Using the hotplate• Commercial simmering aids

should not be used as they createexcessive temperatures that candamage the surface and maycause a hazard.

• Do not place aluminium foil orplastic utensils on the ceramicglass, as they may melt anddamage the surface.

• Do not use the ceramic glasshotplate surface for storage.

• When cooking with fat or oil,never leave unattended.

• Turn pan handles to a safe position,so they are out of reach of children,not overhanging the appliance, andcannot be caught accidentally.

• Position pans over the centre of thehotplate elements.

• Do not use the hob as a choppingboard or a storage area, as thisincreases the likelihood of it beingdamaged - eg; plastic utensilsplaced on a warm hob may meltonto it, and damage the ceramicglass surface.

• Aluminium foil must not be placedon the hob as it will reflect anyheat back into the element, whichcan damage it.

• Leaving a hotplate on for a lengthof time, without it being coveredby a pan, causes overheating ofsurrounding areas which coulddamage the glass.

• Be careful when cooking foods insalted water, or foods containinglarge amounts of sugar, syrup orjam - if they are spilt onto hot areasof the hob they may damage it.

• Lift pans onto and off the surface,rather than sliding them across thesurface, to avoid marks andscratches.

• If you use a wet paper towel toremove spills from a warm heatingarea of the hob, be careful toavoid steam burns.

• Do not use abrasive powdercleaners, metal wire wool pads,impregnated plastic pads, detergents,bleaches, bath stain removers, orchemical oven cleaners; all thesetypes of products will damage theceramic glass.

USING THE HOB

To save energy• Always position pans centrally

over the heating area.• Put lids on saucepans and only heat

the amount of liquid you need.• When liquids boil, reduce the

control setting to maintain a simmer.• Consider the use of a pressure

cooker for the cooking of acomplete meal.

• Vegetables will cook quicker ifchopped in smaller pieces.

• Larger heating elements are idealfor faster cooking methods, such asboiling or frying, and for larger pans.Smaller heating elements are idealfor simmering and stewing, andfor smaller pans.

• Do not use a pan which is toosmall or too large for the heatingarea - refer to notes on next page.

Choice of pansThe choice of cookware is importantif you are to achieve maximumbenefit from cooking with a ceramichob.Ceramic hobs are not only easy toclean, they are also energy efficient ifyou use the right pans to suit the surface.When buying new pans, always referto the manufacturer’s guidelines.For best results and energy efficiency,it is important to use flat bottomedpans of the correct type, especially onceramic glass hobs.Always use pans which are largeenough to prevent spillage, especiallyfor deep frying, or when cooking witha sugar based substance.Trivets, round based woks, heatdiffuser pads and over-sized pans arenot recommended.Do not use double pans, rim basedpans, old misshapen pans or any panwhich is unstable when placed on aflat surface.

7

USING THE HOB

Type and size of pan• Cast iron, stainless steel, or

enamelled steel pans are all suitablefor use on ceramic glass hobs.

• Aluminium pans will give goodcooking results but care must betaken in their use. If they are slidacross the surface of the hob theytend to leave visible marks whichcan be difficult to remove.

• Certain makes / brands of pressurecookers may not be suitable for useon ceramic hobs - they do not cometo pressure. Stainless steel pressurecookers will give optimum results.

• Glass pans can be used but the glowfrom the heating areas transmittedthrough transparent glass maycause some visual discomfort.

• Avoid using double pans or oldmisshapen pans which areunstable and dangerous.

• Certain types of copper basedpans may become slightlyconcave when heated, which canresult in slower cooking times.

• Always use pans which are largeenough to avoid overflows onto theceramic hob, especially if a pancontains any sugar / sugar basedsubstance, as this is corrosive and candamage the ceramic glass surface.

• Pan bases should be thick, flat, andsmooth, to ensure maximum contactwith the hob, maximum heatconduction and rapid cooking times.

• Pans with dull or dark colouredbases will give the quickestcooking results.

• Pans with highly polished basescan reflect heat back into the hobcausing the hotplate to cycle onand off more rapidly than normal,which can slow down cooking.

• Pans with thin, dented or ridgedbases should not be used. Theywill not make maximum contactwith the hob, which can result invery slow cooking times.

• The right size of pan base willensure maximum contact with thehob and rapid cooking times.

• Use pans with a flat base ofminimum 100mm / 4” diameterand maximum 280mm / 11”diameter which are stable in use.

• Pan bases that are much smaller ormuch larger than the hotplate - eg;by 50mm / 2” - will result inslower cooking times.

Alwaysposition items on the shelf.Top heat onlyTurn the top oven selector past theoven temperature markings to the topheat symbol. This fixed heat settingcan be used to brown the top of dish-es such as cauliflower cheese orbaked alaska.

