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.

1. General
The appliance is designed for
mounting at a safe level into an
open housing which must be
secured to the backing wall.
IMPORTANT
It is essential that the lower
cupboard is constructed in the
manner illustrated see pages 6 and
7 ie. having side, back and roof
panels so joined as to provide no
apertures which could permit
access to the oven unit when
installed .
2. Oven Unit Housing Cabinets
a. The oven unit housing cabinet
dimensions must comply with
Fig. 4. (See page 7.)
b. An air gap of 50 mm minimum
must be provided at the rear of

or shelves. (See Fig. 1 page
6.)
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 wooden packing under
the bottom of the cabinet.
Make sure that the cabinet
rests firmly on the cabinet floor
without rocking
c. Ventilation must be
unobstructed, ie. 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 shown overleaf.
c. Before the oven is fitted, the
cabinet must be firmly secured
to the backing wall for stability.
d. The air gap at the rear allows
the warmed air to pass out of

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 21.)
3. Fan Cooking (Lower Oven) -
the fan oven operates by
constantly blowing heated air
3
from an element wrapped 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.
11
Before Using the
Oven for the First Time
Make sure the electricity supply
is switched ON.
that the room is well ventilated (eg,
open a window or door) 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
new smell has ceased.
Turn the selector switch to fan oven
function, then turn oven thermostat to
MAX. Also turn Top Oven/Grill
selector to MAX.
Please note that when the double
oven is used for the first time a
slight odour may be emitted due to
the ‘burning off’ of any temporary
finish on oven fittings and elements
and the removal of moisture
absorbed by the lagging. The odour
will cease after a short period of
use.
To remove the ‘new smell’, heat up
the empty oven for 30 minutes
keeping the door closed. Ensure
The oven temperature thermostat
lights will come on as well as the
interior light, oven fan, control panel
illumination, and cooling fan.

Top Oven Temperature Control
Turn the control clockwise to set the
top oven thermostat to the required
temperature. An indicator light will
illuminate. This will remain on until the
oven reaches the required
temperature. This light will then cycle
on and off as the thermostat maintains
control of the oven thermostat.
Before using your oven in the
ordinary way, ALWAYS make
sure that the timer has been set
to MANUAL operation. Unless
this is done, the main oven cannot
heat up. Before seeking assistance,
make sure this is done (refer to oven
timer operation).
Multifunction Selector
Grill Control
Rotate the control knob in either
direction until the required function
symbol appears in the control window.
Many of the functions will also require
the main oven thermostat to be set
before the oven will heat up.
The grill control is designed to provide
variable heat control of either
both grill elements on together or the
single left-hand grill element only. Turn
the top oven control clockwise past the
temperature settings to the half grill or
full grill settings, depending on which
you require. To set the grill power, turn
the grill control to any setting 1-6. After
use always return the controls to their
off position "O".
Main Oven Temperature Control
This is used in addition to the
multifunction selector. This is used for
the functions: fan oven, fan grill, half
grill and full grill and conventional
oven.
Cooling Fan
Turn the control clockwise to set the
oven thermostat to the required
temperature.
A gentle flow of air will be blown below
the control panel when any
control is used. In some instances this
will continue after switching off.
This helps to keep the control panel
and knobs cool.
If the timer is set correctly and the
selector switch set to a suitable
function an indicator light will
illuminate. This will remain on until
the oven reaches the required
temperature. This light will then cycle
on and off as the thermostat maintains
control of the oven temperature.
After use Always return the controls to
their off ‘O’ position.

Oven Timer Operation
The oven timer offers you the following
features:
8. Wine or beer may ferment and
cream may curdle during the
delay period, so it is best to add
these ingredients just before
serving.
9. 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.
1. Time of Day
2. Automatic Cooking
3. Minute Minder
Automatic Cooking
The main fan oven can be controlled
automatically.
10. Dishes containing liquid should not
be filled too full to prevent
boiling over.
11. 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.
Guidance on automatic cooking
1. Select foods which will take the
same time to cook.
2. Set the oven timer so that the food
has just finished or is just about to
finish cooking on your return to the
oven. This will ensure the food has
not cooled down and does not
require reheating before serving.
3. Food should be as cold as possible
when it goes into the oven, ideally
straight from the refrigerator.
Frozen meat and poultry should be
thawed thoroughly before it is put in
the oven.
12. Ensure food is cooked thoroughly
before serving.
4. We advise that warm food should
never be placed in the oven if
there is to be a delay period. Stews
prepared by frying the meat and
vegetables should be cooked as
soon as possible.
5. We advise dishes containing left-
over cooked poultry or meat, for
example Shepherds Pie, should not
be cooked automatically if there is to
be a delay period.
6. Stews and joints should be cooked
by the long slow method, so
that the delay period is kept to a
minimum.
7. On warm days, to prevent harmful
bacterial growth in certain foods (ie
poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start
should be kept to a minimum.

