CONTENTS

Thank you for buying this%HOOLQJ

appliance.
We hope that the following information

will help you to quickly familiarise your­self with the features of the appliance,
and to use it successfully and safely.

Our policy is one of constant develop­ment and improvement. Strict accuracy
of illustrations and specifications is not
guaranteed. Modification to design and
materials may be necessary subsequent
to publication.

This cooker may be sited with cabinets
on both sides, or it may be free stand­ing. Sufficient space should be allowed
at either side of the cooker to enable it
to be pulled out for cleaning and servic­ing.

Please read the instructions in this hand­book before using or installing this appli­ance. All installation and servicing work
must be carried out by a competent per­son.

Your 1st Year Guarantee

To fulfil the conditions of your guarantee,
this appliance must be correctly installed
and operated, in accordance with these
instructions, and only be used for normal
domestic purposes.

Please note that the guarantee, and
Service availability, are only available in
the UK and Republic of Ireland.

Moving the cooker

Please note that this appliance may be
heavier than it appears. Take care if the
appliance needs to be lifted during instal­lation - always use an appropriate
method of lifting.

Do not attempt to move the cooker by

pulling on the doors or handles. Open
the door and grasp the frame of the
cooker, taking care that the door does
not shut on your fingers.

Take care to avoid damage to soft or
uneven floor coverings when moving the
appliance. Some cushioned vinyl floor
coverings may not be designed to with­stand sliding appliances without marking
or damage.

Before using the appliance for the
first time, remove any protective polythene
film and wash the oven shelves and shelf
runners in hot soapy water to remove
their protective coating of oil. Even so,
when you first turn on the oven or grill
you may notice a smell and some smoke.

Glass door panels

To meet the relevant Standards of
Domestic cooking appliances, all the
glass panels on this appliance are tough­ened to meet the fragmentation require­ments of BS3193. This ensures that, in
the likely event that a panel breaks, it
does so into small fragments to minimise
the risk of injury.

Please take care when handling, using or
cleaning all glass panels, as any damage
to the surfaces or edges may result in
the glass breaking without warning or
apparent cause at a later date. Should
any glass panel be damages, we strongly
recommend that is replaced immediately.

ABOUT YOUR APPLIANCE

Using the hotplate

• Commercial simmering aids should
not be used as they create excessive
temperatures that can damage the
surface and may cause a hazard.

• Do not place aluminium foil or plas­tic utensils on the hotplates, as they
may melt and damage the surface.

• Do not use the hotplate surface for
storage.

• When cooking with fat or oil, never
leave unattended.

• Turn pan handles to a safe position,
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance, and
cannot be caught accidentally.

• Position pans over the centre of the
hotplate elements.

• Aluminium foil must not be placed
on the hob as it will reflect any heat
back into the element, which can
damage it.

• Leaving a hotplate on for a length of
time, without it being covered by a
pan, causes overheating of sur­rounding areas which could damage
the element.

• Be careful when cooking foods in
salted water, or foods containing
large amounts of sugar, syrup or
jam - if they are spilt onto hot areas
of the hob they may damage it.

To save energy

• Always position pans centrally over
the heating area.

• Put lids on saucepans and only heat
the amount of liquid you need.

• When liquids boil, reduce the control
setting to maintain a simmer.

• Consider the use of a pressure cook­er for the cooking of a complete
meal.

• Vegetables will cook quicker if
chopped in smaller pieces.

• Larger heating elements are ideal for
faster cooking methods, such as boil­ing or frying, and for larger pans.

Smaller heating elements are ideal
for simmering and stewing, and for
smaller pans.

• Do not use a pan which is too small
or too large for the heating area ­refer to notes on next page.

• We recommend you turn off the hot
plate 5 to 10 minutes before the
dish is ready. This allows the heat
accumulated in the hot plate to be
used economically. The hot plate
remains hot for a while after use.
