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 using hot soapy water. 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 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.

6

WARNING!

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 foodstuff 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.

The hob

WARNING!

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

Turn the hob control knob to the required 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 flatbottomed bases are available and do comply with the above recommendations.

IMPORTANT!

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 when using the hob

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.

IMPORTANT!

Do not allow hot pans or baking trays to touch the controls as dammage may occur.

The grill

CAUTION!

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

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full area of the grill can be used, or for economy purposes, the centre section only can be used when cooking smaller quantities of food.

Using the grill

Turn the top oven/grill grill to the required setting.

The grill settings are as follows:-

Full grill area at ¼ power.

Centre grill area at full power.

Full grill area at full power.

Things to note

To ensure optimal cooking performance the elements have been carefully designed, so that only the inner element glows red. The outer element is hot, but will remain dark in colour. This gives you the best possible cooking results.

The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time.

Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident as the grill cleans itself.

WARNING!

Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires.
