OVEN TIMER OPERATION
Note: Timer must be set to ‘Time of Day’ and ‘Manual’ before the oven
can be used.
AUTOMATIC COOKING
The Oven can be controlled by the Automatic Timer.
HINTS ON AUTOMATIC COOKING
1. Select foods which will require the same cooking time and temperature.
2. To ensure food does not cool down and require reheating, set the end time so
the food is ready when you require it.
3. Always ensure that meat and poultry is defrosted before placing in the oven.
4. Whenever possible, take food out of the refrigerator and keep it as cool as
possible.
5. If cooking food that requires frying before placing in the oven for automatic
cooking, keep the delay time to a minimum.
6. Never place hot or warm food in the oven for delay start cooking as it could
cause the oven to be warm and produce harmful bacteria in the food.
7. We advise that dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat, e.g.
Shepherd's Pie, should not be cooked automatically if there is to be a delay
period.
8. Ensure that delay start times are kept to a minimum to prevent bacterial growth in
food.
9. Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during the delay period so
it is best to add these ingredients just before serving.
10. Foods which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or tossing in
water to which lemon juice has been added, prior to placing food in the oven.
11. Dishes containing liquid should not be filled too full to prevent boiling over.
12. Food should be well sealed (but not airtight) in a container to prevent the loss
of liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a good seal.
13. Always ensure that food is piping hot and cooked thoroughly before serving.
14. Only reheat food once.

GRILLING PROCEDURE
B
❍ ❍
A
Note: DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the grill is in use as
the surfaces get extremely hot.
Step 1 Ensure oven timer is set to manual.
Ensure the oven shelf is in the correct position (see Guide to Grilling
Successfully).
Ensure door is in the grilling position (see grilling page)
Step 2 Turn knob (A) clockwise to full or half grill function.
NOTE: Resistance will be felt when turning from fan oven operation to
full / half grill position.
Step 3 Turn knob (B) clockwise to select the Grill Setting (1–6).
(1=Low,
6=High).
NOTE: When using the grill, a gentle flow of air will be detected coming
from beneath the control panel.
Step 4 After use, turn both controls A & B to their off (0) position and close
the oven door.
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. Creda have developed a Solar Plus
high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less
time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes preheat before food is placed
beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solar Plus grill can be used directly from cold without
any pre-heat. However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by preheating the grill
for about 1 minute.
You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops you from touching
live parts, so under no circumstances should objects be inserted into the mesh. During use the
mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill is still on. Turn the cooker off
at the control unit and wait until it has cooled down before cleaning.
Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted.
Do not store the grill pan handle on the grill pan grid when the rod shelf is in the top runner
position.
Do not line the grill pan with aluminium foil, as this increases the amount of fat spitting.
Ensure that the grill pan is cleaned after use. Excess fat build up in the bottom of the pan could
cause a fire hazard.
After use, always return both controls to their OFF (O) position.

Oven
USING THE OVEN FOR FAN COOKING
Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly, and generally cooks food at a lower
temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For guides on “pre-
heating”, “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times”, see “Oven Temperature Charts” later in
book.
NOTE: Charts are a guide only, to suit personal taste and requirements, it may be necessary to
increase or decrease temperatures by 10˚C. It may also be necessary to increase or decrease
cooking times.
OVEN SHELF POSITIONING FOR FAN OVEN
Most foods will cook satisfactorily on any shelf position, due to even distribution
of heat in the oven, but the shelves must be evenly spaced.
Food or utensils should never be placed directly on the floor of the oven
for cooking as air circulation is restricted.
DO NOT allow young children near to the appliance when the oven is in use as the surfaces get
extremely hot.
OVEN UTENSILS
Do not use:
Meat pans larger than 375mm x 300mm (15” x 12”)
Baking Trays larger than 325mm x 250mm (13” x10”)
An additional oven shelf can be purchased from your oven supplier if a third one is
required for batch baking. Never use more than three shelves in the oven as air
circulation will be seriously restricted.
TEMPERATURE & TIME
If three shelves are in use to cook large quantities of food, it may be necessary to
increase the cooking times given in the temperature charts by a few minutes, to
allow for the loss of heat due to extra time taken to load the oven, and the larger
mass of food. Baking trays should have an even gap around the oven.

