IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Save these instructions for future reference. Have your appliance properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70—latest edition, and local code requirements. Install only as described in the installation section of this book. Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency. The anti-tip device supplied with this range must be correctly fitted when the appliance is installed. This will reduce risk of tipping of the appliance from abnormal usage or by excessive loading of the oven door. WARNING • ALL RANGES CAN TIP • INJURY TO PERSONS COULD RESULT • INSTALL ANTI-TIP BRACKET PACKED WITH RANGE • SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS To avoid personal injury, do not sit, stand or lean on oven or broiler doors or drawer. Leaning, sitting or stepping on the doors or drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the range. Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on any part of the range. To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the rise can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (13cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets. In Case of Fire Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a fl aming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If available use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. If fire is in the oven or broiler pan, smother by closing oven door. Open doors and windows or if a hood is fitted turn it on to remove smoke and odor. To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage Before using the range make sure all the packing materials have been removed. Always keep the area around the range free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. If the range is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over the cooktop. NEVER leave any items on the range cooktop. The hot air from the oven or broiler vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst. Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance. Many plastics will burn and most are damaged by heat. Keep plastic items away from parts of 5 Read all instructions before using this appliance. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Save these instructions for future reference. the range that may become warm or hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may burn, melt or soften. Storage should not be fitted directly above a range. If anything is stored above the range, it should be limited to infrequently used items that can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat from a range. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with packaging material. For safety considerations never use your range for warming or heating the room. User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this User Manual. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician, this may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range. Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the product. Do Not Leave Children Alone Babies, toddlers and young children should not be allowed near the range at any time. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury. Teach them not to play with controls or any other part of the range. Never store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on backguard of a range; children climbing on the range to reach them could be seriously injured. Do not use the oven for storage. This instruction is based on safety considerations Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, the broiler chamber, the range storage drawer or near the cooktop. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage. To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, make sure your range has been properly grounded and always disconnect it from main power supply before servicing. Do not touch the cooktop elements or areas near the elements The cooktop may be hot even if the elements have been off for some time. Areas near the cooktop elements may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing touch or other flammable materials contact the cooktop or areas near the elements until they have had enough time to cool. These areas include the rangetop and backguard. 6 Read all instructions before using this appliance. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Save these instructions for future reference. DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVENS Oven and Broiler heating elements may be hot though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven or broiler may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had enough time to cool. Other range surfaces that may become hot enough to cause burns are the oven door and oven vent at the base of the range splashback. Wear Suitable Clothing Never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while using the range. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with the cooktop or hot surface and may cause severe burns. Use Only Dry Potholders or Oven Gloves Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Never let a potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove. They might catch fire if they touch a hot surface. Use dry oven gloves when applicable - using damp gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface. Never operate the range with wet hands. Important Safety Notice and Warning The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances. This appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the use of the range can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide primarily during the initial heating of the new range. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly venting the range to the outdoors. To reduce the risk from substances make sure this appliance is installed, operated, and maintained according to the instructions in this booklet. Important: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be harmful. Important - Save the installation instructions for the local electrical inspector’s use. Proper Installation Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Electric cooktop Do not cook on broken cooktop - if cooktop should break cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and cause a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediatly. If you find a crack in the cooktop surface immediately disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and arrange for its repair. 7 Read all instructions before using this appliance. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Save these instructions for future reference. Use the Right Size Pan This range is equipped with cooktop elements of different sizes. Use cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating element (marked with a ring on the cooktop). The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Using the proper size cookware will also improve efficiency. Do not use unstable pans. Never Leave a pan unattended at high settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and greasy spills may catch on fire. Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop. Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top use without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Utensil handles should be turned inward and not over adjacent elements. If handles are left over adjacent elements they will get hot and may burn. Ovens Use Care When Opening Door Let hot air and steam escape before removing or replacing food. Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up may make container burst and cause injury. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Placement of Oven Racks Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let a potholder contact hot heating elements in oven. Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Foil liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire and will damage the enamel finish. Never allow aluminum foil to contact the heating elements. CAUTION Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range - children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured. User Servicing Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. WARNING THIS APPLIANCE IS PROVIDED WITH ROLLERS TO FACILITATE MOVEMENT DURING INSTALLATION. THE RANGE SHOULD NOT BE MOVED AFTER INSTALLATION. Cleaning Clean cooktop with caution – if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area be careful to avoid steam burn – some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. 8 Read all instructions before using this appliance. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Save these instructions for future reference. General Safety Instructions This appliance must be installed by a competent person in accordance with the installation instructions. The installation must comply with the relevant regulations and also the local electricity supply company requirements This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Use for any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability claim. The use of a cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device, (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present. Use extractor fans or hoods when fitted. The range should be serviced by a qualified service engineer and only approved spare parts used. Have the installer show you the location of the range control switch. Mark it for easy reference. Always allow the range to cool and then switch off at the mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, unless specified otherwise in this guide. All parts of the range become hot with use and will retain heat even after you have stopped cooking. Take care when touching range, to minimize the possibility of burns, always be certain that the controls are in the OFF position and that it is cool before attempting to clean the range. In the interests of hygiene and safety the range should be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food stuff could result in a fire. Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Clean only parts listed in this guide. Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains etc. a safe distance away from your range. Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the range while it is in use. Do not store or use combustible materials, or flammable liquids in the vicinity of this appliance. Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will ignite if they get too hot. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point. Never leave a deep fry pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating, or as the fats melt. Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fry pan. Wait until the fat is cool. When the broiler is on, do not use the top of the flue (the slot along the back of the range) for warming plates, dishes, drying dish towels or softening butter. 9 Read all instructions before using this appliance. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Save these instructions for future reference. When using an electrical appliance near the cooktop, be sure that the cord of the appliance does not come into contact with the cooktop. Take care that no water seeps into the appliance The range is designed for cooking foods only and must not be used for any other purpose. The oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen, not only does this waste fuel but the control knobs may become overheated. When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary. When the range is not in use ensure that the control knobs are in the off position. The specification of this range should not be altered. This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it. 10 Using your Range The Cooktop When you cook on a electric cooktop its very important to use the right sort of pans... 1 Use only pans that are suitable for electric cooktops. We recommend stainless steel and enameled steel pans because pots and pans with copper or aluminum bases leave traces on the cooktop that are difficult to remove. Glass-ceramic cookware and stoneware are not suitable because of their poor conductivity. 2 Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, flat bottoms. This ensures that there is the maximum heat transfer from the cooktop to the pan, making cooking quick and energy efficient. Never use a round bottomed Wok even with a stand. 3 The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved in when cold. If you hold a ruler across the bottom you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the metal expands and lies flat on the cooking surface. Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent any residue burning onto the cooktop panel. This also helps prevent scratches and deposits (such as lime specks). 4 Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger than) the areas marked on the cooktop top. Using smaller pans wastes heat, and any spillage will be burnt on. Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly. 5 Always lift pans off the cooktop. Sliding pans may cause marks and scratches. Always turn the control to the off position before removing a pan. 6 There are indicator lights for each of the cooking areas. These come on when a cooktop control is turned on and stay lit while the surface cools. Always take care before touching the surface even when it is turned off - it may be hotter than you think. 7 The ratings of the cooking areas are shown on the diagram above. 8 On the left of the cooktop is a dual purpose area. The inner ring marks out a 1200W cooktop area, the outer line marks the extent of the Warmer. Push in and turn the control to the first (Warmer) position to heat the whole area to a low temperature. Use the Warmer for keeping food warm while the final touches are put to a meal. For best results, pre- heat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes before adding food to it. For best results, pre-heat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes before adding food to it. Use only heat resistant dishes. Turn it further to use the inner ring as a normal cooktop plate. 11 Using your Range 9 Although the cooktop surface is very strong, a heavy or sharp falling object (a salt shaker for example) might cause the surface to crack. If you find a crack in the surface immediately disconnect the appliance from the supply and arrange for its repair. Care should be taken that no water seeps into the appliance. 