990EL-I02-121016

Do not let children near the oven during use to avoid the danger of
burns or injury. Use of the appliance by the elderly or infirm should
be supervised.

The appliance and its accessible parts become hot
during use. Care should be taken to avoid touching
heating elements. Children less than 8 years of age

shall be kept away unless continuously supervised.

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above
and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play
with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be
carried out by children without supervision.

Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be

dangerous and may result in fire, NEVER try to

extinguish a fire with water, instead switch off the

appliance, cover the flame with a lid or use a fire

blanket.

Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking

surfaces.

If the Induction zone glass is cracked or broken the

cooker MUST NOT BE CONNECTED and no part of it

may be used. Switch off and unplug the appliance

to avoid possibility of electric shock.

Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be
placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.

Any spillages on the heat conserving lids should be removed from
the lid before opening.

Do not use steam cleaners to clean any part of this appliance.

Page 4

990EL-I02-121016

Do not use external timers with this appliance.

If any of the supply cords are damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.

Induction Zone: After use, switch off the hob element by its control
and do not rely on the pan detector.

During cooking, food naturally produces steam, which is vented
away to prevent excessive build-up within the ovens. As steam can
condense to water droplets on the cooler outer trim of the oven, it
may be necessary during cooking to wipe away any moisture with a
soft cloth. This will also help to prevent soiling and discolouration
of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.

The cooker is not to be grouted or sealed at the back or sides of the
worktop as if any maintenance is required the cooker will have to
be pulled away from the wall at the rear. This is to allow the cooker
top to be lifted.

The cooker weighs 327kg and so the floor must be capable of
withstanding the load.

Make sure the cooker is level, use packing pieces if necessary.

The cooker does not require access via the side panels once it is
installed, however we do ask that a 3mm gap is provided between
the cooker top plate any adjoining non-combustible work surfaces
that may be fitted, this is to allow for the safe removal of the top
plate should this be required at a later date. If the adjoining work
surfaces are combustible, a 20mm gap is required.

It is not recommended that any wall cupboards are fitted above the
cooker as steam may cause damage.

Before using your cooker remove plastic protective
covers from inner door panels; lift up lids and hinge
covers.

Page 11

990EL-I02-121016

OVENS, GRILL & SLOW COOK OVEN.

The ovens work by modulating the power (Patent Pending)
between the cast iron hotplate, the top oven, the bottom oven and
the slow cook oven. If both ovens and the hotplate are on, the
cooker will share the power to reach the selected temperatures,
but if only one oven or the hotplate is turned on, that zone will heat
up more quickly.

The cooker is designed to be used in slumber mode for the majority
of the day giving off a constant background heat and can then heat
up quickly to the required cooking temperatures when required. If
the oven and hotplate elements are left at a higher setting that the
slumber settings, the cooker will put even more heat into the room.
This is also the case if the hotplate bolster lid is left up or oven
doors left ajar.

When tested at the factory over a 24 hour period the

cooker consumed less than 0.5kwh per hour in
slumber mode at a room temperature of 18°C.

The top and bottom oven are controlled thermostatically and the
temperature markings on the controls are in °C. To switch one of
the ovens on, turn the corresponding knob clockwise to the desired
temperature. The indicator LED will glow red to show that the oven
is heating up and will glow green when the oven has reached the
selected temperature. Similarly when the control is moved to a
lower temperature the red LED will flash until the oven has reached
the selected temperature, once the selected temperature is
reached the LED will glow green again. The control shows a red
flashing LED after the oven has been switched off to indicate
residual heat.

When fitting oven shelves ensure that the shelf is orientated as
shown in fig 5. The oven shelf has two raise loops at the back that
act as a stop so as to prevent the shelf from accidentally tipping
when partially extended.

Page 12

990EL-I02-121016

Fig 5: Fitting an oven shelf

Top oven:
This oven has a 2kW wrap around element (Patent Pending) and a
2kW grill element. The grill is a full width grill and takes priority
over the top oven control. The Top oven and grill can never be on
together, if the grill control is on at any position, then the top oven
will not work until it the grill is switched off.

