21 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
22 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 CAVITY 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.
