Be safe
Warning
Accessible parts will become hot in use. To avoid burns and scalds
children should be kept away.
Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. Although the ceramic surface
is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling object might cause the surface
to crack. As soon as any crack in the surface becomes visible disconnect the
appliance immediately from the supply and arrange for its repair. Care should
be taken that no water seeps into the appliance.
During use, and afterwards, the appliance will be warm, so be careful with little
children. If the younger members of your family are allowed into the kitchen
we strongly advise that they are kept under supervision at all times.
If you have not used a ceramic electric cooker before, we recommend you read
the ‘General Safety Instructions’ where we describe some basic guidelines on
how to use your cooker safely.
Electricity on
Make sure that the electricity supply is turned on
Peculiar smells
When you fi rst use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. This should stop
after a little use.
Before using for the fi rst time, make sure that all packing materials have
been removed and then to dispel manufacturing odours, turn the ovens
to 230°C and run for an hour.
Before using the grill for the fi rst time you should also turn on the grill
and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position, pushed fully back,
and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening
windows or turning on a cooker hood for example. We recommend that
people with respiratory or allergy problems should vacate the area for
this brief period.
Installation
This appliance must be installed by a qualifi ed electrician to comply with
the relevant regulations and also the local electricity supply company
requirements. Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.

The Hob
When you cook on a ceramic hob its very
important to use the right sort of pans...
Use only pans that are suitable for ceramic hobs.
We recommend stainless steel and enamelled
steel pans because pots and pans with copper or
aluminium bases leave traces on the hob that are
diffi cult to remove.
Glass-ceramic cookware is not suitable because of its
poor conductivity.
1 Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, fl at
bottoms. This ensures that there is the maximum heat
transfer from the hob to the pan, making cooking quick
and energy effi cient.
3 Always use pans that are the same size as (or
slightly larger than) the areas marked on the hob top.
Using smaller pans wastes heat, and any spillage will be
burnt on. Using a lid will help the contents boil more
quickly.
4 Always lift pans off the hob. Sliding pans may cause
marks and scratches. Always turn the control to the off
position before removing a pan.
Never use a round bottomed Wok even with a stand.
2 The very best pans have bases that are very slightly
curved in when cold. If you hold a ruler across the
bottom you will see a small gap in the middle. When
they heat up the metal expands and lies fl at on the
cooking surface.
Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to
prevent any residue burning onto the hob panel. This
also helps prevent scratches and deposits (such as lime
specks).
5 There are indicator lights for each of the cooking
areas. These come on when a hob control is turned on
and stay lit while the surface cools. Always take care
before touching the surface even when it is turned off
- it may be hotter than you think.
6 The ratings of the cooking areas are shown on the
diagram below.

7 Although the ceramic surface is very strong, a
heavy or sharp falling object (a salt cellar for example)
might cause the surface to crack. If you fi nd a crack in
the surface immediately disconnect the appliance from
the supply and arrange for its repair.
Care should be taken that no water seeps into the
appliance.
Naturally, the surface must be washed after use
in order to prevent it from becoming scratched or
dirty.
Only scratches in the hob surface reported
within 14 days of cooker installation are covered
by the guarantee. Scratches caused by usage are
not covered.
When cooking on the hob you may see the hob
area you are using switch off and on. This is caused
by a safety device that limits the temperature of
the hob. It is quite normal, especially when cooking
at high temperatures. If it happens a lot with a
particular pan however it may mean the pan is not
suitable – perhaps too small or too uneven - for a
ceramic hob.
8 The areas marked with two concentric circles have
an inner and an outer element.
Turn the control knob clockwise to heat the whole area
for larger pans - turn it the other way to just heat the
inner part for smaller pans.
10 Never cook directly on the surface.
Sugar spillage will permanently damage the
hob and therefore must be cleaned off with care
immediately. Never let sugar spillage cool before
trying to remove it.
If sugar or foods with high sugar content,
aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally
allowed to melt on the hob surface remove them
immediately from the hot cooking area using
a scraper to avoid any possible damage to the
surface. See the ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of
these instructions.
Never cut directly on the cooking surface.
Don’t cook directly on the hob surface i.e. without
a pan or utensil
Don’t use the hob as a work surface
Don’t drag or slide utensils across the hob surface
Don’t place anything between the base of the pan
and the hob surface (i.e. asbestos mats, aluminium
foil, Wok stand)
The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food
aff ects the setting required. Higher settings are
required for larger quantities of food.
Don’t leave utensils, foodstuff s or combustible
items on the hob when it is not in use. (e.g. tea
towels, frying pans containing oil)
Don’t place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic
containers on the hob
Don’t leave the hob zones switched on unless
being used for cooking
Don’t place large preserving pans or fi sh kettles
across two heating zones
Don’t place utensils partly covering a heating zone.
Always place utensils centrally.

