this will cease after a period of use

To help remove the ‘new’ smell, heat up the empty ovens to maximum temperature for a
minimum of two or three hours, keeping the oven doors closed. 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.

IMPORTANT
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
Rotate the control knob in either direction to the required function. Many of the
functions will also require the main oven thermostat to be set before the oven will heat
up.

MAIN OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL
This is used in addition to the multifuction selector. This is used for the functions: fan
oven, fan grill, half grill and full grill and convection oven.
Turn the control clockwise to set the oven thermostat to the required temperature.
If the timer is set correctly and the selector switch set to a suitable function an indicator
light will illuminate (Fan Oven, Convection Oven and Fan Grilling modes only). 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.

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.

GRILL CONTROL
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 set the oven control back to ‘O’ (Off ).

COOLING FAN
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.

Multifunction Selector Switch
The Multifunction selector switch is
used when operating the main oven.
With the exception of the O position
the main oven light will remain on
when this selector switch is used.
Off

Oven Timer Operation
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the
ovens can be used.
Automatic Cooking The Main Oven (only) can be controlled by the automatic timer.
NEVER operate the grill or top oven when the main oven is set
to cook automatically because the oven cavity can become
warm and this may cause bacterial growth in food.
Hints on
Automatic
Cooking

1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and
temperature.
2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end
time so the food is ready when you require it.
3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the
oven.
4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as
cool as possible.
5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for auto
cooking, keep the delay start time to a minimum.
6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it
could cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the
food.
7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a
delay period.
8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent
bacterial growth in food.
9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay
period so it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
10. 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.
11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling
over.
12. 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.
13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before
serving.
14. Only reheat food once.

DO NOT PLACE FOOD/UTENSILS DIRECTLY ON THE OVEN FLOOR

NOTE:

Preheat the grill if indicated on grill chart.
The grill pan must be placed on the correct shelf and positioned centrally under the grill
element.
Leave the control at 6 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 6. The thicker the food, the lower the control should be set.
DO NOT line the grill pan with aluminium foil, as this increases the amount of fat spitting
which can cause a fire.
After use always return both controls to their OFF (0) position.

Using the Top Oven for Solarplus Grilling
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. Creda have developed a Solarplus
high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it
takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat
before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be
used directly from cold without any pre-heat.
However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for
about 1 minute.
Note: You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops
you from touching live parts.
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could
damage the element wire, break the glass tubes or if the grill is on, cause electric
shock.

During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill is
still on. Turn off at the control and allow to cool before cleaning. Care must be taken
to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted – do not store the grill pan handle on the food
grid when the shelf is in the highest position.

Guide to Solarplus Grilling

Using the Top Oven as a Convection 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.
Note: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be
necessary to increase or decrease temperatures by 10oC. It may also be necessary to increase
or decrease cooking times.

DO NOT PLACE FOOD/UTENSILS DIRECTLY ON THE OVEN FLOOR

There should always be at least 25mm (1 inch) between the top of the food and
the grill element.
WARNING: Items stored in the top oven will get hot when the main oven is in use.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the top oven is in use as the
surfaces get extremely hot.

Step 1 Ensure that the timer is set to manual.
Step 2 Place the shelf in the correct position (see Oven Temperature Charts).
Step 3 Select the required cooking temperature (100–220˚C) 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 and grill selection control (B) to 100˚C for 10-15 minutes.
Never use the grill setting control (A) when warming plates.

Top Oven Utensils
Do Not use: Meat Pans and Baking Trays larger than – 225mm x 300mm (9”x12”)
DO NOT use the grill pan or main oven meat pan as a meat pan in the top oven, as
the air circulation will be seriously restricted.

Oven Temperature Charts – Meat

Main Oven - Fan Grilling
Fan grilling is a combination of heat from the grill element and the oven fan circulating the hot
air around the food.
Joints of meat and poultry will be browned as if they were cooked on a rotisserie or spit but more
economically as the door left closed.
If required, fan grilling can be timed using the Oven Auto timer.
Follow the timer instructions before selecting fan grill and the required temperature.
If Manual fan grilling is required always ensure the timer is set to Manual.
Do not use the oven without the removable oven roof in position with its front flange facing downwards.
Operating Instruction
1. Open the oven door.
2. Select the correct shelf position, as stated in chart.
3. Turn the selector switch to the Fan grill position.
4. Turn the oven thermostat control to the required temperature (see Fan Grilling Roasting
Chart).
5. Position the meat pan centrally under the grill elements.
6. Close the oven door.
7. After use always return both controls to the off position.
8. If the oven timer was used, reset to Manual.
As with the fan oven cooking there is no need to pre-heat the oven – yet another economy feature. Also you can cook more than one thing at a time – even up to 4 small chickens.
Temperatures
These will be similar to those used for the more traditional form of roasting but the guide will give
you an indication of which temperature to set the Thermostat. But remember that because of the
way the oven is heated this is a more economical way of roasting.

