OPERATION

Electric Hotplates

To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control knob to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 0 – 6

0 – OFF

1 – Minimum

6 – Maximum.

The hob has one type of hotplate:

Normal Hotplates

We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to the required setting.

It is important to note that the hotplate may smoke and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when used for the first time. This is quite normal and will disappear after some time.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are given in the following table:

OFF

Very Gentle

To keep food warm To melt butter and chocolate

Gentle

To prepare cream-sauces, stews and milk puddings or to fry eggs

Slow

Dried vegetables, frozen food, fruit, boiling water or milk

Medium

Boiled potatoes, fresh vegetables, pâtés, soups, broths, pancakes or fish

High

Larger stews, meat roll, fish, omelettes, steaks

Fast

Steaks, escalopes and frying

Page 7

Hints and Tips

Saucepans for use on solid plates should have several characteristics:

- They should be fairly heavy duty

- They should fit the heat area exactly, or be

slightly larger for efficient use,

NEVER

smaller.

- They should have a flat base to ensure good contact with the plate. This is particularly important when using pans for high temperature frying or pressure cooking.

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering. You can switch off the plate a short while before you finish cooking, and the final stage will be completed on the accumulated heat. Similarly, stews etc. cooked in well covered saucepans cook at lower temperature which is more economical.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid liquids being split into the plates. Never leave the plates on without a pan on them or with an empty pan on them.

Take care never to lean or reach over a hot electric plate. Always point pan handles inward or over the work surface next to the hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a pan as you pass by.

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

If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please contact your local Comet Service Centre.

Using the Electric Oven

Before the first use ensure that the room is well ventilated: V.M.C. (Mechanic ventilation) or opened window.

Before the First Use of the Cooker

Remove all packaging both inside and outside of the cooker, before using it.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.

1. Remove the oven accessories.

2. Remove any adhesive labels or protective films, if there are any.

3. Turn the thermostat control knob to 250°C and heat the oven for about 45 min.

This procedure should be repeated with the grill

function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Clean the accessories with a soft detergent. Rinse and dry carefully.

During cooking, the oven door is hot. Take care that children do not play near it.

The electric oven is equipped with 3 heating elements:

- 2 heating elements (top and bottom) for using the oven.

1 heating grill element, placed in the middle of top for grilling with door half opened.

Use

The oven can be used in traditional cooking or for grilling, but not simultaneously.

Cooking in the oven

Traditional cooking

Traditional cooking is made by natural convection of heated air.

It is necessary to pre-heat the oven.

How to proceed ?

For small cakes, pastry, Victoria sandwich.

1. Preheat the oven the thermostat on position chosen for cooking:

- about 8 min. for position 50°C to 150°C;

- about 15 min for position 175°C to 250°C;

2. Insert the meal

Using the Electric Grill

Electric grill

When grilling, the accessible parts of the appliance are hot and the appliance should not be left unsupervised. Take care that children do not play near it. While the grill is operating leave the oven door half open and put the grill deflector “A” into place. During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven, or the grill deflector.

The grill is used for grilling all kind of meat which remain tender, toast or browning dishes already cooked. Slide the dripping pan under the grid on the lowest shelf to collect the juice and fat.

For turning off the heating elements.

Turn the knob clockwise to position

OFF “0”

Grilling

Heat comes from the top of the oven. It is suitable for grilling meat (beef bacon, pork bacon …) that remains tender, for toast or to brown already cooked.

Grilling

· Prepare the meat to be grilled, lightly brush it

with oil on both sides.

· Place it on the trivet.

Put the grill deflector in place.

· Turn the oven knob to the grill position .

· Put the dripping pan in level 1.

· Slide the shelf into level 2 or 3 depending on

the thickness of the meat to be grilled.

Use level 3 for the thin pieces to be grilled (toast, pork bacon, sausage, small fish…)

Page 10

· Use level 2 for thick pieces of meat to be

grilled (beef bacon, large fish, poultry).

· When the first side is brown, turn the meat

without pricking it in order that the juices are not lost.

Grill the second side.

· Salt when ending the cooking.

Cooking time has to determined by the thickness of the piece to be grilled not by its weight.

Browning

Fit the grill deflector.

Turn the oven knob to the grill position

· Place the dish on the grid and slide it in level 2 or

Leave the dish under the grill for a few minutes.

