INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW WARNINGS:
- This cooker must be installed by a qualified electrician/competent person. Safety may be impaired if installation is not carried out in accordance with these instructions.
• This cooker must be earthed. - Do not remove the screws from the earth tab extending from the oven mains terminal block (Fig. 8).
- 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. 3 and 4) without any modification to the cabinet.
• If your cabinet interior dimension is between 565-570.mm 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 point should be 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 two possible ways to connect your cooker, please choose from the most appropriate after reading the descriptions.
- It is recommended that this appliance is wired with suitably rated cable (min 13A), into fixed wiring using a double pole isolator with at least 3mm contact separation in all poles and neutral, located within 2m of the appliance. If this fixed wiring circuit is only supplying the cooker, then a fuse of 13A (or circuit breaker) should be incorporated. When the circuit combines oven and hob, then wire and fuse rating should be increased accordingly.
Subject to Regional Electricity Company regulations if you wish to connect the oven and hob to the power supply you may use one of the following two methods:-
- If you want to connect an oven and a hob to a cooker point you can:-
1) By connecting the oven and hob separately to the cooker point. Oven and hob units should be separately connected to a control panel. In this case the cooker should be operated from 6mm² twin core, and earth, PVC insulated multicore cable. See Fig. 1.

GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR OVEN
We suggest that you run all the elements for a short period to burn off any residue from their surfaces.
During this period an unpleasant odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation.
WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON
When the cooker is first switched on at the wall the timer will make an audible sound. To stop the sound press buttons and together.
If the oven / grill indicator neon does not glow when the controls are switched on, it is most likely that the timer is set for automatic cooking. See page 19.
ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM
When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The oven is 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 discoloration, 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 the oven is in use.
During the initial period the cooling fan may cycle ON and OFF, this is quite normal.
It runs on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled.
Do not switch off the cooker at its power point before the cooling fan has cooled the appliance down.
CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON
This light indicates whether the oven or grill is switched ON. In the case of the oven, the neon also indicates when the set temperature has been reached.
If the neon does 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.

THE FAN OVEN
USES OF THE FAN OVEN
The oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven, the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fanned oven cooking are:
PREHEATING
The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating, however, you may find you need to add an extra 5-10 minutes on the recommended cooking times.
For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés, etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first.
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 both shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking.

THINGS TO NOTE
- The oven neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will cycle ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained.
• The oven fan will operate continually during cooking.
• The interior oven light will come ON when the temperature is selected.
TO FIT THE OVEN SHELVES
The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

5 4 3 2 1- 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.

natural_image
Line drawing of a storage unit with shelves and cups (no text or symbols)- 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.

natural_image

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.
THERMAL GRILLING
USES OF THERMAL GRILLING
Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling.
The grill element and the oven fan operate together, circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and turn food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can thermal grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill.
The lower part of the oven can be used to cook accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.
Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and browned on the top using the thermal grilling function.

1) Turn the selector to Thermal Grill.

2) Turn the oven temperature control to the required setting. (A temperature of between 140°C and 220°C is suitable for thermal grilling). Use the grilling chart on page 28 as a guide.
THINGS TO NOTE
• The oven/grill indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will cycle ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained.
• The cooling fan for the controls will operate immediately in conjunction with the thermal grilling function.
• Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and is carried out with the main oven door closed and the grill pan handle removed.
HINTS AND TIPS
• Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking.

natural_image
Illustration of a hand pouring oil into a tray with small containers, next to a jar labeled 'OIL' (no text or symbols on the main subject)- 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.

natural_image

natural_image
Line drawing of a tray with food items and utensils (no text or symbols)- Foods will cook more quickly the closer they are to the grill element and the higher the temperatures selected. Be prepared to adjust temperatures and shelf positions during cooking if necessary.
• Turn food over during cooking as necessary.

natural_image
Line drawing of a hand using a tool to clean or store food inside an oven (no text or symbols)- Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc., are piping hot throughout before serving.
A temperature range of 140-220°C and shelf positions 3 and 4 are suitable for most foods. Be prepared to make suitable adjustments during cooking to suit individual requirements. If thermal grilling on more than one level, it may be necessary to interchange the food on the shelves during cooking.
COOKING TIMES
Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook when thermal grilling compared with conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that larger loads can be cooked at the same time.
A general guide to cooking times is given below but these times may vary slightly depending on the thickness and quantity of food being cooked.

DEFROSTING
USES OF DEFROST FEATURE
This function enables you to defrost most foods faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. 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.

natural_image
Line drawing of a microwave oven with a tray holding a cake and two cutlery items (no text or symbols)It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function.
SELECTING DEFROST
Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 - 2 hours.

natural_image
Line drawing of a rectangular tray with six cutlery items, possibly food or kitchen utensils (no text or symbols)A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process.
Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be thawed using the defrost function.
ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAWING.

1. Turn the oven / grill control to
THINGS TO NOTE
• The oven light will illuminate.
• The indicator neon should remain unlit.
- When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon may occasionally come ON. It will stay ON until the oven reaches room temperature and then go OFF.
It may cycle ON and OFF periodically during defrosting to maintain steady room temperature inside the oven.
- 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 half way 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.
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.
- 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.
- Avoid buying chilled or frozen products if you cannot store them straight away. The use of an insulated container when shopping is advisable.
- Buy and consume foods prior to the 'Sell by' or 'Best Before' date.
- 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.
- Follow the cooking instructions on packets of prepacked and cook chill foods, but be prepared to adjust cooking times and temperatures to suit your particular oven. For example, the Fan Oven generally requires 20-25°C lower temperature than a conventional oven.
- Always ensure that cook chill foods are thoroughly reheated until they are piping hot throughout.
- 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.
- Always cook defrosted foods immediately after thawing. Thawed food should never be refrozen.
-
Joints of meat and poultry should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking.
-
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 |
- If not eaten straight away 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.
- In the kitchen keep worktops, 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 THE COOKER ALWAYS ALLOW THE COOLING FAN TO COOL THE COOKER DOWN BEFORE SWITCHING OFF 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. Regularly wipe over the control panel and oven doors using a soft cloth and liquid detergent.

The vitreous enamel coating in the oven cavity 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.
CLEANING THE GRILL DEFLECTOR, GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID AND OVEN SHELVES
All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher. Alternatively soak them in hot soapy water if heavily soiled. They will then clean more easily.
The grill pan and grill deflector 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 BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS
The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS
- Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door.
- Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive screwdriver.
- Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand.
- Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you. Lift slightly to disengage the locators from the two bottom brackets.

natural_image
Diagram of a folding screen with a magnified inset showing a screwdriver inserted into the screen (no text or symbols present)- 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
- Holding the oven glass with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door.
- Push the top of the oven glass towards the oven door, ensuring the screw location holes line up.
- Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert the cross head screws into the location holes with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure.
- Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive screwdriver before closing the oven door.
DO NOT attempt to use the oven without the glass being in place.
TO CLEAN INSIDE THE INNER GLASS DOOR
The inner glass door is not removable. Clean using hot soapy water or Hob Brite and a soft cloth. Take care NOT to use abrasives as they may damage the glass or seal.
