HOW TO USE YOUR COOKING HOB
Hilight (radiant) cooking zones
Cooking zones turn red within 10 seconds after they
have been switched on. They become red and then
dark again while they are in use (refer to the ”Cooking
Guides” chapter).
Each cooking zone is protected by a temperature
limiter that switches it off if it overheats (for example
operation with nothing on it).
To switch a zone on:
•
Turn the knob towards the right or the left.
•
Put the knob to the maximum position for a few
seconds, and then move it to the selected setting
and the ”On” light comes on.
To switch a zone off:
•
Turn the knob to the ”0” position.
The ”On” light goes off, unless another zone is
switched on.
The ”hob on” light
The ”On” light comes on when you turn one of the
cooking zone knobs. It goes off when all zones are
switched off.
Safety
•
Each zone has a residual heat light (safety
indicator). This light comes on when the element
is hot. When you switch a zone off, the light
remains on as long as there is a risk of the heat
released bytheelement causing a burn(even ifthe
zone is no longer red). This will not indicate
residual heat if there is a power cut.
•
We recommend that young children should not be
allowed to come close to the appliance until these
lights have all gone off.
•
Never put anything on the cooking hob that could
melt (utensils with plastic handles, aluminum foil,
food containing sugar, etc.); clean immediately
following an accident.
•
If the hob is damaged or cracked, disconnect the
cooker from the electricity supply and contact your
local Service Force Centre.
•
Never leave a cooking zone switched on if there is
no pan on it.

COOKING FUNCTIONS
Fan oven
Dishes can be cooked on
one or several levels
using
the fan oven. The circulation of hot air produces an
even cooking temperature. Fan oven cooking is ideal
for all types of dishes.
The ad vantages of fan oven
Faster preheating :
•
As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is
not usually necessary to preheat the oven
although you may find that you need to allow an
extra 5--7 minutes on cooking times.
Lower temperatures :
•
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperature than conventional cooking. Follow
the temperatures recommended in the charts or
remember to reduce temperatures by about
20--25°C for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
Even heating for baking :
•
The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf
positions. This means that batches of the same
food can be cooked in the oven at the same time.
However, the top shelf may brown slightly quicker
than the lower one. This is quite usual. There is no
mixing of flavours between dishes.
Cooking frozen dishes
•
With fan oven cooking, you can put frozen food
(ready--cooked food, meat, chicken) straight into
the oven
without thawing
. There is no need to
preheat the oven in this case : simply reduce the
temperature slightly at the start of cooking.
With commercial frozen foods, refer to the cooking
instructions for conventional oven cooking on the
packaging.
How to proceed ?
1. Turn the function selector to and then the
temperature control on the required temperature.
Refer to cooking guides.
15
Cooking the same type of food on two
levels
Which accessories to use ?
In most cases, use wire shelves on runners
➀
and➂.
See cooking charts.
Cooking different types of dishes on
two levels
The multi--level position makes it possible for you to
cook a complete meal at once. Todo so, be guided by
the following recommendations :
•
The various dishes should require similar
temperatures.
•
Overall cooking time should be the same as the
longest cooking time required.
•
Different dishes may be placed inside or removed
from the oven at different times. This depends on
the cooking time required for each of them, and
possibly on the order in which they are to be
served.
•
Take care not to open the oven door while another
dish could be adversely affected (for instance,
opening thedoor could prevent acake from rising).
•
Remember that certain dishes rise in cooking, so
leave enough space between shelves.
•
Meat and poultry should preferably be placed on
shelf
➀
so as not to spit on other dishes.
Defrosting
The fan oven operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increa-
ses the speed of defrosting. However, please notethat
the temperature of the kitchen will influence the speed
of defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food
which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled
gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast
products.
How to proceed ?
1. Turn the oven function selector to .
2. Ensure the temperature control knob is in the Off
position
.
Hints and tips
•
Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film
to prevent drying out during defrosting.
•
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
•
Frozen food should be placed in a single layer
when ever possible and turned over half way
through the defrosting process.
•
Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 kg (4lb.)are
suitable for defrosting in this way.
