Your cooker has a cooling fan fitted behind the controls to prevent them from overheating. The cooling fan will come on immediately when the grill control and Multifunction Selector control are switched on. The cooling fan may come on after a short time when the top oven is in use. The cooling fan may turn on and off when the cooker is in use. This[...]

WHEN FIRST SWITCHING ON The timer must be set to manual operation before the Multifunction main oven can be operated. This must be done whenever the cooker is switched off at the wall or when there has been a power failure. For instructions on how to set the timer see page 11. If the Main oven indicator neon does not glow when the oven temperature [...]

COOKWARE Baking trays, dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven. Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance. Advice on the effect of different materials and finishes of bakeware is given in [...]

USES OF THE GRILL The grill is situated in the Top oven compartment. The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill or the centre section only can be used. Use the full grill for cooking larger quantities of food. Use the centre section for economy purposes when cooking smaller quantities. HOW TO USE THE DUAL 1. Open [...]

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. Food should be thoroughly dried bef[...]

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. 18 GRILLING CHART FOOD Grill Time (Min) Shelf Grid Position Bacon Rashers Beefburgers Chicken Joints Chops - Lamb - Pork Fish - Whole Trout / He[...]

USES OF THE TOP OVEN The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. The top oven is a conventional oven i.e. without a fan. It is convenient where smaller quantities or convenience foods are being cooked. It is important to refer to the top oven cooking chart as a guide to shelf positions and temperatures as these may differ from previous cookers yo[...]

HINTS AND TIPS Use the top oven when you want to warm plates. Use a setting of 80°C - 100°C on the oven temperature control. You can 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 [...]

When roasting we recommend that you use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior. Note. The meat tin should not be placed on a heated hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack. 21 TOP OVEN COOKING CHA[...]

USES OF THE FAN 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 not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however you may need to add an extra 5 - 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. Fo[...]

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. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. HINTS AND TIPS Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven on. Shelves are numbered from the[...]

USES OF THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN 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 pizzas, quiches and flans. Gratin's, lasagne and hotpots which require extra top browning also cook well in the conventional oven. You can only cook [...]

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. The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven g[...]

USES OF THE ZONED OVEN This form of cooking is similar to a gas oven where the top of the oven is hotter than the bottom. As there is a difference of up to 30°C between the top and bottom of the oven this feature is especially useful for dishes requiring different temperatures at the same time making it ideal for cooking a complete meal on two she[...]

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 28 it may be necessary to lower the cooking temperature by approximately 10°C. Be prepared to interchange dishes b[...]

28 MULTIFUNCTION 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 of the oven. FAN OVEN CONVENTIONAL OVEN ZONED OVEN FOOD SHELF POSITION COOKING TEMP[...]

USES OF DEFROST FEATURE This main oven function enables you to defrost most foods without heat faster than some conventional methods as the oven fan circulates air around the food. 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, biscuit[...]

A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process. Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be thawed using the defrost function. All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed thoroughly before cooking. Always cook thoroughly immediately after thawing. DO NO[...]

USES OF THERMAL GRILLING Thermal grilling in the main oven offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed. The need to check and turn food is reduced. With the exception of toast and [...]

THINGS TO NOTE The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn on and off showing that the oven temperature is being maintained. The Selector indicator neon will glow throughout cooking. The oven fan will operate continually during thermal grilling. The oven light will come on [...]

Foods will cook more quickly the closer they are to the grill element and the higher the temperatures selected. Be prepared to adjust temperatures and shelf positions during cooking if necessary. Turn food over during cooking as necessary. Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc., are piping ho[...]

Note: Shelf positions are counted from the bottom of the oven upwards. The times quoted above are given as a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste.

CLEANING THE SHELVES, WIREWORK RUNNERS AND OVEN FURNITURE Soak the oven shelves, wirework runners and grilling grid in hot soapy water if heavily soiled, they will then clean more easily. If the shelves are heavily soiled a soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used. The grill pan, meat tin and trivet can be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel [...]

USES OF OVEN CLEAN The main oven top, sides and back panel are coated with a Stayclean finish. During normal use the Stayclean coating on the oven interior will become splashed with fats and food residues. When Oven Clean is selected, the Stayclean surfaces burn off any soilage. Regular use of the Oven Clean function will help to keep the panels in[...]

HINTS AND TIPS Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surfaces may occur in time, but this will not affect their self cleaning properties. A good time to use the oven clean function is after the weekly roast. If you do a lot of roasting and very little baking you should follow the cleaning cycle every week. If you roast very little yo[...]
