Using the Grill  
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use.  
Children should be kept away.  
The height of the grill makes it easy to see and attend to the food. The control knob for the grill  
can be turned in either direction to give variable heat control.  
Using the Grill  
Turn the control knob to setting High and allow the element to heat up for approx. 5 minutes.  
Leave the control at setting High for toast and for sealing and fast cooking of foods.  
For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the control to a lower setting after the initial  
sealing on both sides. (See grill chart for guide)  
The thicker the food the lower the control should be set.  
NOTE:  
ENSURE GRILL PAN IS FITTED TO THE RUNNER CORRECTLY  
(TO PREVENT TILTING AND SPILLAGE OF HOT FAT ETC).  
To remove the grill pan, pull it out along the runners to the stop position and lift.  
The outer cover of the grill compartment should be in position before the grill is switched On.  
IMPORTANT Never put any combustible material or china directly on top of the  
grill compartment as it gets very hot.  
Do not line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this causes fat to overheat.

Using the Oven  
The oven is fitted with 'Credaclean' liners and two rod shelves. To heat the oven, turn the control  
knob clockwise, selecting the required temperature between 80˚C (170˚F) and 230˚C (450˚F) as  
recommended in the temperature chart. The pilot light will immediately come on and remain on  
until the oven reaches the required temperature. This light will then automatically go off and on  
during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.  
It should be noted that at the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of steam  
when the oven door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly normal  
characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.  
The correct positioning of food is indicated in the temperature charts on pages 15 and 16 .  
Oven Cookery Notes  
The Charts on pages 15 and 16 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, and similarly meat stored in a freezer must be completely thawed before-  
hand. 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 – this gives crisp crackling. 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 unnessary oven splashing).  
Additional fat should not be used, except for veal, very lean meat, poultry, which can either be  
'larded' with fat bacon, or brushed over very sparingly with melted fat/cooking oil. When potatoes  
are to be 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.  
IMPORTANT Basic principles of food handling and hygiene must be followed to  
prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

Oven Cookery Notes  
TIMES AND TEMPERATURES FOR ROASTING  
The secret of succulent, tender meat, is not to roast it too quickly at too high a  
temperature. Best results are obtained when roasting is carried out at a low  
temperature. 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 to a minimum. 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).  
The suggested times and temperatures given on page 14 should be used as a guide but may  
vary according to:–  
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 without a  
bone. (The weight of stuffing should be added to the oven ready weight of  
meat/poultry to calculate roasting times).  
Storage Compartment  
To open the storage compartment door use the door finger hold, pull forward to  
disengage the door from the door catch and carefully lower the door. On closing the  
door, ensure the catch engages correctly.  
Take care as accessible surfaces inside the storage compartment will become hot when the  
oven is in use. The storage compartment is ideal for storing saucepans, meat pans, etc.  
Do not use it for storing combustible materials, flammable liquids or aerosols.

Cooking Results Not Satisfactory?  
Problem  
Check  
Grilling  
uneven cooking front to  
back  
Ensure that the grill pan is positioned  
centrally below the grill element.  
Grilling  
Fat splattering  
Ensure that the grill is not set to too  
high a setting.  
Baking  
Uneven rising of cakes  
Ensure that the oven shelves are level by  
using a spirit level on the rod shelf and  
adjusting, using suitable packing,  
e.g. wood, under the feet of the appliance.  
This should be checked both left to right  
and front to back.  
Sinking of cakes  
The following may cause cakes to sink:  
1. Cooking at too high a temperature.  
2. Using normal creaming method  
with soft margarine.  
Over/Undercooking  
Fast/Slow cooking  
Refer to the cooking times and  
temperatures given in the oven  
temperature charts, however, it may  
be necessary to increase or decrease  
temperatures by 10˚C to suit personal  
taste.  
Do not use utensils greater than 75mm 3"  
in height, for roasting.

