Replace the nozzles of the hob burners

Every appliance has spare nozzles for every gas.
The whole of every nozzle is marked in
millimetres on the nozzle.

Before any modifications or adapt the
range to a kind of different gas, you must
DISCONNECT the cooker from the electricity
supply and ensure that all control knobs are
in the OFF position, and the appliance has
cooled completely.

Hob burners

• Remove the pan supports;

• Remove the caps and the burner crowns;

• Using a No 7 socket spanner unscrew the

nozzles and replace them with those required
for the type of gas in use (see table

"Specification nozzles").
Reassemble the parts following the same
procedure in reverse.
These burners do not need any primary air
regulation.

Adjustment of minimum level for the hob
burners

The burner is correctly adjusted when the flame
is stable silent and goes out without any noise.
When changing the type of gas check that the
minimum level is correct. The air admission is
correct when the flame is about 4 mm in length.
The top burners do not need adjustment of
primary air.
Check that, turning the knob quickly from the
maximum position to the minimum one, the flame
does not go out.

Hob burners

To adjust the minimum level:

• Light the burner

• Turn the knob to the position of the minimum

flame;

• Remove the knob;

• Unscrew or screw the by-pass screw (below

of tap shaft) until a regular small flame is

reached.

• For LPG screw completely the by-pass

screw.
Reassemble the parts following the same
procedure in reverse.
Check that, when turning the knob quickly from
the maximum position to the minimum one, the
flame does not go out.

USE OF APPLIANCE

Before the First Use of the Oven

Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the oven, before using the
oven.

Before first use, the oven should be heated
without food. During this time, an unpleasant
odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.

1. Remove the oven accessories.

2. Remove any adhesive labels or protective

films, if there are any.

3. Heat the oven the corresponding knob on

position “250” for about 45 min.

This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Clean the accessories with a soft detergent.
Rinse and dry carefully.

Rating Plate

The model number of your cooker can be found
on the rating plate on the lower front frame of
the cooker upon opening the door.
The cooker must be protected by a suitably
rated fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the
cooker is given on the rating plate.

About condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents
allow some of this steam to escape. However,

always stand back from the oven when
opening the oven door 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 oven, e.g. a trim, it
will condense and produce water droplets. This
is quite normal and is not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Cookware

Use any ovenproof cookware, which will
withstand temperatures of 250

Oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly on the oven base.

During cooking in the oven the oven
door is hot. Take care that children do
not play near it.
When using the oven the lid has to be
opened to avoid over-heating.
The glass lid may shatter and could
cause injury.

ELECTRIC OVEN

Oven Function Control Knob

Defrost – (NB: This is NOT a cooking

position). This position is intended to assist in
thawing of frozen foods.

Fan cooking – Thermaflow cooking; this
system will allow you to roast and bake at the
same time with very little flavour transference,
and on any shelf.

Grill and turn spit - The grill cannot be
used at the same time as the oven. The oven

door must be closed when grilling.

Top oven element - enables you to finish
off dishes on the top only.

Bottom oven element- enables you to
finish off dishes on the bottom only.

Conventional cooking – used the top and
bottom element; this function will enable you to
use your favourite recipes without having to
adapt the temperatures. It is necessary to pre­heat the oven in this instance.

Caution

Do not place pans, dripping pans, biscuits pans
or aluminium foil directly on the base of the
oven. This could cause a heat build-up which
could affect the performance of the oven and
damage the oven enamel.

Thermostat Control Knob

By turning the oven control knob clockwise, you
select the cooking temperature.
The temperatures shown here are on the actual
control knob.
Temperature selection starts at 50°C and will
reach approximately 250°C at the centre of the
oven.
The thermostat controlling the temperature is
variable so it is possible to select temperatures
between those marked.
The maximum setting is particularly suitable for
grilling.

Things to note

• Once the oven temperature has been

selected, the oven thermostat pilot light will
come on and remain on until the oven has
reached the correct setting; after that, it will
go on and off with the thermostat, showing
how the temperature is being maintained.

