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.

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.
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.
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 left 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.
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
11
Never cook directly on the surface.
The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food
affects the setting required. Higher settings are
required for larger quantities of food.
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 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
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.

The Grill
CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when
the grill is in use. Young children should be
kept away.
Remove the pan from the bottom of the grill compartment.
After placing your food on the grill tray pan, slide the grill
pan onto the side supports just below the el e ments. Make
sure it is pushed right in and touches the backstop.
5
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.
The grill has two elements that allow ei ther the whole
area of the pan to be heated or just the right hand half.
Turn the knob to position 3.
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 back
stop.
Never close the grill door when the grill is on.
The grill pan grid can be turned over to give
two grilling positions.
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 as soon as the grill
is turned on. The fan will continue to run while
the grill.

The Ovens
During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid the touching heating
elements inside the oven.
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 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.
The right hand fan oven control is at the right hand end
of the control panel.
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

The ovens can now be used normally.
11
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 different 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.
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.
