Installing Your Cooker  
Connecting the cooker  
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED  
The Baby Belling 121R is designed to operate from a 13A socket outlet.  
If the cooker is not already fitted with a plug proceed as follows:  
IMPORTANT:  
The cooker must be connected to the supply by a properly earthed 3-pin plug  
(minimum capacity 13 Amp). If a BS1363 fused plug is used it should be fitted  
with a 13 Amp fuse ASTA or BSI approved to BS1362.  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following  
code:  
Green and Yellow  
Blue  
Brown  
Earth  
Neutral  
Live  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not  
correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed  
as follows:  
1. The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the  
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol  
or coloured green, or green and yellow.  
2. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is  
marked with the letter N or coloured black.  
3. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which  
is marked with the letter L or coloured red.  
If you are not sure how to connect your cooker please consult a competent  
electrician.  
Warning!  
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid  
touching heating elements inside the oven.  
The cooker may already be fitted with a non-rewirable plug. If this is not of the  
correct type for the sockets in your home it must be cut off and the correct  
type fitted. If it is cut off it must be disposed of safely. There is a danger of  
electric shock if it is inserted into a socket.  
To replace the fuse in a non-rewirable plug, simply prise out the fuse carrier,  
fit an appropriate replacement fuse, (13 Amp, ASTA or BSI approved to BS1  
362) and replace the fuse carrier. Never use the plug without the fuse carrier  
fitted. If the fuse carrier is lost, a replacement can be obtained from your  
nearest Belling Spares Distributor, or most Electricity Company shops. The  
replacement fuse carrier will be identified by either colour coding to match the  
plug, or by markings on the fuse carrier and the plug. Make sure that a correct  
replacement is fitted.  
This appliance has been approved by the British Electrotechnical Approvals  
Board to the latest European safety standards.

For Your Own Safety  
When used properly your Baby Belling Cooker is completely safe, but as with any  
electrical appliance there are some precautions you must take in its use.  
Never ...  
allow anyone except an authorised Belling Service Agent to service or repair your  
cooker.  
remove any part of the cooker other than those intended in normal use, or attempt  
to modify the cooker in any way.  
allow young children to operate or play with the cooker.  
use a chip pan or deep fat fryer more than 1/3 full of oil, or use a lid while frying,  
and do not leave a fryer unattended while cooking.  
operate the grill with the oven door closed. This may cause overheating of the  
cooker.  
line the shelf, floor, or sides of the oven, or the radiant ring hob spillage tray with  
aluminium foil as overheating and damage may result.  
place anything which might catch fire, such as towels or tea towels, on the hob or  
elements, even when the cooker is not in use.  
use an asbestos mat, trivet or rack of any kind under pans on the hob.  
store anything which might catch fire in the oven.  
Always . . .  
take care when touching any part of the cooker which may be hot. Use oven  
gloves when removing or replacing food or dishes.  
stand back when opening the oven door to allow any build-up of heat or steam to  
disperse.  
keep the oven door closed when not in use to prevent accidents, but remember  
that the oven door must be kept open when grilling to prevent overheating.  
make sure that the roof, floor, and shelf are fitted correctly before using the oven or  
grill.  
keep your cooker clean, as a build-up of grease or fat from cooking may be a fire  
hazard.  
switch off at the mains supply before cleaning your cooker.  
supervise children and pets, particularly when grilling, as exposed parts of the grill  
may become hot.  
use suitable pans for the hob, and make sure that they are stable.  
keep handles away from the edge of the hob and any heat. For added safety you  
should consider using a suitable hob guard.  
make sure that all the controls are switched off when you finish cooking.  
remember that your cooker may stay hot for a time even after you have finished  
cooking.  
Before Cooking  
Before you cook for the first time , we recommend that you switch on each element  
in turn to burn off any odours remaining from manufacture. Simply operate each  
hob element and the grill on maximum for a few minutes, and the oven for about 30  
minutes.

Oven + selector  
To allow the Baby Belling 121 to operate from a 13 amp socket, the electrical load of  
the cooker is limited by the selector switch. The right hand hob element is switched off  
whenever the oven or grill are selected for use.  
0
This is the ‘off ’ position. When this is selected both hotplate elements can be  
used.  
0 – 245 This is the oven temperature range. When the switch is within this range  
only the oven and left hand hotplate can be used.  
grill  
This is the grill position. When the switch is in this position only the grill and  
left hand hotplate can be used.  
NOTE: The grill output can not be regulated. Therefore food requiring less intense  
heat should be located on a lower shelf position  
The selector switch will not rotate past the Grill position, therefore it can only  
be switched off by rotating anti clockwise  
Using the hob  
Only the left hand hotplate will operate if you are using the grill or oven at the same  
time.  
The hotplate controls can be operated by turning them in either direction until the  
desired setting is against the indicator by the control - ‘0’ for off, between 1 and 3 for  
low simmering, and between 4 and 6 for fast simmering and boiling. We  
recommend that pans are brought to the boil on setting 6 (maximum) and then the  
heat reduced as necessary.  
Using the grill  
The grill/oven roof should be removed regularly for cleaning, but must always be  
replaced before the grill or oven is used. A dirty grill roof can cause the grill to smoke  
when it is used. When grilling, the oven door must be fully open to prevent  
overheating.