Grilling in the Top Oven
Keep young children away from
the appliance when the grill is in
use as the surfaces get extremely
hot.
Grilling should NOT be
undertaken with the Grill/Top
Oven door closed. (See below)
The heat can now be adjusted by
setting the grill regulator.
Please note that the Grill will not
operate unless the Top Oven/Grill
Selector is in a grill position.
After use, turn both controls
ANTI-CLOCKWISE to their off
positions.
Never: Line the grill pan with
aluminium foil.
Grill Procedure
The grill control provides variable
heat control of the grill element and
will only operate once the oven
control has been set to a grill
position (fully clockwise).
Ensure oven timer is set to Manual.
Pre-heat the grill at setting 6 for
approximately 1 minute.
When toasting/grilling, the rod shelf
is placed in either the first or
second runner position from base. The
grill pan is placed on the shelf and
pushed back as far as possible to
correctly position it under the grill
element. Leave the control at 6 for
toast, and for sealing and fast
cooking of foods. For thicker foods
requiring longer cooking, turn the
switch to a lower setting after the
initial sealing on both sides at 6.
The thicker the food, the lower the
control should be set.
The grill regulator is designed to
provide variable heat control of
either the twin grill elements on
together or the single left-hand grill
element only, depending on which
mode you select:
To select twin grill, first turn the Top
Oven/Grill Selector clockwise to Full
Grill.
The heat can now be adjusted by
setting the grill regulator.
To select single grill turn the Top
Oven/Grill Selector clockwise to Half
Grill.
Food which requires browning only
should be placed under the hot grill
directly on the shelf in the first or
second runner from the bottom of
the oven, according to the depth of

Cooking in the Top Oven –
Conventional Cooking
The Top Oven can be used to cook
small quantities of food or used in
conjunction with the Main Oven to
provide additional cooking space
so often necessary when
reaches the required temperature.
The indicator light will then
automatically go off and on during
cooking as the thermostat maintains
the correct temperature. If the
indicator light doesn’t come on
when the control knob is turned,
check that the oven timer is set to
Manual as described in ‘Oven Timer
Operation'.
entertaining.
The oven is designed so that the
grill element operates at a reduced
heat output (element will not glow),
combined with a heating element
situated underneath the floor of the
oven.
Do not place items directly onto
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 directly beneath the element. (As
a guide, the front of the
utensil should be approximately
100 mm/4 in from the front of the
shelf.)
There are two cooking positions, the
shelf placed on runner 1 or 2 (from the
base).
Food or utensils must never be
placed directly on the floor of the
oven.
There should always be at least
25mm (1 in) between the top of the
food and the grill element.
Do not use utensils larger than
300mm x 230mm (12in x 9in).
Larger utensils should be used in
the Main oven.
Cooking Meat/Poultry in the Top
Oven
The Top Oven is most useful for the
longer slower cooking required for
cheaper cuts of meat – casserole
cooking, pot roasting, braising etc.
Small joints of meat up to 1.5 kg
(3 Ib), or poultry, up to 3.6 kg (8 Ib)
in weight can be roasted in a small
meat pan in the Top Oven, but
should preferably be ‘slow roasted’
or covered with a lid of aluminium
foil (one or two incisions in the top
of the foil will allow the meat or
poultry to brown).
Larger joints of meat, and poultry
weighing more than 3.6 kg (8 Ib),
should be roasted in the Main
Oven.
Do not use the Main Oven meat
pan or the grill pan as a meat pan
in the Top Oven as air circulation
will be seriously restricted.
Top Oven as a Warming
Compartment for Plates and
Dishes
Place the plates and dishes on the
shelf that has been positioned on
runner 1 of the oven and turn on the
Top Oven thermostat to 100˚C for 10-
15 minutes.
Operation
To heat the oven, turn the Top
Oven/Grill Selector clockwise, selecting
the required temperature between
100˚C (200˚F) and 220˚C (425˚F) as
recommended in the Top Oven
Temperature Charts. The Top Oven
indicator light will immediately come
on and remain on until the oven
DO NOT use the grill control.