Oven
USING THE OVEN FOR FAN COOKING
FAN OVEN OPERATION
B
❍ ❍
A
Step 1 Ensure oven timer is set to manual.
Ensure that the oven shelf is in the correct position.
Place food centrally on the shelf ensuring the oven door is fully closed.
Step 2 Turn knob (A) clockwise and select the required cooking temperature .
The pilot light (G) will immediately come on, and remain on until the oven
reaches the required temperature. The light will then automatically go off
and on during cooking as the oven thermostat maintains the correct
temperature.
Step 3 After use turn control (A) to its Off (O) position.
NOTE: At the end of a cooking period there may be a momentary puff of
steam when the door is opened. This will disperse in a few seconds and is a perfectly
normal characteristic of an oven with a good door seal.
19
USING THE OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS
“SLOW” SETTING
E
90
This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short
periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged
in a hot oven.
DO NOT place food or plates directly on the oven floor as this could damage both the oven lining
and the plates which are being warmed.
ADVANTAGES OF SLOW COOKING ARE:
The oven stays cleaner because there is less splashing.
Timing of food is not as critical, so there is less fear of overcooking.
Inexpensive joints of meat are tenderised.
Fully loading the oven can be economical.
Cooking times can be extended in some cases by up to 2 hours.
The kitchen stays cooler.
OPERATION:
1.
2.
Place the prepared food in the main oven and ensure the door is fully closed.
Turn knob A to (slow cooking temperature).
E
90
STORAGE & RE-HEATING OF FOOD:
1.
If food is to be frozen or not used immediately, place it in a clean container
and cool as soon as possible.
2.
3.
4.
Always thaw frozen food completely in the refrigerator before re-heating.
Always reheat food thoroughly and ensure it is piping hot before serving.
Only re-heat food once.
POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN PREPARING FOOD FOR SLOW COOKING
1.
Make sure that the dishes to be used will fit into the oven ensuring enough
room for air to circulate.
2.
All dishes cooked on the slow setting will require a minimum of 6 hours,
however, it they are cooked for 1-2 hours longer then deterioration in their
appearance may be noticed.
3.
4.
Never cook joints of meat over 2.7kg (6 lb) or poultry over 2.0kg (4lb 8oz).
We do not recommend that joints of meat or poultry are stuffed before cooking
on the slow setting.
To seal in the meat juices, always cook meat or poultry at 170˚C for 30
minutes before wrapping in foil and placing on a rack over a tin (to allow good air
circulation) before turning the control to the slow setting and cooking
immediately.
5.
6.
Always ensure that joints of pork and poultry are thoroughly cooked by checking
with a meat thermometer before serving.
Always thaw frozen foods completely before cooking. We do not recommend
placing frozen food in the oven to cook.
7.
8.
Always bring soups, liquids and casseroles to the boil before placing in the oven.
Ensure that casserole dishes have a good seal (not airtight) and cover to the top
with foil to prevent loss of moisture.
9.
Ensure that fruit and vegetables are cut into even sized small pieces to cook
properly.
10.
11.
Always adjust seasoning before serving.
If using dried red kidney beans it is important that the beans are soaked and
then boiled for a minimum of 10 minutes before using in any dish to destroy any
toxins.
12.
When cooking fish or egg dishes it may be necessary to check during cooking to
avoid overcooking.

COOKING RESULTS NOT SATISFACTORY
GRILL
Uneven cooking front to back
Ensure that the grill pan is positioned centrally
below the grill element.
Fat splattering
Ensure that the grill pan is not lined with foil.
Ensure that the grill setting is not too high.
Remember to use the anti - splash tray.
BAKING GENERAL
Uneven rising of cakes
Sinking of cakes
Ensure that the oven shelves are level.
The following may cause cakes to sink:
1. Pre-heating of fan ovens – not always necessary.
2. Cooking at too high a temperature – reduce
standard temperatures by 25˚C for fan ovens.
3. Using normal creaming method with a soft
margarine. If using soft margarine, use an all in
one method instead of the traditional creaming of
the margarine and sugar. Remember when using a
food mixer or processor not to over-cream soft
margarine.
Over/undercooking
Refer to the cooking times and temperatures given in
the Oven Temperature Charts provided, however, it
may be necessary to increase or decrease temperatures
by 10˚C to suit personal taste.

CARE AND CLEANING
Warning: Before cleaning, please ensure that the electricity supply to the appliance is switched off
and the appliance is fully cold.
1. “CREDACLEAN” OVEN LINERS
(a) How "Credaclean" works.
The surfaces of the "Credaclean" oven liners are
treated with a special vitreous enamel which absorbs
cooking soils. At temperatures of 220˚C (425˚F) or above,
the special surface enables these soils to be slowly
destroyed.
The higher the temperature the more effective it is.
(b) Cleaning.
In most cases normal cooking operations at 220˚C (425˚F)
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 ovens without shelves or meat
pan, at a maximum setting for a couple of hours. It should
not normally be necessary to clean the "Credaclean"
panels with water.
MAIN OVEN SIDE LINERS
AND REAR PANEL
If the user feels it is desirable to do so, wipe them over
with a clean, soapy cloth, followed by a wipe with a
clean damp cloth.
DO NOT use biological washing powder, harsh abrasives or
chemical oven cleaners of any kind as this could damage the
“Credaclean” oven liners.
25
CARE AND CLEANING
2. CLEANING THE OVEN
(a) Base of Main Oven.
Wipe out the oven with a damp soapy cloth. For
more stubborn stains on the base of the oven use a
well soaped fine steel wool soap pad.
REMOVABLE GRILL ROOF PANEL (NOT
ALL MODELS OR MODELS FITTED WITH
HIGH SPEED GRILL)
(b) Grill/Meat Pan & Oven Shelves.
To prevent stains from being burnt on to the grill pan,
food support and rod shelf, always wash immediately
after use in hot soapy water.
Use a well soaped fine steel wool soap pad to remove
stubborn stains from the rod shelves, grill/meat pan and
the base of the oven.

DOOR
Regularly wipe with a clean, damp cloth and polish with a
clean, dry cloth.
(b) Trims
It is advisable to clean the trims 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 clean, 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 clear water, dry with a clean, soft cloth.
(c) Inner Door Panels & Glass
Open the door fully. The glass panel may now be washed.
Stubborn stains can be removed by using a well soaped,
fine steel wool soap pad.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
This equipment is designed specifically for domestic purposes and Creda Limited cannot
accept responsibility if used in any other type of installation.
All Creda oven units are suitable for installation under Creda hob units.
This appliance must not be installed over any appliance that generates heat.
For your own safety, we recommend that your appliance is installed by a competent per-
son – such as one who is registered with NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical
Installation Contracting). The cooker should be installed in accordance with the latest
Edition of the IEE Regulations.
1. GENERAL
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
(a) The oven unit is designed for mounting at a safe level into an oven housing
which must be secured to the backing wall, or alternatively, in the case of the
single oven unit, under a worktop with or without a hob unit above.
(b) In an oven/hob arrangement where it is proposed to install the oven directly
below the hob. It is advisable that only slimline hobs are used which have the
following maximum depths.
Maximum hob depth
Kitchen Worktop thickness
(from worktop surface vertically down)
30mm