The cooling fanWhen the top oven is switched on, youwill hear the cooling fan come on - thiskeeps the fascia and control knobs ofthe appliance cool during cooking.The fan will continue to operate for aperiod after the oven control has beenswitched off.PreheatingThe oven must be preheated whencooking frozen or chilled foods, andwe recommend preheating for yeastmixtures, batters, soufflés, andwhisked sponges.Preheat the oven until the indicatorlight switches off for the first time, thiswill take up to 20 minutes dependingon the temperature selected.If you are not preheating the oven, thecooking times in the following guidemay need to be extended, as they arebased on a preheated oven.

13

USING THE TOP OVEN

Shelf positionsThere are 2 shelf positions which arecounted from the bottom of the ovenupwards, so shelf position 1 is the lowest.When cooking frozen or chilled food,use the highest possible shelf position,while allowing some clearancebetween the food and the top element.The oven shelf must be positioned withthe upstand at the rear of the oven andfacing up. Position baking trays androasting tins on the middle of theshelves, and leave one clear shelf posi-tion between shelves, to allow for cir-culation of heat.When using the top ovenAs part of the cooking process, hot airis expelled through a vent at the top ofthe oven(s). When opening the ovendoor, care should be taken to avoidany possible contact with potentially hotair, since this may cause discomfort topeople with sensitive skin. We recommendthat you hold the underneath of theoven door handle.

Cooking timesThese times are based on cooking in apreheated oven.These cooking times are approximate,because the size and type of cookingdish will influence time as well as per-sonal preferences.

Shelf positionsAs a general guide, when cookingfrozen or chilled food, use the highestpossible shelf position, while allowingsome clearance between the food andthe top element. Follow the instructionsgiven on packaging.

Cooking temperaturesThe temperature settings and timegiven in the Baking Guides are basedon dishes made with block margarine.If soft tub margarine is used, it may benecessary to reduce the temperaturesetting. If a recipe gives a differenttemperature setting to that shown inthe guide, the recipe instruction shouldbe followed.Because the top oven is morecompact, it may be necessary toreduce cooking temperatures specifiedin recipes by up to 20˚C.Use the baking guide as a referencefor determining which temperaturesto use.

Using the Top Oven

Cooking with a fanned ovenAs this is a high efficiency oven,you may notice the emission ofsteam from the oven when thedoor is opened. Please takecare when opening the door.If you have been used to cooking witha conventional oven, you will find anumber of differences to cooking witha fanned oven, which will require adifferent approach:There are no zones of heat in afanned oven, the convection fan at theback of the oven ensures an eventemperature throughout the oven. Thismakes it ideal for batch baking - eg;when planning a party or stocking thefreezer, as all items will be cookedwithin the same length of time.Foods are cooked at a lower temperaturethan a conventional oven, so conven-tional recipe temperatures may haveto be reduced. Please refer to theconversion chart.Pre-heating is generally not necessaryas a fan oven warms up quickly.There is no flavour transference in afan oven, which means you can cookstrong smelling foods such as fish atthe same time as mild foods - eg; milkpuddings.When batch baking foods that will riseduring cooking - eg; bread - alwaysensure that enough space has been leftbetween shelves to allow for the rise.

Notes:When 2 or more shelves are beingused, it may be necessary to increasethe cooking time slightly.Because the 2 oven shelves are widerthan in many ovens, it is possible tocook 2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoriasandwiches or 2 casseroles. Althoughyou need to keep in mind the pointfrom the previous page ‘To help the aircirculate freely’ with careful choice ofdishes and tins, it is possible to cook acomplete meal and perhaps somethingelse for the freezer in the oven at thesame time.When roasting meats, you may noticethat fat splashing is reduced, which is duein part to the lower oven temperatures,and will help keep cleaning of theoven to a minimum.Because a fan oven has an eventemperature throughout the oven, noshelf positions have been given in thefollowing baking guide, and there isno need to interchange dishes ontodifferent shelves part way throughcooking, as with a conventional oven.

19

USING THE MAIN OVEN

USING THE MAIN OVENTo help the air circulate freely• Position the shelves evenly within

the oven and maintain a clearancefrom the oven roof and base.

• If more than one cooking dish orbaking tray is to be used on a shelf,leave a gap of at least 25mmbetween the items themselves andthe oven interior.

• Allow enough space betweenshelves for food that will riseduring cooking.

• Do not place items on the ovenbase as this will prevent air fromcirculating freely.

Main oven baking guide

Cooking timesThese times are based on cooking in apreheated oven.The cooking times given are onlyapproximate because the size andtype of cooking dish will influencecooking time, a s w i l l p e r s o n a lpreference.

