OVENS AND GRILL
Main Oven Oven Selector Control
Top Oven/Grill Grill Selector Control
When the Top oven/grill or grill is switched on, the
cooling fans come on to keep the fascia and control
knobs cool during cooking/grilling. The cooling
fans may operate when the main ovens are in use,
depending on the temperature setting. The fans may
continue to operate for a period after the oven/grill
has been switched off. During use the fan may cycle
on and off, this is normal.
6 Important: Never put items directly on
top the base of the oven, or cover the
oven base with foil, as this may cause
the element to overheat. Always position
items on the shelf.
GRILL PAN AND TRIVET
The grill trivet (inside the grill pan) can be inverted
to give a high or low position, or it may be removed.
The speed of grilling can be controlled by selecting a
higher or lower shelf position, or adjusting the grill
setting.

12
USING THE HOB
SAFETY
6 Commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.
6 Do not place aluminium foil or plastic
utensils on the ceramic glass, as they may
melt and damage the surface.
6 Do not use the ceramic glass hotplate
surface for storage.
6 When cooking with fat or oil, never leave
unattended.
6 Turn pan handles to a safe position, so
they are out of reach of children, not
overhanging the appliance, and cannot be
caught accidentally.
6 Position pans over the centre of the
hotplate elements.
6 Do not use the hob as a chopping board
or a storage area, as this increases the
likelihood of it being damaged - e.g.;
plastic utensils placed on a warm hob
may melt onto it, and damage the
ceramic glass surface.
6 Be careful when cooking foods in salted
water, or foods containing large amounts
of sugar, syrup or jam - if they are spilled
onto hot areas of the hob they may
damage it.
6 Lift pans onto and off the surface, rather
than sliding them across the surface, to
avoid marks and scratches.
6 If you use a wet paper towel to remove
spills from a warm heating area of the
hob, be careful to avoid steam burns.
6 Do not use abrasive powder cleaners,
metal wire wool pads, impregnated
plastic pads, detergents, bleaches,
bath stain removers, or chemical oven
cleaners; all these types of products will
damage the ceramic glass.

The functions of the hob comply with the applicable
standards on electromagnetic interference
Your induction cooking hob thus complies fully with
the statutory requirements (Directive 2004/108/EC).
It is designed to not interfere with the functioning
of other electrical equipment as long as these also
comply with the same regulations.
Your induction cooking hob thus complies fully
with the statutory requirements. It is designed to

be designed in compliance with the appropriate
regulations.
In this respect we can only guarantee the compliance
of our own product. You can ask the manufacturer
or your doctor about the compliance or any
incompatibilities of your pacemaker.
13
ABOUT THE INDUCTION HOB
The induction hob provides the most energy efficient
hob technology available.
The induction system provides superior heat up
and cool down times for pans - you get fast, precise,
repeatable power control.
As induction only heats up the pan, there is no lost
heat from the cooking process, which in turn, limits
the heat generated in the kitchen.
Auto Power Tuning
Induction hobs have a unique power tuning system
that automatically tunes the power to the size of the
pan base this ensures energy isn’t wasted.
Touch Controls
The touch controls for your induction have been
designed to provide you with finger touch control of
your hob, providing accurate and repeatable power
settings for cooking and an easy clean surface that can
be easily wiped over.
Each cook zone displays it’s individual power setting.
Using the Touch Controls
To select a cook zone or the timer, simply touch the
graphic slider, using the flat of your finger, not the tip,
The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to
apply any pressure.
Once you have powered on the induction hob, you
have 10 seconds to set the power or use the timer.
If the red displays disappear, simply press the power
button again.
Always ensure the control area is clean, dry and free
from of any objects (e.g. utensils, tea towels and
cloths). Spillages and water may make the controls
difficult to operate.
Power Boost
The power boost is a function that can be used to
temporally boost the normal maximum power for a
cook zone by borrowing the available power from a
“paired zone”.
All the cook zones have this function.
Pan detection
When a zone has been activated but no pan has been
placed on the cook zone, the zone will recognise that
there is no pan in position. It also means the hob
only uses power when a suitable pan is placed on the
zone. This reduces the energy used during the cooking
process, i.e. when you take your pan off the zone
the hob automatically reduces the power, and only
switches back on when you replace the pan.
4
Note If the symbol does not disappear
when a pan is placed on the zone it
indicates that the pan is not suitable for
induction cooking.
Note:
This means the hob only uses power when a suitable
pan is placed on the zone, this reduces the energy used
during the cooking process, i.e. when you take your
pan off the zone the hob automatically reduces the
power, and only switches back on when you replace
the pan.
6 WARNING: Ensure you switch off the
appropriate cook zone individually or
by the central on/off key when you have
finished cooking, do not rely upon the
automatic pan detection system as your
means of switching “off” the appliance.
6 The appliance must never be
disconnected from the mains supply
during use, as this will seriously affect
the safety and performance, particularly
in relation to surface temperatures
becoming hot and gas operated parts
not working efficiently. The cooling fan
(if fitted) is designed to run on after the
control knob has been switched off.
14
Residual Heat indicators
If glass surface is above 65oC when the cook zone
is switched off an “H “will be displayed in the cook
zone display until the glass surface drops below
approximately 63oC.
This feature not only warns you against hot surfaces
but also indicates that there is residual heat which can
be used as temporary warm zone.
4
Note - The cook zone itself does not heat
up, but the ceramic glass does get hot
because of the hot pan conducting heat
back onto the hob glass.
Auto stand by
The hob will automatically switch off if left (with
pan) on for an extended period of time, see maximum
running times below. Power boost switches to power
level 9 after 5 minutes on the centre and rear cook
zones.

