The Cooking Systems in your Double Oven  
Your new oven is equipped with  
three different cooking systems:  
1. Conventional Heating  
(Top Oven) - with upper and  
lower heat. This system is  
1
particularly suitable for roasting  
and baking on one shelf only.  
2. Grilling (Top Oven) - Has a full  
width, fully controllable grill. The  
grill also has an economy setting  
2
which enables you to use just the  
left section.  
NOTE: The oven door should  
be open when grilling.  
(See page 17.)  
3. Fan Cooking (Lower Oven) - the fan  
oven operates by constantly blowing  
heated air from an element wrapped  
3
around the fan into the oven. This gives  
improved efficiency and, in general,  
enables the use of lower temperatures  
for cooking. It also means that there is  
less need to be particular about shelf  
positions and that you can bake at  
more than one level simultaneously  
(Batch Baking).  
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff  
of steam when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a  
perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.

Slow Cooking  
The main oven has a “Slow Cook Setting” this can be used for slow cooking,  
keeping food warm and warming plates for a short period.  
Note: It is advisable to check that all oven controls have been switched off when you have  
finished using the appliance.

Oven Timer Operation  
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the ovens  
can be used.  
AUTOMATIC COOKING  
The Top Oven and Main Oven can be controlled by the automatic timer. When the timer  
control has been set for one oven, it is possible to use the other oven only during the same  
automatic cooking programme.  
NEVER operate the grill when the ovens are set to cook automatically because  
the oven cavity can become warm and this may cause  
bacterial growth in food.  
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING  
1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.  
2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so the  
food is ready when you require it.  
3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.  
4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as possible.  
5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto cooking,  
keep the delay start time to a minimum.  
6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could cause  
the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.  
7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.  
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay period.  
8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth in  
food.  
9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so it is  
best to add these ingredients just before serving.  
10. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in water to  
which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.  
11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.  
12. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss of  
liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.  
13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.  
14. Only reheat food once.

Using the Top Oven as a Convection Oven  
The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so  
that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a  
heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven. To ensure even cooking of  
the food it is important that cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf  
so that the element is directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should be  
approx.100mm (4”) from the front of the shelf.  
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be  
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase  
or decrease cooking times.

Step 2 Place the shelf in the correct position (see Oven Temperature Charts).  
Step 3 Select the required cooking temperature (100–220oC) using control (B)  
(see Top Oven Temperature Charts).  
The pilot light ( G ) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven  
reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and  
on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
Step 4 Place the food on the shelf directly below the element ensuring the oven  
door is closed.  
NOTE: At the end of your cooking, always return control (B) to the OFF (O) position.  
PLATE WARMING  
Place the plates/dishes on shelf position 1 from the base of the top oven, and turn  
top oven temperature and grill selection control (B) to 100oC for 10-15 minutes.  
Never use the grill setting control (A) when warming plates.  
TOP OVEN UTENSILS  
Do Not use: Meat Pans and Baking Trays larger than – 225mm x 300mm (9”x12”)  
DO NOT use the grill pan or main oven meat pan as a meat pan in the top oven, as the  
air circulation will be seriously restricted.

Using the Main Oven for Fan Cooking  
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a  
lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For  
guides on “pre-heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times” see “Oven  
Temperature Charts” later in book.  
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may  
be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be  
necessary to increase or decrease cooking times.  
MAIN OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN  
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution of  
heat in the main oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.  
The top oven rod shelf can be used in the main oven when cooking large quantities  
of food. (N.B. Maximum 3 shelves in the main oven).  
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven  
for cooking.  
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the main oven is in use as the  
surfaces get extremely hot.  
MAIN OVEN UTENSILS  
Do Not Use:  
Meat Pans larger than  
Baking Trays larger than  
375mm x 300mm (15”x12”)  
325mm x 250mm (13”x10”)  
TEMPERATURE & TIME  
When all three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be  
necessary to increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few  
minutes, to allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the  
larger mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.

❍ ❍  
TIMER  
Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual.  
Step 2 Place the shelf/shelves in the correct position (see Main Oven Temperature Charts.  
Step 3 Place the food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.  
Step 4 Select the required cooking temperature (80 to 230oC) by turning control (C) clockwise.  
The pilot light ( G ) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven reaches the  
required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as  
the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
Note: When you have finished using your cooker, always return the controls to their OFF (O)  
position. At the end of the cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam when the door is  
opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal characteristic of an oven with a good  
door seal.

DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY  
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a refrigerator  
(allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per lb.).  
Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.  
However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non-heating  
fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.  
OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:  
Place food in the oven and close the oven door.  
Fan  
Only  
Turn the Main Oven Temperature and Function Control (C) clockwise to the  
setting.  
This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on type  
and size of the food.  
NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.  
Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are cream/cream cakes,  
butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches, pastries, biscuits,  
bread, croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.  
If fish, meat and poultry are to be defrosted using the fan only setting, where possible it  
is recommended that the food should be small & thin.  
The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to  
the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even defrosting.  
Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up to a  
maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).  
It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately after  
defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after defrosting.  
It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene to  
prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions  
‘S’ SLOW COOK SETTING  
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods.  
Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot  
oven.  
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven  
lining and the plates which are being warmed.  
ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE:  
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.  
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.  
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.  
Fully loading the oven can be economical.  
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.  
OPERATION:  
1. Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.  
2. Select Slow Cooking Temperature ‘S’ by turning Main Oven Temperature &  
Function Control (C) clockwise.  
STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:  
1. If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container  
and cool as soon as possible.  
2. Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.  
3. Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.  
4. Only re-heat food once.  
POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING  
1. Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for air  
to circulate.  
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, it  
they are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be  
noticed.  
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).  
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the  
slow setting.  
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170oC for 30 minutes before  
wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air circulation) before  
turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately.  
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with a  
meat thermometer before serving.  
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing  
frozen food in the oven to cook.  
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.  
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the top with  
foil to prevent loss of moisture.  
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook properly.  
10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.  
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then  
boiled for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.  
12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to avoid  
overcooking.

Care and Cleaning  
Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off and  
the appliance is fully cold.  
1. “STAYCLEAN” OVEN LINERS  
(Top Oven Sides, Main Oven Sides and Rear Panel)  
TOP OVEN SIDES  
(a) How "Stayclean" works.  
The surfaces of the "Stayclean" oven liners (Main Oven rear  
panel) are treated with a special vitreous enamel which  
absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or  
above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly  
destroyed.  
The higher the temperature the more effective it is.  
(b) Cleaning.  
In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C  
(425°F) will permit this cleaning operation to proceed  
during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures  
are not used regularly, it may be necessary, in order to  
prevent heavy soiling, to run the ovens without shelves or  
meat pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours.  
MAIN OVEN REAR PANEL  
AND SIDES  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the  
"Stayclean" panels with water. If the user feels it is  
desirable to do so, wipe them over with a clean, soapy  
cloth, followed by a wipe with a clean damp cloth.  
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or  
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage the  
“Stayclean” oven liners.

3. OVEN DOORS  
CONTROL PANEL  
(a) Control Panel  
Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a clean,  
dry cloth.  
(b) Trims  
It is advisable to clean the trims regularly to prevent any build up  
of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the cooker.  
The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims  
with a clean, soft cloth wrung out in warm water, or mild non  
abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of  
trim which is not noticeable in normal use), then after wiping  
with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Installation  
Electrical Requirements  
For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a competent  
person such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for  
Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should be installed in accordance with  
the latest edition of the IEE Regulations.  
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.  
Electrical Connections  
The installer must check that the voltage shown at the rating plate corresponds with  
the house electricity supply.  
The cooker must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch, having a  
contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles placed in a readily accessible position  
adjacent to the cooker.  
If the cooker is to be wired into a connector unit, this may be positioned behind the  
cooker providing the following requirements are met:  
i) The connector unit must not project from the wall more than 25mm.  
ii) The top of the connector must not be more than 130mm above floor level.  
Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the cooker. Pass the cable through the  
cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided.  
Allow sufficient cable for any future servicing.  
Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the cover.  
Make main connections in the connector unit or cooker control unit.  
This appliance conforms to B.S. EN 55014 regarding suppression of Radio and  
Television reception interference.  
A double Pole control switch having a minimum rating of 32 amps should be used to  
feed the cooker using a suitably rated cable.  
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or over the cooker, a 45 amp Double Pole control  
switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated cables.  
We recommend a minimum of 4mm2 PVC insulated twin and earth cable conforming to  
B.S. 6004 for connection of each appliance.  
In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 4).  
This appliance must not be installed over any other appliance that generates heat  
such as a plinth heater  
Note: Due to many different types of installation, a mains cable is not supplied with  
this product. The installer will fit the correct type and length of cable.  
30  
 
Installation  
Important  
It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated i.e.  
having side, back, and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which could  
permit access to the oven unit when installed.  
1. General  
The appliance is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing which  
must be secured to the backing wall.  
2. Ventilation  
a. The oven housing unit cabinet dimensions must comply with fig. 4.  
b. An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or bottom  
cupboards or shelves (see fig. 1).  
c. It is necessary that the cabinets are provided with unobstructed ventilation, i.e.  
from adjacent cabinetry. This can be done by either raising the base of the  
cabinets using the adjusting feet (or spacers) or alternatively by providing a slot in  
the cabinet plinth to the dimensions in fig. 1.  
d. The air gap at rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the inner cabinet space.  
Where it is intended to fit cupboards above the oven unit to ceiling height, it is  
essential that the warmed air is exhausted through the front of the cabinet  
(see fig. 1).  
e. If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from the oven  
when the door is opened could condense on and maybe stain the adjacent  
surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface should be made of a  
material that is heat resisting and easy to clean. Adjacent tall cabinets should not  
be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.  
3. Final Installation  
a. Using a spirit level, check that the housing cabinet is level from side to side and  
from front to back in its installed position.  
b. Correct any unevenness by placing spacers under the bottom of the cabinet.  
Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.  
c. Before the oven is fitted, the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing wall for  
stability.  
d. The oven unit should now be lifted (this is a two person lift) into the cabinet and  
pushed fully home.  
e. Finally, the oven is secured to the cabinet by means of the four Pozi Wash Head  
screws - two through each side trim.  
f. Remove all packaging material from the grill and oven interior.
