Tricity Bendix cookers comply with British Standard safety and performance requirements. They have are covered by a 12 month parts and labour guarantee. To get the best from your new Tricity Bendix appliance, we ask that you PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Particular attention should be made to cooking times and temperatures which may differ from your previous appliance. It is most important that this instruction book is retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold, or if you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book remains with the appliance. This will enable the new owner to be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. Please read the whole instruction book before attempting to use the appliance ensuring you follow the recommendations given. 4 INTRODUCTION WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED RATING PLATE This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the top oven door. Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on the back or top of some models (Where applicable). The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is given on the rating plate. Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance as this may invalidate the guarantee. THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS The cooling fan operates immediately when the grill or top oven is switched on. It may run on after the controls are switched off until the appliance has cooled. If an automatic programme has been set the cooling fan does not switch on until the cooktime begins. The cooling fan may operate after a time when the fan oven is in use. This will depend on the temperature setting and the length of time the oven has been in use. CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEONS GENERAL NOTES ON USING YOUR APPLIANCE We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 - 15 minutes at 220°C to burn off any residue from their surfaces. The procedure should be repeated with the grill for approximately 5 - 10 minutes. During this period an odour may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for ventilation. These lights indicate whether the ovens are switched on. The neons also indicate when the set temperature has been reached. They will turn on and off during use to show that the temperature is being maintained. If the neons do not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and re-set following the instructions for the required setting. When the oven has been set for automatic cooking the neon will remain unlit until the cooktime begins. ABOUT CONDENSATION AND STEAM When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The ovens are vented to allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the oven door to allow any build up of steam or heat to release. If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on the outside of the appliance, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance. To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces including the vent at the rear of the hob. For your safety wallcoverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall. COOKWARE Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed directly against the grid covering the fan at the back of the oven. Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm (12" x 14") as they will restrict the circulation of heat and may affect performance. 5 GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance. If you require replacements of any of the items listed below, please contact your local Service Force Centre quoting the relevant part number. Scuffing of the Stayclean panel/s by the oven furniture pack may occur during transit. These marks will disappear after the oven elements have been burnt off for the first time. 1 grill pan (311409401) 1 grill pan handle (311468100) Note If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6 1 grill pan grid (311419801) 1 meat tin (311409401) 1 straight shelf for grilling and top oven cooking only 2 straight shelves for main oven cooking 6 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE THE CONTROL PANEL - SIM 533 A B C D E F FEATURES A B C D E F G H Ignition Switch Hotplate Controls Top Oven/Grill Temperature Control Main Oven Temperature Control Hotplate Controls Automatic Timer Top Oven Indicator Neon Main Oven Indicator Neon G H 7 THE TIMER Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for example 2.00 pm is shown as 1400. In the following pages we explain how to set the controls. Read through them a few times until you are familiar with the procedure. Cookpot symbol Bell symbol If the oven is switched off on the wall, or there is a loss of power, the clock will stop and you will not be able to use the ovens. When you first switch the electricity supply on, the timer display will flash. Selector Setting knob TO SET THE TIME OF DAY Turn the selector knob to 'Manual' then turn to 'Time Setting'. Set the correct time by turning and holding the setting knob clockwise. Adjust the time by turning the setting knob in either direction. Turn the selector knob back to 'Manual'. TO USE THE COUNTDOWN Turn the selector knob to 'Countdown'. Turn the setting knob clockwise until the display shows the time you want. The bell symbol ( ) will be showing and this will stay lit up during the time. Our diagram shows the timer set to 5 minutes. If you change your mind and want to cancel the time you have set, simply turn the setting knob anticlockwise. Then turn the selector to 'Manual'. When you are using the 'Countdown' you can make the clock show the time of day by turning the selector knob to 'Manual'. The bell symbol will stay on to remind you that the 'Countdown' is set. At the end of the timed period an alarm will sound and the bell symbol will go out. Switch off the alarm by turning the selector knob to 'Time Setting'. Then turn to 'Manual' and the time of day will show in the display. Note: You can use the countdown when an automatic sequence has been set, as long as you remember the following point. 1 Turn the selector knob to 'Automatic' as soon as you have entered the timed period into the display. 8 AUTOMATIC CONTROL The automatic control can be used to control either oven but you can only use the control for both ovens at the same time if the cooking time is the same. When you use the automatic controls for the first time it's probably best to choose a time when you are at home. That way you can check to make sure you've set everything correctly and you'll feel much more confident when you are away from home in the future. SETTING THE CONTROLS FOR AUTOMATIC USE This is very easy. All you have to do is work through the steps below. The clock will work out the rest for itself. 