The Oven Cavity

Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is located underneath the oven cavity.

During cooking the storage drawer may become hot if the oven is on high for a long period of time, therefore 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.

Operation

Push-Pull control knobs

Some models are provided with push-pull control knobs (see picture). These knobs can be completely sunken inside the control panel when the oven is not working.

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 - 9.

0 - OFF

9 - Maximum.

The hob has two types of cooking zones:

3 normal cooking zones (back left, back right and front right)

We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (9) for a short while to boost the cooking zone, and then adjusted to the required setting.

1 double circuit cooking zone (front left)

The front left 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 (9) 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 9

and adjust it to the required heat setting. Please be aware that the two heating elements will now operate together, giving a higher power output than a normal cooking zone.

Control knob for normal cooking zone

Control knob for double circuit cooking zone

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 a cooking zone is switched on, a short buzzing may be heard. This is quite normal and does not affect the hob operation in any way.

Mains on Light

The mains on light will come on when the oven function control knob and/or the cooking zone control knobs are set.

Using the ceramic glass hob

Ceramic glass surface

The glass is hard, and has been tempered to withstand heat, cold and temperature shocks. But like all glass it is sensitive to impact. Do not stand on the ceramic glass surface.

If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect the cooker from the electrical supply to avoid the possibility of electric shock 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 still hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the surface.

Energy consumption

To save energy, you should:

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

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

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

- switch off the cooking 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 bases.

The bases 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 discolourations which can only be removed with difficulty or sometimes not at all.

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

Electric Oven

small quantities.

Full Grill - The full grill element will be on.

Pizza - The bottom element provides direct heat to

the base of pizzas, quiches or pies, while the fan ensures air is circulated tocook the pizza toppings or pie fillings.

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.

Thermostat Control Knob

Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to select temperatures between 50°C and 230°C (MAX).
