USE OF COOKING HOB

GAS BURNERS

[ Check that the electricity is switched on to allow spark ignition.
[ Make sure that all controls are turned to zero.
[ The gas flow to the burner is controlled by a tap with safety valve device. If the burner

flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas
flow. The switch of the electric ignition is incorporated in the knobs.

[ You control the flow by turning the knob indicator to line up with the following symbols:

B Symbol : tap closed (burner off)

B Symbol : High (maximum)

B Symbol : Low (minimum)

[ To ignite automatically, simply push the required knob down and turn it to maximum,

keep the knob down until the burner lights. When the flame is lit, wait for about ten
seconds with the knob down (safety valve activation delay).

[ You can control the temperature by turning the knob from “high” to “low”.
[ To switch off, turn the knob clockwise until you hear the safety click.
[ Note that, if you are using a burner at the minimum setting, you turn the knob clockwise

past the maximum setting before reaching the off position.

[ If when lighting any of the burners an abnormal flame appears, switch that the burner off

and relight using the minimum setting.

[ If the flame is still different from normal, turn the burner off and consult your Kleenmaid

service agent.

[ In the case of an electric mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER

The burner must be chosen according to the diameter of the pans and energy required.

Burners Pot diameter

Auxiliary
Semi-rapid
Double-ring
Fish-burner
Wok

Saucepans with handles which are excessively heavy, in relationship to the weight of the
pan, are safer as they are less likely to tip.
Pans which are positioned centrally on burners are more stable than those which are offset.
It is far safer to position the pan handles in such a way that they cannot be accidentally
knocked.

When deep fat frying fill the pan only one third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off all controls.
Place a damp cloth or correct fitting lid over the pan to smother the flames.
DO NOT use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes.

GRATE FOR SMALL PANS

Supplied together with the appliance (see fig. 5).
This grate is to be placed on top of the (smaller) auxiliary
burner when using small diameter pans, in order to prevent
them from tipping over.

CORRECT USE OF DOUBLE-RING BURNER

[ Flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.(See fig.6a)
[ To use the WOK you need to place the proper stand in order to avoid any faulty

operation of the wok burner.(See fig.6b)

MULTIFUNCTION OVEN

GENERAL FEATURES

This is ovenfeatures 7 different programs to satisfy every cooking need. The 7 positions,
thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 4 heating elements.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the MULTI-FUNCTION oven are obtained in the following ways:

4 by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.

4 by forced convection

The fan in the oven sucks the air from the oven housing at the rear of the oven and
forces it over the circular heating element. The hot air envelops the food in the oven
giving faster and more even cooking before it is sucked back into the housing to
repeat the cycle. It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously due to the
even distribution of heat within the oven.

4 by semi-forced convection

The heat produced by the top and bottom heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.

4 by radiant heat

The food is grilled by the infrared grill element.

4 by radiant heat and ventilation

The food is grilled by the infrared grill element and the heat is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.

4 by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB

Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven
for one of the following functions.

THERMOSTAT KNOB

This only sets the cooking temperature and
does not switch the oven on.
Rotate clockwise until the required
temperature is reached (from 50 to 225°C).

OVEN LIGHT

By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on (15 W).
It remains on in all the cooking modes.

TRADITIONAL BAKE

The upper and lower heating elements come on. The heat being dispersed by natural
convection. The temperature range must be set between 50° and 225° C using the
thermostat.
The oven must be preheated before cooking.

Recommended for:

Food that requires the same degree of cooking both inside and out, for example roasts,
spare pork ribs, meringues etc.

10

GRILLING

The infrared grill element at the top of the oven comes on. The heat is dispersed by
radiation.
Use with the function knob set to , the thermostat knob from 50 to 200°C and with the

oven door closed.

For cooking hints, see the chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.

Recommended for:

Intense grilling, browining, cooking au gratin and toasting, etc.

It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
Attention: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

DEFROST

Only the oven fan comes on. Use with the thermostat knob set to “ ” - other positions
have no effect. The food is thawed by ventilation without heating.

Recommended for:

Quick thawing of frozen foods; one kg requires approximately 1 hour.
Thawing times vary according to the quantity and type of food to be thawed.

FAN FORCED

The circular element and fan come on. The heat is dispersed by forced convection and the
temperature can be varied to between 50° and 225°C via the thermostat knob. The oven
does not require preheating.

Recommended for:

Food which has to be well-cooked outside and soft or rosy inside, for example lasagne,
lamb, roast beef, whole fish etc.

FAN GRILL

Both the infrared grill and the fan come on. Most of the cooking is done by grilling and then
the hot air circulated around the oven.The oven door should be kept closed.
The temperature can be set between 50°C and 175° C maximum.
The oven should be preheated for approximately 5 minutes before cooking. For further
cooking hints see “GRILLING AND COOKING AU GRATIN”.

Recommended for:

Quick sealing in of food juices for example such as hamburger, chicken pieces, chops.

It is recommended that you do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time.
Attention: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

11

MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE AFTER COOKING OR
SLOWLY HEATING FOODS

The upper element, the circular element and the fan come on.
The heat is circulated by forced convection with greater intensity in the upper part.
The temperature can be set to between 50° and 140°C via the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

Keeping food warm after any type of cooking. Slow heating of cooked food.

MULTI-FUNCTION

The upper and lower heating elements and the fan come on - the heat from the element
being circulated by the fan.
The temperature range can be set to between 50° and 225° C using the thermostat.

Recommended for:

Large bulky quantities of food that require even cooking throughout for example large
roasts, turkey, roast turkey, cakes etc.

COOKING ADVICE

STERILIZATION

Sterilization of foods to be conserved, in full and hermetically sealed jars, is done in the
following way:

, Set the switch to position .

, Set the thermostat knob to 185° C and preheat the oven.

, Fill the dripping pan with hot water.

, Set the jars onto the dripping pan making sure they do not touch each other and the

door and set the thermostat knob to position 135° C.

When sterilization has begun, that is, when the contents of the jars start to bubble,turn off
the oven and let cool.
Check your recycle book for full instructions.
