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. 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.
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.
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.
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 as a normal hob plate.

9
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.
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.
11
Never cook directly on the surface.
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.
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, 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.
Never allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.

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 first 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.
The clock must be set to the time of day before the Multifunction oven 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 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.
The right hand fan oven control is at the right hand end
of the control panel.
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 indicator light will glow until the oven has
reached the temperature you selected. It will then cycle
on and off during cooking.

Cooking using the timer
The timer can control the Multifunction oven only.
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.
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.
Many frozen foods are ideal for delayed cooking
and can be placed in the oven while still frozen.
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.
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.
9
For even browning, the maximum recommended size
for a baking tray is 330mm by 290mm.
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.
• 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.
Multi-function oven
The left hand oven of your cooker is Multi-function.
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 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.
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.
10
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. The supplied pan can
used either on an oven shelf or on the Handygrill rack
(see the Handygrill section of the instructions) The
pan is designed to allow 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.
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.
Conventional oven
(top and base heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked
on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than on
the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top
of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan assisted oven’
function. Similar items being cooked will need to be
swapped around for even cooking. This means that
foods requiring diff erent temperatures can be cooked
together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of
the oven and hotter area to the top.
Browning element
This function uses the element in the top of
the oven only. It is a useful function for the browning
or fi nishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce,
shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be browned
being already hot before switching to the top
element.
Base heat
This function uses the base element only. It
will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or fi nish off
cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower shelf.
It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of
casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate
warming.
The Browning and Base heat functions are useful
additions to your oven, giving you fl ex i bil i ty to fi nish
off items to perfection. With use, you will soon realise
how these functions can com bine to extend your
cooking skills.
