Introduction

Please take the time to familiarise yourself with the controls, pa rts & accessories before using the oven or hobs. This could save a lot of time later.

BEFORE USING YOUR OVEN

Before using your oven for the first time, be sure to:

! Wash the handle, wire rack and baking tray accessories with soapy water. ! Use a damp cloth to wipe lightly the inner walls of the oven. Use a small amount of

detergent, but don’t use a spray or abrasive or polishing agent. Don’t touch the electric heating tubes, and don’t soak the inside of the oven with water.

! Place wire rack and baking tray inside the oven. ! Close the oven door and then preheat the oven at the highest temperature for 5 minutes.

This process is designed to remove the coating on heating elements.

USING THE HOBS

It is important to use flat-bottomed saucepans to ensure a good heat transfer. Also try to use saucepans with a similar diameter to the hob you are using.

Small hob: The small hob has 4 heat settings. Use the bottom control to select the appropriate heat. Setting ‘0’ is the off position. The small hob can be used at the same time as the oven or grill. Large Hob: The large hob has 3 heat settings and can be used at the same time as the small hob. However, only one heat setting on the large hob is available at the same time as the oven or grill. This is because there are restrictions on the amount of power an appliance can draw from a UK mains outlet. Use the middle control to select the appropriate setting for the large hob.

Note: In order to use the large hob in conjunction with the oven or grill, you must set the middle control to position B (see above drawing). To switch off the large hob but not the oven, move the middle selector to position A

HOW TO OPERATE YOUR OVEN

BAKING/GRILLING

1. Place the wire rack or baking tray into the desired rack level (top position for grilling).

2. Turn the middle selector switch to position A (see above drawing) then select the appropriate temperature via the thermostat.

3. For grilling, set the middle selector switch to position A then set the top selector to the Grill position (see above drawing).

4. Note: If you wish to use the large hob in conjunction with the oven or grill, then the middle selector should be set at position B

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

! It is essential that this oven is cleaned after each use to prevent build-up of fat or

crumbs, which could cause a fire hazard.

! First remove the plug from the wall outlet. ! After the oven/hobs cool, use a damp cloth or sponge to clean. Don’t soak the inside of

the oven or wash it in running water, as it will cause serious damage to the appliance.

! Don’t use any sharp or hard kitchen tools to clean the oven. This will damage the

coatings on the oven.

! Covering the food with aluminum foil before cooking should make the clean-up easier. ! The wire rack and baking tray can be removed and washed with running water or in a

dish washing machine.