PANS AND COOKWARE FOR
INDUCTION HOBS
Pans and Cookware for induction cooking zones must
be made of ferrous material such as cast iron and have
magnetic properties. The base must also be of the
correct diameter.
Get a magnet, if a magnet doesn’t stick to your pan, it
is not suitable for use on the induction hob.
6 Cookware made of enamelled steel or
with aluminium or copper bottoms can
leave discolorations on the ceramic glass
surface which are difficult or impossible
to remove.
4
Beware: Not all induction pans are of the
same quality due to their construction.
Pans that use enamelled/laminated/
encapsulated bases can be difficult to
detect, especially small pans (e.g. milk
pans). We recommend that you buy pans
that are marked/advertised as being
suitable for induction.
This problem is not with induction hob
but with the pan type, they can have
bases which are magnetic but are not
thick enough! If you experience problems
with small pans we recommend that you
try a larger pan or a pan of a different
construction. Solid cast iron pans give the
best performance.
15
Pans unsuitable for Induction:
Pans made of copper, stainless steel, aluminium, oven
proof glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta.
Energy Saving Tips
4
It’s important that good quality flat
bottomed pans are used.
4
Always ensure that pan bases are dry
before using them on the hob.
4
Always place cookware on the cooking
zone before it is switched on. When ever
possible place lids on pans.
4
If a pan creates a large air gap over the
middle of the cooking zone, the accuracy
of the temperature sensing can be
affected.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The hob produces a smell the first few times it is
used
Heat a pan full of water on each zone for half an hour.
Pans make a noise during cooking
This is caused by vibration due to the pas-sage of
energy from the hob to the pan. On a high setting this
is quite normal for certain types of saucepan. It will
not dam-age the hob.
The hob makes a slight clicking sound
This is caused by the distribution of power between
two heating zones on the same side of the hob.
The hob won’t work. The indicators don’t come on
The electricity supply is not reaching the appliance
(faulty supply or connection);
Check the fuses and the cut-out switch.
Refer to Troubleshooting chart and if problems
persist call, the customer service hot line for further
assistance.