The Glide-out™ Grill
Caution: Accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is in use. Young children
should be kept away.
Before using the grill for the fi rst time, make
sure that all packing materials have been
removed and then to dispel manufacturing
odours, turn on the grill and run for 30 minutes
with the grill pan in position, pushed fully back,
and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the
outside air, by opening windows or turning on a
cooker hood for example. We recommend that
people with respiratory or allergy problems
should vacate the area for this brief period.
Using the grill
1
Open the grill door and pull the grill pan carriage
forward using the handle.
3 For best results preheat for 2 minutes with the grill
pan in position. After placing your food on the grill pan
grid, slide in the grill carriage. Adjust the heat to suit by
turning the knob.
Make sure the grill carriage is pushed right in.
Never close the grill door when the grill is on.
4 The grill pan grid can be turned over to give two
grilling positions.
Don’t leave the grill on for more than a few
moments, without the grill pan underneath it.
For best results, especially with toast, preheat the
grill with the grill pan in the cooking position for
two minutes before use.
The grill pan gets very hot when the grill is on.
Don't touch the pan or trivet unless you are sure
it is cool.
2 After placing your food on the grill grid, slide the
grill carriage into the grill chamber. Make sure it is
pushed right in.
The grill has two elements that allow either the whole
area of the pan to be heated or just the right hand half.
To heat the whole grill, turn the knob clockwise.
Before you remove any of the grill parts for
cleaning make sure that they are cool or use
oven gloves.
The grill trivet can be removed and the food placed
on it while you are waiting for the grill to preheat.
The grill pan and grill pan carriage can be easily
removed for cleaning. See the ‘Cleaning your
cooker’ section of these instructions.
When you pull the grill pan forward is the wide rim
at the front? It's important that the wider part is at
the front.
To heat the right hand half turn it anticlockwise.
The neon indicator light by the grill control will come
on.

The Ovens
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid the touching heating elements
inside the oven.
Before using for the fi rst time, to dispel manufacturing odours turn the ovens to 230°C and run for an
hour. To clear the smell, make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening windows or
turning on a cooker hood for example. We recommend that people with respiratory or allergy problems
should vacate the area for this brief period.
The clock must be set to the time of day before the ovens will work. See ‘The Clock’ section for instructions on
setting the time of day.
The Left Hand Oven The Right Hand Tall Oven
The left hand oven is a Multi-function oven. As well as
the oven fan and fan element, it is fi tted with two extra
heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven
and the second under the oven base. Take care to avoid
touching the top element and element defl ector when
placing or removing items from the oven. For more
detail on this oven see the section ‘Multi-function oven’.
The fan in the right hand oven circulates hot air
continuously, which means faster more even cooking.
The recommended cooking temperatures for a fanned
oven are generally lower than a non-fanned oven.
The Multi-function
oven has two
controls, a function
selector and a
temperature setting
knob.
Turn the function selector
control to a cooking
function. This is the fan oven
setting.
Turn the oven temperature
knob to the temperature
you need.
The oven heating light will
glow until the oven has
reached the temperature
you selected. It will then
cycle on and off during
cooking.
Turn the oven temperature

