Safety requirements for deep fat frying :  
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate  
heating area.  
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.  
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking  
period.  
4. Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This  
only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in  
greasy food.

5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the  
hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and  
spitting, if added too quickly.  
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.  
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.  
Mild steel, Ferro-magnetic or  
stainless with a magnetic  
sandwich base  
Choosing Your Utensils  
Ceramic Hob only  
All copper pans are excellent conductors of heat,and are hard wearing and  
strong, but need quite a lot of care. They can be very heavy and do not  
usually have completely flat bases. The interiors are usually lined with a  
different material such as tin.  
CAUTION: IF AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE SURFACE BECOMES  
VISIBLE, SWITCH THE COOKER OFF AT THE MAINS SUPPLY  
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil  
in contact with the hob surface as damage can occur.  
A stainless steel pan with a sandwich base of aluminium and stainless steel  
is an excellent conductor of heat and is suitable for use on ceramic and  
halogen hobs, providing they are used in accordance with the saucepans  
manufacturers’ recommendations.  
The following boiling plates are located beneath the decorative  
circular patterned cooking areas:-

1.8kW  
Stainless steel pans with a sandwich base of aluminium and copper are  
excellent conductors of heat. If using stainless steel saucepans with  
aluminium and copper sandwich bases on ceramic and halogen hobs, the  
use of these pans must be in accordance with the saucepan  
manufacturers’ recommendations. Extra care should be taken to ensure  
the base of the pan and the hob is cleaned, and the hob conditioned, after  
each and every use, when using this type of saucepan.  
Front right 1.2kW  
The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red) indicating  
which heating element is switched on. The cooking area returns to its  
original colour when the heating element is switched Off.  
Warning: Even though the cooking area has returned to its original  
colour it may still be hot.  
The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either direction.  
Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more  
slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting according to the  
size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid.  
Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the panel when cooking is  
finished and before serving food. It is inadvisable at any time to leave a  
heating element switched on without a pan in position as this wastes  
energy, and could make soil or rub-off from aluminium pans more  
difficult to remove. To protect elements against over-heating, safety cut-  
outs have been incorporated with each element. After several minutes  
with the control at setting 6 the safety cut-out switches the element Off  
and On continuously, thus preventing any adverse effects that may be  
caused by an excessive build-up of heat in the cooking area.  
If these recommendations are not followed, the result will be a build up of  
small copper deposits on the surface of your hob which, if not cleaned  
after each use, will result in permanent marking of your hob.  
Always lift the pan from the hob, do not drag or slide across the hob  
surface as damage may occur.

Turn off at the mains before cleaning. To reduce the amount of  
cleaning always ensure that the hob and cooking utensils are clean  
and dry before use. Regular use of cleaner conditioner is  
recommended for proper care and protection of the hob surface.  
Apply conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It contains a  
mild cleaning agent, so that subsequent applications may clean off soil  
and apply a protective film at the same time. For stubborn stains or  
heavy soiling use any of the following materials, and finish off with  
conditioner.  
Open the Oven door to grilling position, as  
shown.  
Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil.  
Grill Pan Handle  
1. Non-scratch scouring cream.  
2. Kitchen Cleanser.  
3. Special Powder Cleanser.  
Notes:  
1. Powder Cleanser – Mineral deposits that are present in hard water,  
and some foods, may causediscolourationsthat appear in the form  
of grey or brown stains. The stains sometimes appear to be in or  
under the glass surface. If there are some persistent stains after  
using any of the other recommended cleaning materials, powder  
cleanser may be applied, following the manufacturers instructions.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners or the powder cleanser on the painted  
metal framework.  
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate cleaning and  
storage.The handle can be either detachable from or fixed to the pan. For  
a fixed handle remove the screw and washers from the grill pan bracket,  
tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the bracket.  
Slide the handle towards the centre of the pan and let the handle locate  
over the bracket.  
Replace screw and washers and ensure that they are fully tightened up.  
For a detachable handle remove screw and washers from grill pan and  
discard.  
2. Cleaner Conditioner – Regular use of the conditioner will make the  
surface easier to clean thus ensuring that years of heavy abrasive  
cleaning do not progressively dull the surface.  
Cleaning materials to avoid:-  
Warning: Ensure when using grill pan handle in the detachable  
manner it is centralised and secure.  
1. Plastic or nylon pads.  
2. Household abrasive powders and scourers, these may scratch the  
surface.  
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads. Caustic cleaners  
such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame.  
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.  
Preheat the grill at setting 6 for approximately 5  
minutes. The grill pan is placed on the grill runner  
and should be correctly positioned under the grill  
element. Leave the control at setting 6 for toast,  
sealing and 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 setting 6. The thicker the food the lower  
the control should be set.  
SETTING THE GRILL  
Important notes  
1. If the hob is scratched through accident or misuse, soil that collects  
will appear as fine brown lines; these are not fully removable but  
can be made less obvious by the daily use of cleaner conditioner.  
Cooking performance is in no way affected by scratches on the  
surface.  
ALWAYS have the door open when grilling.  
If closed a thermal device will operate.  
Allow cooker to cool and try again  
Note:  
2. Pans with aluminium bases should be lifted rather than dragged  
across the hob surface. This will avoid metal rubbing off the pan  
onto the glass. Such marks are easily removed by the powder  
cleanser provided they are not subsequently baked on for long  
periods at high temperatures.  
In the unlikely event of the ceramic hob surface cracking, isolate the  
cooker by switching it off at the main switch, and contact the nearest  
service depot, see separate service leaflet. Do not continue to use the  
cooker until it is repaired.  
Remember to switch off the control at the end of  
cooking.  
Note:  
Guide to grilling successfully:  
1. Preheat the grill for approximately 5 minutes.  
2. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned  
centrally under the grill element.