THE COOLING FAN
During use the fan may cycle on and off, this is
normal.
When the grill is switched on, the cooling fan comes
on to keep the fascia and control knobs cool during
grilling. The fan may continue to operate for a period
after the grill has been switched off.
USING THE GRILL
6 Caution: Accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is used - young children
should be kept away.
6 Important: The grill door must be fully
open when the grill is used.
6 Important: Never operate the grill
between the large flame and the ‘OFF’
position.
1. Open the grill door. Turn the control knob to
the required setting. For best cooking results, we
recommend that you preheat the dual grill for 3
minutes and the single grill for 5 minutes.
4
For grilling small quantities of food,
the centre (economy) grill can be used
with the grill trivet inverted. For large
quantities of food, the full grill can be
used.
4
Variation in grilling can be achieved by
setting the control between the small
and large flame symbols.
20
2. Push the grill pan towards the back of the shelf, to
position it under the grill.
4
The speed of grilling can be controlled by
selecting a higher or lower shelf position.
For toasting, and for grilling foods such
as bacon, sausages or steaks, use a higher
shelf position. For thicker foods such
as chops or chicken joint pieces, use a
middle to low shelf position.
4
The grill trivet (inside the grill pan) can
be inverted to give a high or low position,
or it may be removed. The speed of
grilling can be controlled by selecting
a higher or lower shelf position, or
adjusting the grill setting.
3. To switch off, return the control knob to the off
position.
21
USING THE TOP OVEN
6 When you are cooking keep children
away from the vicinity of the oven.
6 Caution: The top element gets extremely
hot when in use, so take extra care to
avoid touching it.
4
The top oven is a conventional oven.
4
Note: The top oven is not controlled by
the programmer.
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 350mm x 250mm
∙ Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
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
There are either 3 or 4 shelf positions, depending on
which model you have purchased. These are counted
from the bottom of the oven upwards, so shelf
position 1 is the lowest.
When cooking frozen or chilled food, use the highest
possible shelf position, while allowing some clearance
between the food and the top element.
The oven shelf must be positioned with the up-stand
at the rear of the oven and facing up. Position baking
trays and roast-ing tins on the middle of the shelves,
and leave one clear shelf position between shelves, to
allow for circulation of heat.
The cooling fan
When the top oven is switched on, you will hear
the cooling fan come on - this keeps the fascia and
control knobs of the appliance cool during cooking.
The fan may continue to operate for a period after the
oven control has been switched off.
22
TO TURN ON THE TOP OVEN
1. Turn the temperature control knob until the
required temperature is selected.
The white thermostat indicator 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.
2. To switch off, return the top oven control knob to
the off position.
6 Important: Never put items directly on
the base of the oven, or cover the oven
base with foil, as this may cause the
element to overheat. Always position
items on the shelf.
PREHEATING
Preheat the oven until the indicator light switches
off for the first time, this will take up to 15 minutes
depending on the temperature selected.
4
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled foods, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés, and whisked
sponges.
4
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the following guide may
need to be extended, as they are based on
a preheated oven.
4
Put the oven shelves in the position
required before preheating the oven.
The oven shelf must be positioned with the up-stand
at the rear of the oven and facing up. Position baking
trays and roast-ing tins on the middle of the shelves,
and leave one clear shelf position between shelves, to
allow for circulation of heat.
23
USING THE MAIN OVEN - FANNED
6 Accessible parts may be hot when the
oven is used. Young children should be
kept away.
OVEN FURNITURE
Oven shelves
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 350mm x 250mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to 12 small cakes.
∙ Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
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.
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.
To switch on the oven
∙ Turn the oven control knob(s) to the required setting.
The red 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.
24
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.
25
Defrosting and cooling in the main
oven
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.

USING THE OVEN/GRILL - MULTI-FUNCTION
OVEN FURNITURE
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with the upstand at
the rear of the oven and facing upwards.
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.
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 350mm x 250mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to 12 small cakes.
∙ Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
4
We recommend that you use good quality
cookware. Poor quality trays and tins may
warp when heated, leading to uneven
baking results.
6 Never use dishes which are cracked,
damaged or not oven proof as heating
may lead to shattering inside the oven.
SWITCHING ON THE
MULTIFUNCTION OVEN
The multifunction oven can be controlled by the
programmer (see The Programmer/Clock for details).
4
The programmer, must be set to manual
before it can be used, or programmed.
1. Use the function control knob to select the
function you wish to use -see the functions table
for details.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to the
temperature you wish to use.
The thermostat indicator will come on to show that
the oven is heating, and once the temperature is
achieved, it will go out.
3. To switch off the oven, simply turn the control
knob back to the ‘•‘ position.
6 Important: Never place food, or dishes
on the base of the main oven, the
element is here and it will cause over
heating.
4
Note: You can change function during
cooking if you wish, as long as the oven is
in manual mode.
4
The cooling fan may come on during use,
and may continue to run for some time
afterwards.

