andwithdraw it from its locating slots. Ensure that
the door is not allowed to slam shut, due to the
reduction in door weight. Clean the glass as
described above.
3. The inside of the outer door glass can now be
cleaned while still fitted to the cooker.
NEVER OPERATE THE COOKER WITHOUT THE
INNER DOOR GLASS IN POSITION.

Sinking of cakes The following may cause cakes to sink:
1. Cooking at too high a temperature.
2. Using normal creaming method with soft margarine.
Over/Under cooking Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in
Fast/Slow cooking the oven temperature charts, however, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by
10°C to suit personal taste.
Do not use utensils greater than 2Ľ ins in height.

1. Open the door fully.
2. Locate the inner door glass into its slots, so that
the printing is readable from the face nearest the
oven in the closed position and the widest black
band is towards the bottom of the door. The inner
door glass has a special reflective coating on one
side, in order to minimise surface temperatures
and energy consumption during use, it is
important it is fitted correctly.
3. Carefully slide the glass into its slots as far as it
will go and replace the end caps.
'Stay Clean' Panel*
Stay Clean' panels are covered with a special enamel
which absorbs cooking soils. At higher temperatures
the soiling is slowly destroyed. In most cases normal
cooking at higher temperatures will permit this cleaning
to take place automatically. However, if higher cooking
temperatures are not used regularly then it may be
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the
oven at maximum temperature for at least two hours,
from time to time. The 'Stay Clean' panel can be
washed in warm soapy water followed by rinsing in
clear water. Dry well with a soft cloth.
NOTE: Do not use enzyme washing powder, harsh
abrasives or chemical oven cleaners of any kind.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.
• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses
• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the "delay
cooking" option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by
switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the
end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates
5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.
• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting
lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption
• Use purely flat pots and pans
• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,
it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as
fast and saves a third of the energy.
