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, to dispel manufacturing odours, turn the
ovens to 240°C and run for an hour.
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 for example.

The Hob
When you cook on a ceramic hob its very important
to use the right sort of pans...
1
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.
5
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.
6
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.
2
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.
Never use a round bottomed Wok even with a stand.
3
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).
4
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.
7
The ratings of the cooking areas are shown on the
diagram above.
8
On the right of the hob is a dual purpose area. The
inner ring marks out a 1.2kW hob area, the outer line
marks the extent of the Warmer. Turn the control to the
fi rst (Warmer) position to heat the whole area to a low
temperature. Use the Warmer for keeping food warm
while the fi nal touches are put to a meal. For best results,
pre-heat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes before
adding food to it.
For best results, pre-heat a covered serving dish for 10
minutes before adding food to it.
Use only heat resistant dishes.
Turn it further to use the inner ring area as a normal hob
plate.

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.
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.
Naturally, the surface must be washed after use in
order to prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty.
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.
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.
10
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.
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 this instruction.
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)
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
11
Never cook directly on the surface.
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.
Never allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
5
The Grill
Caution: Accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is in use. Young children
should be kept away.
Before using for the fi rst time, 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.
Remove the pan from the bottom of the grill
compartment.
For best results preheat for 2 minutes with the grill pan in
position. After placing your food on the grill pan grid, slide
the grill pan onto the side supports. Adjust the heat to suit
by turning the knob.
Make sure it is pushed right in and touches the backstop.
Never close the grill door when the grill is on.
After placing your food on the grill tray pan, slide the grill
pan onto the side supports just below the elements. Make
sure it is pushed right in and touches the back stop.
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 to
position 3.
To heat the right hand half turn it anticlockwise.
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 trivet can be removed and the food placed
on it while you are waiting for the grill to preheat.
You can brown the top of dishes cooked in the oven,
under the grill by placing the dish onto the base of
the grill pan, which can easily slide along the fl oor of
the grill cavity.
A cooling fan will start to run when the grill is on. The
fan will continue to run while the grill is on and for
some minutes after it is turned off . Never turn off the
power supply to the cooker before the cooling fan
stops.

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 240°C and run for an hour.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by opening windows or turning on a cooker hood
for example.
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 Oven
The left hand conventional oven is fi tted with two
heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven and
the second under the oven base.
Be careful to avoid touching the top element and
element defl ector when placing or removing items from
the oven.
Turn the oven knob to the temperature you need.
The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has reached the
temperature you selected. It will then cycle on and off during
cooking.
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.
When cooking foods with high water content (e.g. oven chips) there
may be some steam visible at the grille at the rear of the hotplate.
This is perfectly normal

) and
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.
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 approximately 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.

) and
Don’t place warm food in the oven.
Don’t use an oven already warm.
Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm.
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 satisfactory 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.
Both Ovens
Before using for the fi rst time, to dispel
manufacturing odours turn the ovens to 240°C
and run for an hour. To clear the smell make sure
the room is well ventilated to the outside air, by
opening windows for example.
A cooling fan will start to run as soon as an oven is
turned on. The fan will continue to run while the oven
(or grill) is on and for about 10min after it is turned
off . At low oven settings the fan may cycle on and off .
Never turn off the power supply to the cooker before
the cooling fan stops.

The wire shelves should always be pushed fi rmly to
the back of the oven.
Baking trays meat tins etcetera should be placed
level 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, the maximum recommended size
for a baking tray is 340mm by 340mm.
Cooking high moisture content
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.
Cover meat when cooking.
As well as the fl at shelves some models are supplied
with a drop shelf. The drop shelf increases the
possibilities for oven shelf spacing.
The oven shelves can be easily removed and refi tted.
Pull the shelf forward
until the back of the shelf
is stopped by the shelf
stop bumps in the oven
sides.
Lift up the front of the
shelf so the back of the
shelf will pass under the
shelf stop and then pull
the shelf forward.
• 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.
• 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.
Oven shelves
To re fi t the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove in the
oven side and push the shelf back until the ends hit
the shelf stop. Lift up the front so the shelf ends clear
the shelf stops, and then lower the front so that the
shelf is level and push it fully back.
the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards
