BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

RATING PLATE

This is situated on the lower front frame of the

appliance and can be seen upon opening the door.

Alternatively the rating plate may also be found on

the back or top of some models (where applicable).

The appliance must be protected by a suitably rated

fuse or circuit breaker. The rating of the appliance is

given on the rating plate.

Do not remove the rating plate from the appliance

as this may invalidate the guarantee.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR APPLIANCE

Wipe over the base of the oven(s) with a soft cloth

and hot soapy water and wash the furniture before

use. We suggest that you run the oven elements for

10 – 15 minutes at 220

from their surfaces. The procedure should be

repeated with the grill for approximately 5 – 10

minutes. During this period an odour may be

emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for

ventilation.

C to burn off any residue

CONTROL PANEL INDICATOR NEON(S)

The indicator neon will operate when the grill (where

applicable) or oven(s) is switched on. The indicator

neon will glow. It may turn on and off during use to

show that the setting is being maintained. If the neon

does not operate as the instructions indicate the

controls have been incorrectly set. Return all

controls to zero and reset following the instructions

for the required setting.

CONDENSATION AND STEAM

When food is heated it produces steam similar to a

boiling kettle. The vents allow some of this steam to

escape. However, always stand back from the

appliance when opening the door(s) 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 appliance, e.g. a trim, it will

condense and produce water droplets. This is quite

normal and is not caused by a fault on the appliance.

To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away

condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

For your safety wall coverings at the rear of the

appliance should be securely fixed to the wall.

COOKWARE

Baking trays, oven dishes etc., should not be placed

directly against the grid covering the fan at the back

of the main oven.

Do not use baking trays larger than 30cm x 35cm

(12” x 14”) as they will restrict the circulation of heat

and may affect performance.

GRILL AND OVEN FURNITURE

The following items of grill and oven furniture have been supplied with the appliance.

1 grill pan

1 grill pan handle

1 grill pan grid

1 straight shelf (for grilling only)

2 straight shelves (for fan oven cooking)

THE CERAMIC HOB

Do not use the appliance if the ceramic glass is damaged. If a fault or crack becomes visible, disconnect the appliance immediately from the electricity supply and contact your local Service Force Centre.

USING THE HOB

• To operate the hotplates turn the control knobs in

either direction to vary the heat setting.

• The highest number represents the hottest

setting and the lowest number represents the coolest setting.

RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS

Only saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids

are recommended. The saucepan base should be

approximately the same size as the cooking area.

Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to

remove edges and take off any deposits left from

manufacture.

Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used

even with a stand. Woks with flat-bottomed bases

are available and do comply with the above

recommendations.

NOTE:

Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch

ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being

used. This is due to a safety device which prevents

the glass from overheating.

Some switching ON and OFF when cooking at high

temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal,

causes no damage to the hob and little delay in

cooking times.

Excessive switching may however be caused by the

use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which

is smaller than the heated area. If excessive

switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the

hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and metal marks from saucepans with aluminium bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn on.

• Follow any guidelines provided by th e saucepan

manufacturer, particularly those relating to recommended heat settings.

• Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted

saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not be used.

• Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered

with a saucepan.

• Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean

and dry before the start of cooking.

• Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to

keep the hob looking like new.

• If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.

jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the hob before it sets and becomes hard otherwise damage to the hob will occur.

THE DUAL GRILL

CAUTION – Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use. Young children should be kept away.

The grill is a dual circuit grill which means that the full

area of the grill can be used or for economy

purposes, the centre section only can be used when

cooking smaller quantities of food.

USING THE DUAL GRILL

• Turn the top oven/grill control clockwise to the full

power setting ( ), then turn down as necessary.

The grill settings are as follows:-

• ( ) Full grill area at ¼ power.

• ( ) Centre grill area at full power.

• ( ) Full grill area at full power.

THINGS TO NOTE

• Do not leave appliance unattended when grill is

in use.

• Some smoke from fat splashes may be evident

as the grill cleans itself.

• The Top oven cannot be operated when the grill

is in use.

The grill door must be left open when grilling.

THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan has a removable handle.

To insert the handle, press the button on the handle

with the thumb and pivot slightly upwards inserting

the lip into the widest part of the bracket. Move the

handle towards the left, lower into position and

release the button.

Ensure the handle is properly located.

To remove the handle, press the button on the

handle with the thumb and pivot the handle slightly

upwards and towards the right to remove from the

bracket.

Protect your hands when removing the grill pan handle. Always remove the grill pan handle during

grilling.

To check the progress of the food being grilled, the

grill pan should be withdrawn on the shelf to attend to

food during cooking.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Most foods should be placed on the grid in the

grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices.

• Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to

allow for different thicknesses of food. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking.

• Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to

minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking.

• Accompaniments such as tomatoes and

mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats.

• When toasting bread, use the shelf in position 1

with the grid in the ‘high’ position.

• When using the centre section grill, ensure food

is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly beneath the grill element.

• Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes

before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary during cooking.

• The food should be turned over during cooking

as required.