The thermometer in the top oven door is only a guide to actual
oven temperature. The reading will be incorrect when the door is
or has been opened and will recover once the door is closed.

Lower oven:
This oven has a 1.5kW wrap around element (Patent Pending) and

is used as a smaller capacity, high or low temperature oven.

SAFETY POINTS:

 When using the oven shelves ensure they are placed

correctly between the shelf runners and orientated as
shown in fig 5.

 Always use oven gloves when removing food from either

oven or the grill.

Page 13

990EL-I02-121016

Grill:
The grill has a 2kW element fixed in the top of the top oven. The

grill is programmed to take priority when turned on. As such other
zones will take longer to heat up and react when the grill is
activated.

Turn the control clockwise to turn the grill on and increase the
power. The grill can take up to four minutes to reach full operating
temperature from cold. The LED indicator will show red when the
grill is turned on. The grill has a 30 minute time limit. After this
time limit has expired the grill will automatically turn off. To reset
controls after auto turn-off, it is necessary to turn the control knob
back to the ‘Off’ (0) position.

When grilling, place the grill pan onto a pre-positioned oven shelf.
The grill pan should be handled using the tool provided, locate the
tool around the rim then move to locate it in the centre of the pan.

Fig 6 Grill pan

GRILL SAFETY POINTS,

 When attaching the grill pan handle. Locate the tool

around the rim then slide to locate it in the centre of the
pan.

 It is not advised to leave the grill pan handle attached to

the grill pan whilst grilling, as it will become hot. Use only
when moving the grill pan,

 Only operate the grill with the top oven door open.

Page 14

990EL-I02-121016

 Ensure the oven shelf height is correctly positioned before

placing the grill pan on it.

 The towel rail may become HOT after long periods of using

the grill.

 Do not place towels or any other items over the towel rail

when grilling.

Slow Cook Oven:
The slow cook oven is heated automatically when either of the
ovens is switched on. The temperature is regulated to
approximately 85°C.

The slow cook oven is intended for slow cooking items such as
casseroles, joints of meat, etc. Your slow cook oven is capable of
cooking a complete meal; for instance – casserole, rice pudding and
jacket potatoes – or just warming the dishes (use only heat
resistant dishes).

Points to remember when slow-cooking:

• Preheat the oven before starting to cook.

• Do not allow dishes to touch the heating elements either side of

the oven.

• Bring casseroles, soups etc. to the boil on the hob before placing
into a suitable casserole dish for slow cooking.

• Make sure that casseroles have sufficient liquid, particularly when
cooking over a long period.

• Use lids on casseroles or foil to cover food whilst it is cooking to

retain moisture.

• Make sure all dishes will fit into the oven before preparing the

food.

• Wrap washed and pricked jacket potatoes in foil before cooking.

• Make sure that meat and poultry reach a safe temperature before

eating.

• Always thaw frozen food completely before cooking.

Your slow cook oven is also useful for warming plates and serving
dishes (use only heat resistant dishes).

Page 15

990EL-I02-121016

You can cook a fruitcake in the slow cook oven (if perhaps your
other ovens are in use).

You can also produce crisp, white meringues cooked in the slow
cook oven.

Timings for cooking in the slow cook oven will depend upon the
quantity and type of dish you are cooking.

Keep an eye on the food until you are familiar with the oven.

Page 16

990EL-I02-121016

INDUCTION ZONE

Induction cooking is a safe, efficient and economical cooking
method. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat
directly in the pan, rather than traditional electric hob technologies
that indirectly heat though a glass surface or metal plate. As a
result of the induction technology, the glass surface only heats up
due to heat transfer from the pan.

Fig 7 Induction Cooking

Before using the induction zone, read this guide, taking special note
of the ‘safety warnings’ section.

Choosing compatible Cookware

Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look
for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the
pan, see Fig. 8.

Fig. 8

Page 17

990EL-I02-121016

• You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out

a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is
attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.

• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure

stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass,
wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.

Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.

Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the
glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Pots less than Ø145
mm could be undetected by the hob.

