    This main oven function enables you to defrost most 
    foods without heat faster than some conventional 
    methods as the oven fan circulates air around the 
    food.  It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen 
    foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled 
    gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings, 
    cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc. 
    USING FAN CONTROLLED DEFROSTING 
    • Turn the main oven temperature control to the 
    fan controlled defrost setting. 
    THINGS TO NOTE 
    • The oven fan and internal oven light will operate. 
    • The cooling fan does not operate. 
           
    HINTS AND TIPS 
    • Place the frozen food in a single layer where 
    possible and turn it over half way through the 
    defrosting process. 
    • The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by 
    room temperature.  On warm days defrosting will 
    be faster than on cooler days. 
    • It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry 
    slowly in the fridge.  However, this process can 
    be accelerated by using the defrost function.  
    Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, 
    cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks 
    etc., can be thawed in 1 – 2 hours.  
    • A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in 
    approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as 
    soon as possible during the thawing process. 
    • Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be 
    thawed using the defrost function. 
    • All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed 
    thoroughly before cooking. 
    • Always cook thoroughly immediately after 
    thawing. 
    • Do not leave food at room temperature once it is 
    defrosted.  Cook raw food immediately or store 
    cooked food in the fridge, once it has cooled. 
    • Care must always be taken when handling foods 
    in the home.  Always follow the basic rules of 
    food hygiene to prevent bacterial growth and 
    cross contamination when defrosting, preparing, 
    cooking, cooling and freezing foods. 
      
    FAN CONTROLLED DEFROSTING

      Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan 
    to cool the appliance down before switching 
    off at the electricity supply. 
     
     
    CLEANING MATERIALS 
    Before using any cleaning materials on your 
    appliance, 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 
    and scourers should also be avoided as damage will 
    occur. 
     
     
    CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE 
    APPLIANCE
     
    Do not use abrasive cleaning materials e.g. Hob 
    Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed 
    finishes as damage may occur. 
    Regularly wipe over the control panel, doors and 
    handles using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. To 
    prevent streaking finish with a soft cloth. 
    Stainless Steel cream cleaners are abrasive and 
    should be avoided as they may dull the surface 
    finish.  Any spillage on the stainless steel finish 
    must be wiped off immediately. 
     
     
     
    Do not attempt to remove any of the control 
    knobs from the panel as this may cause 
    damage and is a safety hazard. 
     
     
    REMOVING AND REPLACING THE 
    WIREWORK RUNNERS 
     
    1.  Remove all shelves and furniture from the oven.   
    2.  Hold the wirework at the bottom, unclip from the 
    cavity side and gently pull towards the centre of 
    the oven.   
    3.  Unhook the runner at the top and remove from 
    the cavity. 
    4.  To replace the runners, hook the wirework side 
    runner into the cavity, slide back and press into 
    place. 
     
       Ensure the wirework runners are firmly in 
    position before replacing the oven 
    shelves. 
      
    CARE AND CLEANING

    CENTRE 
    SIDE PANEL 
    						
    							23  CLEANING INSIDE THE OVENS 
    The sides and back of the grill/second oven and main 
    oven compartments are coated with a special 
    Stayclean coating.  They should not be cleaned 
    manually. 
     
    The vitreous enamel main oven base and grill 
    compartment base can be cleaned using normal 
    oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the 
    manufacturers instructions are followed and that all 
    parts are well rinsed afterwards. 
     
       
    Aerosol cleaners must not come into 
    contact with elements or the door seal as 
    this may cause damage. 
     
     
     
      HINTS AND TIPS  
     
     
      
    Aerosol cleaners must not be used on 
    Stayclean surfaces. 
     