Care and Cleaning  
Regular cleaning is recommended to keep white cookers in its best possible  
condition.  
Turn OFF the main control unit and allow the cooker to cool before  
cleaning.  
Before switching on again, ensure that all controls are in the OFF position.  
'CREDACLEAN' OVEN LINERS AND HOW THEY WORK  
The surfaces of the 'Credaclean' oven liners are treated on the mottled face with a  
o
special vitreous enamel which absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220 C  
o
(425 F) or above, the special surface enables these soils to be slowly destroyed.  
The higher the temperature, the more effective it is. In most cases normal cooking  
operations at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation to proceed during  
cooking. However, if higher cooking temperatures are not used regularly, it may be  
necessary, in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without a meat pan, at  
o
o
a higher temperature setting of 230 C (450 F) for a couple of hours. This may be  
necessary once a month or every two or three months depending on the type and  
amount of oven cooking.  
OVEN SIDES  
It should not normally be necessary to clean the 'Credaclean' panels. If the user feels it  
is desirable to do so, pull out the rod shelves, lift up and remove the side panels before  
washing them in warm soapy water, and rinsing in clear water.  
Do not use enzyme/biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven  
chemical cleaners of any kind.  
VITREOUS ENAMEL HOB SURROUND  
Clean with a cloth wrung out in soapy water. Stubborn stains can be removed with  
a cream, paste or liquid cleaner, or by gently rubbing with liberally soaped, very fine  
steel wool pads. Check that the cleaning agent used is approved by the Vitreous  
Enamel Development Council.  
Note: We do not recommend the use of decorative covers over the hot hotplates as these  
can hold condensation and cause corrosion. Accidental operation with a cover in place  
can cause intense heat. Never place saucepan lids on the hotplates, as this may cause  
corrosion.  
SEALED HOTPLATES  
The cleaning of sealed hotplates should be done when they are cold, using a soap  
filled scouring pad, following the grain of the hotplate. This will ensure that any  
stubborn, burnt on spillages are removed. Wipe over with a damp clean cloth, making  
sure that all the cleaner has been removed. Finally, turn on heater 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®. This is available from Creda Spares  
Department.  
CONTROL PANEL AND SPLASHBACK  
Wipe over the control panel and/or splashback with a damp cloth. Polish with a dry  
cloth. Do not use oven cleaners or aerosols, scouring pads or abrasive powder for  
cleaning the plastic knobs as damage will occur.  
18  
 
Care and Cleaning  
OVEN INTERIOR  
Refer to the instructions on page 18 for cleaning the 'Credaclean'panels.  
Remove the rod shelves for washing at the sink. Use a fine steel wool soap pad for  
removing stubborn stains from the rod shelves and floor of the oven. Take care during  
cleaning not to damage, bend of dislodge from the supporting clips the thermostat phial  
which is across the back of the oven just below the roof.  
OVEN DOOR  
Wipe over the door outer 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.  
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powder which may scratch the surface.  
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the door seal. Do not lift the door  
seal from the oven front frame, if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the  
corner clips. Be sure to replace the oven door seal before using the appliance.  
DECORATIVE TRIMS / SIDE PANELS  
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims / side panels regularly to prevent any build up  
of soiling which may detract from the appearance of the Cooker. The recommended  
method of cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung out in hot water or  
mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not  
noticeable in normal use), then after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clean water, dry with  
a soft clean cloth.  
GRILL

WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
Your cooker should be checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your

registered with the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting  
(NICEIC) to a suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating of 45A and a  
minimum contact clearance of 3mm, which should be fitted adjacent to the cooker,  
in accordance with IEE regulations.  
The power supply cable should conform to B.S.6004 with a conductor size of 6mm2  
minimum.  
The control unit should be easily accessible in the event of an emergency.  
This appliance conforms to EN55014 regarding suppression of radio and television  
interference.  
Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover.

Installation  
SITING  
The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 500mm apart  
minimum. The space either side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the  
cooker for servicing. It can be used with cabinets one side or both as well as in an angled  
corner setting. It can also be used free-standing.  
Adjacent side walls which project above hob level, should be protected by heat  
resistant material, but in any case should not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm.  
Any overhanging surface should not be nearer than 500mm.  
Excess steam from the oven is expelled at the rear of the cooker, therefore the wall  
behind the cooker needs to be protected against grease and moisture.  
This is a type X appliance regarding protection against overheating of surrounding  
surfaces.  
MOVING THE COOKER  
Before moving your cooker ensure that it is cool and note that it is heavy.  
Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows:  
Open the oven door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front  
edge of the oven roof.  
Note: Take care when moving the cooker as it is heavy. Take care to ensure that any floor  
covering is not damaged.