You can use multiple pans on the induction zone, but one pan must
always be covering the centre of the glass.

Always lift pans off the induction hob – do not slide, or they may
scratch the glass.

Using your Induction Hob

The induction zone works on a separate power supply and as such

does not have a slumber mode setting but is an on demand hob.
The induction zone specifications are Ø330mm with a Ø250mm
3kW element.

The induction is controlled via a rotary control as shown in Fig 4.
This will allow you to scroll through the power setting 0 to 9 as it is
rotated clockwise. The set power level, any error codes and any
selected functions are displayed on the induction status display,
shown Fig 4.

The induction zone has 9 power settings, a timed full power boost
setting (P) and an Automatic heat up time function (A).

Automatic Heat up function:

When the Automatic heat up is activated, the power of the element
is set to level 9 for a time dependant on the selected (simmering)
cooking level. After the predefined heat up time is finished, the
element switches back to the selected cooking (simmering) level.

The Automatic Heat up function only works on power levels 1 to 8.

Page 19

990EL-I02-121016

To engage the Automatic Heat Up function: Place a suitable pan on
the induction zone. With the rotary induction control in the off (0)
position, turn the knob anti-clockwise and hold against the stop for
1-2 seconds. At this point you will hear a beep and an A will be
displayed. You can then turn the rotary control clockwise to the
desired cooking/simmering level. The display will flash between A
and the selected cooking/simmering level until the predefined time
has expired. At this point the element will default to the selected
cooking/simmering level. The Auto Heat Up times are shown in the
table below.

Power Boost Function:

The power boost function, when selected, will deliver the full 3kW
power for 5 minutes and then the induction unit will default to
power level 9.

To engage the Power Boost function: Place a suitable pan on the
induction zone. Turn the rotary induction control fully clockwise
and hold against the stop for 1-2 seconds. At this point you will
hear a beep and a P will be displayed. Once the P is displayed the
rotary control can be released. After 5 minutes the element will
switch from P to power level 9.

Page 20

990EL-I02-121016

Pot Detection:

If cookware is not detected, the ‘suspended pot’ is shown on the

Induction status display. If no cookware is recognised, the
induction zone will switch off automatically after 10 minutes.

Residual Heat Display:

After turning off the induction unit, the residual heat on the
cooking element is displayed as an H, this will remain as long as the
temperature is over approximately 60°C

Over-Temperature Protection:

Temperature sensors monitor the temperature beneath and inside
the induction zone. When excessive temperature is monitored in
the ECU, the induction zone will reduce power in 4 steps until the
temperature reduces to safe levels. When excessive temperature is
monitored at the hob, the induction zone will stop operation
automatically.

The minimum pan size for the induction zone is Ø145mm.

This Induction unit has a built in cooling fan which comes on when
the induction unit is switched on and the temperature exceeds 40°C
and will go off once the temperature drops below 30°C, regardless
of whether the induction is turned on or off. When the unit is set to
slumber mode, this should only take a matter of minutes however
when the cooker is at the higher end of the temperature scale (i.e.
cooking) this can take longer to turn off.

Page 21

990EL-I02-121016

 Never use utensils with rough bases.
 It is important that any spillage is dealt with before the

hob is used again, otherwise it may become baked on.

 Do not place or leave an empty pan on the hob, nor put

metal utensils or objects on or too near the hob as they
may become hot.

 Remove any spillage of high sugar content, such as jam,

immediately. Use a pan, which is large enough to prevent
boil over or spillage.

 Before using the hob for the first time we recommend you

clean the glass surface with ceramic hob cleaner and
conditioner, such as Hob-brite. This applies a thin
protective film to the hob, making it easier to clean and
prolonging its life.

 It is essential to use pans suitable for induction cooking.

These have to have a ferrous content, so cast iron and
magnetic stainless steel are ideal but copper, aluminium
and ceramic pans will not normally work.

 Never use the hob as a work surface as damage may occur

to the smooth surface.

 The heat conserving lid should be left up after use to allow

for better cooling.

