Main Oven & Top Oven/ Grill
Grill
When using the top oven or main oven, the red thermostat indicator light will come on until the selected temperature is reached.
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.
Top Oven - Grill
6 The door must be OPEN when the grill is used.
Main Oven - Grill
6 The door must be CLOSED when the grill is used for fanned and conventional grilling.
GRILL PAN, TR IVET AND DETACHABLE GRILL PAN HANDLE
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.

U S I N G T H E H O B
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.
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 isnt wasted.
Small Pan
Large Pan
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 its individual power setting.
12
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.
4 Note The Power Boost function will only operate for a limited time and is also under thermal control. This means the power boost will deactivate automatically if the product is hot, to protect the internal electronic components of the hob and to prevent the cookware from overheating.
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.
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.

BE FORE YOU START GRILL ING . . . .
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.
Do not close the door while the grill is in use. Turn the top oven control knob to the required grill
setting. Turn the grill control knob (if fitted) to the heat
setting you require. To switch off, return the control knob(s) to the off
position. The cooling fan will come on during use, and may
continue to run for some time afterwards. To adjust your results, you can turn the grid over,
or remove it altogether. 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.
THE GRILL PAN
This appliance comes with a grill pan and trivet.
SHE LF & TR IVET ADJUSTMENTS
Speed of grilling can be adjusted by changing the shelf position or the turning the trivet.
High: For thin foods and toasting Low: For thicker meat pieces.
ALUMINIUM FOIL
6 Never cover the grill pan or grill trivet with foil, or allow fat to build up in the grill pan, as this creates a fire hazard.
6 Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. Children should be kept away
TYPES OF GRILL
Dual grill: has two grill elements which can be used together, or as a single grill.
For best results: Pre-heat the single grill for 5 minutes and the dual grill for 3 minutes.
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.
20
U S I N G T H E T O P O V E N
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.
OVE N 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
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.
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.
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 tem-perature.
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.
21
PRE HE ATING
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, souffls, 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.
WHEN US ING THE TOP 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.

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 US ING 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.
23
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.
24
Keep Warm (Setting or 70C)
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.

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 1kg/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.

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 20C.
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.

GENE RAL 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.
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 insufficient
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
insufficient 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 insufficient
liquid.
Burnt outside
Oven temperature too high.
Oven too small for the size of
cake. Insufficient protection
around the tin. Cake baked
on too high a shelf.
Texture with
pronounced
holes.
Too much raising agent. Flour
unevenly mixed.
31
Problem Possible Cause
Texture too
close and cake
insufficiently
risen.
Not enough raising agent.
Not enough liquid. Too

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
its cooked. Use of soft tub
margarine.

R O A S T I N G G U I D E
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: 160C - 180C (fanned) 180C - 200C (conv.)
Approximate Cooking Time (preheated oven)

Pork 35 minutes per 450g
(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 (2lb) 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.