10 The areas marked with two concentric circles have an inner and an outer element. Push in and turn the control knob clockwise to heat the whole area for larger pans - push in and turn it the other way (counter clockwise) to just heat the inner part for smaller pans. 11 Never cook directly on the surface. The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food affects the setting required. Higher settings are required for larger quantities of food. Naturally, the surface must be washed after use in order to prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty. Only scratches in the cooktop surface reported within 14 days of range installation are covered by the waranty. Scratches caused by usage are not covered. When cooking on the cooktop you may see the cooktop area you are using switch off and on. This is caused by a safety device that limits the temperature of the cooktop. It is quite normal, especially when cooking at high temperatures. If it happens a lot with a particular pan however it may mean the pan is not suitable – perhaps too small or too uneven - for a electric cooktop. Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Sugar spillage will permanently damage the cooktop and therefore must be cleaned off with care immediately. Never let sugar spillage cool before trying to remove it. If sugar or foods with high sugar content, aluminum foil or plastic items are accidentally allowed to melt on the cooktop surface remove them immediately from the hot cooking area using a scraper to avoid any possible damage to the surface. See ‘Cleaning your range’. Never cut directly on the cooking surface. Don’t cook directly on the cooktop surface i.e. without a pan or utensil Don’t use the cooktop as a work surface Don’t drag or slide utensils across the cooktop surface Don’t place anything between the base of the pan and the cooktop surface (i.e. asbestos mats, aluminum foil, Wok stand) Don’t leave utensils, foodstuffs or combustible items on the cooktop when it is not in use. (e.g. towels, fry pans containing oil) Don’t place plastic or aluminum foil, or plastic containers on the cooktop Don’t leave the cooktop zones switched on unless being used for cooking Don’t place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two heating zones Don’t place utensils partly covering a heating zone. Always place utensils centrally. Never allow anyone to climb or stand on the cooktop 12 Using your Range The Broiler Before using for the first time, to dispel manufacturing odors, turn on the broiler and run for 30 minutes with the broiler pan in position. To clear the smell make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening windows for example. Caution: Accessible parts may be hot when the broiler is in use. Young children should be kept away. Remove the pan from the bottom of the broiler compartment. After placing your food on the broiler pan grid, slide the broiler pan onto the side supports just below the elements. Make sure it is pushed right in and touches the backstop. The broiler has two elements that allow either the whole area of the pan to be heated or just the right hand half. Turn the knob to position 3. For best results preheat for 2 minutes with the broiler pan in position. After placing your food on the broiler pan grid, slide the broiler pan onto the side supports. Adjust the heat to suit by turning the knob. Make sure it is pushed right in and touches the back stop. NEVER CLOSE THE BROILER DOOR WHEN THE BROILER IS ON. The broiler pan grid can be turned over to give two cooking positions. Don’t leave the broiler on for more than a few moments, without the broiler pan underneath it. For best results, especially with toast, preheat the broiler with the broiler pan in the cooking position for two minutes before use. The broiler grid can be removed and the food placed on it while you are waiting for the broiler to preheat. The broiler pan grid can be turned over to give two cooking positions. You can brown the top of dishes cooked in the oven, under the broiler by placing the dish onto the base of the broiler pan, which can easily slide along the fl oor of the broiler cavity. 13 Using your Range The Ovens The clock must be set to the time of day before the ovens will work. See ‘The Clock’ section for instructions on setting the time of day. Before using for the first time, to dispel manufacturing odors turn the ovens to 400°F (204°C) and run for an hour. To clear the smell make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening windows for example. During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven. The Left Hand Multi-function Oven The Right Hand Convection Oven The left hand oven is a Multi-function oven. As well as the oven fan and fan element, it is fitted with two extra heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven and the second under the oven base. Take care to avoid touching the top element and element deflector when placing or removing items from the oven. For more detail on this oven see the section ‘Multi-function oven’. The fan in the right hand oven circulates hot air continuously, which means faster more even cooking. The recommended cooking temperatures for a fanned oven are generally lower than a non-fanned oven. temperature function The Multi-function oven has two controls, a function selector and a temperature setting knob. The right hand fan oven control is at the right hand end of the control panel. Turn the function selector control to a cooking function. This is the fan oven setting. Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature you need. Turn the oven temperature knob to the temperature you need. The oven heating neon will glow until the oven has reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle on and off during cooking as the oven maintains the selected temperature. The oven heating neon will glow until the oven has reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle on and off during cooking as the oven maintains the selected temperature. 14 Using your Range The Clock Setting the time of day Setting knob Adjusting knob When the clock is first connected the display will fl ash ( ) and ( ) alternately. To set the clock to read the time of day turn and hold the Setting knob to the clock symbol ( ) and at the same time turn the Adjusting knob left or right until the clock shows the time of day. . Let go of the Setting knob and it will spring back to the vertical ( ) oven manual setting. If the key symbol ( ) appears on the left of the display you have accidentally turned on the key lock feature. See the section ‘Clock Special Features’. To time something that’s cooking (minute minder) Turn the Setting knob to the right to the ( ) minute minder setting - it should click into position. Use the adjustment knob to set the time you need. You can turn the knob back to the ( ) manual setting to keep an eye on the time of day or leave it in the ( ) minute minder position as the time ticks down. To stop the beeper when it sounds Turn the Adjusting knob counter clockwise To stop automatically Use when you have started the oven manually. Turn the Setting knob to the ( ) position. Use the adjustment knob to set the time you need. ‘Stop Time’ shows. AUTO will show in the display. Turn the Setting knob to the (auto) setting. When your cooking is finished the beeper sounds. Turn the Setting knob to the vertical ( ) to return to manual cooking. To