Hints and Tips

This appliance is manufactured according to the following EEC directives: 73/23 EEC - 90/683 EEC - 93/68 EEC 89/336 EEC current edition.

Oven Door Protection Device

All our appliances comply with the European safety standards. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the highest safety level, and avoid little children to be exposed to the heat when the appliance is operated, it is possible to fit a special ptotection device to the oven door. This device can be purchased in our Service Force Centres, specifying the relevant code (35791) and the Product No. shown on the rating plate.

Operation

Ceramic hob cooking zones

To switch on a cooking zone, turn the relevant control knob clockwise to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 0 - 3 0 - OFF 3 - Maximum. The hob has two types of cooking zones:

3 normal cooking zones

We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (3) for a short while to boost the cooking zone, and then adjusted to the required setting.

1 double circuit cooking zone (back right)

The back right cooking zone has two heating elements.

To switch on the smaller circular cooking zone, turn the relevant control knob clockwise to the required heat setting.

To switch on both heating elements, turn the control knob clockwise to maximum heat setting (3) then turn the knob further to nearly reach the "0" symbol. You will hear a "click" and the wider cooking zone will switch on. Then turn back the knob to position 3 and adjust it to the required heat setting. Please consider that the two heating elements will now operate together, giving a higher power output than a normal cooking zone.

If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the cooker from the electrical supply and call you nearest Service Force Centre.

Keep all objects and materials which can melt away from the cooking surface, e.g. plastics, aluminium foil.

Care should be taken when preparing food or drinks containing sugar. If anything of this nature accidentally comes into contact with the ceramic surface it must be scraped off immediately while stlll hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the surface.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the cooking zones are given in the following table.

OFF 0

Very Gentle • Simmering vegetables

Fish in its own juice

Gentle 1 Simmering potatoes or soups

Slow • Boiling large quantities

of food, stews and soups

Medium 2 Slow frying, making a roux

High • Fast frying of meat or fish

Fast 3 Rapid heating up of fat or water

Residual heat indicators

The hob is fitted with four residual heat indicators corresponding to each cooking zone.

The corresponding indicator will remain on until the temperature falls below 30° C, even after the cooking zone is switched off.

When switch on a cooking zone, a short

buzzing may be heard. This is quite normal and does not affect the hob operation in any way.

Energy consumption

To save energy, you should . .

- use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat bottoms.

- place pots and pans in position before switching on the cooking zone.

- wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.

- switch off the cooklng zone a few minutes before the end of the cooking time, in order to make use of the residual heat.

- use the residual heat of the cooking zones for keeping food warm or for melting.

- position pots and pans centrally on the cooking zones.

Saucepans and frying pans

Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller than the cooking zone, and preferably not more than 10-15 mm larger than the diameter of the cooking zone. Always use cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat bottoms. The bottoms should always be clean and dry. Cook with a lid in place. Check that the bases of utensils are smooth and undamaged; bases with burrs and sharp edges will scratch the ceramic glass surface. To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic cooking surface, pots and pans should be moved on the plate by lifting them, and not by sliding. Utensils with aluminium and copper bases can leave behind metallic discolorations which can only be removed with difficulty or sometimes not at all.

Electric Oven

Oven Function Control Knob

Conventional cooking - The heat comes from both the top and bottom element, ensuring even heating inside the oven. Grill - The heat comes only from the top element. Bottom heating element - The heat comes from the bottom of the oven only. Fan cooking - This allows you to roast or roast and bake simoultaneously using any shelf, without flavour transference. Defrost Setting - This setting is intended to assist in thawing of frozen food.