• The oven light will come on when the oven

function control knob is set.

12

USING THE FAN OVEN

The Fan Oven

The air inside the oven is heated by the element
around the fan situated behind the back panel.
The fan circulates hot air to maintain an even
temperature inside the oven.
The advantages of cooking with this function are:

Faster Preheating

Because the fan oven quickly reaches
temperature, it is not usually necessary to
preheat the oven although you may find that you
need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking
times. For recipes, which require higher
temperatures, best results are achieved if the
oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries,
scones, souffles, etc.

Lower Temperatures

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.

Remember to reduce temperatures by about
20- 25°C for your own recipes, which use
conventional cooking.

The fan oven can be used to heat foods through
without thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies,
sausage rolls, and other small pastry items. Use
a temperature of 190-200°C and allow 20-40
minutes (depending on the quantity of food in
the oven).

Only experience will enable you to determine
the proper settings for your personal cooking
needs. The temperatures are intended as a
guide only. It may be necessary to increase or
decrease the temperature to suit your individual
requirements.

The effects of dishes on cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness,
conductivity, colour, etc. which affects the way
they transmit heat to the food inside them:
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware
and bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and
underneath browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,
aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase
cooking and underneath browning.

Even Heating for Baking

The fan oven has uniform heating on all runner
positions. This means that batches of the same
food can be cooked in the oven at the same
time. However, the top shelf may brown slightly
quicker that the lower one.
This is quite usual. There is no mixing of
flavours between dishes .

How to Use the Fan Oven

Turn the oven function control knob to

2. Turn the thermostat control knob to the

required temperature.

HINTS AND TIPS

Runner positions are not critical, but make sure
the shelves are evenly spread.

When cooking more than one dish in the fan
oven, place dishes centrally on the shelves
rather than several dishes on one shelf.
When the oven is full, you may need to allow
slightly longer cooking time.

A shelf may be placed on the floor of the oven.
Place dishes on a shelf in this position rather
than on the oven base, to allow air circulation
around the food.

When the oven is full of the same food, e.g.
equal trays of small cakes or equal size victoria
sandwich cakes, then they will be cooked in the
same time and removed from the oven together.
When different sizes of trays or types of food,
e.g. biscuits and cakes are cooked, they will not
necessarily be ready together.

Defrosting

The defrosting function allows you to defrost
frozen foods. The oven fan operates without
heat and circulates the air, at room temperature,
inside the oven. This increases the rate at which
defrosting takes place.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate
food which could be damaged by heat, e.g.
cream filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries,
bread and other yeast products.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic
film to prevent drying out during defrosting.

• Small or thin pieces of fish fillet or peeled
prawns, mince, liver and thin chops will
defrost in 1-2 hours. Ensure that they are
cooked or refrigerated immediately after
defrosting to maintain good foodhygiene.

• Place the food to be defrosted in a single layer.

• And turn over half way through the defrosting

process, where possible.

• Place the frozen food a single layer where
possible, and turn it over half way through
the defrosting process.

• DO NOT leave food at room temperature
once it is defrosted. Cook raw food
immediately or store cooked food in the fridge.

• Take care to follow the basic rules for
hygiene when handling fresh, frozen, raw
and cooked foods.

Main pilot light

This light will illuminate when the oven function
control knob is set or the hotplate knob is turned
on and remains lit while these are in use.

13

USING THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN

During use the appliance becomes hot.
Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements inside the oven.

When using this setting, heat comes from both
the top and bottom elements. This allows you to
cook on a single level and is particularly suitable
for dishes which require extra base browning
such as quiches and flans. Gratins, lasagnes
and hotpots which require extra top browning
also cook well in the conventional oven.
This form of cooking gives you the opportunity to
cook without the fan in operation.

How to use the conventional oven

• Turn the oven function control knob to the

required cooking function

• Turn the thermostat control knob to the

required temperature.

DO NOT place dishes directly onto the oven
base as it becomes very hot and damage may
occur.
DO NOT use the grill pan or meat tin as a
baking tray as this will increase base browning
of the food.
For economy leave the door open for the
shortest possible time, particularly when placing
food into a preheated oven.

