BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the appliance and can be seen upon opening the 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.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for 10 – 15 minutes at 220oC 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.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon does not operate as the instructions indicate the controls have been incorrectly set. Return all controls to zero and reset following the instructions for the required setting.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to escape. However, always stand back from the appliance when opening the door(s) 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 discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, 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.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance:

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

1 straight shelf for grilling

2 straight shelves

for main oven cooking

THE CERAMIC HOB

USING THE HOB

To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in either direction to vary the heat setting.

The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting.

RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS

Only saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are recommended. The saucepan base should be approximately the same size as the cooking area.

Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to remove edges and take off any deposits left from manufacture.

Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases are available and do comply with the above recommendations.

NOTE:

Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being used. This is due to a safety device which prevents the glass from overheating.

Some switching ON and OFF when cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal, causes no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.

Excessive switching may however be caused by the use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which is smaller than the heated area. If excessive switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.

HINTS AND TIPS

Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn on.

Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings.

Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not be used.

Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered with a saucepan.

Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean and dry before the start of cooking.

Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to keep the hob looking like new.

If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g. jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the hob before it sets and becomes hard otherwise damage to the hob will occur.

THE GRILL

WARNING – Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use. Keep children away.

USING THE GRILL

To operate the grill open the grill door and turn the grill control in either direction.

The highest number represents the hottest setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting.

Setting 5 represents the grill on Full.

At lower settings the grill may turn on and off over time and you may prefer to use these settings for keeping food warm. The food will however continue to cook gently if the grill is used for this purpose.

THINGS TO NOTE

Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as the grill cleans itself.

The grill door must be left open when grilling.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan has a removable handle.

To insert the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot slightly upwards inserting the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Move the handle towards the left, lower into position and release the button.

Ensure the handle is properly located.

To remove the handle, press the button on the handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly upwards and towards the right to remove from the bracket.

Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handle.

Always remove the grill pan handle during grilling.

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to food during cooking.
