RATING PLATE Record the model, product and serial numbers of your cooker on the back cover of this instruction book for future reference. These numbers can be found on the rating plate on the lower front frame of the cooker upon opening the oven door. The cooker must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker.
PUSH TO TURN CONTROLS (BD 931 only) The control knobs must be pushed in towards the panel before they can be turned or adjusted. THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS The cooling fan comes on immediately when the grill is switched on and after a short time when either of the ovens are in use and switches off when cooking is completed.
The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used or for economy purposes the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food. SELECTING THE DUAL GRILL BD 921/2 BD 931 Turn the grill control clockwise for full grill or anticlockwise for the centre section only.
THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards inserting the lip into widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.
Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking. Accompaniments such mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats. When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with the grid in its 'High' position.
It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet and savoury flans or quiche. SELECTING THE SECOND OVEN BD 921/2 BD 931 Ensure the grill control is in the off 'O' position . Turn the second oven temperature control to the required setting.
TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF The shelf 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. HINTS AND TIPS There should always be at least 2.5cm (1") between the top of the food and the element.
20°C-25°C for your own recipes. BATCH BAKING The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking. SELECTING THE FAN OVEN BD 921/2 Turn the selector to Fan Oven Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.
NOTE: a) The selector and main oven indicator windows will illuminate. (BD 931 only). b) The oven light will come on. c) The cooling fan for the controls will operate after a time. See page 16 for further details on the operation of the cooling fan.
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 BD 921/2 Turn the multifunction selector to Defrost This function DOES NOT require a temperature setting on the main oven temperature control...
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.
This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan oven in operation. SELECTING THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN BD 921/2 Turn the multifunction selector to Conventional Oven. Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.
HINTS AND TIPS The middle shelf allows for the best heat distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf position.

HINTS AND TIPS Remember that the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. The approximate difference in temperature between the top and the bottom is 30°C. If a higher shelf position is used than is recommended in the chart on page 30 it may be necessary to lower the cooking temperature by approximately 10°C.
OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven. Food Position Biscuits...
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. 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.
