THINGS TO NOTE If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner turn all the hob controls off and make sure the burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 29 for more information. HINTS AND TIPS Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pan you are wasting gas.
THE DUAL GRILL WARNING - Accessible parts become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away. USES OF THE GRILL The grill is in the top left compartment. The whole area of the grill or just the centre section can be used according to the amount of food to be cooked.

The grill pan grid is reversible. This is useful if you want to cook foods of varying thickness. As a general rule, bread for toasting should be placed on the grid in the ' high ' position in the grill pan. Foods such as chicken pieces or chops may be grilled using the grilling grid in the low position.
GRILLING CHART The chart below gives recommended cooking times and shelf positions. Remember that these are a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste. Note Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. FOOD Bacon Rashers Beefburgers Chicken Joints Chops - Lamb - Pork Fish - Whole Trout / Herring...
THE TOP OVEN / PLATE WARMER USES OF THE TOP OVEN The Top oven is the top right compartment. The Top oven is a plate warming compartment and conventional oven with elements in the top and bottom of the cavity, i.e. without a fan. It is important to refer to the cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions and temperatures as these may differ from your previous cooker.
HINTS AND TIPS Only cook on one shelf when using the top oven. For the best results food should be placed in the centre of the oven. To increase top browning e.g. for au gratin dishes, the food should be placed towards the top of the oven.
TOP OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperatures by a further 10°C to suit individual preferences and requirements. Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. FOOD Biscuits Bread...
THE PLATE WARMER The top oven can also be used as a warming compartment to keep plates or dishes hot. Use the plate rack fitted on the shelf to warm up to six dinner plates. Alternatively remove the plate rack and stand dishes on the oven shelf. The plate rack must not be placed directly on the oven base.
THE ULTRA FAN OVENS USES OF THE ULTRA FAN OVEN A fan at the rear of the oven circulates hot air ensuring an even oven temperature. The left hand fan oven can be set for automatic cooking. The advantages of Ultra Fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The Ultra Fan ovens quickly reach temperature so it not usually necessary to preheat the oven.
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. WARNING - If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected.

DEFROST AND COOLING FUNCTION This Ultra Fan oven function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air at room temperature around the food. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g.
GENERAL HINTS AND TIPS CONDENSATION AND STEAM When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle does. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the cooker when opening the oven doors to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning the cooker always ensure the cooker is cool 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.
Remove the burner parts carefully taking care not to damage the spark electrodes. Clean the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns in hot water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. You may use mild abrasives. Do not wash the pan supports or burner parts in a dishwasher.
REPLACING THE HOB BURNER PARTS 1. Crown to burner body Do not force the crown on to the burner body. Make sure the hole in the crown is over the electrode. Check that the location pegs sit in the slots in the body. When the crown is in this position let it fall freely on to the body.
Care should be taken to ensure that cleaning products in contact with the plinth are wiped up immediately. Do not attempt to remove any of the control knobs from the panel as this may cause damage and is a safety hazard.
5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot water to which a little washing up liquid has been added or Hob Brite. To prevent streaking a glass cleaning spray may be applied and the glass polished with a soft cloth.
TO REMOVE THE WIREWORK RUNNERS The wirework runners in all compartments can be removed for cleaning. 1. Remove all shelves and furniture from the compartment. 2. Hold the wirework at the bottom and gently pull towards the centre of the grill / oven. 3.
When using the cooker at higher temperatures than used in normal cooking the surfaces of the cooker may get hotter than usual. Children should be kept away. THINGS TO NOTE The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out.
IF SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK Please carry out the following checks on your cooker before calling a Service Engineer. It may be that the problem is a simple one which you can solve yourself without the expense of a service call. If our Service Engineer finds that the problem is listed below you will be charged for the call whether or not the cooker is under guarantee.
