Introduction

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.

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

Using the Hob

The hob consists of six ceramic heaters mounted under a ceramic glass panel. The hob warning neon illuminates if any of the hotplate controls are operated. The rear three elements are 190mm diameter and are rated at 1800 watts. The front left and front right elements are 190mm diameter and are rated at 1500 watts and the front centre element is 155mm diameter and is rated at 1200 watts.

Warning: If any crack should appear on the hob or warming plate glass, isolate the cooker immediately from the mains supply. Do not use any part of the cooker and contact Service (see Key Contacts, back page).

CERAMIC HOB

Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface, as damage will occur. The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red) indicating which heating element is energised. The cooking area returns to its original colour when the heating element is switched off and cools. Even though the cooking area has returned to its original colour it may still be hot.

Hob hot neon:

This will operate soon after any of the six ceramic elements are turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled, approximately 30 minutes.

CONTROLS Fastlite hotplates: The controls set the hotplate at six pre-set power indicator levels,

indicated by the numbered markings (1 is the minimum and 6 is the maximum setting). The hotplate will be off at the ‘O’ position. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the knob to a lower setting which will vary according to size and type of saucepan, the amount of food and whether or not a lid is fitted. 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 into each element. After several minutes with the control at setting 6 the safety cut-out switches the elements off and on continuously, thus preventing any adverse effects that may be caused by an excessive build-up of heat in the cooking area.