The ovens can now be
used normally.
Cooking using the timer
The timer can be used to turn just one oven or
both on and off automatically. The start and stop
time must be the same for both ovens but diff erent
cooking temperatures can be set.
If you want to turn one of the ovens on at the
same time as the timer is set for automatic
cooking, you must wait until the timer has turned
on the oven/ ovens fi rst. Then you can adjust
either of them manually in the normal way.
You can set the oven to turn on any time over the
following 24 hour period.
If you want to cook more than one dish, choose
dishes that require ap prox i mate ly the same time.
However, dishes can be ‘slowed down’ slightly
by using small containers and covering them
with aluminium foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by
cooking smaller quantities or placing in larger
containers.
Very perishable foods such as pork or fi sh should be
avoided if a long delay period is planned, especially
in hot weather.
Don’t place warm food in the oven.
Don’t use an oven already warm.
Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm.
Both Ovens
The wire shelves should always be pushed fi rmly to
the back of the oven.
Baking trays, meat tins et cetera should be placed level
and centrally on the oven’s wire shelves. Keep all trays
and containers away from the sides of the oven, as
overbrowning of the food may occur.
For even browning maximum recommended size
for a baking tray is:-

foods can create a ‘steam burst’,
when the oven door is opened.
When opening the oven stand
well back and allow any steam
to disperse.
When the oven is on, don’t leave
the door open for longer than
necessary, otherwise the knobs
may get very hot.
• Always leave a ‘fi ngers width’
between dishes on the same shelf. This allows the
heat to circulate freely around them.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning your
cooker) work better when fat splashes are avoided.

Avoid using wine or beer if there is a delay period,
as fermentation may take place.
To avoid curdling, cream should be added to
dishes just before serving.
Fresh vegetables, which may discolour during a
delay period, should be coated in melted fat or
immersed in a water and lemon juice solution.
Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet mixtures on
top of uncooked pastry are only sat is fac to ry if there
is a short delay period. Dishes containing leftover
cooked meat or poultry should not be cooked
automatically if there is a delay period.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted
before placing in the oven.
Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked
before serving.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables
to hot fat around a roast, dry them thor ough ly or
brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Suffi cient heat rises out of the oven while
cooking to warm plates in the grill compartment.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat a baking tray for 15 minutes before
placing the dish in the centre of the tray.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking tray.

Multi-function oven
The Multi-function oven is on the left hand side.
It has many varied uses. We sug gest you keep a
careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar
with each function. Remember - not all functions
will be suitable for all food types.
Please remember that all cookers vary temperatures in your new Elan ovens may diff er to
those in your previous cooker.
Multi-function oven functions
Defrost
This function operates the fan to circulate
cold air only. No heat is applied. This enables small
items such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of
meat, fi sh and poultry to be defrosted.
Fan oven
This function operates the fan and the
heating element around it. An even heat is
produced throughout the oven, allowing you to
cook large amounts quickly.
Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking
on several shelves at one time and is a good ‘allround’ function. It may be necessary to reduce the
temperature by approximately 10°C for recipes
previously cooked in a conventional oven.
If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until the
indicator light has gone out before inserting the
food.
Fanned grilling
This function operates the fan whilst the top
element is on. It produces a more even, less fi erce
heat than a conventional grill. For best results, place
the food to be grilled, on a grid over a roasting tin,
which should be smaller than a conventional grill
pan. This allows greater air circulation. Thick pieces
of meat or fi sh are ideal for grilling in this way, as
the circulated air reduces the fi erceness of the heat
from the grill. The oven door should be kept closed
whilst grilling is in progress, so saving energy. You
will also fi nd that the food needs to be watched
and turned less than for normal grilling. Pre-heat
this function before cooking.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and
protects the food from fl ies. Pieces of meat, fi sh and
poultry should be placed on a rack, over a tray to
catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and tray
after defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed.
Large items, such as whole chickens and
joints should not be defrosted in this way. We
recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator.
Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm
oven or when an adjoining oven is in use or still
warm.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are
completely defrosted before cooking.
Fan assisted oven
This function operates the fan, circulating
air heated by the elements at the top and the
base of the oven. The combination of fan and
conventional cooking (top and base heat) makes
this function ideal for cooking large items that need
thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast. It is
also possible to bake on two shelves at one time,
although they will need to be swapped over during
the cooking time, as the heat at the top of the
oven is greater than at the base, when using this
function.
This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an
eye on the food cooking until you have become
accustomed to this function.
