THE CERAMIC 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 • To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting.
HINTS AND TIPS • Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn on. •...
THE DUAL GRILL CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away. 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.
HINTS AND TIPS • In order to become acquainted with the performance of the Dual Grill it is advisable to check food regularly when grilling. • 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.
THE TOP OVEN The top 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 • All cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners. • 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.
THE MAIN OVEN 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 –...
HINTS AND TIPS • Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelf positions are numbered from the bottom upwards. • 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.

DEFROST FEATURE This main fan 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.
CARE AND CLEANING Always switch off the electricity supply at the main wall switch and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning. CLEANING MATERIALS Before using any cleaning materials on your appliance, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.
DAILY CLEANING Use the recommended Hob Brite Cleaner daily. If soilage is not allowed to burn on it will be much easier to clean off. 1. Apply a small amount of Hob Brite in the centre of each area to be cleaned. 2.
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 vitreous enamel coating in the grill/top oven and main oven compartments 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. Aerosol cleaners must not come into contact with elements, the door seal, or any painted finishes as this may cause damage.
CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER GLASS 1. Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the two cross head screws on the top of the oven door.
REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1 (Available through your local Service Force Centres). Disconnect appliance from electricity supply before replacing the bulb. Open the door and remove the shelves to enable easy access to the oven light assembly.
