19
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC
6 Accessible parts may be hot when the
oven is used. Young children should be
kept away.
OVEN FURNITURE
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with the upstand at
the rear of the oven and facing upwards.
4
Extra shelves may be ordered from your
local supplier.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even browning, the
recommended size baking trays and roasting tins that
should be used are as follows;
∙ Baking tray 350 mm x 250 mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to 12 small cakes.
∙ Roasting tin 370 mm x 320 mm
4
Position baking trays and roasting tins on
the middle of the shelves, and leave one
clear shelf-position between shelves, to
allow for circulation of heat.
4
We recommend that you use good quality
cookware. Poor quality trays and tins may
warp when heated, leading to uneven
baking results.
Shelf positions
As a general guide, when cooking frozen or chilled
food, use the highest possible shelf position, while
allowing some clearance between the food and the top
element. Follow the instructions given on packaging.
To help the air circulate freely
Position the shelves evenly within the oven and
maintain a clearance from the oven roof and base.
If more than one cooking dish or baking tray is to be
used on a shelf, leave a gap of at least 25mm between
the items themselves and the oven interior.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan may operate when the main oven is
on and may continue to operate for a period after the
oven has been switched off.
Aluminium Foil
6 Use foil only to cover food or cooking
dishes, using foil to cover the shelves or
oven base creates a fire hazard.
WHEN USING THE OVEN
As part of the cooking process, hot air is expelled
through a vent at the top of the oven(s). When opening
the oven door, care should be taken to avoid any
possible contact with potentially hot air, since this
may cause discomfort to people with sensitive skin.
We recommend that you hold the underneath of the
oven door handle.
20
To switch on the oven
∙ Turn the oven control knob(s) to the required
setting.
The white thermostat neon (if fitted) will come
on until the selected temperature is reached and
then go off; it will turn on and off periodically as
the thermostat operates to maintain the selected
temperature.
∙ To switch off, return the control knob to the off
position.
Preheating
Fanned oven
When cooking sensitive items such as souffle and
Yorkshire puddings or, when cooking bread, we
recommend that the oven is preheated until the neon
switches off for the first time. For any other types of
cooking, a preheat may not be required.
Conventional oven
Preheating is always required
Manual Operation (Left hand oven only)
The programmer must be set to manual operation
before the main oven can be used. If A (Auto) is on the
programmer display, return the oven to manual by
pressing the plus and minus buttons simultaneously
or the Menu button where applicable. Any programme
which has been set is cancelled.
Cooking with a fanned oven
6 As this is a high efficiency oven, you may
notice the emission of steam from the
oven when the door is opened. Please
take care when opening the door.
If you are used to cooking with a conventional oven
you will find a number of differences to cooking with
a fan oven which will require a different approach:
There are no zones of heat in a fan oven as the
convection fan at the back of the oven ensures an even
temperature throughout the oven.
This makes it ideal for batch baking - eg; when
planning a party as all the items will be cooked within
the same length of time.
4
Foods are cooked at a lower temperature
than a conventional oven, so
conventional recipe temperature may
have to be reduced. Please refer to the
conversion chart.
4
Preheating is generally not necessary as a
fan oven warms up quickly.
4
There is no flavour transference in a fan
oven, which means you can cook strong
smelling foods such as fish at the same
time as mild foods - eg; milk puddings.
4
When batch baking foods that will rise
during cooking - eg; bread - always
ensure that enough space has been left
between the shelves to allow for the rise.
Notes:
4
When 2 or more shelves are being used, it
may be necessary to increase the cooking
time slightly.
4
Because the 2 oven shelves are wider
than in many ovens, it is possible to
cook 2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria
sandwiches or 2 casseroles.
4
When roasting meats, you will notice that
fat splashing is reduced, which is due in
part to the lower oven temperatures, and
will help keep cleaning of the oven to a
minimum.
4
Because a fan oven has an even
temperature throughout the oven, there
is no need to follow the shelf positions
given in the baking guide.
4
There is no need to interchange dishes
onto different shelves part way through
cooking, as with a conventional oven.
21
Keep Warm (Setting or 70°C)
This setting temperature is set to allow the user to
keep food warm without over cooking. This setting can
also thaw frozen foods, or warm plates.
4
Do not use this as a cooking function.
Defrosting
and cooling in the main
oven
To defrost frozen foods, turn the main oven control
to the Bread Proving position, place the food in the
centre of the oven and close the door.
To cool foods after cooking prior to refrigerating or
freezing, turn the main oven control to the defrost
position and open the door.
Defrosting times
4
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or
meat - eg; fish filets, prawns & mince
will take approximately 1 - 2 hours.
4
Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
4
A medium sized casserole or stew will
take approximately 3 - 4 hours.
4
A 1½kg/3lb oven ready chicken will
take approximately 5 hours, remove the
giblets as soon as possible.
Be safe
4
Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this
method.
4
Do not defrost larger joints of meat and
poultry over 2kg / 4lb using this method.
4
Never place uncooked food for defrosting
next to cooked food which is to be cooled,
as this can lead to cross contamination.
4
Defrosting meat, poultry, and fish can be
accelerated using this method but make
sure they are completely thawed before
cooking thoroughly. Place meat and
poultry on a trivet in a meat tin.