ensure that any stubborn, burnt on spillage’s are removed. Wipe over  
with a damp clean cloth, making sure that all the cleaner has been  
removed. Finally, turn on hotplate to warm for a few minutes, then smear  
with a little cooking oil to provide a protective coating, or a restorative  
agent such as Collo-Electrol®, Four Hob etc. The bezels will mellow with  
use to a burnished gold colour, a soap filled Brillo pad will help to keep

Care and Cleaning  
TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH BEFORE CLEANING. BEFORE SWITCHING ON  
AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.  
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER, HARSH ABRASIVES,  
SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS  
OF ANY KIND, unless specified below.  
Oven  
With the oven door closed, heating of the  
oven is achieved by turning the control  
clockwise to the required ‘oven temperature’  
scale on the control panel, as recommended  
in the temperature charts. The pilot light will  
immediately come on and go off during  
cooking as the thermostat maintains the  
correct temperature.

characteristics of an oven with a good door  
seal.  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the  
‘Credaclean’ panels in water. If desirable remove the rod  
shelves and the side panels and wash them in warm  
soapy water, followed by rinsing in clean water.  
Remember to switch off the oven control  
after cooking is finished.  
The surface of the ‘Credaclean’ oven liners are treated on  
the mottled face 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.If higher cooking temperatures are not used  
regularly it may be necessary, to prevent heavy soiling, to  
turn the oven control at maximum setting for a couple of  
hours.

Oven Cookery Notes  
The oven temperature 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.  
To prepare meat for roasting in your electric oven.  
Wipe the joint,dry well with a clean cloth,kitchen tissue,etc.,and weigh  
it. Meat which has been stored in a refrigerator, should be allowed to  
come to room temperature for approximately 30 minutes before  
cooking. Always completely thaw frozen meat before cooking. Beef,  
lamb and mutton may be lightly floured, but pork should have the rind  
scored, brushed over lightly with olive oil, and sprinkled with salt – for  
crisp crackling.  
Grill  
Remove the grill pan and the wire grid food support, it is best  
to wash these items immediately after use to prevent stains  
from being burnt on when used again. Wipe out the grill  
compartment, use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove  
stubborn stains from the rod shelf and the floor of the  
compartment.  
Control panelWipe with a damp cloth and polish with a dry cloth.  
Place joint in meat pan (small joints weighing less than 1.5kg (3lbs)  
should be roasted in a smaller pan/meat tin, or they may be ‘pot  
roasted’ – a small joint in a large meat pan causes unnecessary oven  
splashing). Additional fat should not be used, except for veal, very lean  
meat, poultry, which can either be ‘larded’ with bacon fat or brushed  
over very sparingly with melted fat/cooking oil. When potatoes are  
roasted round the joint, they only require to be coated in melted  
fat/cooking oil. It is not necessary to baste, when roasting in an electric  
oven, and liquid/stock should not be added to the meat pan.  
Wipe over the grill door glass panel with a cloth wrung out in  
hot soapy water, then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in  
clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Ensure that glass door  
panels are not subjected to any sharp mechanical blows.  
Glass Inner Door Panel (where fitted) – open the door fully  
and unscrew the two screws securing the glass panel, taking  
care not to allow the glass to fall.The glass panel may now be  
washed at the sink.Stubborn stains can be removed by using  
a fine steel wool soap pad.  
Doors  
Temperature and Time  
Take particular care not to damage the inner surface which is  
coated with a heat reflective layer.After cleaning, rinse and dry  
with a softcloth. For slight soiling the inner glass panel may be  
cleaned, while still warm, without removing it from the door.  
Warning: Oven must not be operated with inner door glass  
removed.  
The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast quickly at too high a  
temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried out at low  
temperatures.When a lower temperature is used, joint loses less weight, is  
more tender (too high a temperature causes meat to be tough and dry),  
and the splashing of fat onto oven interior is reduced. When a complete  
meal is being cooked in the oven, cooking time may need to be increased,  
and temperature may need to be raised for approximately the last 30  
minutes of the cooking period (for instance when cooking Yorkshire  
pudding to serve with roast beef). Never use meat pans larger than 390 x  
300mm (15”x12”) and baking trays no larger than 330x255mm (13”x10”),  
these should be positioned centrally on the oven shelf.Food should not be  
placed directly on the floor of the oven.To avoid unnecessary cleaning, rod  
shelves which are not in use, should be removed from the oven.  
The times and temperature suggested should be used as a guide but may  
vary according to:–  
Remove the rod shelves.  
Main Oven  
Use a fine steel wool soap pad to remove stubborn stains from  
the rod shelves and the floor of the oven. Take care during  
cleaning not to damage or distort the door seals, if necessary  
remove the seal by carefully unhooking the corner clips.  
1. Whether you prefer meat rare, medium or well done.  
2. The size and shape of your joint.  
a) A short thick joint requires a longer cooking period than a long  
thin joint.  
b) A small joint under 1.5kg (3lbs) takes longer per 450g (1lb) than a  
large one, whereas a large joint over 3kg (6lbs) will cook in the  
time given for ‘minutes’ per 450g (1lb) without the ‘minutes  
over  
added.  
c) Boned/rolled and stuffed joints take longer to cook through than  
those with a bone. (The weight of stuffing should be added to the  
oven ready weight meat/poultry to calculate roasting times.)
