To help you make the best use of your cooker, PLEASE READ THIS BOOKLET CAREFULLY. Your new cooker is guaranteed and will give lasting service. The guarantee is only applicable if the cooker has been installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions. The cooker is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.

When first using the cooker ensure that the room is well ventilated (e.g. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room until the smell has ceased. This odour is due to any temporary finish and also any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

Introduction

When the cooker is first used an odour may be emitted. This will cease after a period of use.

Our policy is one of continual improvement in design and development, therefore strict accuracy of illustrations and descriptions cannot be guaranteed.

SAFETY ADVICE IN CASE OF A CHIP-PAN FIRE In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire.

1. TURN OFF THE COOKER APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.

2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.

3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING IT. Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.

NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over. Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.

The height of the cooker can be adjusted by means of adjustable feet in the plinth (900mm

- 915mm). Adjust the feet by tilting the cooker from the side. Then install the product into position. NOTE: This appliance must not be fitted on a platform. The cooker is designed to fit between kitchen cabinets spaced 500mm apart. The space either side need only be sufficient to allow withdrawal of the cooker for servicing. It can be used with cabinets one side or both as well as in a corner setting. It can also be

used freestanding. Adjacent side walls which project above hob level, must not be nearer to the cooker than 150mm and should be protected by heat resistant material. Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be nearer than 650mm.

Before moving your cooker check that it is cool, and switch off at the cooker control unit.

Movement of your cooker is most easily achieved by lifting the front as follows: Open the grill door sufficiently to allow a comfortable grip on the underside front edge of the oven roof, avoiding any grill elements.

Off position. Note: 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.

Operating the control 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 swiches on the top and bottom heating elements in the top oven.The temperature in the oven can be set anywhere between 100

C and

230

C. The indicator light will glow initially and remain on during all working period of top oven/grill. The top oven thermostat light will come on until the oven reaches the required temperature. It will then cycle off and on as the top 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 230 °C. As the control is turned the fan will start, the oven interior light and the main oven thermostat 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 reduce energy usage. Full details of this can be found in the “Slow Cook” section of this book.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door.

Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the heat 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. Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the panel when cooking is finished and before serving food. It is inadvisable at any time to leave a heating element switched on without a pan in position as this wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect elements against over-heating, safety cut-outs have been incorporated with each element. After several minutes with the control at setting 6 the safety cutout switches the element

CONTROL SETTINGS GUIDE

This is provided only as a guide – settings also depend on the type of pan used and the quality of food.

Safety requirements for deep fat frying

1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area.

2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of oil.

3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period.

4. Never try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.

5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will cause frothing and spitting, if added to quickly.

6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks of oil or fat.

Knob Position Type of food

1 To melt butter, chocolate, etc.

3 To heat solid and liquid foods.

Keep water boiling. Thaw frozen veg etables. Make 2-3 egg omelettes.

4 or 5 To cook foods, just above simmering.

To maintain 'rolling' boil for preserve making.

5 or 6 To seal meat and fry fish.

6 Frying potatoes.

Bringing water to the boil. Deep fat frying. Dissolve sugar for preserve making.

Use good quality flat-based cookware on all electric heat sources.

Use gauze, metal pan diffusers, asbestos mats and stands e.g. Wok stands - they can cause overheating.

Always ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use.

Use utensils with skirts or rims e.g. buckets and some kettles.

Ensure pans match size of heating area.

Use badly dented or distorted pans.

Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only a low or medium heat is necessary.

Leave an element switched on when not cooking.

Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources.

Cook food directly on the ceramic glass.

Always lift pans, do not drag. Drag or slide utensils, along

the hob surface.

Always use pan lids except when frying.

Deal with spillages immediately but with care.