General Recommendations
Most types of meat and poultry cooked by this method will have an all over brownness and crispness on the outside. The only exceptions are very lean joints, such as veal, which, because of its
low fat content, is better cooked using conventional heating.
1. Always place the pan on the shelf position recommended. (See Chart).
2. There is no need to preheat the oven before cooking and all fan grilling should be carried out
with the oven door closed, this saves energy.
The cooking temperatures and times are calculated from a cold oven.
3. After rinsing and drying meat, place on the food roasting support rack over the pan supplied.
4. Position meat in oven as recommended in the roasting chart.
5. Fan grilling is ideally suited for cooking all types of poultry and larger joints of meat (e.g.
stuffed, rolled joints and legs of pork and lamb). Results will be as if you had cooked the food
on a rotisserie. If you use frozen meat or poultry it must be completely defrosted before it is
cooked.
6. When cooking a joint always grill it with the fat side uppermost in order to crisp it. For bigger
joints or where there is little bone, grill at the lower temperature given in the table and cook
for a longer time per kg.
7. When cooking any type of poultry, start grilling the underside uppermost and turn breast
uppermost about a third to halfway through the cooking period. If cooking stuffed poultry
allow slightly longer cooking time.

FAN ONLY SETTING
DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a refrigerator
(allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per lb.).
Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.
However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non-heating
fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.

OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:
Place food in the oven and close the oven door.
Turn the Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to the

Fan
Only

setting.

This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on type
and size of the food.

NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.
Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are cream/cream cakes,
butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches, pastries, biscuits,
bread, croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.
If fish, meat and poultry are to be defrosted using the fan only setting, where possible it
is recommended that the food should be small & thin.
The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to
the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even defrosting.
Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up to a
maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).
It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately after
defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after defrosting.

It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene
to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

Main 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, 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 pre-heating. 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 330 x 255mm (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 which are not in use should be removed
from the oven.

Main Oven - Fan Oven Cookery Notes
Temperature and Time
The oven is provided with two shelves. A third is available as an optional extra, contact
Genuine Parts & 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 which has for 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 main 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 aluminium 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.

Main Oven Temperature Chart
Note: Where times are stated, they are approximate only.

‘S’ Slow Cook Setting
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short
periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged
in a hot oven.
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven
lining and the plates which are being warmed.

ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE:
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.

OPERATION:
1.
2.

Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.
Select Slow Cooking Temperature ‘S’ by turning Main Oven Temperature &
Function Control (C) clockwise.

STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:
1.
2.
3.
4.

If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container
and cool as soon as possible.
Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.
Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.
Only re-heat food once.

POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING
1.

Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough room for
air to circulate.
2. All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours, however, it
they are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their appearance may be
noticed.
3. Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking on the
slow setting.
4. To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170oC for 30 minutes before
wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air circulation) before
turning the control to the slow setting and cooking immediately.
5. Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking with
a meat thermometer before serving.
6. Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend placing
frozen food in the oven to cook.
7. Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.
8. Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the top with
foil to prevent loss of moisture.
9. Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook properly.
10. Always adjust seasoning before serving.
11. If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and then
boiled for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any toxins.
12. When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to avoid
overcooking.

Main Oven Grilling
DO NOT allow young children near the appliance when the grill is in use as the surfaces
can get extremely hot.
GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE DOOR CLOSED.
- Do Not line the grill pan with aluminium foil.
- Ensure that the grill pan is cleaned after every use. Excess fat build-up in the bottom of
the pan could cause a fire hazard.
- Preheat the grill on the required setting for 5 minutes

Grilling Procedure:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Open the oven door and position the rod shelf as recommended in the grilling chart (see
below) for the food being cooked.
Turn the multifunction selector switch to Half Grill or Full Grill and then turn the Main
Oven temperature control to the required setting to pre-heat for approximately 5
minutes.
Position the grill pan centrally under the grill element and push back as far as the
location stops on the rod shelf.
Leave the oven thermostat at setting 230˚C for toast and for fast cooking of foods. For
thicker foods requiring longer cooking turn the thermostat to a lower setting, after initial
sealing on both sides at 230˚C. The thicker the food, the lower the thermostat should be
set.
If excessive smoke is emitted, reduce the setting.
After use always return both controls to their OFF (O) position.