16
Thermal grilling
Thermal grilling is used with the door
closed. Never leave the grill unattended
when cooking.
Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of
cooking food items normally associated with
conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven
fan operate alternately, circulating hot air around the
food. The need to check and turn the food is reduced.
Thermal grilling helps to minimize cooking smells in
the kitchen.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks, you can
thermally grill all the foods you would normally cook
under a conventional grill. Cooking is more gentle,
therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook
with thermal grilling compared with conventional
grilling. One of the advantages is that larger loads can
be cooked at the same time.
The pre--heating is not necessary for this cooking
method.
How to proceed ?
Grilling
1. Prepare the food to be grilled.
2. Place the food directly on the grill pan grid.
3. Set the function selector to
and then the
temperature control to the required temperature
(see cooking guides).
4. Place the grill pan on runner
➂or➃
depending on
the thickness of the food being grilled.
5. When one side is browned, turn the meat over
without piercing ittoavoid losing juices. For poultry
and sausages, piercing before cooking is
recommended.
6. Cook the other side.
7. Season when cooking has finished.
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat
and not on its weight.
Browning toppings
1. Set the function selector to
and then the
temperature control to the required temperature
(see cooking guide).
2. Place thedishcontaining the food onthe shelf. The
closer the food is to grill element the faster the
browning will occur.
3. Leave thedishunderthe grill for afew minutes until
the food is bubbling and browned.
17
Roasting meat
This position is ideal for cooking meat.
Spitting of fat, smoking and odours are considerably
reduced.
Meat is evenly browned and tender, while the oven
stays cleaner longer.
How to proceed ?
1. Preheat the oven by putting the selector in the
position
and then the thermostat on the
temperature required.
2. Place the meat in the oven, then, without changing
the temperature position, place the selector in the
position, for roasting meat.
18
Preheating
This function is suitable for preheating the oven when
you have to roast meat (see cooking guide).
How to proceed ?
1. Turn the function selector to and the
temperature control knob to the required
temperature (see cooking guides). The
temperature control indicator will light up and
remain lit until the required temperature has been
reached.
2. When the temperature indicator light goes out,
turn the function selector to the roasting meat
position
.
3. Place the dish in the oven.
19
Conventional oven
Ideal for all types of cooking, especially baking, fish,
terrines and vegetable based dishes.
The oven should be pre--heated.
To ensure even heat distribution, we recommend you
cook on one level only.
How to proceed ?
1. Pre--heat the oven by setting the function selector
to
and the temperature control to the required
temperature. See the cooking guide.
Pre--heating time :
•
Approximatively 6
1/2
minutes to reach 150°C.
•
Approximatively 9 minutes to reach 200°C.
2. Place the dish in the oven as soon as the
temperature indicator light goes off.
20
Grill
Use the grill with the oven door closed
to
prevent damage to the control panel.
Never leave the grill unattended when cooking.
Preheat for 3 to 5 minutes.
This cooking mode is ideal for cuts of meat (pork
chops, sausages,...) which stay tender and juicy, for
toasting or for browning toppings on prepared dishes,
preferably hot (e.g. macaroni cheese).
How to proceed ?

HINTS AND TIPS : THE HOB
Safety
•
The ceramic cooking hob of your cooker is
insensitive to temperature variations and resists
minor shocks. However, it is not unbreakable. Do
not use your hob as a countertop and do not drop
small objects (spice jars, sharp tools, etc.), on it.
•
If your hob is damaged (spalling, crack, etc.) by a
shock, disconnect the cooker from the electricity
supply and contact your local Service Force
Centre.
•
Never heat an empty pan on the ceramic hob.
•
Never cook food on the cooking zone or in
aluminum foil directly, since this could cause
irrecoverable damage to your hob.
•
Never put anything made of plastic onto the hot
surfaces.
Practical recommendations
•
Cover your pots and pans whenever you can,
depending on your recipe, this will save energy.
•
Put the knobback to the ”0” position before the end
of cooking. You can finish cooking using the
residual heat in the cooking zone.