Cooking temperatures• The temperature settings and times

given in the baking guide arebased on dishes made with blockmargarine.

• If soft tub margarine is used it maybe necessary to reduce the tempera-ture setting.

• If a recipe gives a different temper-ature setting to that shown in theguide, the recipe instruction shouldbe followed.

MAIN OVEN CONVERSION GUIDE

Note: this is a high efficiency oven, therefore some adjustment will have to bemade to conventional cooking temperatures when using the fanned oven. Thetable below shows conventional cooking temperatures, fanned oven temperaturesand gas marks. For optimum results, conventional temperatures need to be con-verted to fanned temperatures.

For example, an item which would normally cook at a conventional temperatureof 180 ˚C, will now cook at the fanned temperature of 160˚C.

Cooling and defrosting in themain ovenTo cool foods after cooking prior torefrigerating or freezing, turn the ovencontrol to the defrost position, andopen the door.To defrost frozen foods, turn theoven control to the defrost position,place the food in the centre of the ovenand close the door.

Defrosting timesSmall or thin pieces of frozen fish ormeat - eg; fish fillets, prawns, and mincewill take approximately 1 - 2 hours.Placing the food in a single layer willreduce the thawing time.A medium sized casserole or stew willtake approximately 3 - 4 hours.A 11⁄2kg / 3lb oven ready chicken willtake approximately 5 hours, removethe giblets as soon as possible.Always check foods are thoroughlydefrosted before cooking.

Be safe• Do not defrost stuffed poultry using

this method.• Do not defrost larger joints of meat

and poultry over 2kg / 4lb usingthis method.

• Never place uncooked food fordefrosting next to cooked foodwhich is to be cooled, as this canlead to cross contamination.

• Defrosting meat, poultry and fishcan be accelerated using thismethod, but make sure they arecompletely thawed before cookingthoroughly.Place meat and poultry on a trivetin a meat tin, to catch the juicesfrom the defrosting process.

Slow cooking ( Setting)� Make sure that frozen foods are

thoroughly THAWED before cooking.� Do not slow cook joints of meat or

poultry weighing more than 21⁄4kg/ 41⁄2lb.

� Only use the fanned oven functionfor slow cooking.

� Preheat the oven to 170˚C andcook for 30 minutes, then adjustthe oven control to (slowcook setting) for the remainder ofthe cooking time.

� Slow cooking times will be about3 times as long as conventionalcooking times.

� Do not open the oven door unnec-essarily during slow cooking, asthis will result in heat loss at lowtemperatures.

� Always use dishes with tightlyfitting lids. To rectify badly fittinglids, place foil over the dishunderneath the lid.

USING THE MAIN OVEN

Roasting guideThe times given in the roasting guideare only approximate, because thesize and age of the bird will influencecooking times as will the shape of ajoint and the proportion of the bone.Frozen meat should be thoroughlythawed before cooking. For largejoints it is advisable to thaw overnight.Frozen poultry should be thoroughlythawed before cooking. The timerequired depends on the size of thebird - eg; a large turkey may take upto 48 hours to thaw.Use of a trivet with a roasting tin willreduce fat splashing and will help to keepthe oven interior clean. Alternatively,to help reduce fat splashing, potatoesor other vegetables can be roastedaround the meat / poultry.

Notes:• When cooking stuffed meat or

poultry calculate the cooking timefrom the total weight of the meatplus the stuffing.

• For joints cooked in foil or coveredroasters, and for lidded casseroles,add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) tothe calculated cooking time.

• Smaller joints weighing less than1.25kg (21⁄2lb) may require 5minutes per 450g (1lb) extracooking time.

• Position the oven shelf so that themeat or poultry is positioned in thecentre of the oven.

• It is recommended that the applianceis cleaned after open roasting.

USING THE OVENS

Traditional fruit cakesIt should be remembered that ovenscan vary over time, therefore cookingtimes can vary, making it difficult to beprecise when baking fruit cakes.It is necessary therefore, to test thecake before removal from the oven.Use a fine warmed skewer insertedinto the centre of the cake. If theskewer comes out clean, then the cakeis cooked.• Follow the temperatures recom-

mended in the recipe and thenadjust according to the conver-sion guide on page 14.

• Do not attempt to make Christmascakes larger than the oven can copewith, you should allow at least25mm (1 inch) space between theoven walls and the tin.

• To protect a very rich fruit cakeduring cooking, tie 2 layers ofbrown paper around the tin.

• We recommend that the cake tin isnot stood on layers of brownpaper, as this can hinder effectivecirculation of air.

• Do not use soft tub margarine forrich fruit cakes, unless specified inthe recipe.

• Always use the correct size andshape of tin for the recipe quantities.