OVEN & GRILL FUNCTIONS
4
The chart below details all of the
functions which are available. Your oven
may not have all of the functions shown
here.
Main Oven Function Recommended Uses
Base Heat
Only
Used to finish o the
bases of food following
cooking using the
conventional or fanned
modes. The base heat
can be used to provide
additional browning
for pizzas, pies and
quiche. Use this
function towards the
end of cooking.
Top Heat
Only
The heat is ideal from
browning o the tops
of food as it is not
as fierce as the grill
following conventional
or fanned cooking.
Provides additional
browning for dishes
like Lasagna or Cauli-
flower cheese. Use this
function towards the
end of cooking.
Conventional
oven
This function is ideal
for traditional roasting.
The meat is placed in
the middle of the oven,
roast potatoes towards
the top.
Intensive
Bake
Suitable for food with a
high moisture content,
such as quiche, bread
and cheesecake. It also
eliminates the need for
baking pastry blind.
Main Oven Function Recommended Uses
Fanned Grill
The fan allows the heat
to circulate around the
food. Ideal for thinner
foods such as bacon,
fish and gammon
steaks. Foods do not
require turning. Use
with the oven door
closed.
Fanned Oven
The even temperature
in the oven makes this
function suitable for
batch baking, or batch
cooking foods.
Defrost
To defrost foods,
such as cream cakes/
gateaux, use with the
oven door closed. For
cooling dishes prior to
refrigeration, leave the
door open.
Dual Grill
This function cooks
food from the top and
is ideal for a range
of food from toast to
steaks. As the whole
grill is working, you can
cook larger quantities
of food.
Single Grill
For smaller quantities
of food, but is still ideal
for anything from toast
to steaks.
Base Heat
with Fan
Used to cook open
pies (such as mince
pies) the base element
ensures that the base
is cooked while the
fan allows the air to
circulate around the
filling - without being
too intensive.
Lights Only
Use when the oven is
switched o and cold
to aid cleaning the
oven cavity.
28
BEFORE YOU START GRILLING. . . .
Before you use the grill, make sure you have placed the
grill shelf in the position you need as once the grill is
on you may injure yourself if you try to move the shelf.
FANNED / CONVENTIONAL GRILL
6 The grill function must be used with the
door closed.
1. Turn the selector control knob to the grill setting
you require (conventional or fanned).
2. Turn the temperature selector to the heat setting
you require in a similar way to selecting the oven
temperature.
3. To switch off, return the control knobs to the ‘off’
position.
4
Note: Do not set the temperature any
higher than 220°C.
DUAL/SINGLE GRILL
4
This grill function can be used with the
door open, or closed.
1. Turn the selector control knob to the grill setting
you require.
2. Turn the grill control knob to either the dual or
single grill setting. Then select the heat setting.
3. To switch off, return the control knobs to the ‘off’
position.
4
The cooling fan may come on during use,
and may continue to run for some time
afterwards.
4
To adjust your results, you can turn the
grid over, or remove it altogether.
Fixed rate grill: has a full ‘on’ setting and ‘off’.
Variable rate grill: has adjustable heat settings 1 (low)
to 8 (high) or 5 (high) - depending on the model.
Dual grill: has two grill elements which can be used
together, or as a single grill.
If your grill is a dual grill:
∙ The dual grill uses all of the top element and is
ideal for grilling large quantities of food.
∙ The single grill uses part of the element only, and
is better suited to grill smaller amounts of food.
∙ When grilling with the door closed only the inner
part of your grill is used.
The grill neon
When grilling with the door closed, the neon will cycle
on and off as the temperature is maintained inside the
cavity.
4
If the door is open, it will not cycle on
and off.
PRE-HEATING
To get the best results from your oven, we recommend
pre-heating for around 5 to 15 minutes before placing
your dishes in. This is especially important for items
which are chilled, frozen, batter based, yeast based or
whisked sponges.
4
If you are using a fanned function, you
should still preheat but for a shorter time.
4
The items in the cooking guide below are
based on a pre-heated oven, but can be
adjusted to take into account personal
taste.
COOLING AND DEFROSTING
FUNCTION
To cool foods quickly straight after cooking, but before
refrigerating or freezing, turn the oven control to the
defrost position, and open the door.
To defrost frozen foods, turn the oven control to the
defrost position, place the food in the centre of the
oven and close the door.
29
Defrosting times
4
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or
meat - eg; fish fillets, prawns, and mince
will take approximately 1 - 2 hours.
Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
4
A medium sized casserole or stew will
take around 3 - 4 hours.
4
A 1½kg / 3lb oven ready chicken will take
around 5 hours, remove the giblets as
soon as possible.
4
Always check foods are thoroughly
defrosted before cooking.
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
speeded up using this method, but make
sure they are completely thawed before
cooking thoroughly.
4
Place meat and poultry on a trivet in a
meat tin, to catch the juices from the
defrosting process.