Care and Cleaning
Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off
and the appliance is fully cold.

1. “CREDACLEAN” OVEN LINERS (Top Oven sides, Main Oven sides and rear panel )
(a) How "Credaclean" works.
TOP OVEN SIDES

The surfaces of the "Credaclean" oven liners are treated with a
special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils.
At temperatures of 220°C (425°F) or above, the special surface
enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.
The higher the temperature the more effective it is.
(b) Cleaning.

MAIN OVEN SIDES
AND REAR PANEL

In most cases normal cooking operations at 220°C (425°F) will
permit this cleaning operation to proceed during cooking.
However if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly,
it may be necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run
the ovens without shelves or meat pan, at a maximum setting
for a couple of hours.
It should not normally be necessary to clean the "Credaclean"
panels with water. If the user feels it is desirable to do so, wipe
them over with a clean, soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a
clean damp cloth.
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage the
‘Credaclean’ oven liners.

Care and Cleaning
2. CLEANING GRILL, TOP OVEN AND MAIN OVEN
(a) Base & Rear of Top Oven and Base of Main Oven.
Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For more
stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a well
soaped fine steel wool soap pad.

after use in warm soapy water.
Use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad to remove
stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill pan, meat
pan and the base of the oven.
DO NOT use aerosol cleaners on this oven as they could
adversely affect the fan motor unit, and cannot be wiped off
the fan blade.

(c) Removable Grill Roof Panel.
Pull grill roof panel out slowly, being careful not to
damage the elements. Clean using a damp soapy cloth,
if stubborn stains remain gently clean with a well soaped
fine steel wool soap pad and soapy water, and then wipe
over with a damp cloth.
(d) Solarplus Grill.
To clean the Solarplus grill, use a clean, damp, soapy
cloth and wipe over. If stubborn stains remain, gently
clean with a well soaped nylon scouring pad and wipe
over with a damp cloth.
DO NOT use metal cleaning utensils, wire wool or
proprietary oven cleaners on the grill element mesh.

DOORS

(b) Trims
It is advisable to clean the trims regularly to prevent any
build up of soiling which may detract from the appearance of
the cooker. The recommended method of cleaning is to wipe
over the trims with a clean, soft cloth wrung out in warm
water, or mild non abrasive cleaner.
(If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is
not noticeable in normal use), then after wiping with a cloth
wrung out in clear water, dry with a clean, soft cloth.
(c) Inner Door Panels & Glass
Open the door fully. The glass panel may now be washed.
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a well soaped, fine
steel wool soap pad.
(d) Stainless Trims (S150EX only)
Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a
clean dry cloth.

TRIMS

DO NOT use scouring pads, or abrasive powder, which will
scratch the glass.

Installation
Electrical Requirements
For your own safety, we recommend that your cooker is installed by a competent
person such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for
Electrical Installation Contracting). The cooker should be installed in accordance with
the latest edition of the IEE Regulations.
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

Electrical Connections
The installer must check that the voltage shown at the rating plate corresponds with
the house electricity supply.
The cooker must be supplied via a suitable double pole isolating switch, having a
contact separation of at least 3mm in all poles placed in a readily accessible position
adjacent to the cooker.
If the cooker is to be wired into a connector unit, this may be positioned behind the
cooker providing the following requirements are met:
i) The connector unit must not project from the wall more than 25mm.
ii) The top of the connector must not be more than 130mm above floor level.
Remove the terminal cover at the rear base of the cooker. Pass the cable through the
cable clamp and connect to the appropriate terminals provided.
Allow sufficient cable for any future servicing.
Tighten the screws on the cable clamp and replace the cover.
Make main connections in the connector unit or cooker control unit.
This appliance conforms to B.S. EN 55014 regarding suppression of Radio and
Television reception interference.
A double Pole control switch having a minimum rating of 32 amps should be used to
feed the cooker using a suitably rated cable.
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or over the cooker, a 45 amp Double Pole control
switch should be used to feed both units via separate suitably rated cables.
We recommend a minimum of 4mm2 PVC insulated twin and earth cable conforming to
B.S. 6004 for connection of each appliance.
In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 4).
This appliance must not be installed over any other appliance that generates heat
such as a plinth heater

Note: Due to many different types of installation, a mains cable is not
supplied with this product. The installer will fit the correct type and length of
cable.

