Off Off

Off position.

!: Always ensure that all controls are in the OFF

position, when the appliance is not in use.

The hob hot warning lights will operate soon after

each of the heating areas have been switched on.

Each warning light will remain illuminated until each

heating area has cooled down.

Turn the control to 12 for fast cooking. To cook more

slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting

according to the size of the saucepan and the

amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are

specially for smaller pans, low temperature cooking

and simmering.

Do Not Do Not

as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of

the hotplate.

Operating the controls when the grill is in use

In common with all cookers having controls sited

above the grill compartment, care must be taken

when setting the controls, due to hot air being

emitted from the grill compartment.

Top oven control

This control switches on the top and bottom heating

elements in the top oven. The temperature in the

oven can be set anywhere between 100 °C and 250

°C. The top oven/grill pilot light will glow initially and

remain on until the oven reaches the required

temperature. It will then cycle off and on, as the

oven thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

The off position is identified by an “0”.

Main oven control

This control switches on the main oven. To select

Fan Cooking - Turn the control clockwise and select

any temperature between 80 °C and 250 °C. As the

control is turned the fan will start, the oven interior

light and the main oven pilot light will come on and

the heating element around the fan will start heating.

The fan and the oven interior light will remain on

throughout cooking. The main oven thermostat light

will come on until the oven reaches the required

temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the oven

thermostat maintains the correct temperature.

Slow cooking ‘S’

The main oven has a ‘

S’ setting specially designed

to reduce energy usage. Full details of this can be

found in the Slow cooking section of this book.