Auto Shutdown Protection:

Auto shut down is a safety protection function for your induction
hob. It shuts down automatically if ever you forget to turn off your
cooking. The default working times for various power levels are
shown in the table below.

Heat Settings:

The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will
depend on several factors, including your cookware and the
amount you are cooking. Experimenting with the induction zone is
the best way to find the settings that best suit you.

Control error:

If the control knob is turned into an overwind position (OWL or
OWR) for more than 30 seconds continuously, the Control error
symbol (shown above) will flash on the display panel. The induction
zone will automatically switch off. If the control knob is turned
back from an overwind position, a 30 second count will start again.
This will clear the error and the Status Display will clear after about
3 seconds.

Page 23

990EL-I02-121016

Error Codes:

Page 24

990EL-I02-121016

Clearance of error messages:

The control unit has to detect that the faulty condition is fixed.
After turning the knob back into the Off (0) position new user inputs
are allowed and will be accepted from the control unit.

INDUCTION SAFETY POINTS:

 If the Induction zone glass is cracked or broken the cooker

MUST NOT BE CONNECTED and no part of it may be used.
Switch off and unplug the appliance to avoid possibility of
electric shock.

 Do not place or leave any magnetisable objects (e.g. credit

cards, memory cards) or electronic devices (e.g.
computers, MP3players) near the appliance, as they may
be affected by its electromagnetic field.

 Never use the appliance as a work or storage surface.

CAST IRON HOTPLATE

The cast iron hotplate is Ø330mm and has a 2.5kW Element.

From the OFF setting it takes approximately 40 minutes to reach
400⁰Centigrade, or 31 minutes from 150⁰Centigrade to
400⁰Centigrade when in slumber mode. Heat up times were
checked with the heat conserving lid down and at a room
temperature of 18°C

Always use solid machined flat base pans to ensure the best contact
on the hotplate and subsequent heat transfer. Cast iron pans
usually work well.

 Never use utensils with rough bases.
 It is important that any spillage is dealt with before the

hob is used again, otherwise it may become baked on solid
and difficult to remove.

 Always keep the hotplate cover down when the hob is not

in use to conserve energy.

Page 25

990EL-I02-121016

OVEN STEAM VENTS

The 990EL cooker incorporates oven steam vents in both the top
and bottom oven.

The top and bottom oven steam vents are linked together and can
be adjusted by either opening or closing the top steam vent on the
top of the cooker.

Figure 13 shows the steam vent closed. When using the oven in
this method, condensation can form on the inside of the oven door
and run off when the door is opened.

Fig. 13 Top oven steam vent closed.

Figure 14 shows the steam vent opened. This operation is achieved
by sliding the steam vent towards the front of the cooker.

Fig. 14 Top oven steam vent opened.

Page 26

990EL-I02-121016

Steam is very hot and can burn.

Care should be taken and a suitable protective oven

glove or mitt be used whilst operating the oven steam

vents.

The steam vent can be removed for cleaning, by sliding the steam
vent to the open position. This can now be levered forward and
removed.

CARING FOR YOUR ESSE COOKER.

Your Esse cooker is very easy to keep clean.

The cast iron hotplate helps to keep its self clean, by carbonising
cooking spills and splashes. Just brush off the carbon dust. For
stubborn stains, don’t be afraid to use a wire brush on the cast iron
hotplate and inside the ovens.

Splashes and spills on the vitreous enamel should be wiped away as
soon as possible, using a damp soft cloth. Micro-fibre cloths are
especially good for this. Never use a cold wet cloth on any
enamelled surfaces as the thermal shock can cause crazing.

Fig. 15

Page 27

990EL-I02-121016

If spills have become baked on to the enamel, use a soap filled pad,
not too coarse, so as to avoid scratching enamel. DO NOT use oven
cleaners.

Likewise the inner door panels and inner bolster lids can be cleaned
with a cream cleanser or for more stubborn marks, a soap filled
pad. The linings will show marks and discolour with use, but with
regular cleaning will maintain its look for longer.

The chromed bolster lids and handrail can be cleaned with a damp
soapy cloth, followed by a wet cloth, finishing by polishing with a
clean dry cloth.