BAKING GUIDE
TOP OVEN
Cooking temperatures
The temperature settings and time given in the
Baking Guides are based on dishes made with block
margarine. If soft tub margarine is used, it may be
necessary to reduce the temperature setting. If a
recipe gives a different temperature set-ting to that
shown in the guide, the recipe instruction should be
followed.
4
Because the top oven is more compact,
it may be necessary to reduce cooking
temperatures specified in recipes by up
to 20°C.
4
Use the baking guide as a reference for
determining which temperatures to use.
Cooking times
4
These times are based on cooking in a
preheated oven.

Cooking times & temperatures
4
The temperature settings and times
given in the baking guide are based on
dishes made with block margarine. If
soft tub margarine is used it may be
necessary to reduce the temperature
setting.
4
Allow enough space between shelves for
food that will rise during cooking.
4
Do not place items on the oven base as
this will prevent air circulating freely.
4
Note: This is a fanned oven, therefore
some adjustment will have to be made to
conventional cooking temperatures. The
table below shows conventional cooking
temperatures, fanned oven temperatures
and gas marks. For optimum results,
conventional temperatures need to be
converted to fanned oven temperatures.
For example, an item which would
normally cook at a conventional

MULTIFUNCTION OVEN
Cooking times & temperatures
4
This is a high efficiency oven, you may
notice an emission of steam when the
door is opened.
4
When cooking chilled or frozen foods,
use the recommended cooking times
and temperature on the packaging.
Always make sure the food is piping hot
throughout before serving.
4
There are no zones of heat, and no flavour
transfer when using a fanned oven -
allowing you to cook a greater variety of
foods together.
4
If you are cooking on more than one
shelf, you may need to slightly increase
the cooking time.
4
Always make sure that there is enough
space between dishes, to allow food to
rise, and to air to circulate.

