Introduction
Your new appliance is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable
if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this
booklet.
To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.
The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for
use in any other installation.
When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted,
this will cease after a period of use
When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an
extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is
suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due
to temporary finish on oven liners and elements and also any moisture absorbed by the
insulation.

Hotplates General Information Notes (All Models)
USE OF HOTPLATES
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob
surface.
Turn the control to 6 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.

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 6 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.

General Information Notes (Ceramic Hobs)
Safety requirements for deep fat frying
IMPORTANT – As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to the heating
of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended
(e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the
temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods,
in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added to quickly.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.
SAFETY ADVICE IN CASE OF A CHIP-PAN FIRE
In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire.
1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.
2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and
extinguish the fire.
3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT. Injuries are often
caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.

Choosing Your Utensils
Choosing your utensils
Below are some guidelines to help you make the right choice of utensils.
To obtain a satisfactory performance from a ceramic hob and to avoid unnecessary damage, we
recommend the use of good quality utensils with smooth flat bases.
Remember
1. Purchasing a new pan will not necessarily mean it will have a flat base, always check before
buying. See diagram below.
2. Using the correct pans and utensils will result in maximum contact with the hob and maximum
efficiency as with any type of electric hob.
Do use good quality smooth flat based utensils.
Do use a utensil which has approximately the same base area as the heating area zone being used.
Do use utensils which have more than sufficient capacity for the amount of food being cooked to
prevent boil over or spillage.
Do use utensils with good fitting lids.
Do use a low dome pressure cooker for best results.
Good quality

WARNING: Extreme caution should be used when cleaning the hot hob.
Important
1. Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean cloth or a paper towel to avoid
unnecessary damage to the hob.
Extreme care should be taken to avoid steam burns and hot surfaces when cleaning spillage from
the hob.
2. When cooking food which contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a utensil which is large
enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar spillage will permanently damage the hob
and therefore should be cleaned off with care immediately. If sugar spillage has occurred,
remove it as long as it is still hot with a metal safety razor scraper provided. This will avoid any
damage. NEVER LET IT COOL BEFORE REMOVING.
3. Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before placing on the ceramic hob.

Choosing Your Utensils
Do not use utensils with rough bases.
Do not use lightweight utensils with thin, distorted or uneven bases.
Do not use lightweight enamelled steel utensils.
Do not use cast iron utensils.
Do not use utensils with recessed, scrolled or ridged bases.
Do not use a utensil which has a base concavity greater than l mm as this will reduce the
performance of the hob.
Do not use a utensil with a convex base.
Do not use glass ceramic utensils.
Do not 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 halo-
gen hobs, the use of these pans must be in accordance with the saucepan manufacturers’ recom-
mendations. 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.

Main Oven Cookery Notes
The oven is fitted with ‘Stay Clean’ liners and two rod shelves.
To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise, selecting the
required temperature 80˚C (175˚F) and 230˚C (450˚F) as recommended
in the temperature chart. The indicator light will immediately come on
and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. This
light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
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.
Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at
a lower temperature than a conventional oven, preheating the oven is
often unnecessary. However food such as bread, scones, Yorkshire
pudding, do benefit from being placed in a pre-heated oven.
The charts are a guide only, giving approximate cooking temperatures
and times. To suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to
increase or decrease temperatures by 10
˚C
Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold
oven, i.e. without pre-heating. If food is placed in an already hot
oven, the suggested cooking time should be reduced, depending
on the type and quantity of food being cooked.
Oven Positions
Since the distribution of heat in the circulaire ovens is very even,
most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the
shelves should be evenly spaced. Do not fit shelves upside down.
The Top Oven rod shelf can be used in the Main Oven when cooking large
quantities of food. Additional shelves can be purchased through your
oven supplier or Spares Centre. Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven
as air circulation will be seriously restricted. To ensure even circulation do
not use meat pans larger than 390 x 300mm (15" x 12") and baking trays
no larger than 330 x 255mm (13" x 10"), these should be positioned
centrally on the oven shelf. Food should not be placed directly on the floor
of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves which are not in
use should be removed from the oven.
Temperature
and Time
When three shelves are used to cook large quantities of food for
home freezing or parties, it may be necessary to increase the
cooking times given in the charts by a few minutes, to allow for the loss of
heat due to the extra time taken to load the oven, and the large mass of
food. Baking trays should allow an equal gap at either side of the oven.
N.B. Recipes in cookery books give times and temperatures for
cooking in ordinary ovens. The introduction of improved thermal
insulation on fan ovens makes it possible, in most cases, to reduce
(a) the recommended temperature by 25
˚
C
(45 F) and
˚
(b) the recommended time by approximately 10 minutes per hour.