Installation
Important
It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated i.e.
having side, back, and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which could
permit access to the oven unit when installed.

1. General
The appliance is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing which
must be secured to the backing wall.

2. Ventilation
a. The oven housing unit cabinet dimensions must comply with fig. 4.
b. An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or bottom
cupboards or shelves (see fig. 1).
c. It is necessary that the cabinets are provided with unobstructed ventilation, i.e.
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 in fig. 1.
d. The air gap at rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the inner cabinet space.
Where it is intended to fit cupboards above the oven unit to ceiling height, it is
essential that the warmed air is exhausted through the front of the cabinet
(see fig. 1).
e. If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from the oven
when the door is opened could condense on and maybe stain the adjacent
surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface should be made of a
material that is heat resisting and easy to clean. Adjacent tall cabinets should not
be deeper than the oven housing cabinet.

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 spacers under the bottom of the cabinet.
Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.
c. Before the oven is fitted, the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing wall for
stability.
d. The oven unit should now be lifted (this is a two person lift) into the cabinet and
pushed fully home.
e. Finally, the oven is secured to the cabinet by means of the four Pozi Wash Head
screws - two through each side trim.
f. Remove all packaging material from the grill and oven interior.

Before calling a Service Engineer, please check through the following lists.THERE MAY BE NOTHING WRONG.
If having been through the list there is still a problem, contact Service (see Key Contacts, back page).

Problem

Check

Slight odour or small amount of smoke This is normal and should cease after a short period.
when grill / oven used first time.
Nothing works.

If you find that the timer display is blank, then it is likely that
there is no electricity supply to your oven. Check:
(i) That the main cooker wall is switched on
(ii) Other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut
(iii) The main circuit breaker for the property

Timer display shows 0.00 with AUTO
flashing.

The power supply to your oven has possibly been interrupted, but
has now come back on again. Reset the timer to the correct time of
day and “Manual” operation using instructions given in the timer
section of the book.

Main Oven and and Top Oven do not
work, but the Grill works.

Your timer may be set for an Auto Cooking programme:
Check the timer to see whether "Auto" is lit or flashing. If it is then
please follow the instructions given in the Timer section of this book
to return the timer to Manual operation.

Top Oven and Grill do not work, but
the Main Oven works.

Operating the cooker under the following conditions may cause a
safety device to operate:
(a) Grilling with the door closed - Always grill with the door fully open
(b) Grilling for an excessively long period at maximum setting - see
Grilling guide.
Switch off appliance and allow to cool for approx 30 mins. Switch the
cooker back on and check that the Grill / Top oven is now operating.
Ensure that the Top Oven control is in the OFF (O) position.

Grill does not work.
Grill keeps turning on and off.

When the Grill control is operating at less than its maximum setting,
the Grill will cycle on and off, this is normal and not a fault.

Draught from beneath control panel.

A gentle flow of air will be blown from beneath the control panel when
the appliance is used. If the appliance is still warm, this cooling fan may
run on, or restart itself after all of the controls have been turned off.
The fan will stop once the appliance has been cooled. This is normal
and not a fault.

Timer buzzer/audible tone operates
continually
Grilling is uneven
Oven does not cook evenly

To cancel the audible tone, press the minute minder button.
Ensure that Grill pan has been positioned as stated in the Grilling
section of this book.
Check:
(a) Temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the Oven
Temperature Charts.

(b) Oven utensils being used allow sufficient air flow around them.
Oven temperatures too high or low

Oven lamp does not work

Check temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the
Oven Temperature Charts.
It may be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended
temperature slightly to suit your taste.
The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee.
The part is easily changed (see section on oven lamp replacement).
A new lamp may be obtained from our Parts department (see Key
Contacts, back page).

Condensation on the wall at the rear
of the cooker.

Steam and / or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear of
the appliance when using an oven particularly for foods with a high
water content e.g. frozen chips, roast chicken etc. This is normal, and
any excess should be wiped off.

Steam / Condensation in the oven
after use.

Steam is a by - product of cooking any food with a high water contact.
To help minimise always:
a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being cooked.
b) Use a covered container, wherever possible.