     
    Stayclean surfaces destroy splashes of food and fats 
    when the oven temperature is raised to around 220°C.   
    It is a good idea to run the oven for an hour or two per 
    week to ensure continued good performance from the 
    Stayclean finish. 
    Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean 
    surfaces may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect 
    the Stayclean properties in any way. 
    Use minimal, if any, extra oil or fat when roasting 
    meat, potatoes only require brushing with fat before 
    cooking. Extra fat in the oven during roasting will 
    increase splashing and soilage. 
    It is NOT necessary to add water to a meat tin when 
    roasting.  The water and the fat juices from the joint 
    create excessive splattering during cooking – even at 
    normal temperatures, as well as causing 
    condensation. 
    Covering joints during cooking will also prevent 
    splashing onto the interior surfaces.  Removing the 
    covering for the last 20-30 minutes will allow extra 
    browning if required.  Some large joints and turkeys 
    especially benefit by this method of cooking, allowing 
    the joint to cook through before the outside is over-
    browned. 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
      
    						
    							 
    24  CLEANING THE DOOR(S) 
     
      To prevent damaging or weakening the 
    door glass panels avoid the use of the 
    following: 
    • Household detergents 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 
     
     
    The outer oven door glass panels are removable for 
    cleaning. 
     
     
    TO REMOVE THE OUTER DOOR GLASS 
    1.  Open the oven door slightly to gain access to the 
    two cross head screws on the top of the oven 
    door. 
    2. Loosen the two screws using a Pozidrive 
    screwdriver. 
    3.  Holding the door glass securely in place with one 
    hand remove the screws and washers with the 
    other hand. 
    The screws and washers retain the trim on the top 
    of the grill door.  Note the position of the trim on 
    the door. 
    4.  Holding the door and glass with one hand, gently 
    pull towards you and slightly lift the door glass 
    with the other hand to disengage the panel from 
    the location point at the bottom of the door.  
    Gently release the door to close it. 
    5.  Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy 
    water or Hob Brite.  Should the inner face of the 
    outer door glass be heavily soiled it is 
    recommended that soapy water with a high 
    concentration of soap is used. To prevent 
    streaking a glass cleaning spray may be applied 
    and the glass polished with a soft cloth.  Ensure 
    that all parts are thoroughly dry before attempting 
    to replace the outer door glass.  
     
    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.  
    Please contact your local Service Force 
    Centre who will be pleased to advise 
    further. 
     
      
    						
    							25  TO REPLACE THE OUTER DOOR GLASS 
    1.  Holding the oven glass with both hands, gently 
    place the locators into the holes of the brackets 
    at the bottom of the oven door. 
    2.  Holding the door glass with your left hand, use 
    your right hand to open the oven door. 
    Bring the door gently towards the glass panel 
    ensuring the screw location holes line up. 
    3.  Place the trim in the correct position on the top of 
    the grill door. 
    4.  Hold the glass in place with one hand and insert 
    the cross head screws with washers into the 
    location holes with the other hand.  Give the 
    screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure. 
    5.  Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive 
    screwdriver before closing the oven door. 
     
     
     
    Do not attempt to use the oven without the 
    glass being in place. 
     
     
     
    TO  CLEAN  THE  INNER  GLASS  DOOR 
    The inner glass door is not removable.  Clean using 
    hot soapy water or Hob Brite and a soft cloth.  Do 
    not use abrasives as they may damage the glass or 
    seal. 
     
     
    CLEANING  THE  SHELVES,  WIRE-WORK 
    RUNNERS AND GRILL/OVEN FURNITURE 
    All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can 
    be washed in the dishwasher. 
    The grill pan, grill pan grid, oven shelves and 
    wirework runners may be cleaned using a soap 
    impregnated steel wool pad.  Soaking first in hot 
    soapy water will make cleaning easier. 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
      
    						
    							 
    26  REPLACING AN OVEN LIGHT BULB 
     
     
     
    Disconnect the appliance from the 
    electricity supply before replacing the bulb. 
     
     
     
    The type of bulb required is a 300°C, 25 watt small 
    Edison Screw.  
     
    1. Make sure the appliance is cool before you 
    replace a bulb. 
    2. Open the door and remove the shelves and 
    wirework runners.  
    3. Pull the glass bulb cover towards you and then 
    pull it off. If necessary use a screwdriver to 
    carefully lever off the cover, taking care not to 
    damage the oven cavity. 
    4.  Unscrew the bulb by turning it to the left. 
    5. Fit a new bulb and then replace the glass bulb 
    cover. 
    6.  Refit the wirework runners and replace the oven 
    shelves. 
    7.  Restore the electricity supply and reset the time of 
    day.