Main Oven Cookery Notes
To prepare meat and poultry for roasting in your fan oven.
(a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well and weigh it. Meat which has been
stored in a refrigerator should be allowed to come to room
temperature before cooking, and frozen meat or poultry must be
completely defrosted before placing in the oven.
(b) The weight of any stuffing used should be added before calculating the
cooking time.
(c) Place meat/poultry in the meat pan supplied with your cooker.
1
2
Small joints weighing less than 1.75kg (3 / lbs) should be
roasted in a smaller meat pan/tin - or they may be 'pot roasted' -
a small joint in a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven
splashing and evaporation of meat juices.
(d) Additional fat should not be added, except for veal, very lean
meat or poultry which can either be 'larded' with fat bacon or
brushed very sparingly with cooking oil or melted fat.
(e) Beef, lamb, mutton and poultry may be dusted lightly with seasoned
flour to give a crisp outer surface. The skin of duck and goose should be
pricked to release excess fat during cooking, and the rind of pork
should be scored, brushed lightly with oil, and rubbed with salt, to give
crisp crackling.
(f) Meat and poultry wrapped in, or covered with a tent of aluminium foil
will be juicy and tender. Roasting bags offer the same advantages.
Always follow the manufacturers pack instructions, and remember to
reduce the temperatures given for conventional ovens by
approximately 25˚C and the time by approximately 10 minutes per
hour.
(g) Potatoes for roasting only require to be brushed with cooking oil
or melted fat.
(h) It is not necessary to baste when roasting in an electric oven and
stock or liquid should not be added to the meat pan since this
only causes unnecessary soiling, steam and condensation.
Frozen Meat
and Poultry
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably
in a domestic refrigerator (allowing 5 - 6 hours per 450g, 1lb), or at
room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1lb).
The breast should be covered with foil, held in position by skewers or
string, and the giblets removed after defrosting but before cooking.
THIS METHOD OF DEFROSTING IS ONLY RECOMMENDED FOR
MEAT/POULTRY UP TO 2kg (4lb) IN WEIGHT, AND IT IS ESSENTIAL TO
COOK IT THOROUGHLY, IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS.

Using the Main Oven for Other Functions
90
˚C
SLOW 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 ‘S’ (Slow Cooking Temperature) 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 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, 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 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 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 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
TURN OFF THE MAIN COOKER WALL SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS
ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH
ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN
CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY KIND UNLESS
SPECIFIED BELOW.
Cleaning materials
to avoid
1. Plastic or nylon pads / scourers, these may scratch the surface.
2. Household abrasive powders.
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the
metal frame.
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
Electric solid plate
hotplates
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold,
using a soap filled Brillo pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will
ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with
a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been removed.
Finally, turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear with a
little cooking oil to provide a protective coating, or the restorative agent
Homecare Four Hob, available from Credacare Spares or leading
supermarkets. The bezels will mellow with use to a burnished gold colour,
a soap filled Brillo pad will help to keep them bright, care should be taken
not to damage the vitreous enamel hob surface.
Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot
hotplates as these can hold condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental
operation with a cover in place can cause intense heat. Never place
saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause corrosion.
Ceramic hob
To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the hob and
cooking utensils are clean and dry 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 ‘discolourations’ that 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.

Care and Cleaning
Grill
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.
Control Panel
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.
Decorative Trims
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.
Doors
Wipe over the door with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water, then after
wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
DO NOT use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch the
surface.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals. Do not lift
the door seal from the oven chassis, if necessary remove the seal by carefully
unhooking the corner clips.
Ovens
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.
Oven Liners
The surface of the ‘Stay Clean’ oven liners are treated on the mottled face 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. In most cases normal
cooking operation at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to
proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking temperatures are not used
regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without
a meat pan at maximum setting for a couple of hours. This may be necessary
once a month or once every two or three months depending on the type and
amount of oven cooking.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‘Stay Clean’ panels in water. If
desirable remove the rod shelves and the side panels and wash them in warm
soapy water, followed by rinsing in clean water.
WARNING: To avoid electric shocks - please ensure that the
electricity supply to the appliance is switched off and the
appliance is fully cold, before removing the lamp lens.
Oven Lamp
Replacement
Open the oven door and remove the rod shelves. Using a suitable cloth to
protect the fingers grip the light glass dome, unscrew anti-clockwise and
lift. Reach into the aperture with fingers, and unscrew the lamp anti-
clockwise. Fit replacement lamp (15W 300˚C rated SES), refit dome.