•
You can take advantage of the residual heat in the
cooking area to keep your dishes warm, as longas
the light is on.
•
Put the knob to a lower setting a few minutes
before boiling starts to prevent spills (milk, oil,
sauce, etc.). Do not overfill your receptacles.
•
Clean any largespills immediately (milk, rice water
or water for pasta) then finish cleaning when the
cooking hob is only slightly warm, or is cold.
Right
Choice of saucepans and frying pans
•
Always choose apan appropriate for thesize ofthe
zone being used:
-- 14 to 16 cm diameter for the front right and
the back left elements.
-- 18 to 22 cm diameter for the front left and
back right elements.
•
All pans used on traditional electric hot plates can
also be used on the ceramic hob, provided that
they have a perfectly flat bottom. Do not use
saucepans made of aluminum or an enamel metal
with a thin bottom; they could become deformed,
thus reducing the cooking efficiency.
•
Cast iron pans (for example casseroles) are
particularly suitable for use on a ceramic hob, but
the base of these pans is often rough.
•
Do not slide pans across the cooking surface, lift
them before moving them.
•
Keep the bases of pans clean and dry, since dirt
incrusted on the bottom can scratch the glass
surface.
Wrong
22
HINTS FOR SUCCESSFUL COOKING
Choice of ovenware
The thickness, conductivity and colour of ovenware
affect the cooking results.
A) Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and
aluminium with a non--stick interior
reduce
cooking and base browning. These materials
are recommended forlight,soft textured cakes
and roasts.
B) Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,
zinc--plated iron, porcelain, aluminium with a
non--stick interior and coloured exterior
increase
cooking and base browning. These
materials are recommended in particular for
tarts, quiches and crispy baking that should be
browned beneath as well as on top.

Use a tin or dish
typeAor
place in higher runner
During cooking, certain dishes increase in volume, so
remember to choose a container big enough : ideally,
the uncooked dish should take uponly twothirds ofthe
container, leaving the upper third free for expansion.
To avoid excessive spitting, use high--sided dishes for
roasting meat and poultry, or ovenproof glass roasting
trays with a lid, appropriate to the size of the joint.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven is vented to allow
some of this steam to escape. However, always stand
back from theovenwhen openingthedoor to allow any
build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense and
produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is not
caused by a fault on the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Practical tips
•
Pierce the skin of poultry or sausages with a fork
before cooking, to avoid the skin swelling and
bursting with the heat.
•
Leave as little fat as possible around joints of meat
to avoid spitting and reduce the fat content.
•
For tender joints of meat, turn halfway through
cooking and add a little hot water to the dish to
produce a tasty gravy and reduce spitting onto the
walls of the oven.
•
Do not exceed the temperature settings
recommended in the cooking guide for meat.
To save energy
•
Cook several dishes one after another, if possible,
to save the energy needed to pre--heat the oven
each time. Whenever possible, do not hesitate to
cook 2or 3 cakes ortarts, for example, at the same
time.

Ensure the hob is cool and that all control knobs are in
the off position before cleaning.
Clean the hob before each use, to ensure that nothing
will burn onto the ceramic hob.
Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as
oven sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring
powders, or sponges with an abrasive effect.
Special cleaning agents and ceramic hob scrapers are
available from your local Service Force Centre.
Cleaning after each use
Slight, non burnt soilage can be wiped off with a damp
cloth. Burnt soilage has to be removed with a scraper.
Afterwards wipe off the ceramic hobwith adamp cloth,
and clean with a ceramic hob cleaning agent.
Stain removal
Light metallics stains (aluminium residues) can be
removed from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob
cleaning agent when cool.
Sugar solutions, food stuffs with a high sugar content
must be removed immediately with a scraper. If this
type of soilage is not removed immediately it can
cause irreparable damage to the ceramic surface.
When the surface has cooled wipe over with a damp
cloth and clean with a ceramic hob cleaning agent.
Before using any detergent or cleaning agent on the
ceramic top, ensure they are recommended by the
manufacturer for use on ceramic hobs.