Grilling

When grilling, the accessible parts of
the appliance are hot and the appliance
should not be left unattended. Take care that
children do not play near it.

The grill pan will become hot during
use, always use oven gloves when removing
or replacing a hot grill pan.

All grilling must be carried out with the

oven door closed .

Top oven element only

This function is suitable for finishing cooked
dishes, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower
cheese etc.

Bottom oven element only

This function is particularly useful when blind­baking pastry or cooking pizza. It may also be
used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the
base pastry is cooked through.

Hints and Tips

There should always be at least 2.5cm between
the top of the food and the element. This gives
the best cooking results and allows room for rise
in yeast mixtures, Yorkshire puddings, etc.
When cooking cakes, pastry, scones, bread,
etc., place the tins or baking trays centrally
below element.

Ensure that food is placed centrally on the shelf
andthere is sufficient room around the baking
tray/dish to allow for maximum circulation.

Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to
prevent spillage onto the oven base and to help
reduce cleaning.

The material and finish of the baking tray and
dishes will affect the degree of base browning of
the food.

Enamelware, dark, or heavy utensils increase
base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished
steel trays reflect the heat away and give less
base browning.

To switch on the grill, turn the oven
function control knob to GRILL, then turn the
thermostat knob to the maximum temperature .

Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift
the food out of the fats and juices. Food such as
fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on
the grill pan, if preferred.

Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to
allow for different thicknesses of food.

Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling
to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep
them moist during cooking.

Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.

When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used with the grid in its 'high'
position.

Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few
minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust
the heat setting and the shelf as necessary,
during cooking.

The food should be turned over during cooking,
as required.

NOTE: For safety in use, the grill element is
controlled by the thermostat. During
cooking, the grill cycles on and off to prevent
overheating.

Cooking time depends on the thickness of the
meat and not on its weight.

adjusted to the required setting.

It is important to note that the hotplate
may smoke and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when used for the first
time. This is quite normal and will disappear
after some time.

Do not put anything on the hob that is

liable to melt.

(

)

Above every knob there is a symbol for the
corresponding burner. For good cooking results,
always choose pans, which correctly fit to the
diameter of the burner used (see figs).
Choose thick, flat bottom pots.
We recommend the flame is lowered as soon as
the liquid starts boiling.
For a correct ignition always keep the burner
ring and the spark plugs clean.

The following diameter pans can be used:

Hints and Tips

Saucepans for use on solid hotplates should have
several characteristics:

• They should be fairty heavy duty.

• They should fit the heat area exactly, or be

slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

• They should have a flat base to ensure good

contact with the hotplate. This is particularty
important when using pans for high temperature
frying presure cooking.

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn the hotplate
control knob so that it will barely keep the liqiud
simmering.
You can switch off the hotplate a short while
before you finish cooking, and the final stage will
be completed using the accumulated heat.

Good use

Bad use

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid
liquids being split into the plates. Never
leave the plates on without a pan on
them or with an empty pan on them.

Take care never to lean or reach over a
hot electric plate. Always point pan
handles inward or over the work surface
next to the hob to avoid accidentally
knocking over a pan as you pass by.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or
fat, as the overheated splashes could
easily ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to
turn, please contact your local Service
Force Centre.

Accessories delivered with the appliance

The following accessories are supplied with your
appliance :

• Shelf for placing dishes on (roast, pastry

mounds). The dish should be put in the middle
of the shelf to balance the weight.

• Backing tray

• Roasting tray

It is used to collect juice when cooking in it,

place it on the shelf 2 from low.
If you do not use the roasting tray, remove it from
the oven.

In addition to the accessories supplied we
recommend you only use heatproof
dishes/pans (according to the manufacturer’s
instructions).

Removable drawer

The removable drawer is located underneath the
oven cavity.

During cooking the drawer may
become hot if the oven is in use for a long
period of time. Flammable materials such as
oven gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons etc.
should not be stored in the drawer.

Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will
also become hot, therefore care should be taken
when removing these items from the drawer
whilst the oven is in use or still hot.

To opening

• Catch the drawer from bottom and pull it out.

• To remove the drawer , pull it out till the stop,

than lift it slowly and pull it out completely.

Reassemble the drawer following the same
procedure in reverse.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The oven should be kept clean at all
times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstuffs could result in a fire.
Before cleaning, ensure all control
knobs are in the OFF position, and the
appliance has cooled completely.
Before any maintenance or cleaning
can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.

Cleaning materials

Before using any cleaning materials on your
oven, check that they are suitable and that their
use is recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT

be used as they may dull the surface
finishes. A steam cleaner is not to be
used. Harsh abrasives should also be
avoided.

External cleaning (by model EKC5611X)

The stainless steel parts may become straw
coloured with use. Use a proprietary stainless
steel cleaner to remove this straw discolouration.

External cleaning (by model EKC5612)

We recommend for cleaning cleaners type
AXION or CIF that do not scratch the surface;
after that rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid
use of metall objects, steel wool or nylon pads,
abrasive or caustic products, or diluents.

This will prevent a built-up of fat on the fan
impeller. Do not use abrasive materials to clean
the seal. The grease filter is dishwasher proof.
When cooking is completed and the oven has
cooled down, remove the filter by pushing the
protruding tongue on the filter upward.

Cleaning the Oven door

For a more complete cleaning of the oven door, it
is advisable to disassemble it in the following way:

- Open the door completely.

- Turn the two locking parts on the hinge arms

to 170°;

- Partially close the door, to a 30

- Lift the door and pull out.

locking parts

angle;

Glass lid

This should be cleaned with a soft cloth soaked
in warm detergent water. Do not use abrasive
scourers or steel wool.

Oven Cavity

The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst
the oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in
warm soapy water after each use. From time to
time it will be necessary to do a more thorough
cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.

Oven Shelves and shelf support

To clean the oven shelves, and shelf support
soak in warm soapy water and remove stubborn
marks with a well wetted soap impregnated pad.
Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.

Grease Filter

When cooking meat, the grease filter must be
fitted over the oven fan by clipping it over the
vents in the back panel.

Refit the door by reversing the operation
described above.

The Hob Top

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth
well wrung out in warm water to which a little
washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use
of the following:

• household detergent and bleaches;

• impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick

saucepans;

• steel wool pads;

• bath/sink stain removers.

Burners

The burner caps and crowns can be removed for
cleaning.
Wash the burners caps and crowns using hot
soapy water, and remove marks with a mild
paste cleaner. A well-moistened soap
impregnated steel wool pad can be used with
caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to
remove.
a soft cloth.

After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with

The Hotplate

Spills onto the actual plate should be removed
using warm water and a soft brush, nylon or
plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as
new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased from
most hardware stores, e.g. “4 Hob” by HomeCare
Products (follow the manufacturer’s instruction
for use). Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop
of olive oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is
important to note that the plate will smoke a little
and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when
next used.

Drying

Important: After cleaning, dry the hotplates

thoroughly by switching on to a low-medium
setting for a few minutes.

Restoring

To maintain the appearance of your sealed
hotplates apply a little salt-free vegetable oil or
restorative agent periodically.

To apply vegetable oil: first heat the hotplate on a
medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off. Pour a
very small amount of salt-free oil onto a dry cloth or
kitchen paper. Apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate
surface and wipe off any excess. Heat the hotplate
on a medium setting for 1 minute.

To apply restorative agent: first heat the hotplate
on a medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off.
Apply a very thin coating of Collo Electrol (using
the applicator). Heat a hotplate on a high setting
for 2-3 minutes to cure. Some smoke will occur,
this is normal and nontoxic. (NB: this product is a
restorative agent not a cleanser. It is available
from hardware stores).

Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings
may become straw coloured with use. Use a
proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove this
straw discolouration. This also applies to the area
around the hotplates on stainless steel hobs.