Controls  
Oven/grill pan and grid  
To obtain the best results, always use the wire grid when grilling. This will  
ensure that foods do not cook in their own fats and will prevent any distortion  
of the grill pan. It can be used either way up to position the food nearer to or  
further away from the grill element. The grill pan is usually used in the middle  
position in the oven for grilling. To avoid burning or excessive smoking and  
spitting, make sure that the food is not too close to the grill element. Always  
use an oven glove when replacing the grill pan.  
Grill control  
Select the grill position on the selector switch. Only the grill and the left hand  
hob element will operate with the selector switch in this position.  
We recommend that the grill is preheated for at least five minutes before  
placing the food under the grill. After sealing the surface of the food educe  
the heat as required. Remember to keep the oven door open when grilling or  
preheating.  
Using the oven  
Never operate the oven without the grill/oven roof and the oven floor in  
position. Make sure that the oven shelves are pushed fully in to the oven  
before closing the oven door, and close the door gently. In some conditions  
steaming around the oven door may occur. This is perfectly normal and does  
not indicate any fault with the oven door or seal. Do not place heavy loads on  
the oven door when it is open.  
Oven shelf  
Oven pans  
The three runner positions and shelf give a variety of cooking positions in the  
oven. The shelf is cranked, and can be used either way up to give  
intermediate heights. Do not place food or empty dishes on the floor of the  
oven during cooking. The shelf simply slides in and out. Be careful, when  
pulling the shelf out with food on it, that you do not pull it out to far.  
To obtain the best results make sure that any pans or baking sheets that you  
may use have a gap of at least 25mm (1 “) around them in the oven.  
When cooking food which might boil over, place the dish on a tray or larger  
dish on the shelf to catch spillage. Do not line any part of the oven, including  
the floor, with aluminium foil as this can cause damage. You can, of course,  
use foil to cover foods during cooking.  
Oven control  
The control is graduated with the main cooking temperatures indicated.  
Remember that you may select any position between those indicated if you  
so wish. Turn the switch until the desired temperature is set. The neon  
indicator will stay alight until the desired temperature is reached,  
(approximately 20 minutes depending on the selected temperature), when it  
will go out. The neon indicator will then continue to go on and off as the  
thermostat maintains the oven temperature automatically.

Care of your cooker  
In the interests of both safety and hygiene your Belling Cooker needs to be kept  
clean. A build-up of grease or fat from cooking could cause a fire hazard.  
WARNING! For your own safety, always switch off your cooker at the mains  
supply before cleaning.  
Never use excessive amounts of water to clean your cooker, and remember that your  
cooker is heavy - take care when pulling it out for access.  
Cooker exterior  
The outside surfaces of your cooker should be cleaned with a mild detergent or mild  
cream cleanser and a little water. Wipe off the detergent with a damp cloth and dry the  
cooker with a soft lint-free cloth.  
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive detergents, particularly on the control panel, as  
damage may result.  
Hob Elements  
Oven and grill  
Always ensure that the elements are cold before cleaning. To prevent any spillage  
becoming baked on, clean the hob as soon as the hob has cooled, using a mild  
detergent or mild cream cleanser and a little water. You may use a scouring pad on  
the element surface only  
The oven shelf, oven roof, oven floor, and enamel parts of the oven can be cleaned  
using household cream cleanser with a nylon pad or sponge. Heavier soiling may  
require the use of a proprietary oven cleaner or steel wool pad, but do not allow these  
to contact the door seals or plastic parts of the cooker.  
Only use oven cleaners which carry the Vitreous Enamel Development Council’s  
Approvals symbol,  
and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.  
To remove the oven roof or oven floor, simply slide it forward out of the oven.  
Remember never to operate either the oven or grill without the roof and floor in  
position. When replacing the floor and the roof make sure that they are correctly  
located in their guides.  
Suitable pans  
To get the best results when cooking on the hob, it is important to use the correct size  
and type of pans. Using unsuitable pans can cause overheating of the hob, slow and  
inefficient cooking, and poor cooking results.  
The pans should be approximately the same diameter as the hotplate. Using- too small  
a pan may result in boiling over and it wastes heat, but never use pans with a base  
larger than 250mm (10”) in diameter. Too large a pan can cause overheating and may  
damage the hob enamel. Never use a pan that covers two rings, such as a large fish  
kettle.  
The base of the pan needs to make good contact with the hotplate, to allow  
maximum heat transfer. For this reason, use pans with a flat base - not bowed or  
ridged, or with a rim (like some kettles). A new pan may not necessarily be flat. You  
can check by holding a straight edge such as a ruler against the bottom of the pan.  
The ruler should touch all the way across, with only a small gap allowed. Scrolled base  
pans (ground like a spiral) should be suitable.  
For best results use the larger ring for frying and deep frying. Always use a good  
quality pan and never fill a chip pan more than one third full of oil. Never leave any  
frying unattended, even for a short time, If you use a wok, make sure it is flat-  
bottomed. Never use a stand or rack of any kind under any pan on the hob. To avoid  
damage to the hotplates, make sure that the base of any pan is smooth, and always lift  
pans off the hob rather than dragging them. You must never cook any item of food  
directly on the hotplates as it is dangerous and damage to the cooker can result.
