2. PRECA UTION T O BE TAKEN IN USE

Please read your «Instructions for Use» manual
carefully and keep it safely: it has been written in
order to allow you to use your cooker in the optimum
manner.

● Before using your cooker for the first time, please

heat up the oven, while empty, so as to burn off the
smell of the insulation as well as the protective
greases utilised during manufacture:

- Lift the lid,

- Remove the protective film as well as the self­adhesive labels,

- Remove the publicity stickers,

- Set the oven temperature control to its maximum
position and heat the oven for 30 minutes, then
setting to the grill position, for another 10 minutes,
approximately .
During this operation, your cooker will give off
smoke.
The room should be suitably aerated so as to
reduce the smell and the smoke density.

● T ake the precaution of w ashing the oven accessories

(Grill, Pastry Tray, Drip Tray).

● In use, a gas cooker unit produces both heat and

humidity within the room where it is installed. Please
ensure that the kitchen is properly aerated: keep the
natural aeration openings open, or a mechanicjÊ
aeration device should be installed.

● Intensive or prolonged use of the cooker could

necessitate additional aeration, by opening a
window, or via more efficient aeration, for example,
by increasing the power of the mechanical ventilator ,
should one be installed.

● Your cooker has been designed solely for culinary

use, and not for any other purpose.

● Never pull your cooker via the door handle.

● The outer surfaces of your cook er become hot both

when using the oven and during its cleaning
sequence. Please keep children well away.

● Do not store either maintenance products or

inflammable products in the drawer.

● Never place aluminium foil directly into contact with

the sole plate as this could damage the enamel
surface.

● Never use the drip tray as a roasting dish.

● Please take care nev er to leav e anything on the hob

while the burners are in use (tea towels, dish cloths,
aluminium foil, etc.)

● Wipe off any dirt on the surface of the lid before

5. ADVICE ON HOW TO USE YOUR COOKER

5.1 Cooking on the Hob
Burners

Choosing Utensils

Always choose a utensil properly proportioned to the
diameter of the burner being used.

● 12 to 22 cm (5 to 9 inches) in diameter for the Medium

Speed Burners, located at the left- and rightrear
positions.

● 16 to 26 cm (6 to 10 inches) in diameter for the

HighSpeed Burner, located at the front-left position.

● 8 to 16 cm (3 to 61/2 inches) in diameter for the

Auxiliary Burner, at the front-right position.

When you have to use a utensil with a wide base
(Steriliser, Boiler, Preserving Pan, Couscous Steamer,
etc.). position it so that it is slightly displaced towards the
rear of the Hob, in orderthatthe base of the utensil does
not protrude over the front edge of the Enamelled Hob.
This will avoid the flame spilling over and overheating the
control panel.

Correct Burner matching

Poor burner matching

(energy is wasted)

For proper Burner Ignition

● Please ensure that you keep the burner rings

scrupulously clean. Any dirt on these could be the
cause of poor ignition.

● If you dismantle a burner for cleaning, before

attempting to light it please ensure that:

- the burner rings are sitting in a stable position on
the burners, and

- that the bumer crowns are in place.

Before closing the lid, please ensure that the
upper part of the hob has cooled, in order to
not damage the lid.

88

5.2 Cooking in the Oven

Preheating should be carried out with the knob in the
position selected for cooking:

- around 8 minutes for positions 1 to 5

- around 15 minutes for positions 6 to 8

For dishes prepared in advance, both reheating and
defreezing should be carried out at the standard cooker
setting.

Our Advice

● The thickness, conductivity and the colour of the

cooking utensil can each influence the cooking
results.

● In order to take account of anything projecting widely ,

for roasts, you should use utensils with high sides,
in proportion to the joint to be roasted.

● Prick the skins of fowl and sausages with a fork

before cooking. Doing this will prevent the skin
ballooning up and bursting.

● During cooking, certain dishes inflate or rise.

Consequently, you should choose a cake tin or
soume mould that will leave one third free abov e the
raw preparation,

● Fire-proof glass dishes should be reserved for

cheese-topped dishes - gratins and souffles.

● Add the fat or oil just before the end of the cooking

period.

The influence of the cooking utensil on
the cooking results

You should be aware that:
A Aluminium, earthenware dishes, oven-prool

dishware, diminish the colour of the lower part of
the dish and conserve moisture in the food. We
advise their use for soft pastry, cooking cheese
(topped) dishes and roasts.