start and stop the oven automatically (delayed baking) Before you set the clock, you must have two numbers clearly in mind. The ‘cook time’, which is the period of time you want the oven to cook. The maximum cooking time is 11 hours 59 minutes. The ‘stop time’, which is the time of day you want the oven to stop cooking. This must be less than 12 hours from the current time. You cannot set a start time directly - this is set automatically by setting the cooking period and stop time. Turn the Setting knob to the ( ) position. Use the Adjusting knob to set the ‘cooking time’ you need. 15 Using your Range Turn the Setting knob to the ( ) position. The display will show the current time of day plus the ‘cook period’ you just set. Use the adjustment knob to set the ‘Stop time’ you need. ‘Stop Time’ shows. AUTO will show in the display. Set the oven(s) to the cooking temperature you need (don’t forget to set a function if using the Multi-function oven). Turn the Setting knob to the (auto) setting. The clock shows the time of day and ‘AUTO’. When your cooking is finished the beeper sounds. Turn the Setting knob to the vertical ( ) to return to manual cooking. If you are out, don’t worry about the beeper going off, it stops after a short while. When you return, turn the Setting knob to the vertical ( ) to return to manual cooking. Turn the thermostat to the off position. AUTO is showing, you want to reset to manual cooking. You can cancel any automatic settings by briefly turning the Setting knob to the manual symbol ( ). Clock Special Features Key Lock When the key lock is activated, the clock can be operated as usual but the ovens are locked and will not come on. This means that your child could select a cook program but the program will not be activated and ovens will not switch on. To activate the key lock Turn and hold the Setting knob to the clock symbol ( ) for about 8 seconds. ‘On’ will appear on the display. Keep holding the Setting knob turned to the clock symbol ( ) and turn the Adjusting knob clockwise until the key symbol ( ) and ‘Of’ shows on the display. Let go of the knobs. The ovens are now locked. After a few seconds the display will revert to show the time of day and the key symbol. To turn off the key lock Turn and hold the Setting knob to the clock symbol ( ) for about 8 seconds. ‘Of’ will appear on the display. Keep holding the Setting knob turned to the clock symbol ( ) and turn the Adjusting knob clockwise until the key symbol ( ) goes out on the display. Let go of the knobs. After a few seconds the display will revert to show the time of day. The ovens can now be used normally. 16 Using your Range Cooking using the timer (Delayed baking) The timer can be used to turn just one oven or both on and off automatically. The start and stop time must be the same for both ovens but different cooking temperatures can be set. If you want to turn one of the ovens on at the same time as the timer is set for automatic cooking, you must wait until the timer has turned on the oven/ ovens fi rst. Then you can adjust either of them manually in the normal way. You can set the oven for a combined delay and cook cycle of up to 11 hours 59 minutes. If you want to cook more than one dish, choose dishes that require approximately the same time. However, dishes can be ‘slowed down’ slightly by using small containers and covering them with aluminum foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by cooking smaller quantities or placing in larger containers. Never allow aluminum foil to contact the heating elements. Very perishable foods such as pork, dairy products or seafood should be avoided if a long delay period is planned, especially in hot weather. Don’t place warm food in the oven. Don’t use an oven already warm. Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm. Avoid using wine or beer if there is a delay period, as fermentation may take place. To avoid curdling, cream should be added to dishes just before serving. Fresh vegetables, which may discolor during a delay period, should be coated in melted fat or immersed in a water and lemon juice solution. Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet mixtures on top of uncooked pastry are only satisfactory if there is a short delay period. Dishes containing leftover cooked meat or poultry should not be cooked automatically if there is a delay period. Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted before placing in the oven. Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked before serving. Automatic cooking is not recommended for baked items that require a pre-heated oven such as cakes, cookies and breads. Both ovens Before using for the first time, to dispel manufacturing odors turn the ovens to 400°F (204°C) and run for an hour. To clear the smell make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening windows for example. The wire racks should always be pushed firmly to the back of the oven. Bakeware, meat pans etcetera should be placed level centrally on the oven’s wire racks. Keep all trays and containers away from the sides of the oven, as overbrowning of the food may occur. For even browning, the maximum recommended size for a baking sheet is 14¼” wide by 12” deep. Always place baking sheets with the widest part across the oven. Cooking high moisture content foods can create a ‘steam burst’, when the oven door is opened. When opening the oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse. When the oven is on, don’t leave the door open for longer than necessary, otherwise the knobs may get very hot. • Always leave a ‘fingers width’ between dishes on the same rack. This allows the heat to circulate freely around them. • Cover meat when cooking to avoid fat splashes. • To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or brush lightly with cooking oil. • Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while cooking to warm plates in the broiler compartment. • If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish, preheat the baking sheet for 15 minutes before placing the dish in the center of the sheet or use the base heat in the Multifunction oven. • Where dishes may boil and spill over during cooking, place them on a baking sheet. 17 Using your Range Multi-function oven The left hand oven of your range is Multi-function. It has many varied uses. We suggest you keep a careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar with each function. Remember - not all functions will be suitable for all food types. Please remember that all ranges vary - temperatures in your new ovens may differ to those in your previous range. Multi-function oven modes Defrost This function operates the fan to circulate cold air only. No heat is applied. This enables small items such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of meat, fish and poultry to be defrosted. Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and protects the food from fl ies. Pieces of meat, fish and poultry should be placed on a rack, over a tray to catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and tray after defrosting. Defrost with the oven door closed. Large items, such as whole chickens and meat roasts should not be defrosted in this way. We recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator. Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm oven or when an adjoining oven is in use or still warm. Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are completely defrosted before cooking. Convection oven This function operates the fan and the heating element around it. An even heat is produced throughout the oven, allowing you to cook large amounts quickly. Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for multi- rack cooking and is a good ‘all-round’ function. It may be necessary to reduce the temperature by approximately 20°F for recipes previously cooked in a conventional oven. If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until the indicator light has gone out before inserting the food. Convection broiling This function operates the fan whilst the top element is on. It produces a more even, less fierce heat than a conventional broiler. For best results, place the food to be cooked, on a grid over a roasting tin, which should be smaller than a conventional broiler pan. This allows greater air circulation. Thick pieces of meat or fish are ideal for cooking in this way, as the circulated air reduces the fi erceness of the heat from the broiler. The oven door should be kept closed whilst cooking is in progress, so saving energy. You will also fi nd that the food needs to be watched and turned less than for normal broiling. Pre-heat this function before cooking. Fan assisted oven This function operates the fan, circulating air heated by the elements at the top and the base of the oven. The combination of fan and conventional cooking (top and base heat) makes this function ideal for cooking large items that need thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast. It is also possible to bake on two racks at one time, although they will need to be swapped over during the cooking time, as the heat at the top of the oven is greater than at the base, when using this function. This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an eye on the food cooking until you have become accustomed to this function. 18 Using your Range Conventional oven (top and base heat) This function combines the heat from the top and base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked on the top rack will brown and crisp faster than on the lower rack, because the heat is greater at the top of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Convection assisted oven’ function. Similar items being cooked will need to be swapped around for even cooking. This means that foods requiring different temperatures can be cooked together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the top. Browning element This function uses the element in the top of the oven only. It is a useful function for the browning or finishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce and lasagne, the item to be browned being already hot before switching to the top element. Base heat This function uses the base element only. It will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or finish off cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower rack. It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate warming. The Browning and Base heat functions are useful additions to your oven, giving you flexibility to fi nish off items to perfection. With use, you will soon realize how these functions can combine to extend your cooking skills. Handyrack The maximum weight than can be held by the Handyrack is 12lb (5.5kg). It should only be used with the supplied meat tin, which is designed to fit the Handyrack. Any other vessel could be unstable. The base of the meat tin is shaped to ease the draining of fat from the meat. Don’t place the item to be cooked on a raised grid or rack in the tin, as it may be unstable. The Handyrack fits on the oven door. Food cooking on it is easy to attend to, because it’s accessible when the door is open. It can be fitted at two different heights. One of the oven racks must be removed and the other positioned to suit. When the Handyrack is used in its highest position, other dishes can be cooked on the bottom shelf position of the oven. When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position, other dishes can be cooked on the second rack position of the oven. To fit the Handyrack, locate one side of it on the door bracket. Then spring the other side out to clip it onto the other bracket. 19 Using your Range Oven racks the rack guard should be at the back pointing upwards As well as the flat racks some models are supplied with drop racks. The drop racks increase the possibilities for oven rack spacing. fl at rack drop rack The oven racks can be easily removed and refitted. Pull the rack forward until the back of the rack is stopped by the rack stop bumps in the oven sides. Lift up the front of the rack so the back of the rack will pass under the rack stop and then pull the rack forward. To refit the rack, line up the rack with a groove in the oven side and push the rack back until the ends hit the rack stop. Lift up the front so the rack ends clear the rack stops, and then lower the front so that the rack is level and push it fully back. Steam When cooking foods with high water content (e.g. oven fries) there may be some steam visible at the grille at the rear of the cooktop. This is perfectly normal. Oven lights Press the appropriate button to turn on one of the oven lights. If one of the oven lights fail, turn off the power supply before you change the bulb. See the ‘Troubleshooting’ section for details on how to change an oven light bulb. Storage The bottom drawer is for storing oven trays and other cooking utensils. It can get very warm, don’t store anything in it that may melt or catch fire. Never store flammable materials in the drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage. The drawer can be removed completely for cleaning etc. 20 Using your Range To remove the drawer pull it right out Lift up the ends of the plastic clips (one each side) to release the catches holding the drawer to the side runners and at the same time pull the drawer forward and away from the side runners. For safety’s sake push the drawer runners back out of the way. To refit the drawer Pull out the side runners. Rest the drawer back on the side runners and, keeping it level, push it right back. The clips should click into position holding the drawer to the side runners. 21 Using your Range Multi-function (Left hand) Oven cooking guide Remember - not all modes will be suitable for all food types. The oven control settings and cooking times given are intended to be used only as a guide. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered to provide a preferred result. Food is cooked at a lower temperature in a convection oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes, reduce the temperature by 20°F and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The temperature in the convection oven is the same throughout ensuring uniform results. The racks should not be fi tted directly one above the other. When cooking on more than one rack always leave at least one runner space between them. Place baking sheets, individual cake tins or baking dishes centrally on the oven rack. For best results pre-heat the oven until the oven indicator light goes out.

