main oven temperature control knob to the required temperature - this brings on the neon indicator light, which will stay on until the oven reaches the required temperature. To switch off the main oven, return the control knob to the off position.

Automatic operation

See 'Programmer / Clock' section.

Using the main oven

Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the appliance is in use - keep children away from the vicinity of the oven.

Never put items directly on the base of the oven or cover the oven base with foil, as this can cause the base element to overheat.

Manual operation

Set the programmer to manual operation. See 'Programmer / Clock' section. Turn the selector control knob to the symbol for the desired oven function. Turn the main oven temperature control knob to the desired temperature. The red thermostat indicator neon will come on and off 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 the main oven, return the main oven control knob to the off position.

Automatic operation

See 'Programmer / Clock section.

Preheating

Always use the fan oven setting for preheating to save time and electricity. After the oven has been preheated on the fan oven setting, turn the selector control knob to the oven setting you require. The oven must be preheated when cooking frozen or chilled food, and we recommend preheating for yeast mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked sponges, otherwise preheating is not necessary as a fan oven warms up quickly. Preheat the oven until the indicator neon switches off for the first time; this will take between 5 - 15 minutes, depending on the temperature selected.

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.
  • 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 from circulating freely.

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.

General

It is important to clean the product regularly as a build up of fat can affect its performance or damage it and may invalidate your guarantee.
Always switch off your appliance and allow it to cool down before you clean any part of it.
- 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 cladding strips. You may notice a small white residue on the outer edges, this can be removed with a non abrasive wipe.
- Some foods are corrosive eg; vinegar, fruit juices and especially salt - they can mark or damage the metal or paint work, if they are left on the surface.
Only use a clean cloth wrung out in hot soapy water, and dry with a soft cloth.

Stainless steel & Aluminium surfaces

  • Sharp objects can mark the surface of stainless steel, but will become less noticeable with time.
  • 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.

Enamel surfaces & parts

  • If larger splashes of fat do not readily disappear, you can use a mild cream cleaner to remove them.

Glass parts

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

REMOVING OVEN PARTS FOR CLEANING

Inner Door Glass (glass doors only)

Some models have a removable, inner door glass. It 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.

STOVES GOURMET - Shelf Runners - 1

TELESCOPIC SHELVING SYSTEM (if fitted)

  • In addition to the traditional shelving fitted in your appliance, the telescopic shelving system is fitted in the most commonly used location in your cavity.
  • The shelves with the telescopic system are easier to pull out than traditional shelving, which means the oven door stays open for a shorter period of time. The smooth action also reduces the likelihood of fat, or food, spillage, and gives you extra security.
  • You do not have to use the telescopic shelves all of the time. You can place the shelves in the traditional positions if you would like more choice.
  • The telescopic shelves remove easily from the runner for re-positioning or cleaning, but we recommend that you reposition your shelving before cooking, and remove the shelving for cleaning when the shelves are cold to prevent burning yourself.

STOVES GOURMET - TELESCOPIC SHELVING SYSTEM (if fitted) - 1

To remove the telescopic shelves

Make sure the shelf is cool enough to touch.
- Push the oven shelf back into the cavity, until it hits the stop position.
- Grasp the shelf bars in the centre, and lift the back of the shelf clear of the stop position.
- You can then lift the front of the shelf clear of the retaining tabs.

To replace the telescopic shelves

Make sure the oven runners are pushed all the way back into the cavity.
- Tilt the shelf and make sure the front of the shelf is against the stop position.
- Carefully place the shelf back onto the runner and snap in place firmly.
Make sure the back of the self is inside the retaining tabs and slide it in and out of the oven to make sure it works correctly.

STOVES GOURMET - To replace the telescopic shelves - 1
Make sure the shelf is firmly pressed against the stop position at back of the oven cavity

METHOD 2: HOUSING UNIT WITH INTERNAL HEIGHT LESS THAN 710MM

Note: You will not need the 2 side trims (687mm long) or the appliance runners for this installation. You will need the 2 runners to fix to the adjacent cabinets.

Before you start;

Before removing the bottom shelf or modifying the housing unit, make sure that it will remain structurally sound, eg; by fixing to adjacent cabinets, floor or worktop.

You may have to cut into or remove any rear cross members to obtain the 550mm minimum depth.

To obtain the required 710mm height, you may have to lower or remove the bottom shelf - remove any cross rails and reposition brackets.

To fix the runners (if required)

  1. Take the side trims, hold it against the side of the base unit, and use it to mark off the 687mm from the top edge of the side unit, to the top edge for the runner.

Note: This ensures a 5 - 8mm clearance from the underside of the worktop to the top of the appliance.

  1. Measure 50mm from the front edges of the base units, to mark the front edge for the runners.
  2. Take 6 of the No 8 × 12mm (Black) chipboard screws and screw the runners into position the right way up as shown.
  3. If necessary, adjust the height of the plinth to just below the bottom edge of the runners.

Sitting the appliance

If this appliance is to be installed near to a corner where the adjacent cabinets run at right angles forward of the appliance, there must be a gap of at least 90mm between the appliance and the cabinets, to prevent overheating of the cabinets. When installed in a typical 600mm deep built in housing unit, the false back should be removed from the housing unit, to provide the necessary depth for installation.

When the false back is removed, it is normally the case that the support shelf for the appliance leaves a gap between

the back edge of the support shelf and the rear wall of approximately 80mm.

If no gap occurs between the back edge of the shelf and the wall behind the unit, you must create a gap of at least 30mm by shortening the shelf and any other shelf below the appliance.

FAQs

What parts of the appliance can be washed in a dishwasher?

  • Any enamelled parts such as the grill pan can be cleaned in a dishwasher, as can oven shelves and shelf guides.

What parts must NOT be cleaned in a dishwasher?

  • Parts such as burner skirts and caps, control knobs and any cast iron items must not be cleaned in a dishwasher, they should be cleaned with hot soapy water and a nylon brush once they are cool enough.

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.

Why is there steam or smoke escaping from the oven?

  • Your oven is fitted with a steam vent at the top of the main oven. This is to allow excessive steam out of the oven whilst cooking wet foods such as quiche or pizza.
    If your main oven smokes during its use, it is important that the oven cavity is kept clean and not contaminated with grease or old foods.

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

  • Yes. Your oven is fitted with a cooling fan to keep the operator controls cool. In some cases the cooling fan may continue to run even after the oven is switched off to disperse the residual heat of the oven.

What is a Multifunction oven?

  • A multifunction oven combines a variety of features, which are explained fully earlier in this book (if fitted), it allows you more flexibility when cooking.

The neon on my appliance keeps going out and coming back on again.

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

My new oven is giving off a strange smell?

  • This is the smell of the oven being used for the first time. After a small period of uses, the smell will deteriorate. Whilst inside the oven your food will never be polluted by this smell.

Call Customer Care for a Service Engineer's visit if:

  • You find that the oven becomes hotter at a particular temperature - the thermostat may need replacing.
    The cooling fan fails to work.