1 Is the electricity supply on? 2 Is the clock showing the To adjust turn the selector knob correct time? to 'Manual' then turn to 'Time Setting'. Turn the setting knob in either direction. 3 How long will the food take to cook? Turn the selector knob to 'Cook Time'. Then turn the setting knob until the length of time you want the food to cook shows in the display. The maximum cooking time is 10 hours. 'Auto' will show in the display. Turn the selector knob to 'End Time'. Turn the setting knob until the time the oven is to switch off shows in the display. The cookpot ( ) will go out. The 'End Time' must not be more than 23 hours 59 minutes from the time of day. For example if the time of day is 9.00 am the latest 'End Time' will be 8.59 am the next day. Turn the selector 'Automatic'. knob to 4 What time do you want the food to be cooked by? 5 Set to automatic. 6 Turn on the oven control. Turn the oven control to the required setting. The time shown on the right gives an example of setting the automatic controls when the time is 9.00 am, the food is to be cooked for 2½ hours and the food is needed at 6.00 pm (1800 hours). The clock will work out what time the oven will switch itself on and it will turn the oven off at the end. Once the automatic sequence is finished there will be an alarm to remind you that you need to set the oven for manual operation. To do this turn the selector knob to 'Manual'. Turn off the oven control. If you change your mind and want to cancel a programme that you have set simply turn to 'Time Setting' and then to 'Manual'. 9 THE GAS HOB SELECTING THE HOB USES OF THE HOB The gas hob has three different burner sizes to suit different types of cooking: To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner size used. Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips. Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking. Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods such as soups and stews. The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4") Ensure the pan supports are correctly fitted before using the hob. See page 21. TO TURN OFF ANY BURNER 1. Turn the control knob to the off position. This is shown by a large dot. When lighting any burner, ensure that it is lit before you leave the appliance. When turning off a burner, ensure the flame has gone out before leaving the appliance. THINGS TO NOTE If you are having any difficulty lighting a hob burner turn all the hob controls off and make sure the burner parts have been replaced correctly. See page 21 for more information. HEAT CONTROL The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You can adjust the heat by turning the control between the highest and lowest settings. These are shown as a large and a small flame symbol. TO LIGHT THE HOB BURNERS The hob ignition works by means of an electric spark system. 1. Push in and turn the control knob to the left to the highest setting. This is shown by a large flame symbol. Press the ignition button immediately. 2. When the burner has lit release the control and adjust the setting as required. Warning: if the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of gas may cause the flame to spread. 10 HINTS AND TIPS Keep flames under the base of pans. If the flames lick round the sides of the pan you are wasting gas. Do not overfill pans or they will boil over. Do not use pans with very heavy handles which cause the pan to tip. Use pans with flat bases. They are more stable than pans which are warped. Place pans on the centre of the burners. Position pans so the handles cannot be accidentally knocked or overhang the appliance. Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across the hob. Do not leave accidental spillage on the hob or removable parts. The spillage should be wiped up and the parts washed and carefully dried as soon as the hob, pan supports and burner parts are cool enough to touch. See page 21 for full cleaning instructions. Cover pans with a lid whenever possible. Food will heat up more quickly and there will be less steam in the kitchen. A flat based Wok will stand stable on the pan supports. If you use a round based Wok with a collar support, the collar must be the open wirework type otherwise the performance of the burner will be affected. Take care to avoid burns and scalds when reaching across the hotplate. Take extra care when deep fat frying, do not cover the pan with a lid. Do not leave a pan unattended. If the pan catches fire, leave it where it is and turn off all controls. Place a damp cloth or a fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames. Never put water on the fire. Leave to cool for 30 minutes. 11 THE GRILL USES OF THE GRILL CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. SELECTING THE GRILL l l l To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the Top Oven/Grill control to the required setting. The Top Oven/Grill neon will illuminate. It may turn on and off during cooking. At lower settings the grill may turn on and off over time and you may prefer to use these settings for keeping food warm. Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to remove the grill pan handle during grilling. THINGS TO NOTE THE GRILL DOOR MUST BE LEFT OPEN DURING GRILLING. IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED THE TOP OVEN WILL OPERATE. If the grill door is accidentally closed during grilling, a safety device incorporated in the appliance will cut out the grill. The cooling fan will operate. For more details about the cooling fan see page 5. Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as the grill cleans itself. The top oven cannot be operated when the grill is in use. The inner grill element may appear to glow slightly brighter than the outer element. This is quite normal. To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle away from the cut out on the grill pan. THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle. To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan. Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan. Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally beneath the grill. 12 To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking or the carrier shelf can be lifted away from the appliance and rested on a heat resistant work surface.

Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking. Adjust the height of the grilling grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thickness of foods. Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats. Beefburgers Chicken Joints Chops - Lamb l l l l When toasting bread use the shelf in position 1 with the grid in the high position. Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking. The food should be turned over during cooking as required. The times quoted above are given as a guide and should be adjusted to suit personal taste. l NOTE If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number 311479800\6. 13 THE TOP OVEN USES OF THE TOP OVEN The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It is heated by elements in the top and bottom of the oven. It is designed for cooking on one level and for small quantities of food. It gives especially good results if used to cook fruit cakes, sweet or savoury flans or quiche. The top oven is also ideal for use as a warming compartment to warm dishes and keep food hot. Use a temperature setting of 80° - 100°C on the top oven control dial. SELECTING THE TOP OVEN To operate the top oven turn the temperature control to the required setting. Our diagram shows the oven set to150°C. Close the oven door. TO FIT THE TOP OVEN SHELF The shelf should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. THINGS TO NOTE 1. The grill cannot be operated when the top oven is in use. Only the outer part of the top oven element in conjunction with the base element will operate when using the top oven. 2. The top oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will then turn ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained. 3. The cooling fan will operate. For more details about the cooling fan see page 5. 4. Always place plates on the oven shelf to warm. Never place dishes directly on the top oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur. 14 HINTS AND TIPS l l Most cooking should be carried out using an oven shelf positioned in one of the shelf runners. DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly onto the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage may occur. l Larger roasts and casseroles should normally be cooked in the main oven. However, they may be cooked on a flat shelf placed on the base of the top oven provided there is sufficient room for air circulation around the food. Stand dishes on a suitably sized baking tray on the shelf to prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help reduce cleaning. l l The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes will affect the degree of base browning of the food. Enamelware, dark, heavy or non-stick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning. DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a baking tray as this will increase base browning of the food. Because of the smaller cooking space, lower temperatures and shorter cooking times are sometimes required. Be guided by the recommendations on page 18. For economy leave the door open for the shortest possible time, particularly when placing food into a pre-heated oven. l l l l There should always be at least 2.5cm (1") between the top of the food and the element. This gives best cooking results and allows room for rise in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings etc. l When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally on the shelf directly below the element. 15 THE MAIN FAN OVEN USES OF THE MAIN FAN OVEN The oven is heated by an element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan draws air from the oven and the element heats the air which circulates in the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fan oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. Without preheating however, you may find you need to add an extra 5 - 10 minutes on the recommended cooking times. For recipes needing high temperatures, e.g. bread, pastries, scones, soufflés etc., best results are achieved if the oven is preheated first. For best results when cooking frozen or cooked chilled ready meals always preheat the oven first. COOKING TEMPERATURES Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperatures than conventional cooking. Follow the temperatures recommended in the chart on page 18. As a guide reduce temperatures by about 20° - 25°C for your own recipes. BATCH BAKING The fan oven cooks evenly on all shelf levels, especially useful when batch baking. SELECTING THE MAIN OVEN l Turn the main oven temperature control to the required setting. TO FIT THE MAIN OVEN SHELVES The shelves should be fitted with the straight rods uppermost on the frame and the forms towards the back of the oven. If not fitted correctly the anti-tilt and safety stop mechanism will be affected. THINGS TO NOTE 1. The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will turn ON and OFF periodically during cooking showing that the temperature is being maintained. 2. The interior oven light will come ON when the main oven control is turned. 