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.
4
These cooking times are approximate,
due to the size and type of cooking dish
and personal preferences.

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
temperature of 180 °C, will now cook at
the fanned oven temperature of 160 °C.

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.
36
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
Slow cooking (
S
Setting or 100°C)
4
Make sure that frozen foods are
thoroughly thawed before cooking.
4
Do not slow cook joints of meat or
poultry weighing more than 2¼kg/4½lb.
4
Preheat the oven to 170°C and cook for
30 minutes, then adjust the oven control
to
S
or 100°C (slow cook setting) for the
remainder of the cooking time.
4
Slow cooking times will be about 3 times
as long as conventional cooking times.
4
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily
during slow cooking, as this will result in
heat loss at low temperatures.
4
Always use dishes with tightly fitting lids.
To rectify badly fitting lids, place foil over
the dish underneath the lid.
37
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)

(1lb), plus 35 minutes
Poultry
20 minutes per 450g
(1lb), plus 20 minutes
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.

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.

CUSTOMER CARE
FAQS
What parts of the appliance can be washed in a
dishwasher?
∙ Any enamelled parts such as the grill pan can be
cleaned in a dishwasher, as can oven shelves and
shelf guides.
What parts must NOT be cleaned in a dishwasher?
∙ Parts such as burner skirts and caps, control knobs
and any cast iron items must not be cleaned in a
dishwasher, they should be cleaned with hot soapy
water and a nylon brush once they are cool enough.
There’s been a power failure and the product
won’t work.
∙ Switch off the electricity supply.
∙ When the power returns switch the electricity
supply back on and re-set any programmer/clock
to the correct time of day.
My oven is a single combined oven and grill - can I
use both functions together?
∙ No. You can only use one or the other.
Why is there condensation on the doors?
∙ Condensation is caused by hot, moist air meeting a
cooler surface (i.e. the oven door). You cannot
always prevent it, but you can minimise it when it
happens by doing the following:
∙ Pre-heat the oven at a high temperature before
putting food in the oven, and cover the food you
are cooking wherever possible.
∙ Whenever you can, cook wet foods at higher
temperatures.
∙ Don’t leave food in the oven to cool down.
∙ Automatic cooking will normally produce
condensation when the oven is cooling down with
food inside.
Should the cooling fan continue to run once the
appliance has been switched off?
∙ Yes. This is to make sure that you can always touch
the control knobs to make temperature
adjustments, and turn your appliance off.
What is a Multifunction oven?
∙ A multifunction oven combines a variety of
features, which are explained fully earlier in this
book (if fitted), it allows you more flexibility when
cooking.
46
The neon on my appliance keeps going out and
coming back on again - is this right?
∙ Yes. In most cases the neon (if fitted) will cycle on
and off to show that oven is maintaining your
temperature choice.
Can all gas appliances be converted from Natural
Gas to LP Gas?
∙ Not all gas appliances can be converted. If Category
II is stated on the databadge, then the appliance
may be converted and a conversion kit must be
obtained if not already provided. If in doubt, please
contact Customer Care for further advice - do not
attempt to convert an appliance if it is not
compatible.
Why won’t the ignition work?
∙ Check there is a spark when the ignition button is
depressed. If there is no spark, check the electricity
supply is switched on at the socket. Check that the
gas supply is switched on.
Call Customer Care for a Service Engineer’s visit if:
∙ You find that the oven becomes hotter at a
particular temperature - the thermostat may need
replacing.
∙ The cooling fan fails to work.
