Frequently Asked Questions - BEDC60S BUSH

How do I set the clock on the Bush BEDC60S?

Press and hold the Clock button for 3 seconds until the time flashes. Use the + and - buttons to adjust hours and minutes, then press Clock again to confirm.

What should I do before first use?

Remove all packaging and stickers. Clean the oven interior with warm soapy water. Run the oven at 200°C for 30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues. Open a window for ventilation.

How do I clean the ceramic hob?

Use a dedicated ceramic hob cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent stubborn marks. For burnt-on residues, use a scraper designed for glass hobs.

Why is the oven not heating up?

Check that the cooker is properly plugged in and the power is on. Ensure the oven function and temperature are set. If it still won't heat, the heating element or thermostat may be faulty. Contact a qualified technician.

Does this cooker have a self-cleaning function?

No, the Bush BEDC60S does not have a self-cleaning feature. It has an enamel interior that is easy to clean manually. Use a mild oven cleaner and a damp cloth.

How do I use the grill function?

Select the Grill function on the oven control knob. Preheat for 5 minutes with the door slightly open. Place food on the supplied grill pan and position it on the top shelf. Monitor cooking to avoid burning.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

Yes, but avoid covering the bottom of the oven or blocking the fan vents. Use foil on the baking tray only. Do not let foil touch the heating elements.

What does the child lock do and how do I activate it?

The child lock prevents accidental operation. To activate, press and hold the Lock key for 3 seconds until the lock icon appears. Repeat to deactivate.

How do I replace an oven bulb?

Disconnect the cooker from the power supply. Remove the glass cover by twisting it anticlockwise. Replace with a 25W/300°C oven bulb. Reattach the cover and restore power.

Where can I find spare parts for the BEDC60S?

Contact Bush customer service or authorized dealers. Spare parts include knobs, heating elements, fan motors, and door seals. Have your model and serial number ready.

IMPORTANT: This product MUST be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with local regulations.

IMPORTANT: This appliance has been designed for non-professional, domestic use only.

IMPORTANT: Carefully unpack and examine the appliance for any damage. If you think there is a defect, do not use the appliance and contact Argos Product Support on 01759 487838.

IMPORTANT: The cooker is supplied setup according to the conditions shown on the rating label which is stuck to the rear of the appliance.

IMPORTANT: Keep the electrical cable (not supplied) of your cooker away from the hot areas; do not let it touch the appliance. Keep the cable away from sharp edges and heated surfaces.

IMPORTANT: In the event that the cable connecting your cooker becomes damaged, it must be replaced by a suitably qualified person. This cable must not be replaced by an unauthorised person.

IMPORTANT: When using the grill the oven door must be kept closed to prevent damage to the cooker knobs and to prevent the burn hazard that very hot knobs would present.

IMPORTANT: Children and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge should not be allowed to use the cooker unless supervised and warned of the hazards involved

WARNING: The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Care should be taken to avoid touching hot parts.

WARNING: Cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and should not be left unattended.

WARNING: NEVER try to extinguish a cooking fire with water. Instead switch off the appliance and cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.

WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces or in the oven.

CAUTION: Cookers may topple forward if a child climbs onto the cooker door. Children should be supervised in the kitchen at all times and this cooker must be secured to the wall using the fixing points provided to prevent accidents.

CAUTION: Do not allow children in the kitchen when cooking or while cooker parts may still be hot. Many parts of the cooker will become hot and present a considerable hazard to children.

CAUTION: When the oven is hot never touch the oven glass by hand or with tools.

Shelf orientation

Positioning and fixing to the wall

Positioning

1. Make sure that there are no combustible or flammable materials, such as curtains, in the vicinity of the installation.
2. Furniture and cabinets surrounding the cooker must be of material resistant to temperatures greater than 50°C.
3. Surrounding furniture, cabinets and extractor fans should be positioned in accordance with the diagram shown in Figure 1.
4. There must be at least 2cm of free space between the back wall and the rear of the appliance to allow for ventilation and air circulation.
5. If fitted, the extractor fan must be at least 65cm above the hob. If no fan is fitted the minimum distance between the hob and any cabinet or other structure must be 75cm.

Fixing to the wall

Before using the appliance fix it securely to the wall using the chains on the back of the cooker. This will prevent the cooker from toppling forward if excess weight is placed on the oven door. Since the chains must be attached to wall fixings suitable for your wall type, the wall fixings are not supplied with the cooker (Figure 2).

Please refer to the 'Guide to Wall Mounting and Fixings' on page 12.

Levelling

Level the cooker before using it. To do this, use the adjustable feet to achieve the correct level and height

Electrical connection

IMPORTANT: Electrical connections must be carried out by a suitably qualified person and in accordance with all relevant local building and installation regulations.

1. See the rating label at the rear of the product for the appliance's rated load.

2. The cooker must be connected to a dedicated circuit suitably rated for the load of the appliance (see rating label at rear of appliance) as shown in the wiring diagrams below. It must be connected via a suitably rated cable to a double pole isolator cooker switch also suitably rated for the appliance.

3. Electrical cable should not touch the hot parts of the appliance.

The electrical cable should not be routed through any area that may be affected by heat from the oven, especially the area directly behind the oven.

Using the Hob

Each ceramic hob is regulated by a selector knob (Fig. 3).

The control allows for the efficient transfer of heat to the cooking pan.

The knob can be turned in both directions, to numbers 1 to 6

These numbers correspond to the power setting of the ceramic hob where 6 is the highest setting and 1 is the lowest.

Turn the hob control knob to off (●) when finished.

We recommend you turn off the ceramic hob 5 to 10 minutes before the dish is ready. This allows the heat accumulated in the ceramic hob to be used economically. The ceramic hob remains hot for a while after use.

SAFETY ADVICE IN THE CASE OF A COOKING PAN FIRE

In the event of a cooking pan fire:

1. Turn off the cooker at the wall switch.
2. Cover the pan with a fire blanket or damp cloth. This will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.
3. Leave the pan to cool for at least an hour before attempting to move it. Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.

NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE

as the force of the extinguisher could tip the pan over.

Never use water to extinguish oil or fat pan fires.

Figure 3

COOKWARE SELECTION

• Any cookware should have a thick, flat and dry base of the same diameter or slightly bigger than the hob. If the cookware diameter is smaller than the hob, heat will be wasted.
• Cookware with uneven bases is very inefficient, making the cooking time longer and wasting electricity.
• Cookware made of flameproof glass, suitable for ceramic hob cooking, should match the hob size. Pans projecting beyond the hob may be broken due to temperature stresses. The heated pan must never be filled up with cold water or placed on cold metal or stone surfaces.
  • Always use the pan with its lid on. This prevents the accumulation of vapour in the kitchen.

Only use flat bottomed pans

IMPORTANT!

1. Never turn the hob on before placing a pan on it, except when first used.
2. If the ceramic hob is not to be used for a long time, apply a little grease to the painted surface.
3. Do not allow spills to be burned onto the hob as baked stains are harder to remove