B Enamelled cast cookware, tin-plate, glass and

fireproof porcelain, dishes with a non-stick inner
surface and a coloured outer surface, will increase
the colouring of the lower part of the dish and tend
to dry out the food.We advise their use for tarts, pies,
quiches and any crusty dishes which should be
browned as much below as above.

You find that What shall I do ?

The lower part is too light Use an utensil

The dish is insufficiently of type B

cooked

The crust is too brown or

position the untensil

one slot lower

The lower part is too brown Use an utensil

Over-cooked of type A

The crust is too light

or

● A sheet of aluminium foil interposed between the

dish and the grill support will protect the sole plate
should anything overflo w. This sheet of f oil does not
need to cover the whole grill surface.

Never place aluminium foil directly in contact
with the sole plate since this could damage
the enamel.
When the oven is being used, the lid should
be in the raised position.

position the untensil

one slot higher

89

5.3 Cooking with the Grill

Cooking is a radiant heat process. Only the grill element
in the roof is heated. This cooking method is used to grill
pieces of meat (rib of beef, pork rib, etc.) which remain
tender, to brown toasts, or pre-cooked foods, preferably
still warm (gratins- macaroni cheese, etc.).

Whenever you are cooking with the grill on, /;\
this must be done under your direct
supervision, with the oven door partly open,
the protective screen in position and the lid
raised.

Grills

● Prepare the item to be grilled, lightly grease it on

both sides.

● Place it directly on the dish support grid.

● Install the protective screen.

● Set the oven/grill Control Knob to the position.

● Slide the drip tray into the dish support grid rails.

● Slide these into either slot 3 or slot 4, depending on

the thickness of the food to be cooked.

● Slot 3 is to be preferred for thinner pieces of food

(toasts, pork ribs, sausages, smaller fish, etc.).

● Slot 4 is to be preferred for thicker pieces of food

(rib of beef, larger fish, chicken pieces).

● When the first side is browned, turn it over, without

pricking it, so as not to lose the juices.

● Grill the second side.

● Add salt when cooking is finished.

● Cooking time is deterrnined in relationship to

thickness rather than by weight.

7. CLEANING

7.1 Cleaning the Hob

Before starting to clean your cooker, please check that
each of the Control Knobs is set to the OFF position and
you should wait for the cooker to cool.

Cleaning the Lid:

This should be cleaned with a wet sponge and a mild
detergent, then rinsed and dried.

The Enamelled Grills:

These should be washed in hot water with some mild
detergent, then rinsed and dried.

Burners (Crowns and Rings):

The Crowns should be washed in hot water with some
mild detergent. Please ensure that the burner rings are
kept scrupulously clean. Any dirt on these could be the
cause of poor ignition.

When you dismantle the burner rings for cleaning, before
again attempting to ignite the gas, please ensure that
both the burner rings and the bumer crowns are properly
positioned and dry.

The upper part of the Cooker Hob

Each time this is used, it should be wiped with a sponge
moistened with luke-warm water with a mild detergent.
You should avoid allowing anything to drip into the Hob
orifices.
Then it should be rinsed and dried with a soft cloth.
Where spills have occurred, moisten and allow to soak,
but these should never be scraped, nor should any
abrasive product be used, since this could scratch and
damage the enamelled surface.

The Control Panel and the Control Knobs:

For this, a sponge slightly moistened with soapy water
should be used. Then, carefully rinse and dry.

Oven Door, Drawer and Sides:

7.2 Cleaning of the oven with
enamel coating

Principle:

Cleaning of the smooth and shiny enamel oven walls
should be done manually.

Regular maintenance:

After preparing meat dishes, the oven walls should be
cleaned by means of a sponge and a detergent in order
to remove possible fat splashes. By doing so, the oven
will produce less steam when using it the next bme and
it will remain clean for a longer period. Soils from
overboiling on the bottom plate can be eliminated more
easily if the bottom plate is removed from the oven.

Long-term maintenance:

Use only appropriate products available on the market.

7.3 Cleaning the Catalytic

Enamel Oven

The principles

All the walls of your oven (except the sole plate) are
coated with a special (porous) enamel. This can be
recognised by its matt appearance and it being rough to
the touch.
This surface absorbs and destroys grease splashes
under the action of heat.

Maintenance

When cooking gives rise to a great deal of grease
splashing (fowl, grills, etc.), either the cooking period or
the temperature could be insufficient to eliminate all
these greases. When this occurs, after cooking, set the
Control Knob to its maximum setting then allow to heat,
with the oven emptied of all the accessories, for 45
