Grilling
Grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed.
The grill pan handles must be removed from
the pan during grilling. Always use oven gloves
to remove and replace the grill pan handles.
Ensure that you support the grill pan when
removing it from the oven.

How to Use the Full Grill
1. Set the oven control function knob to .
2. Set the thermostat control knob to the required tem-
perature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster cooking and further
away for more gentle cooking.
Preheat the grill on a full setting  for a  few minutes before
sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and
the shelf as necessary, during cooking.
During cooking, the cooling fan and the thermostat
control light will operate in the same way as described
for the fan oven function.

How to Use the Inner Grill
Element
The inner grill provides quick direct heat to the central
area of the grill pan. By using the inner grill element for
cooking small quantities, it can help to save energy.
1. Set the oven control function knob to 
.
2. Set the thermostat control knob to the required
temperature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food and follow the
instructions for grilling.
O
IL
Hints and Tips
- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill
pan to allow maximum circulation of air and to lift the
food out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish,
liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill
pan, if preferred.
- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly
with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist
during cooking.
- Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms
may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats
- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner
position is used.
- The food should be turned over during cooking, as
required.
The grill element is controlled by the thermostat.
During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to
prevent overheating.
The chart is intended as a guide only and should be adjusted according to taste.
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat and not on its weight.

How to Use the Thermal Grill
Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking
food items normally associated with conventional grilling.
The grill element and the oven fan operate alternately,
circulating hot air around the food. The need to check
and turn the food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to
minimize cooking smells in the kitchen.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks, you can
thermally grill all the foods you would normally cook
under a conventional grill. Cooking is more gentle,
therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook with
thermal grilling compared with conventional grilling. One
of the advantages is that larger quantities can be cooked
at the same time.
1. Turn the oven control function knob on 
.
2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required
temperature. Select a maximum temperature of
200°C
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food and follow the
instructions for grilling.

 Hints and Tips
Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling.
Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter
to keep them moist during cooking.
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the
temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed of
defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food which
could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux,
iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast products.
How to Use Defrosting
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the OFF
position.
Defrosting
Hints and Tips
 Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.
 ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
 Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when
ever possible and turned over half way through the
defrosting process.
 Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg. (4 lb.) are
suitable for defrosting in this way.

Cleaning the Oven
Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to
cool the oven down before switching off at the
electricity supply.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or
with a steam cleaning machine.
The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in
a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check
that they are suitable and that their use is recommended
by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should
also be avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door
seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little mild washing-up liquid has been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass
panels avoid the use of the following:
 Household detergent and bleaches
 Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans
 Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
 Chemical oven pads or aerosols
 Rust removers
 Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy
water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled
it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite is used. Do not use paint scrapers to remove soilage.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed
the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and
must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the
panel shattering. Contact your local Service Force
Centre who will be pleased to advise further.
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be
necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.
Oven Shelves
To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water and
remove stubborn marks with a  well wetted soap
impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.
Models in stainless steel or
aluminium
We recommend to clean the oven door using only a wet
sponge and dry it after cleaning with a soft cloth.
Never use steel wool, acids or abrasive products as they
can damage the oven surface.
Clean the oven control panel following the same
precautions. 
						

							15
Replacing the Oven Light

supply.
If the oven bulb needs replacing, it must comply with the
following specifications:
- Wattage power: 15 W,
- Voltage: 230 V (50 Hz),
- Resistant to temperatures of 300 °C,
- Connection type: E14.
These bulbs are available from your local Service Force

1.Ensure the oven is disconnected from the
electrical supply.
2. Turn the glass cover  anticlockwise.
3. Remove the faulty bulb and replace with the new one.
4. Refit the glass cover.
5. Reconnect to the electrical supply.