GENERAL BAKING GUIDE
Traditional fruit cakes
It should be remembered that ovens can vary over
time, therefore cooking times can vary, making it
difficult to be precise when baking fruit cakes.
It is necessary therefore, to test the cake before
removal from the oven. Use a fine warmed skewer
inserted into the centre of the cake. If the skewer
comes out clean, then the cake is cooked.
4
Follow the temperatures suggested in the
recipe and then adjust accordingly to the
conversion table.
4
Do not attempt to make Christmas cakes
larger than the oven can cope with, you
should allow at least 25mm (1”) space
between the oven walls and the tin.
4
Always follow the temperatures
recommended in the recipe.
4
To protect a very rich fruit cake during
cooking, tie 2 layers of brown paper
around the tin.
4
We recommend that the cake tin is not
stood on layers of brown paper, as this
can hinder effective circulation of air.
4
Do not use soft tub margarine for rich
fruit cakes, unless specified in the recipe.
4
Always use the correct size and shape of
tin for the recipe quantities.
30
Trouble-shooting - fruit cakes
Problem Possible Cause
Fruit sinking to
the bottom
Low oven temperature which
may cause the cake to take
longer to set, allowing the
fruit to sink. Or, too much
liquid, or raising agent. The
fruit may not have been
properly washed and dried.
Cake sinking /
dipping in the
centre
Too much raising agent in
the mixture. Too hot, or
too cool an oven. Or, not
enough liquid or insucient
creaming.
Surface cracks
Too small a tin, or too much
mixture in the tin. Too much
raising agent in the mix,
plus not enough liquid or
insucient creaming. The
oven may be too hot.
Hard outer
crust with a
damp patch
inside
Oven too hot, therefore the
cake baked too quickly. Too
much sugar, or insucient
liquid.
Burnt outside
Oven temperature too high.
Oven too small for the size of
cake. Insucient protection
around the tin. Cake baked
on too high a shelf.
Texture with
pronounced
holes.
Too much raising agent. Flour
unevenly mixed.
Texture too
close and cake
insuciently
risen.
Not enough raising agent.
Not enough liquid. Too
cool an oven. Insucient
creaming.
Cake crumbles
when cut
Not enough liquid. Baked for
too long. Not enough sugar.
Too much baking agent.
Too dry
Over baking. Insucient egg
or liquid. Too much raising
agent.
Trouble-shooting - sponge cakes
Problem Possible Cause
Domed top
Insucient creaming of
mixture. Cake baked on
too high a shelf position, or
at too high a temperature.
Paper liners can cause the
outer edge not to rise and
the centre to peak.
Hollowed /
sunken top
Too much raising agent.
Oven temperature too low, or
incorrect shelf position. Cake
removed from oven before
it’s cooked. Use of soft tub
margarine.
Very pale, but
cooked
Oven temperature too low.
Baked too low in the oven
Overflowing tin
Tin too small for the amount
of mixture
31
ROASTING GUIDE
The times given in the roasting guide are only
approximate, because the size and age of the bird will
influence cooking times as will the shape of a joint
and the proportion of the bone.
Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before
cooking. For large joints it is advisable to thaw over
night.
Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before
cooking. The time required depends on the size of the
bird - eg; a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to
thaw.
Use of a trivet with a roasting tin will reduce fat
splashing and will help to keep the oven interior clean.
Alternatively, to help reduce fat splashing, potatoes
or other vegetables can be roasted around the meat/
poultry.
Cook in main oven at:
160°C - 180°C (fanned)
180°C - 200°C

Notes:
4
When cooking stuffed meat or poultry
calculate the cooking time from the total
weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
4
For joints cooked in foil or covered
roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5
minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated
cooking time.
4
Smaller joints weighing less than 1.25kg
(2½lb) may require 5 minutes per 450g
(1lb) extra cooking time.
4
Position the oven shelf so that the meat
or poultry is in the centre of the oven.
4
It is recommended that the appliance is
cleaned after open roasting.
32
ROAST TURKEY
Roasting turkey involves cooking two different types
of meat - the delicate light breast meat, which must
not be allowed to dry out, and the darker leg meat,
which takes longer to cook.
The turkey must be roasted long enough for the legs
to cook, so frequent basting is necessary. The breast
meat can be covered once browned.
To test if the turkey is cooked, push a fine skewer into
the thickest part of the thigh. If the juices run clear,
the turkey is cooked. If the juices are still pink, the
turkey will need longer cooking.
4
Always make sure that the turkey is
completely thawed and that the giblets
are removed before cooking.
4
Turkey should be roasted at gas mark 5
for 20 minutes per lb, plus 20 minutes,
unless packaging advises otherwise.
4
The turkey can be open roasted, breast
side down, for half of the cook time, and
then turned over for the remainder of the
cooking time.
4
If the turkey is stuffed, add 5 minutes per
1lb to the cooking time.
4
If roasting turkey covered with foil, add 5
minutes per 1lb to the cooking time.
4
Please note: for all other Roasting guides
refer to main oven section and see table.

6 We recommend that you heat the oven to
70°C, or below, if you are warming plates.
WOK CRADLE
6 Please ensure the wok cradle sits securely
on the 4 pan support fingers.
THE STEAM & INFUSE ACCESSORIES
The Steam & Infuse vertical cooking system is
designed to deliver an evenly cooked, healthier,
flavourful result every time. Simply fill the flavour pot
with stock/herbs or any other ingredients and place
your poultry/meat over the top.
Supporting poultry or other meat vertically exposes
all sides to the oven’s heat, promoting a more even
cook and allowing the fat to drip out, while flavour is
infused from the inside.
Also included are a set of skewers which are ideal
for making kebabs and can be suspended over the
specially designed rack.
4
Note: If the Steam and Infuse is not
supplied as standard, it can be purchased
through our Customer Care team
4
Note: Skewers are not to be used in tall
ovens in 90cm products and should
always be orientated across the oven so
not to come into contact with the oven
fan blades.
