THE HOB Do not use the appliance if the ceramic glass is damaged. If a fault or crack becomes visible, disconnect the appliance immediately from the electricity supply and contact your local Service Force Centre. USING THE HOB • For single hotplates, turn the control knob clockwise to vary the heat setting.
NOTE: Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being used. This is due to a safety device which prevents the glass from overheating. Some switching ON and OFF when cooking at high temperatures, e.g.
CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. USING THE GRILL The grill on this appliance has been designed to heat up more quickly than conventional grill elements. It provides quick, direct heat and no preheating is necessary.
HINTS AND TIPS • Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices. • Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food.
THE SECOND OVEN The second oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking smaller quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweets and savoury flans or quiche.
HINTS AND TIPS • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelf positions are counted from the bottom upwards. • There should always be at least 2.5cm (1”) between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc.
MAIN OVEN GRILL CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. USING MAIN OVEN GRILL • Turn the main oven multifunction selector to grill. • Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting.
• Accompaniments such tomatoes mushrooms may be placed around the outer edges or 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. • Preheat the grill on full setting for a few minutes to seal meat or for toasting.
CONVENTIONAL COOKING This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without the fan in operation. It is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pies, quiches and flans. Gratin's, lasagne and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven.
HINTS AND TIPS • Single level cooking gives best results. If you require more than one level of cooking use the main fan oven. • 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.
PROFI HOT AIR COOKING The fan oven is particularly suitable for cooking larger quantities of food. The advantages of fan 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 need to add an extra 5 –...
TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. To remove a shelf slide the shelf towards you until the shelf stop is reached. Tilt shelf up at the front to that the stops clear the side supports.

FAN ROASTING Fan Roasting in the main oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. Fan Roasting helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed.
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.
PIZZA This setting can be used for foods such as pizza where base browning and crispness are required. USING PIZZA • Turn the main oven multifunction selector to Pizza. • Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. THINGS TO NOTE •...
BOTTOM HEAT This function uses the lower element to give single level cooking. This is particularly suitable for dishes which require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans. USING BOTTOM HEAT • Turn the main oven multifunction selector to Bottom Heat.
DEFROST This main oven function defrosts most foods faster than more conventional methods. 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. USING DEFROST •...
CARE AND CLEANING Before cleaning always allow the appliance to cool down before switching off at the electricity supply. CLEANING MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, 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.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB Make sure the ceramic glass is cool before cleaning. It is important to clean the ceramic hob daily to prevent soilage being burnt on. Take care to avoid the hob trims when cleaning the ceramic glass as they may be damaged by the cleaning agents recommended.
HINTS AND TIPS TO REDUCE HOB SOILAGE: • Make sure the bottom of the saucepan and the cooking area are clean and dry before cooking begins. • Ensure saucepans large enough accommodate food to avoid boil overs. • If possible, wipe up spills and splatters as they occur, but take care to avoid steam burns.
CLEANING INSIDE THE GRILL AND OVEN COMPARTMENTS The sides and back of the grill/second oven and main oven compartments are coated with a special Stayclean coating. They should not be cleaned manually. The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill compartment base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners...
CLEANING THE DOOR(S) To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: • Household detergents and bleaches • Impregnated pads unsuitable for non- stick saucepans • Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads • Chemical oven pads or aerosols •...