It is most important that the hob installation instructions are strictly
observed.
29
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2. OVEN UNIT HOUSING CABINETS
(a) The oven unit housing cabinet dimensions must comply with Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.
(b) An air gap of 50mm minimum must be provided at the rear of any top or bottom
cupboards or shelves for ventilation.
(c) Do not obstruct the ventilation slots provided on the oven trim. This is found
adjacent to the bottom of the oven door.
(d) The air gap at the rear allows the warmed air to pass out of the cabinet. If
cabinets extend up to the ceiling, the warm air must be exhausted through to the
front. Fig. 1.
(e) If an oven unit is installed adjacent to a tall cabinet, steam escaping from the oven
when the door is opened could condense on, and perhaps stain the adjacent
surface. To prevent permanent staining, the adjacent surface should be made of a
material that is heat resisting and easy to clean. Adjacent tall cabinets should not be
deeper than the oven housing cabinet.
IMPORTANT
It is essential that the lower cupboard is constructed in the manner illustrated i.e.
having side, back and roof panels so joined as to provide no apertures which could
permit access to the oven unit when installed.
3. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Mains Supply
A 15 amp Double Pole control switch with a minimum contact clearance of 3mm must
be fitted on or recessed in the wall adjacent to the oven housing cabinetry and should
be accessible after installation. If the oven is to be wired into a connector unit this may
be positioned behind the oven providing:–
i. The top of the connector unit is not more than 30cm above the base of the oven
recess – see Fig. 4.
ii. The depth of the connector unit does not reduce the depth of the oven recess to
less than 55cm.
We recommend that 4mm2 twin and earth PVC insulated cable is used to connect the
cooker to the control unit. This power supply cable must conform to BS 6004.
Alternatively the mains supply can be taken from a household 13 amp switched fused
spur. Having a minimum contact clearance of 3mm which must be fitted adjacent to the
oven housing cabinetry and accessible after installation. The oven must be fitted with a
3 core cable having a minimum cross sectional area of 1.5mm2 and must conform to
BS6500.
The oven must not be connected using a 3 pin 13 amp plug.
30
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Any spare cable must be coiled either behind the oven (not more than 30cm above the base of
the oven recess) or pushed into the air gap below the oven after installation.
Where a hob is fitted adjacent to or above an oven a 30 amp or 45 amp double pole switch with
a minimum contact clearance of 3mm should be used to feed both units via separate suitably
rated cables.
Where a hob unit is fitted above the oven unit we recommend that 85oC High Temperature PVC
with insulated 3 core flexible cord to table 15 of BS 6141:1991 with a conductor size of 2.5mm2
must be used to connect the hob to the control unit.
Where a hob unit is fitted adjacent to the oven unit, then 4mm2 twin and earth cable to BS 6004
is recommended to connect the hob unit to the control unit.
In all cases adhere to routing details (see fig. 5).
Your cooker should have been checked to ensure that the voltage corresponds with your supply
voltage, this is stated on the rating plate which is located on the oven front frame (lower).
CONDUIT BOX TO MAINS TERMINAL BLOCK
(a) The oven unit should be placed on the floor on its carton base in front of the housing
cabinet. The rear of the unit should be in line with the conduit box.
(b) Ensure there is sufficient cable for any future servicing.
(c) Remove the terminal cover. Prepare the cable, pass it through the cable entry hole in
the oven rear panel and fit to terminal block. Secure the cable clamp and replace the
terminal cover.
4. FINAL INSTALLATION
(a) Using a spirit level, check that the housing cabinet is level from side to side and from
front to back in its installed position.
(b) Correct any unevenness by placing spacers under the bottom of the cabinet.
Make sure that the cabinet rests firmly on the floor without rocking.
(c) Before the oven is fitted the cabinet must be firmly secured to the backing wall for
stability.
(d) The oven unit should now be lifted (this requires two people) into the cabinet and
pushed fully home.
(e) Finally the oven unit must be secured to the cabinet. Position the oven side trims
equally about the cabinet sides. This should give an overlap of approx. 1.5mm per side
(see Fig. 2). Secure the oven unit to the cabinet, through the side trims, by means of
the four screws provided, two each side trim.
(f) Remove all packing material from the grill and oven interior.
