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 elements for
10 – 15 minutes at 220

o

C to burn off any residue
from their surfaces. The procedure should be
repeated with the grill for approximately 5 – 10
minutes. 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 immediately when the
grill/top oven is switched on and after a short time
when the main oven is in use. It runs 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.

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where
applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator
neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to
show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon
does not operate as the instructions indicate the
controls have been incorrectly set. Return all
controls to zero and reset following the instructions
for the required setting.

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.

been supplied with the appliance. If you require
replacements of any of the items listed below please

THE CERAMIC HOB

Do not use the appliance if the ceramic
glass is damaged. If a fault or crack
becomes visible, disconnect the appliance
immediately from the electricity supply and
contact your local Service Force Centre.

USING THE HOB

· To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in

either direction to vary the heat setting.

· The highest number represents the hottest

setting and the lowest number represents the
coolest setting.

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.

10

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.