The enamelled surfaces can be cleaned with glass cleaner to help
get a good streak free shine. Any spillage of milk or fruit juices on
to the enamelled surfaces must be wiped up straight away, as the
acidity may stain the front.

Some components such as the side panels are powder coated
(painted) and nothing abrasive should be used on them. Use a soap
filled pad instead.

If the cooker is finished in the ‘Matte Black’ painted finish,
additional care must be taken not to use any chemicals or abrasive
cleaners. Use a light brush or lint free cloth instead.

If the cooker is not going to be used for an extended period of time,
we advise that the cooker be cleaned thoroughly, the ovens and
hotplate can be wiped over with a light coating of cooking oil, the
bolster lids left up and the doors left slightly ajar.

During the life of your cooker it may be necessary to adjust the
door handles and change the door ropes. The door handles can be
adjusted using the adjustment screw on the lift up latch part of the
handle. A video on how to adjust the door handle is on the Esse TV
section of www.esse.com. Replacement door ropes can also be
purchased form www.esse.com

Page 28

990EL-I02-121016

EXTRACTION.

An extractor may be used with this appliance. See your local Esse
dealer or www.esse.com for details.

Page 29

990EL-I02-121016

GUARANTEE.

Your ESSE cooker is guaranteed against defects arising from faulty
manufacture for three years, subject to the following express
conditions:

 Upon installation. The details must be recorded on the

Commissioning card and registered with ESSE by returning the
completed card or by completing the online registration. The
guarantee period commences upon delivery of the cooker
(subject to receipt of the correctly completed card).

 The cooker has been used for normal domestic purposes only,

and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

 Any cooker or detective part replaced shall become the

Company’s property.

EXCLUSIONS

This guarantee does not cover:

 Parts deemed to be replaceable in the normal usage of the

cooker. These parts are listed herewith: oven accessories.

 Enamel damage; the vitreous coating on your cooker is in effect

an extremely thin layer of glass and as such displays all the
characteristics of glass. It can easily be damaged by impact, or
by spillage of cold liquids onto a hot surface. Such damage
cannot be covered under this guarantee. (See also intermittent

use of your cooker, below).
This guarantee is personal to the original purchaser and is non­transferable.

Page 30

990EL-I02-121016

INTERMITTENT USE OF YOUR COOKER

In the event of intermittent use and prolonged shutdown, it should
be noted that in some circumstances enamel may be displaced due
to ingress of damp. Whilst this is rare, it is most likely to occur in
situations where the unused cooker remains in an unheated
property. There is a layer (known as the ground coat) between the
vitreous enamel surface and the cast iron. Ground coat is porous
and if exposed (e.g. after a chip in the vitreous enamel coat), may
allow damp to penetrate behind the vitreous enamel and spread
through the ground coat. Surface oxidisation of the cast iron may
thereafter occur, causing the vitreous enamel to fall off. Such
damage will not be covered by your warranty. We recommend that
a light coating of petroleum jelly be applied to any damaged areas
when the cooker is not in use to help keep out the damp, in
addition to following the ‘caring for your Esse cooker’ instructions
on page26.

CUSTOMER CARE

In the event you should require spare parts, please order through
your ESSE dealer or by contacting Esse via telephone (01282

813235) or our website, www.esse.com.

Should you have cause for dissatisfaction with your cooker, you
should contact your ESSE dealer, who will, in most instances, be
able to offer you immediate assistance. You will be required to give
the following details.

 Your name, address and postcode.
 Your telephone/contact details.
 Clear and concise details of the fault.
 Model and serial number of the cooker (found on the inside

panel of the bottom right hand oven door).

Page 31

990EL-I02-121016

 Purchase date (please note that a valid purchase receipt or

guarantee documentation is required for in-guarantee service

calls).

We will then check that we have an accurately completed warranty
card, if not then any work carried out may be charged.

We will assess the nature of the complaint and either send
replacement parts for your dealer to fit, send an engineer to inspect
& report, or send an engineer to repair. If the fault is not actually