Roast turkeyRoasting turkey perfectly can provedifficult, as you are cooking twodifferent types of meat - the delicatelight breast meat, which must not beallowed to dry out, and the darker legmeat, which takes longer to cook.The turkey must be roasted longenough for the legs to cook, sofrequent basting is necessary. Thebreast meat can be covered oncebrowned.• Turkey should be roasted at

180˚C (conventiona) 160˚C(fanned) for 20 minutes per 1lb,plus 20 minutes, unless packagingadvises otherwise.

• The turkey can be open roasted,breast side down, for half of thecook time, and then turned over forthe remainder of the cooking time.

• If the turkey is stuffed, add 5minutes per 1lb to cook time.

• If roasting turkey covered withfoil, add 5 minutes per 1lb tocook time.

To test if the turkey is cooked, push afine skewer into the thickest part of thethigh. If the juices run clear, the turkeyis cooked. If the juices are still pink,the turkey will need longer cooking.

Automatic cookingThe automatic cooking facility iscontrolled by the programmer (see‘Programmer / Clock’ section) andallows complete meals or individualdishes to be cooked while you are outof the house, to be ready for when youreturn. The ‘READY TIME’ should be setas close as possible to, or just after,your anticipated return, so food is notleft standing in a warm oven.

Do• Select foods which are as fresh as

possible, and as cold as possible -ie; preferably straight from therefrigerator.

• Choose foods which are suitablefor cooking from a cold start, assome dishes will be affected bybeing left uncooked, at roomtemperature, perhaps for severalhours - eg; a wet filling on apastry base.

• Make sure that meat and poultryare thoroughly thawed (but still coldfrom the refrigerator) before placingthem in the oven, and avoid usingrolled joints of meat, which can bemore susceptible to the growth offood poisoning organisms.

• Cover dishes with lids or foil to keepthe food moist, and protect frompossible contamination; the foodcan be uncovered towards the endof cooking to crisp and brown.

Do not• Warm food should never be

placed in the oven if there is adelay period.

• Stews prepared by frying themeat and vegetables first shouldbe cooked as soon as possible,or refrigerated prior to placing inthe oven.

• Some dishes are not suitable forcooking on automatic - eg; dishescontaining left over meat orpoultry, dishes containing eggs,cooked rice, or seafood.

• Do not put food items (intended forautomatic cooking) into a warmoven; allow the oven to cool beforesetting for automatic cooking.

• Do not over fill dishes containingliquids, as they might boil over.

• Never leave food in the oven tocool slowly after cooking; serveimmediately or refrigerate.

• Never use the automatic facility toreheat ‘cook chill’ foods, as theyshould go straight from therefrigerator into a preheated oven.

Important:Food is more susceptible to the growthof food poisoning organisms in warmconditions. If the weather is hot, eithertake care to ensure that food is not leftstanding in a warm oven, or avoidusing the automatic cooking facility.

Hints for automatic cooking• Food is placed in a cold oven so

you will need to add about 10 - 15minutes onto the cooking time toallow for the oven to reach theselected temperature.

• Wine or beer may ferment, andcream may curdle during the delayperiod, so it is best to add theseingredients just before serving.

• Potatoes should be parboiled orbrushed with oil to preventdiscolouration during the delayperiod.

• Meat can be brushed with oil toprevent it drying.

• Lemon juice can be added tocertain fruits and vegetables suchas apples, pears, turnips andparsnips to prevent discolourationduring the delay period.

Semi-automatic cooking

There are two types of semi automaticcooking available on this appliance.

The oven must be switched on,and in use to use either of thesefunctions successfully.

The Duration method allows you to setthe oven for a specific length of time.If a dish needed 2 hours to cook, thenit would be possible for you to set theoven to turn off 2 hours later. Thisallows you to be sure that your foodwill be cooked for a set length of timeand no longer.

The End Time method allows you toenter a specific time when you wouldlike the oven to switch off. If you wishto leave the oven unattended, then itoffers peace of mind that the oven willhave turned itself off at the set time.

However, once the program is set thenit cannot be adjusted. Extra time can-not be added, nor can the end time beextended.

To cancel the semi automatic pro-grams, press both the Plus and Minusbuttons together. This can be done atany time during the cooking process.Then if necessary, re program.

For the instructions on how to use bothof these functions, please see the fol-lowing page.

Fully automatic cookingThis function incorporates both a dura-tion and an end time and is meant to beused when you wish to delay the starttime.

We recommend that the first few timesthis function is used you are in thehouse, this will familiarise you with youroven and prevents food from being overcooked or under cooked.

Care must be taken when selectingfoods for this function, it is not recom-mended for certain food items whichmay spoil, or are sensitive to being left.