Remember to switch on the electricity supply before use. Never use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt. Don’t mix different cleaning products - they may react together with hazardous results. Recommended cleaning materials are shown in the table at the end of this section. All parts of the range can be cleaned with hot soapy water - but take care that no surplus water seeps into the appliance. For cleaning materials see the ‘Cleaning Table’ at the end of this section. Cooktop Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. It’s very easy to clean the Cooktop with a recommended cleaner. CAUTION — Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, oven aerosols or pads or stain removers on the surface. Daily care First of all, be sure that all heat indicator lights are off and the cooking surface is cool. Apply a small dab, about the size of a coin, of electric cooktop cleaning cream in the center of each area to be cleaned. Dampen a clean paper towel and work the cleaning cream on the cooking surface as if you were cleaning a window. As a final step, wipe the cooking surface with a clean, dry paper towel. Cleaning for spills For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking, turn the unit off and wipe the area surrounding the hot zone with a clean paper towel. If a spill (other than a sugary substance) is on the hot zone, do not clean until the unit is completely cooled down and follow the instructions below (“Cleaning for burned-on spills”). If you accidentally melt anything on the cooking or if you spill foods with a high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce, etc.), REMOVE the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor scraper, while the unit is still hot. IMPORTANT: Turn off the cooktop and use an oven glove to protect your hand from potential burns. Take care when using a sharp scraper. Scrape the major spill or melted material from the cooking zone and push into a cold area, and then allow to cool before cleaning further. After the cooking surface cools down and the heat indicator lights go off, use the daily care procedure as outlined above. Cleaning for burned-on spills Be sure that the heat indicator lights are off and the cooktop is cool. Remove excess burned-on substance with a single-edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper at approximately a 30° angle to the surface and scrape off the burned-on matter as you would scrape paint off of a window. IMPORTANT: Take care when using a sharp scraper. When you have removed as much as possible with the scraper clean using the daily care procedure as described above. To remove metal rub-off Sliding pans on the cooktop - especially aluminum or copper pans can leave marks on the surface. These marks often appear like scratches, but can be easily removed using the procedure described above for cleaning spills. If the rub-off marks are especially stubborn, use the cleaning cream together with the razor scraper, using the technique described above. Broiler The broiler pan and grid should be washed in hot soapy water. After cooking meats or any foods that soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the sink immediately after use. Stubborn particles may be removed from the grid by using a nylon brush. 24 Using your Range Cleaning chart All Parts listed here can be cleaned using hot soapy water (dishwashing liquid detergent) and a soft cloth. For more difficult cleaning, follow the appropriate instruction. Check cleaner manufacturers guidelines for compatibility with the material of your range.