Do not apply any cleaning agents to hot cooking
zones. Ensure any residues are wiped off before the
cooking zones are used again.
Control panel and knobs
Use a moist sponge dampened with soapy water.
Then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Door, drawer and sides
Use a wet sponge to which a mild detergent has been
added. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Never use abrasive products.
If a chemical cleaner proves inadequate
Check whether the use of a scraper is more effective.
. when darks stains occur If the use of a scraper and a ceramic hob cleaner proves
unsuccessful, your hob surface may have been damaged by using
unsuitable cleaning agents, or by pan bases with a scouring effect.
This will not impair the efficiency of your ceramic hob.
. when metallic discolourations appear on
the cooking zone
Pots and pans with unsuitable bottoms, or unsuitable cleaning agents
have been used. The discolourations can only be removed with
considerable effort, using a ceramic glass cleaner.
. when the surface shows scratches These may be caused by scraping or melted on objects and cannot
be removed. This will not impair the efficiency of your ceramic hob.

Replacing the oven light
Ensure the cooker is disconnected from the
electrical supply before changing the bulb.
The 25 W -- E14 (230/240 V) screw--in bulb is
a
special “heat--resistant” bulb
capable of
withstanding temperatures up to 300°C. Replacement
bulbs are available through your local Service Force
Centre.
The bulb is located at the back innerside of the oven
and can be reached from inside the oven.
To replace the bulb :
1. Unscrew the bulb protection cover (turn
anti--clockwise).
2. Unscrew the bulb anti--clockwise.
3. Screw in a new bulb.
4. Screw in the bulb protecting cap carefully.

CLEANING AND CARE
Cleaning of the pyrolytic enamel oven
The principle
The walls of the oven are made of special high
temperature enamel which is shiny in appearance and
smooth to the touch.
During the pyrolytic cleaning, the temperature of the
oven reaches approximatively 500°C. The food and
grease splatters are carbonised and wiped away as
ash residue when the interior is completely cold.
Smoke is filtered out by a catalyser.
The safety
The pyrolytic cleaning is perfectly safe : a safety lock
prevents any accidental opening of the door as soon
as the temperature in the oven approaches 300°C.
Beyond 300°C, the door remains locked even if the
pyrolysis cycle is interrupted (by a power failure or
deliberately). You will not be able to open the door
again until the oven has cooled.
During the cleaning cycle, a fan operates. Ventilation
continues even after the cleaning cycle until the oven
has cooled sufficiently.
Pyrolytic cleaning can only be carried out under
the control of the programmer.
Regular maintenance
After cooking, remember to wipe off any splashes or
stains with a damp sponge.
For better visibility when cleaning the oven, set the
selector to
position.
In the event of spills on the bottom panel, soak the
panel but do not scrape it and avoid abrasive cleaning
products that risk damaging surfaces (enamel,
varnish, lacquer).
Periodic maintenance
After a cleaning cycle, wipe up the ash residue left by
the pyrolytic cleaning process. Do not hesitate to run
a cleaning cycle as often as necessary. We
recommend you to run a pyrolytic cycle once per
month. This is just an indication : the frequency
depends on the level of soiling.
Run the cleaning cycle immediately after cooking to
take advantage of the residual heat in the oven. The
cleaning process will mean the oven is unavailable for
use for approximately 2 hours 30 minutes.
How to proceed ?
1. Empty the oven of all accessories (oven shelves,
grill pan). The high temperature during the
pyrolytic cycle could damage them as well as the
cavity.
2. If necessary, remove all excess soilage which
could cause too much smoke to be absorbed by
the catalyser.
3. Close the oven door.
4. Set the function selector and temperature controls
on the pyrolytic
position .
5. Programme the pyrolytic cleaning in semi
automatic or fully automatic operation (see
following page).
6. Once the pyrolytic cycle time is over :
Return the control knobs to their OFF positions
(temperature control on
●
and then function
selector on0).
The“
oven on
” neonindicator switches off andthe
door unlocks when the temperature inside the
oven is cool enough.
Cleaning the accessories
Clean them with a warm washing up liquid solution.
Rinse and dry carefully.