Cooker operation pilot light (Main)

This light will illuminate when any of the hotplate knobs are turned on and remains lit while the hotplates are in use.

Oven thermostat pilot light (Thermostat)

This light will illuminate when a temperature is selected and remain lit until the selected temperature has been reached. It then cycles on and off to indicate that the temperature is being maintained.

Hints and Tips

Condensation and steam

When food is heated it produces steam in the same way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of this steam to escape. However,

always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door

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 oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not a fault with the oven. To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Cookware

Use any ovenproof cookware, which will withstand temperatures of 250

Oven dishes, etc. must not be placed directly on the oven base.

Page 11

Oven Cooking

· Turn off the oven 5 minutes before the end of

cooking time, and use residual heat to complete the cooking.

The thickness, the material and the colour of the pan will influence the cooking results.

· When cooking, certain dishes increase in

volume, ensure the pan is large enough.

· To prevent fat dripping when roasting use tall

rim pans proportional to the item being roasted.

Prick the skin of poultry and sausages with a fork before cooking to avoid spitting.

Use heatproof glass dishes for soufflés.

The effects of dishes on cooking results

Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity, colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to the food inside them.

A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and

bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.

B Enamelled cast iron, anodised aluminium,

aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.

Accessories delivered with the appliance

The following accessories are supplied with your appliance.

· 1 trivet.

· 1 dripping pan / grill pan - enamelled steel.

The dish has to be put in the middle of the shelf to balance the weight.

It is used to collect juice when cooking in it, place it on the shelf 2.

In addition to the accessories supplied we recommend you only use heatproof dishes/pans (according to the manufacturer’s instructions).

Page 12

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the electricity supply.

Cleaning materials

Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check that they are suitable and that their use is recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT

be used as they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should also be avoided.

External cleaning

Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added.

To prevent damaging or weakening the

door glass panels avoid the use of the following:

• Household detergent and bleaches

• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non stick saucepans

• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

• Chemical oven pads or aerosols

• Rust removers

• Bath/Sink stain removers

Oven Door

- The door can be dismantled for cleaning as follows:

- Open the door completely

- Turn the two locking parts on the hinge arms by 60

- Partially close the door, to a 30

angle

Lift the door and pull out

The internal oven door glass can be removed for cleaning. For this

purpose remove

the 2 fixing screws.

Clean the outer and inner

door glass using warm soapy

water. Should the

inner door glass

become heavily soiled it is

recommended that a cleaning

product such as

Hob Brite, or Bar

Keepers Friend be used.

Always support the door while removing the glass panel as the door may spring closed due to its lighter weight.

DO NOT clean the oven door while the

glass panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed the glass panel may shatter. If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the panel shattering. Contact your local Comet Service Centre who will be pleased to advise further.

IMPORTANT:

The inner door glass must be in

place when using the oven.

Page 13

Oven Cavity

The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm. Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a proprietary oven cleaner.

The Hob Top

The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily than if it is left to cool. Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following:

household detergent and bleaches;

· impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick

saucepans;

steel wool pads;

· bath/sink stain removers.

Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

The Hotplates

Spills onto the actual plate should be removed using warm water and a soft brush, nylon or plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased from most hardware stores, e.g. “4 Hob” by HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer’s instruction for use).

Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of olive oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is important to note that the plate will smoke a little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour when next used.

Drying

Important: After cleaning, dry the hotplates thoroughly by switching on to a low-medium setting for a few minutes.

Restoring

To maintain the appearance of your sealed hotplates apply a little salt-free vegetable oil or restorative agent (i.e. :”Collo Electrol”, or Minky Hotplate Cleaning Cloths) periodically.

To apply vegetable oil: first heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off. Pour a very small amount of salt-free oil onto a dry cloth or kitchen paper. Apply a thin coat of oil to the hotplate surface and wipe off any excess. Heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 1 minute.

To apply restorative agent: first heat the hotplate on a medium setting for 30 seconds then turn off. Apply a very thin coating of Collo Electrol (using the applicator). Heat a hotplate on a high setting for 2-3 minutes to cure. Some smoke will occur, this is normal and nontoxic. (NB: this product is a restorative agent not a cleanser. It is available from hardware stores).

Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill rings may become straw coloured with use. Use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw discolouration. This also applies to the area around the hotplates on stainless steel hobs.