Wipe with a clean dampened cloth then polish with a dry cloth. Oven Doors The Legacy range is available with either solid doors or window doors. The oven doors should only be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot soapy water. Models with window doors The oven door is triple glazed but the oven door front panel can be taken off so that the inside faces of the glass panels can be cleaned. If necessary move the range forward to gain access to the sides of the doors (see the ‘Moving the range’ section of these instructions). The door front panel is held by two fixing screws on each side. The fixing screws have a recessed hexagon socket in the head. A hexagon key to fit the screw is supplied in the instruction pack. Open the oven door slightly and use the key to remove the front panel fixing screws from the door sides (two each side). Carefully lift off the outer door panel. The inside face of the glass panels can now be cleaned - take care not to disturb or wet the door insulation. Please note that the door is triple glazed but the inner two panels are fixed. Do not try to remove the glass from the door. After cleaning carefully refit the outer door panel and replace the side fixing screws. Ovens Some of the oven lining panels can be removed for cleaning and for cleaning behind. They can also be put into a dishwasher. Remove the racks first. The right hand fanned oven has a removable oven roof - slide the roof liner forward and remove. The side panels of either oven can be removed. Each side of the oven is fi xed with four fixing screws. You don’t have to remove the screws to remove the oven linings. Lift each side panel upwards and they will slide off the screws. Then pull them forwards Once the linings are removed, the oven enamel interior can be cleaned. When replacing the linings fit the side linings first. Some models also have porcelain enameled oven floor liners. These can be easily slid out for cleaning. 26 Using your Range Troubleshooting A crack has appeared in the Cooktop surface Disconnect the range immediately from the power supply and arrange for its repair. Don’t use the range until after the repair. See the "Service and spares" section for imformation about service. My Cooktop is scratched Only scratches in the cooktop surface reported within 14 days of range installation are covered by the waranty. Scratches caused by usage are not covered. Have you used the correct cleaning methods? Pots and pans with rough bottoms, or coarse particles (salt or sand) between the pan and the surface of the cooktop may cause scratches. Use the recommended cleaning methods. Make sure pan bottoms are smooth and clean. Tiny scratches are not removable but will become less visible in time as a result of cleaning. Metal markings on the Cooktop Do not slide aluminum or copper pans across the surface. Marks from aluminum and copper pans as well as mineral deposits from water or food can be removed with the cleaning cream. Steam is coming from the oven When cooking foods with a high water content (e.g. oven fries) there may be some steam visible at the rear grille. Take care when opening the oven door, as there may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven door is opened. Stand well back and allow any steam to disperse. The oven fan is noisy The note of the oven fan may change as the oven heats up - this is perfectly normal. What cleaning materials are recommended for the range? See the ‘Cleaning’ section for a full list of recommended cleaning materials. We do not recommend corrosive or caustic cleaners as these may damage your range. The knobs get hot when I use the oven or the broiler, can I avoid this? Yes, this is caused by heat rising from the oven or the broiler, and heating them up. Don’t leave the oven door open. Make sure that the broiler pan is pushed right back to the ‘backstop’ when broiling. If there is an installation problem and I don’t get my original installer to come back to fix it who pays? You do. Service organizations will charge for their call outs if they are correcting work carried out by your original installer. It’s in your interest to track down your original installer. Current Operated Ground Fault Circuit Breaker Where the range installation is protected by a 30 milliamp sensitivity residual current device (RCD), the combined use of your range and other domestic appliances may occasionally cause nuisance tripping. In these instances the range circuit may need to be protected by fitting 100mA device. This work should be carried out by a qualified electrician. Food is cooking too slowly, too quickly, or burning Cooking times may differ from your previous oven. Check that you are using the recommended temperatures and rack positions. See cooking guide section of the instructions. The oven control settings and cooking times are intended to be used only as a guide. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be altered either way, to get the results you want. Try cooking at a higher temperature setting. The oven is not cooking evenly Do not use a tin or tray larger than 14 ¼” wide by 12” deep. If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn it round during cooking. If two racks are used, check that space has been left for the heat to circulate. When a baking sheet is put into the oven, make sure it is placed centrally on the rack. Check that the door seal is not damaged and that the door catch is adjusted so that the door is held firmly against the seal. 27 Using your Range A dish of water when placed on the rack should be the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper at the back, then the back of the range should be raised up or the front lowered). If the range is not level arrange for your supplier to level it for you. Oven not coming on when turned on manually Is the power on? Is the clock illuminated? If not there may be something wrong with the power supply. Is the range supply on at the isolator switch? Has the time of day been set? If using the Multi-function oven have you set a cooking function? Is the key symbol ( ) showing in the display? See the Clock section of the instructions for more information on the key lock feature of the clock. Oven not coming on when automatic cooking Timer set correctly but oven knob left OFF by mistake? Is the key symbol ( ) showing in the display? See the Clock section of the instructions for more information on the key lock feature of the clock. If using the Multi-function oven have you set a cooking function? Oven temperature getting hotter as the range gets older If turning the knob down has not worked or only worked for a short time then you may need a new thermostat. This should be fitted by a service person. Broiler not cooking properly Are you using the pan and grid supplied with the range? Is the pan being used on the runners, not the fl oor of the compartment? Is the broiler tray pushed fully back to stop? The oven light is not working The bulb has probably burnt out. You can buy a replacement bulb (which is not covered under the warranty) from a good electrical shop. Ask for a Edison screw fitting,15w 125-130v lamp, FOR OVENS. It must be a special bulb, heat resistant to 300°C (570°F). Turn off the power supply. Make sure the oven is cool. Open the oven door and remove the oven racks. Unscrew the bulb cover by turning counter clockwise. It may be very stiff. Taking care to protect your fingers in case the bulb should shatter, unscrew the old bulb. Screw in the new bulb, screw back the bulb cover. Turn on the electricity supply and check that the bulb now lights. 28 Using your Range Service and spares Please complete the appliance details below and keep them safe for future reference - this information will enable us to accurately identify your particular appliance and help us to help you.

Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4’’ thick plywood or similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting. • Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°F. • Avoid placing cabinets above the range. There must be a gap of at least 30’’ (76cm) between the top of the range and any combustible surface above it. • To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the rise can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (13cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets. If a ventilating hood is installed above the range follow the installation instructions supplied with the hood. Caution Items of interest to children should not be stored above a range - children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured. Dimensions and clearances Provide adequate clearances between the range and adjacent combustible surfaces. These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range. Positioning the Range The diagrams below show the minimum recommended distance from the range to nearby surfaces. A Min 35 /’’(89.8cm) Max 36 /” (92.5cm) B Min 43 /’’ (110cm) - 43 /” (111cm) recommend to allow for moving the range) C Min 30’’ (76cm) D Min 3’’ (7.5cm) but see below about door opening. E Min 50’’ (127cm) F Min 18’’ (43cm) G Maximum 13’’ (33cm) The cooktop surround should be level with, or above, any adjacent work surface.

For non-combustible surfaces (such as unpainted metal or ceramic tiles) this can be reduced to 1”. A minimum space of 30” is required between the top of the cooktop and a horizontal combustible surface. The maximum depth for cabinets installed above cooktops is 13’’. The standard depth of the range is 26¾’’ overall. 34 Read all instructions before installing or using this appliance. Installation Instructions Save these instructions for future reference. If the range is to be installed between 24’’ deep cabinets the optional rear spacer should be fitted to move the range 2’’ forward. See the spacer fitting instruction section of these instructions. Any range hood should be installed in accordance with the hood manufacturer’s instructions. For safety reasons curtains must not be fitted immediately behind the range. We recommend a gap of 43/” (111cm) between units to allow for moving the range. Do not box the range in; it must be possible to move the range in and out for servicing. A clearance of 5” (13cm) is required if the range is near a corner of the kitchen to allow the oven doors to open. Location guidelines Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork. Your range is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor. The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.) Make sure the wall coverings around your range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.) 35 Read all instructions before installing or using this appliance. Installation Instructions Save these instructions for future reference. Moving the Range The range is very heavy. Take great care. We recommend two people maneuver the range. Ensure that the floor covering is firmly attached, or removed to prevent it being disturbed when moving the range around. You will need the leveling tool. Pull the drawer out to its furthest point. Lift up the ends of the plastic clips (one each side) to release the catches holding the drawer to the side runners and at the same time pull the drawer forward and away from the side runners. For safety’s sake push the drawer runners back out of the way. Put the drawer somewhere safe - do not refi t it until you have completed the installation, you will need access to the area behind the drawer. Fit the leveling tool on the rectangular adjuster as shown below. LOWER THE FRONT ROLLER by doing 14 complete (360°) turns clockwise. (This means turning and removing the leveling tool 56 times). Now LOWER THE TWO REAR ROLLERS. First fit the leveling tool on the hexagonal adjusting nut as shown below. Make 10 complete (360°) turns clockwise. (This means turning and removing the leveling tool 20 times). Make sure you lower BOTH REAR ROLLERS. There are two adjusting nuts, one for each roller, at both the front bottom corners of the range. Note the rollers are only intended to aid installation - the range should not be moved once it is installed. Push the range close to its final position, leaving just enough space to get behind it. Do not refit the storage drawer yet IMPORTANT! Remove all tape and packaging. Take the accessory pack out of the oven. Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping. 36 Read all instructions before installing or using this appliance. Installation Instructions Save these instructions for future reference. Checking the parts Check that the range has the following parts. Leveling tool & Allen keys Broiler pan and trivet Meat tin Handyrack anti tip device kit 6 oven racks Splashback & Plinth Rear spacer Miscellaneous parts pack (rear spacer end caps, fi xings, ground strap ect.) Leveling the Range Place the range in its intended position taking care not to twist it within the gap between the kitchen units as damage may occur to the range or the units. Install the oven shelves in the oven. Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or a cup, partially fi lled with water, on one of the oven grids. If using a spirit level, take two readings-with the level placed diagonally fi rst in one direction and then the other. The rollers can be adjusted to level the range. To adjust the height of the rear of the range use the leveling tool supplied to turn the adjusting nuts at the front bottom corners of the range. Adjust the height of the front roller to level the range. Turn clockwise to raise the range and counter clockwise to lower. When you are satisfied with the height and level raise the front of the range by one turn of the front roller adjuster. Screw down the front feet to meet the fl oor. Screw the front roller adjuster counter clockwise to raise the front roller so that the front of the range is supported on the feet, not the front roller, to prevent accidental movement of the range.
