Ceramic Hob  
CAUTION: Iꢀ AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE SURꢀACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE  
IMMEDIATELY ꢀROM THE SUPPLY.  
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface as damage can  
occur.  
The following boiling plates are located beneath the decorative circular patterned cooking areas:-  
Front left: 1200W  
Rear left: 1800W  
Rear right: 1200W  
Front right: 1800W  
The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red) indicating which heating element is switched on. The  
cooking area returns to its original colour when the heating element is switched Off.  
Warning: Even though the cooking area has returned to its original colour it may still be hot.  
The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either direction.  
Turn the control to 12 for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower  
setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid.  
Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the panel when cooking is finished and before serving food. It is  
inadvisable at any time to leave a heating element switched on without a pan in position as this wastes energy, and  
could make soil or rub-off from aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect elements against over-heating,  
safety cut-outs have been incorporated with each element. After several minutes with the control at setting 6 the  
safety cut-out switches the element Off and On continuously, thus preventing any adverse effects that may be  
caused by an excessive build-up of heat in the cooking area.  
Use of Hotplates  
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.  
Note:  
Turn the control to 12 for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting according to  
the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are specially for smaller pans, low  
temperature cooking and simmering.  
Do Not leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of the hotplate.

use cast iron utensils.  
use utensils with recessed, scrolled or ridged bases.  
use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than l mm as this will reduce the performance of the hob.  
use a utensil with a convex base.  
use glass ceramic utensils.  
use use lightweight saucepans with plain thin copper bases on ceramic or halogen hot plates.  
Note: All copper pans are excellent conductors of heat, and are hard wearing and strong, but need quite a lot of  
care. They can be very heavy and do not usually have completely flat bases. The interiors are usually lined with a  
different material such as tin.  
A stainless steel pan with a sandwich base of aluminium and stainless steel is an excellent conductor of heat and is  
suitable for use on ceramic and halogen hobs, providing they are used in accordance with the saucepans  
manufacturers’ recommendations.  
Stainless steel pans with a sandwich base of aluminium and copper are excellent conductors of heat. If using  
stainless steel saucepans with aluminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic and halogen hobs, the use of  
these pans must be in accordance with the saucepan manufacturers’ recommendations.  
Extra care should be taken to ensure the base of the pan and the hob is cleaned, and the hob conditioned, after  
each and every use, when using this type of saucepan.  
If these recommendations are not followed, the result will be a build up of small copper deposits on the surface of  
your hob which, if not cleaned after each use, will result in permanent marking of your hob.  
Always lift the pan from the hob, do not drag or slide across the hob surface as damage may occur.

Grilling  
GRILLING MUST BE DONE WITHTHE GRILL DOOR OPEN.  
CONTROL KNOBS MAY BECOME HOT DURING GRILLING.  
CAUTION: ACCESSIBLE PARTS WILL BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL  
IS USED - CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY.  
To operate the grill proceed as follows:  
l Open the grill door.  
l Pre-heat the grill on setting 6 for approximately 5 minutes (see chart on guide to grilling).  
Grill Pan Handle  
l Fix the grill pan handle securely in position. See below.  
l Food which only requires browning should be placed directly on/in the grill pan in the grill pan  
runner, or on the floor of the grill compartment. (the grill pan grid may be removed.)  
l Leave the control on setting 6 for toast, sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods  
requiring longer cooking turn the control to a lower setting after the initial sealing, on both sides,  
on setting 6. The thicker the food the lower the control should be set.  
Warning:Take care as the grill will be hot – always wear oven gloves. Always ensure  
that the grill pan is clean BEFORE use. Excess fat build up in the bottom of the pan  
could cause a fire hazard. Never line grill pan with foil.  
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the grill pan  
handle securely in position before use.

