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(s) and grill
for 10 – 15 minutes at maximum temperature, to burn
off any residue from their surfaces. Accessible parts
may become hotter than in normal use. Children
should be kept away. During this period an odour
may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a
window for ventilation.

THE COOLING FAN FOR THE CONTROLS

The cooling fan comes on after a short time when the
hob, grill/second oven and main oven is in use. It
may run on after the controls are switched off until
the appliance has cooled. During the initial period
the cooling fan may turn ON and OFF, this is quite
normal.

Always allow the cooling fan to cool the
appliance down before switching off at the
wall prior to carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance work.

TOUCH CONTROL SENSORS

This appliance is operated using touch control
sensors. Functions are controlled by touching sensor
fields and confirmed by displays and acoustic
signals. Touch the sensor fields from above, without
covering other sensor fields.

SWITCHING THE HOB ON/OFF

The hob must be switched on before setting any
cooking function or programme. When the on/off
touch sensor ( ) is pressed and held, the hotplate
settings will show in the electronic display.
To switch off the hob, you can press and hold the
on/off touch sensor ( ) at any time. Any cooking
functions or programme will stop.
After switching on, within approximately 10 seconds
a heat setting or function must be set, otherwise the
appliance automatically switches itself off.

SWITCHING THE OVEN ON/OFF

The oven must be switched on before setting any
cooking function or programme. When the on/off
touch sensor ( ) is pressed and held, the cavity
symbol will show in the electronic display.
To switch off the oven, you can press and hold the
on/off touch sensor ( ) at any time. Any cooking
functions or programme will stop, the interior-lighting
will switch off and the electronic display will show the
time of day only.
After switching on, within approximately 10 seconds
a heat setting or function must be set, otherwise the
appliance automatically switches itself off.

OPERATING TIME

The operating time display shows how long the oven
has been operating. This display can only be seen if
none of the clock functions Countdown ( ), Cook
Time ( ) or End Time ( ) are set.

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.

safety precaution

11

THE HOB

Do not use the appliance if the ceramic
glass is damaged. If a fault or crack

SAFETY CUT-OUT

If after switching on the cooking surface, a heat
setting is not set for a cooking zone within
approximately 10 seconds, the cooking surface
automatically switches itself off.
If one or more sensor fields are covered for longer
than approximately 10 seconds, e.g. by a pan placed
upon it, a signal sounds and the cooking surface
switches off automatically.

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.

14

SECOND OVEN GRILL

CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when
the grill is in use. Young children should be
kept away.

The grill on this appliance has been designed to heat
up more quickly than conventional grill elements. It
provides quick, direct heat and no preheating is
necessary.

USING SECOND OVEN GRILL

• The oven must be switched on ( ) before

setting any cooking function or programme.

• Press the Oven Cavity selector until the

second oven cavity indicator is illuminated.

• Press the Function selector until the neon

is illuminated.

• To use the grill at lower settings press the

Function selector until the neon is
illuminated.

• Wait 5 seconds until your choice is confirmed.

The temperature will automatically set to 250°C if
grilling with the door closed.

• If grilling with the door open the temperature will

automatically set to setting - 4 -. If you wish to
alter the set temperature, you may do so by
pressing or until the required temperature
setting is reached.

• To switch off a function simply press the Function

selector once. The function neon will go out and
the display will return to the time of day.

THINGS TO NOTE

• The interior-lighting will illuminate.

• The heat indicator neons will flash until the oven

has reached the desired temperature and then
stop, an audible signal will sound. When the
oven has been switched off the bars that are still
lit indicate the remaining residual heat in the
oven.

• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after

a time.

• Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.
