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 difficult to remove.
Glass-ceramic cookware is not suitable because of its poor conductivity.
1
Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, flat bottoms. This
ensures that there is the maximum heat transfer from the hob to the pan, making cooking quick and energy efficient.
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 flat 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).

Be safe
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.
We recommend you read pages 20 - 21 if you have not used an electric cooker before. We describe some basic guidelines on how to use a cooker safely.
Electricity on
Make sure that the electricity supply is turned on.
Peculiar smells
When you first use your cooker It may give off a slight odour. This should stop after a little use.

The ratings of the cooking areas are shown on the diagram above.
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 find 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.

Never cook directly on the
surface.
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.
1210
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.
9
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 first (Warmer) position to heat the whole area to a low temperature. Use the Warmer for keeping food warm while the final touches are put to a meal. 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 as a normal hob plate.
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.
The drawing by each knob indicates which area that knob controls. This one is the left
hand dual circuit control. The setting you need depends on
the kind of pan you use and the quantity of food. Higher settings are required for larger quantities of food.
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.

GRILL
More about the grill on page 10
Remove the pan from the bottom of the grill compartment.
A cooling fan will start to run as soon as the grill is turned on. The fan will continue to run while the grill (or oven) is on and for about 10min after it is turned off. Never turn off the power supply to the cooker before the cooling fan stops.
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 backstop.
The grill has two elements that allow either the whole area of
the pan to be heated or only the right hand half of the grill pan to be heated.
Turn the control knob clockwise to heat the whole grill - turn it the other way to just heat the right hand half.

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.
Make sure it is pushed right in and touches the back stop.
Never close the grill door when the grill is on.

THE OVENS
More about the ovens on page 10
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid the touching heating elements inside the oven.
3
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.
The oven indicator light will glow until the oven has
reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle on and off during cooking.
2
Turn the oven knob to the temperature you need.
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 fan only setting. The fan circulates air inside the oven but the heating element is not
turned on. This setting is useful for defrosting frozen foods. Whole chickens and large joints of meat should be defrosted in the refrigerator. Do not defrost in a warm oven or whilst the adjoining oven is hot.

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 LEFT HAND OVEN THE RIGHT HAND FAN OVEN
The left hand conventional oven is fitted 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 deflector when placing or removing items from the oven.

You can use the timer to turn
the oven on and off. Check
clock is set to time of day. The clock must be set to the time of
day before the ovens will work.
To set the time of day
More about the clock on page 12
Press and hold as shown. At the same time, press (-) or (+) until the correct time shows. Don’t forget it’s a 24 hour clock. If you make a mistake or press the wrong button, turn off the power supply for a minute or two and start again.

Storage
The bottom drawer is for storing oven trays and other cooking utensils. It can get very warm, don’t store anything in it which may melt or catch fire. The drawer can be removed completely by pulling it right out and up.
Oven light
Press the appropriate button to turn on one of the oven lights.
If one of the oven lights fail,
turn
off the power supply
before you change the bulb. See the ‘Troubleshooting’ section for details on how to change an oven light bulb.
Warmer
Use the warmer for keeping food warm while the final touches are put to a meal. Turn the control knob to the first position - don’t turn it any further as this will heat up the inner hob plate. For best results, pre-heat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes before adding food to it.

PAR TS CHECK
You should have these loose parts with your cooker
Handyrack. The Handyrack is explained above. It may have been left fitted. It is easily removable.
Levelling tool. Your installer may have left this loose. Alternatively it may have been left behind the storage drawer. See page 12. You will only need it if you want to move your cooker
Handyrack
The Handyrack fits to the left hand oven door onl
y.
Food cooking on it is easy to attend to, because it’s accessible when the door is open. It can be fitted at two different heights. One of the oven shelves must be removed and the other positioned to suit.
When the Handyrack is used in its highest position, other dishes can be cooked on the bottom shelf position of the oven.
When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position, other dishes can be cooked on the second shelf position of the oven or standing on the base of the oven.
The maximum weight which can be held by the Handyrack is 5.5kg (12lb).
The roasting tray supplied with the oven fits into the Handyrack.
To fit the Handyrack, locate one side of it on the door bracket.
Then spring the other side out to clip it onto the other bracket.

The Hob
The hob control knobs can be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise.
On the dual circuit sections (those with two circles) turning the knob anticlockwise turns on the inner circle, turning it the other way heats up the whole area.
The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food affects 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.
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 ‘Cleaning your cooker’.
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, foodstuffs 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 fish 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.
The Warmer
The Warmer can be used for keeping food warm while the final touches are put to a meal.
Turn the control knob to the first position - don’t turn it any further as this will heat up the inner hob plate and plates etc. may be damaged.
For best results, pre-heat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes before adding food to it.
Use only heat resistant dishes.
