GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning and storage.
Fix the panhandle securely before use:
Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external ‘hooks’ embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)
Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits exactly the protruding support of the pan (fig .2) and holds the pan from the bottom.
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little drinking water into the grill pan will make the collection of grease particles more efficient and prevent the formation of smoke.

Note: To stop fat splashing onto the grill mesh, it is important to use the antisplash tray as shown in the grilling chart. Always clean the grill pan, antisplash tray *, and food support after each use.

Top Oven Shelf Positioning for Grilling

NOTE:
– Preheat the grill if indicated on the grilling chart.
– The grill pan must be placed on the correct shelf and positioned centrally under the grill element.
– Leave the control at MAX (or level 4) for toast, and for 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 MAX (or level 4).
The thicker the food, the lower the control should be set.
– After use always return the grill control to the OFF (1) position.

* Only in some models

USING THE TOP OVEN AS A CONVENTIONAL OVEN

The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath 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 so that the element is directly above. As a guide, the front of the utensil should be approx.100mm (4”) from the front of the shelf.

SHELF POSITIONING

There should always be at least 25mm (1 inch) between the top of the food and the grill element.

Operation when using the Top Oven as a Conventional Oven
Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual.
Step 2 Place the shelf in the correct position (see Oven Temperature Charts).
Step 3 Select the required cooking temperature (100 °C MAX) using control (B) (see Top Oven Temperature Charts). The pilot light will immediately come on and remain on until the oven reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Step 4 Place the food on the shelf directly below the element ensuring the oven door is closed.
NOTE: At the end of your cooking, always return control (B) to the OFF (O) position.
PLATE WARMING
Place the plates/dishes on shelf position 1 from the base of the top oven, and turn top oven temperature control (B) to 100°C for 10-15 minutes.

BOTTOM OVEN – FAN OVEN

Important: The oven is heated by elements at the rear of the oven. A fan at the rear of the oven operates to circulate heated air within the oven.
Operating procedure:

1. Ensure Oven Timer is set to Manual (pressing the central button of the programmer).
2. Turn the selector switch to the fan oven position, then turn the oven thermostat control to the required temperature setting (see oven temperature charts).
3. The oven light will remain on. The oven indicator light will remain on until the oven reaches the set temperature. This light will then automatically cycle on and off during
   cooking as the oven temperature is controlled.
4. After use always return all controls to the off position and close the oven door.

BOTTOM OVEN – FAN OVEN COOKERY NOTES

Since a fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating the oven is often unnecessary. However, foods such as bread, scones, and 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.
Because the fan oven cooks so efficiently, we recommend that when cooking any recipes not designed for a fan oven, you reduce the temperature by about 25°C and the time by about 10 minutes in the hour. If large quantities are being cooked it will be necessary to increase the cooking time somewhat to compensate for the extra oven load.  Unless otherwise indicated in the charts, food is placed in a cold oven, i.e. without preheating.
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.
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.

Oven Positions
Since the distribution of heat in the fan oven is very even, most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, but the shelves should be evenly spaced:
To ensure even circulation do not use meat pans larger than 390x300mm (15ins x 12ins) and baking trays no larger than 330x255mm (13ins x 10ins), these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.
Do not fit shelves upside down.
Never use more than 3 shelves in the oven as air circulation will be restricted.
Food or cooking utensils should not be placed on the floor of the oven. To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod shelves that are not in use should be removed from the oven.
Temperature and Time
The oven is provided with two shelves. A third is available as an optional extra, contact Genuine Parts and Accessories Hotline (see back page) for further information. If 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 larger mass of food.
Baking trays should allow an equal gap on all sides of the oven.

To prepare meat and poultry for Roasting in your Fan Oven
(a) Wipe the meat or poultry, dry well, and weigh it. Meat that 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 bottom oven meat pan supplied with your cooker. Small joints weighing less than 1.75kg  (31/2 lbs) should be roasted in a smaller meat pan/ tin or they may be ‚pot roasted’ a small joint or 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 aluminum foil will be juicy and tender. Roasting bags offer the same advantages. Always follow the manufacturer’s 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,1 lb), or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per 450g, 1 lb).
Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before placing in the oven.
It is essential to wash thoroughly and cook meat and poultry immediately after defrosting.

GUIDE TO GRILLING

* We recommend using the pan to collect the cooking juices: Position it below the food support and add 300 ml of drinking water.
** Turn food at half cooking
***During longer periods of grilling, it is normal for the grill to cycle on and off periodically. The element may appear black for a few minutes at a time, before glowing red again
We recommend opening the door to check the browning level of the food.

OVEN TEMPERATURE CHARTS BAKING

To Oven – Conventional cooking

BOTTOM OVEN – FAN COOKING

* For cooking on double level, we suggest using levels 1-3.

OVEN TEMPERATURE CHARTS – MEAT

Bottom oven – Fan Cooking

The most accurate method of testing the readiness of joints of meat or whole poultry is to insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of a joint, or the thickest part of poultry thighs, during the cooking period. The meat thermometer will indicate when the required internal temp has been reached.

Care and Cleaning

Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
Use protective gloves during all operations.
Carry out the required operations with the oven cold.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.?
Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers, or abrasive/  corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

• Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth.
  If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.
• Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products inadvertently comes into contact with the surfaces of the appliance, clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.

INTERIOR SURFACES

• After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues. To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with high water content, allow the oven to cool completely, and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.
• The door can be easily removed and refitted to facilitate the cleaning of the glass.
• Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.

ACCESSORIES
Soak the accessories in a washing-up liquid solution after use, handling them with oven gloves if they are still hot. Food residues can be removed using a washing-up brush or a sponge.
REPLACEMENT OF THE OVEN LAMP

Disconnect the oven from the power supply. Unscrew the cover from the light, replace t
The bulb (25W – 230V – T 300 °C – E14) screw the cover back on the light.
Reconnect the oven to the power supply.
The bulb used in the product is specifically designed for domestic appliances and is not suitable for general room lighting within the home (EC Regulation 244/2009). Light bulbs are available from our After-sales Service.
If using halogen bulbs, do not handle them with your bare hands as your fingerprints could cause damage. Do not use the oven until the light cover has been refitted.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR
To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until they are in the unlock position. Set the hinge lock to the widest angle. Adjust both hinges connecting the oven door to the oven to the same position.

Later, close the opened oven door so it will be able to contact the hinge lock.

Fake a firm hold of the door with both hands – do not hold it by the handle. Simply remove the door by continuing to close it while pulling it upwards at the same time until it is released from its seating.

Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface.
Reversely perform respectively what you did while opening the door to reinstall the oven door back.

Remove the Inner Glass as Follows: -Remove the screws from both sides of the door
Gently ease the top trim away from the door. Be careful not to lose the metal brackets and rubber buffers (if fitted)
Gently ease the glass upwards and remove it from the door. Repeat with the center door glass (if fitted)

Catalytic Cleaning
In some models, the most exposed internal vertical sides of the oven are coated with porous enamel, which is called catalytic enamel. When heated, this enamel destroys fat particles given off by the food. This „oxidation” of the fat particles occurs when the temperature of the sides exceeds 170°C. The porous quality of the catalytic enamel increases the surface area where the exchange vital to the oxidation of the fats takes place.

1. Open the door fully and unscrew the two screws securing the glass panel so that the securing brackets can be turned. There is no need to remove the screws completely.
2. Turn the brackets so that the glass can be removed and cleaned at the sink (Fig. 1.).
3. The inside of the outer door glass can now be cleaned while still fitted to the cooker.

NEVER OPERATE THE COOKER WITHOUT THE INNER DOOR GLASS IN POSITION.
Refit the door inner glass as follows.

1. NOTE: The inner door glass has a special reflective coating on one side. Replace the door’s inner glass so that the statement: „IMPORTANT THIS FACE
   TOWARDS THE OVEN” can be read from the inner side of the door.
2. Turn the two securing brackets back to their original position to retain the glass and  tighten the screws (Fig. 2.)

If there is still grime on the catalytic surfaces after the cooking program has ended, leave the empty oven on with the door shut, turning the temperature adjustment knob to its maximum setting. Leave the oven like this for a period of time between 60 and 90 minutes, according to how much dirt was left inside. The cleaning process for more stubborn food residues may be quickened by using hot water and a soft brush.