Grill Compartment  
as a ‘Hotcupboard’  
Do take care when removing plates, dishes and utensils from the grill compartment when the oven  
is in use as they may become quite hot.  
You may need to use oven gloves when removing warmed items.  
15  
Top Oven - Conventional Cooking  
The heat for conventional cooking in the top oven is provided by the grill element and the  
element under the floor of the oven. It is ideal for the slow cooking of cheaper cuts of meat in  
casseroles etc. but can also be used for small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3lb).  
See cooking charts for temperatures and shelf positioning.  
The top oven can be used either independently to cook small quantities of food or in  
conjunction with the main oven to provide additional cooking space.  
l The shelf should be positioned on the first or second runner from the bottom.  
To use the oven  
proceed as follows:  
l Set the top oven control to the required temperature, the top oven light will come on and wait for the  
thermostat light to go off, indicating that the oven has reached the right temperature.  
l The food to be cooked should be placed in the centre of the shelf with a gap of at least 25mm (1in)  
between it and the grill element.This should avoid burning and ensure even cooking.  
l Do not place food or dishes on the floor of the oven.  
Plates and dishes placed on the floor of the top oven will be heated when the main oven is in use.  
When the main oven is not in use, for instance when a meal is being cooked on the hob, place the  
plates and serving dishes on the shelf using the bottom runner and turn the top oven control to  
approximately 100 °C. A maximum time of 10-12 minutes is all that is required to heat the plates and  
dishes.  
Platewarming in the  
top oven  
NEVER operate the grill control when using the top oven for cooking or warming plates and dishes.  
WARNING: DO NOT put delicate items china or items which could be affected by heat into  
the oven.

Main Oven - Fan Cooking  
This control switches on the main oven.To select Fan Cooking - Turn thecontrol clockwise and select  
any temperature between 100°C and Max. As the control is turned the fan will start.The main oven light  
will immediately come on.  
The thermostat light indicates that the main oven is heating. When it turns off, the temperature inside  
the oven has reached the setting made with the thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on and  
off as the oven maintains the temperature at a constant level.  
The fan and the oven interior light will remain on throughout cooking.The main oven thermostat light will  
come on until the oven reaches therequired temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the oven  
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
The heat for fan cooking in the main oven is provided by an element situated at the back of the oven,  
around the fan.  
Fan cooking is ideal for large poultry or joints of meat, reducing cooking times and often eliminating the  
need for pre-heating the oven. It is also ideal for batch cooking where food is cooked on morethan one  
level, because the forced circulation of hot air gives aneven temperature from the top to the bottom of  
the oven.  
To use the oven  
proceed as follows:  
l The shelves should be evenly spaced.To avoid unnecessary cleaning, shelves which are not in use  
should be removed from the oven.  
l Set the main oven control to the required temperature. Pre-heating is not normally necessary, but  
some foods such as bread, scones andYorkshire pudding do benefit from being placed in a hot oven  
(see cooking charts).  
l Place the food to be cooked in the centre of each shelf to allow for even air circulation around the  
food.  
19  
Using the Main Oven for Other Functions  
SLOW Setting  
‘S’  
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 ofSLOWcooking 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. SelectS(Slow CookingTemperature) by turning the Main Oven Control clockwise ensuring the  
oven door is fully closed.  
Storage and 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 forSLOWcooking:  
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, if 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 Ib) 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 170°C 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 fora  
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.  
20  
Care and Cleaning  
To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the hob and cooking utensils are clean and dry  
Ceramic hob  
before use. Regular use of cleaner conditioner is recommended for proper care and protection of the  
hob surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It contains a mild cleaning agent,  
so that subsequent applications may clean off soil and apply a protective film at the same time. For  
stubborn stains or heavy soiling use any of the following materials, and finish off with conditioner.  
1. Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.  
2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.  
3. Special Powder Cleanser.  
Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are present in hard water, and some foods, may cause  
‘discolourationsthat appear in the form of grey or brown stains.The stains sometimes appear to be in  
or under the glass surface. If there are some persistent stains after using any of the other  
recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser may be applied, following the manufacturers  
instructions. Do not use abrasive cleaners or the powder cleanser on the painted metal framework.  
Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the conditioner will make the surface easier to clean thus  
ensuring that years of heavy abrasive cleaning do not progressively dull the surface.  
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best to wash these items immediately after  
use to prevent stains from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the Grill compartment, use a fine  
steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from the grill runners and the floor of the compartment.  
Wipe over the control panel with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.

Do not use cream cleaners, oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for  
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.  
Control Panel  
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to prevent any build up of soiling.The  
recommended method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a 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 soft clean cloth.  
Decorative Trims  
Remove the rod shelves and grill pan. Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from  
the rod shelves, grill pan and the floor of the oven. Clean the glass part of the oven door using a  
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough  
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to  
crack.  
Ovens  
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.  
Oven Shelf  
Supports  
To remove hold the support at the front and pull away from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in
