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

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 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.

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.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance. If you require replacements of any of the items listed below please contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the relevant part number.

1 grill pan (349099801)

7. AUTOMATIC COOKING

It is advisable to leave food in the oven for as

short a time as possible before automatic

cooking. Always ensure commercially prepared

food is well within its use by date and that home

prepared food is fresh and of good quality. When cooking is complete, do not leave food to

stand in the oven, but remove and cool it quickly

if the food is not to be consumed immediately.

Always ensure food in the oven has been

covered before cooking if it is not possible to

Fig.13.

remove food immediately after cooking.

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 knob in

either direction to vary the heat setting.

• The highest number represents the hottest

setting and the lowest number represents the

coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to

the quantity and type of food to be cooked.

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 sauc epan

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.

HOT HOB INDICATOR

The hob is fitted with a hot hob indicator light which illuminates when the hob is too hot to touch. The light will go OFF when the hob has cooled.