16 HINTS AND TIPS l Arrange the shelves in the required positions before switching the oven ON. Shelves are numbered from the bottom upwards. l DO NOT place dishes or baking trays directly on the oven base as it interferes with the oven air circulation and can lead to base burning: use the lower shelf position. However, non critical dishes may be cooked on the oven base when more space is required. l When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven, place dishes centrally on different shelves rather than cluster several dishes on one shelf, this will allow the heat to circulate freely for the best cooking results. When batch baking one type of food, e.g. Victoria sandwich cakes, those of similar size will be cooked in the same time. l l The use of excessively high temperatures can cause uneven browning. It may be necessary to reduce temperatures slightly. Refer to the recommendations given in the oven cooking chart see page 18. l It is recommended that when baking larger quantities, the shelf positions should be evenly spaced to suit the load being cooked. A slight increase in cooking time may be necessary. 17 OVEN COOKING CHART The oven temperatures are intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the temperature by 10° C to suit individual preferences and requirements.

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. 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. It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the defrost function. ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE THAWED THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING. ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAWING. SELECTING DEFROST l l l Turn the main oven temperature control to the defrost setting. When defrost is selected, the oven indicator neon may come ON. It will stay on until the oven reaches room temperature and then go OFF. It may turn ON and OFF periodically during defrosting to maintain steady room temperature. HINTS AND TIPS l Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process. THINGS TO NOTE Care must always be taken when handling foods in the home. Always follow the basic rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial and microbial growth and cross contamination when defrosting, preparing cooking, cooling and freezing foods. l l 20 The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days. 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 AND CLEANING 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 should also be avoided to prevent damaging the stainless steel painted finishes. See 'Cleaning the Outside of the Appliance' on page 22. When replacing hotplate burner parts 1. Crown to body (Do not try to force the crown on to the body). Make sure that the hole in the crown is over the electrode. Check that the two longer location pegs sit in the slots in the body. When the crown is in this position let it fall freely on to the body. Check that the crown can be moved slightly from side to side. 2. Cap to crown Place cap centrally on the top of crown (enamel side up). Move sideways and front to back to check the cap is properly fitted. 3. Check for ignition If a burner will not light then you need to check the crown and cap positions. CLEANING THE HOB The hotplate Clean the hotplate top using a mild abrasive such as 'Cif'. Take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If the spark electrodes are damaged the burners will not light. You can remove the pan supports, burner caps and burner crowns to clean them. Again take care not to damage the spark electrodes. If any food spills during cooking you can place the pan on another burner to finish cooking. Then you can remove the dirty parts and clean them before the spill 'burns on'. Clean the burner crowns by soaking them in very hot soapy water. You can remove any stubborn stains by scouring with a soap filled pad such as 'Brillo'. If you look after the burner crowns in this way they will stay reasonably clean. However the surface will dull with time. Aluminium based saucepans can leave shiny metal marks on the pan supports. Clean the pan supports regularly to remove the marks using a mild abrasive like 'Cif' with a soft scourer. For more stubborn marks you can use a soap-filled pad such as 'Brillo'. After cleaning the appliance parts, dry them thoroughly before you put them back. 21 CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials, eg Hob Brite, Brillo pads or scourers on painted or printed finishes as damage may occur. Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven doors and cooker sides using a soft cloth and hot soapy water. CLEANING THE MEAT TIN, GRILL PAN, GRILL PAN GRID AND OVEN SHELVES All removable parts, except the grill pan handle can be washed in the dishwasher. The grill pan, meat tin and oven shelves may be cleaned using a soap impregnated steel wool pad. The grill pan grid should be cleaned using hot soapy water. Soaking first in soapy water will make cleaning easier. CLEANING INSIDE THE OVEN AND GRILL COMPARTMENTS The sides and back of the ovens are coated with Stayclean enamel surfaces. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE ANY OF THE CONTROL KNOBS FROM THE APPLIANCE AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. The Stayclean surfaces inside the ovens should not be cleaned manually. See 'Care of Stayclean Surfaces'. CLEANING THE CONTROL KNOBS AND HANDLES It is strongly recommended that only hot soapy water is used for cleaning the handles and control knobs. ANY OTHER CLEANING MATERIALS WILL DULL THE SURFACE FINISH. Care should be taken, when cleaning, to ensure that all cleaning products are wiped from the control knobs immediately. The vitreous enamel in the grill compartment base and the fan oven base can be cleaned using normal oven cleaners or aerosol oven cleaners with care. Ensure that the manufacturers instructions are followed and that all parts are well rinsed afterwards. Aerosol cleaners must not be used on Stayclean surfaces and must not come into contact with the elements or the door seal as this may cause damage. CARE OF 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. 22 HINTS AND TIPS CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass panels avoid the use of the following: l Household detergents and bleaches l Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans l Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads l Chemical oven pads or aerosols l Rust removers l Bath/Sink stain removers l l l Manual cleaning of Stayclean surfaces is not recommended. Damage will occur if oven sprays or abrasives of any kind are used. Slight discolouration and polishing of the Stayclean surface may occur in time. This DOES NOT affect the Stayclean properties in any way. A good time to allow the oven to run on is after the weekly roast. After removing the roast, turn the oven up to 220°C and allow to run for an hour or so. It is important NOT to allow a build-up of soilage as this can prevent the Stayclean from working. Follow the recommendations below to keep oven soilage to a minimum. Cook at the recommended temperatures. Higher temperatures during roasting will increase soilage. Try cooking at lower temperatures for an increased length of time, you will save energy and often the joint is more tender. 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. l l CLEANING BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER DOOR GLASS The outer door glass is removable for cleaning. TO REMOVE THE OUTER 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. l l l Please note that the door glass on your product may differ in type and shape from that shown in the diagram. 3. Hold the door glass securely in place with one hand before removing the screws completely with the other hand. 4. Using both hands, gently tilt the top of the door glass towards you, lift slightly to disengage the locators from the two bottom brackets. 5. Clean the outer and inner glass using hot soapy water or Hob Brite may be used with care. DO NOT use Hob Brite on the Stainless Steel or painted finishes. DO NOT try to clean the foil which is inside the door. The foil is there to help keep the door cool, if it is damaged it will not work. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dry before attempting to replace the outer door. 23 TO REPLACE THE OUTER GLASS 1. Holding the door panel with both hands, gently place the locators into the holes of the brackets at the bottom of the oven door. 2. Push the top of the oven door panel towards the oven door, ensuring the screw location holes line up. 3. Hold the panel in place with one hand and insert the cross head screws into the location holes with the other hand. Give the screws one turn to ensure the glass is secure. 4. Tighten the screws positively with a Pozidrive screwdriver before closing the oven door. Do not attempt to use the oven without the outer panel being in place. 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. REPLACING THE OVEN LIGHT BULB The type of bulb required is a 300°C 25 watt small Edison Screw. Part number 572 491 5431-00/1. (Available through Service Force Centres). CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING THE BULB. Open door and remove the shelves to enable easy access to the oven light assembly. Insert a flat blade screwdriver between the oven side and the glass which covers the bulb. Support the glass with your hand and prise out sufficiently to release the glass cover. Unscrew the bulb in an anticlockwise direction until it is possible to remove the bulb with ease. Fit the new bulb by turning in a clockwise direction until it is secure. Ensuring the indent to the flange is pointing to the rear of the oven, replace the glass by pushing it firmly into the hole to cover the bulb assembly. Replace the shelves. Restore the electricity supply and adjust the time of day and clock as necessary. TO CLEAN THE INNER GLASS DOOR PANELS Clean the inner door glass panels using a soft cloth and hot water to which a little washing up has been added. If the inner panel is heavily soiled, Hob Brite may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaning materials on the door glass. Ensure that all parts are well rinsed and thoroughly dried before attempting to replace the glass. 24 SOMETHING NOT WORKING?
