Operation
Ceramic hob cooking zones
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the relevant control
knob clockwise to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 - 3
0 - OFF
3 - Maximum.
The hob has two types of cooking zones:
2 normal cooking zones (back left and front
right)
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (3)
for a short while to boost the cooking zone, and then
adjusted to the required setting.
2 double circuit cooking zones (back right and
front left)
The back right and front left cooking zones have two
heating elements.
- To switch on the smaller circular cooking zone, turn
the relevant control knob clockwise to the required
heat setting.
- To switch on both heating elements, turn the control
knob clockwise to maximum heat setting (3) then
turn the knob further to nearly reach the "0" symbol.
You will hear a "click" and the wider cooking zone
will switch on.
Then turn back the knob to position 3 and adjust
it to the required heat setting.
Please be aware that the two heating elements will now
operate together, giving a higher power output than a
normal cooking zone.

The corresponding indicator will remain on until the
temperature falls below 30° C, even after the cooking zone
is switched off.
When switch on a cooking zone, a short buzzing
may be heard. This is quite normal and does
not affect the hob operation in any way.

Using the ceramic glass hob
Ceramic glass surface
The glass is hard, and has been tempered to withstand
heat, cold and temperature shocks. But like all glass it
is sensitive to impact. Do not stand on the ceramic glass
surface.
If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect
the cooker from the electrical supply and call
you nearest Service Force Centre.
Keep all objects and materials which can melt
away from the cooking surface, e.g. plastics,
aluminium foil.
Care should be taken when preparing food or drinks
containing sugar. If anything of this nature
accidentally comes into contact with the ceramic
surface it must be scraped off immediately while
stlll hot and wiped away to avoid damage to the
surface.
Energy consumption
To save energy, you should . .
- use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat
bases.
- place pots and pans in position before switching on
the cooking zone.
- wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.
- switch off the cooking zone a few minutes before the
end of the cooking time, in order to make use of the
residual heat.
- use the residual heat of the cooking zones for keeping
food warm or for melting.
- position pots and pans centrally on the cooking zones.
Saucepans and frying pans
Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller than
the cooking zone, and preferably not more than 10-15
mm larger than the diameter of the cooking zone.
Always use cooking and frying utensils with smooth, flat
bases.
The bases should always be clean and dry. Cook with a
lid in place.
Check that the bases of utensils are smooth and
undamaged; bases with burrs and sharp edges will
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic cooking
surface, pots and pans should be moved on the plate by
lifting them, and not by sliding.
Utensils with aluminium and copper bases can leave
behind metallic discolourations which can only be
removed with difficulty or sometimes not at all.

Using the Oven
Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the drop down
oven door. Do not allow it to fall open support the door using the door handle,
until it is fully open.
The oven has four shelf levels, and is supplied
with two shelves.
The shelf positions are counted from the bottom
of the oven as shown in the diagram.
It is important that these shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.
Hints and Tips
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back from
the oven when opening the oven door 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 a
fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Cookware
Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
A Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and base browning.
B Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and dark,
heavy utensils increase cooking and base browning.
10
Page 11
Using the Conventional Oven
When using this setting, heat comes from both the top
and bottom elements. This allows you to cook on a single
level and is particularly suitable for dishes which require
extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches and flans.
Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top
browning also cook well in the conventional oven. This
form of cooking gives you the opportunity to cook without
the fan in operation.
How to Use the
F
Conventional Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to the required
cooking function ( ).
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required temperatu-
re.
Top oven element only
This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, e.g.
lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc.
Hints and Tips
The middle shelf position allows for the best heat
distribution. To increase base browning simply lower the
shelf position. To increase top browning, raise the shelf
position.
The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes
used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark, heavy
or non-stick utensils increase base browning, while oven
glassware, shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect
the heat away and give less base browning.
Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure even
browning.
Stand dishes on suitably sized baking trays to prevent
spillage onto the base of the oven and make cleaning
easier.
Do not place dishes, tins or baking trays directly on the
oven base as it becomes very hot and damage will occur.
For faster preheating use the fan oven function to preheat
the oven until the oven indicator neon goes out, then
swich the selector to the conventional oven setting.
Single level cooking gives best results. If you
require more than one level cooking use the fan
oven function.
Bottom oven element only
This function is particularly useful when blind-baking
pastry. It may also be used to finish off quiches or flans
to ensure the base pastry is cooked through.
THINGS TO NOTE
l
The oven light will come on when the oven function
control knob is set.

The Fan Oven
The air inside the oven is heated by the element around
the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates
hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven.
The advantages of cooking with this function are:
l
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. For recipes which require higher
temperatures, best results are achieved if the oven
is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries, scones,
souffles, etc.
l
Lower Temperatures
Fan oven cooking generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional cooking.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the
cooking chart. Remember to reduce temperatures by
about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use
conventional cooking.
l
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.
How to Use the Fan Oven
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required tempera-
ture.
THINGS TO NOTE
l
The oven light will come on when the oven function
control knob is set.
l
The thermostat control light will remain on until the
correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on
and off to show that temperature is being
maintained.
Hints and Tips
- Shelf positions are not critical, but make sure the
shelves are evenly spaced.
- When cooking more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.
- When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer cooking time.
- When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal
trays of small cakes or equal size victoria sandwich
cakes, then they will be cooked in the same time
and removed from the oven together. When different
sizes of trays or types of food, e.g. biscuits and cakes
are cooked, they will not necessarily be ready
together.
- The fan oven can be used to heat foods through without
thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies, sausage rolls,
and other small pastry items. Use a temperature of
190-200°C and allow 20-40 minutes (depending on
the quantity of food in the oven).
- The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Check with the recommendations for oven
temperatures given in the cooking charts, but be
prepared to adjust the temperature, if necessary.
Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-25°C
for your own conventional recipes.
- When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat
and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below and
can be used to make gravy. The trivet also prevents
splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.
- The meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crack.

Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the speed of defrosting. However, please note that 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 Use Defrosting
F
1. Turn the oven function control knob to .
2. Ensure the thermostat 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. (4 lb.) are
suitable for defrosting in this way.
Refer to the following table for approximate defrosting
times.

Grilling
Grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed. The grill pan handles must be removed
from the pan.
F
How to Use the Grill
1. Turn the oven control function knob to .
2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required
temperature.
3. 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.
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.
During cooking, the thermostat control light will operate
in the same way as described for the fan oven function.
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. Food such as fish, liver and
kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if
preferred.
- 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, we suggest that the top runner
position is used.
- The food should be turned over during cooking, as

Cleaning the Ceramic Hob
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the cooker from the
electricity supply.
Before cleaning, make sure the hob is cool.
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 such as Hob Brite 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 hob with a damp cloth,
and Hob Brite.
Stain removal
Light metallic stains (aluminium residues) can be removed
from the cooking zone with a ceramic hob cleaning agent
such as Hob Brite 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 Hob
Brite.
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.
Special problems
If a chemical cleaner proves inadequate Check whether the use of a scraper is more effective.
l 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.
l when metallic discolourations appear on Pots and pans with unsuitable bottoms, or unsuitable cleaning
the cooking zone agents have been used. The discolourations can only be
removed with considerable effort, using a ceramic glass
cleaner.
l 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

Cleaning the Oven
The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in
a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check
that they are suitable and that their use is recommended
by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should
also be avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door
seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little washing up liquid has been added.
To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass
panels avoid the use of the following:
Household detergent and bleaches
Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans
Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads
Chemical oven pads or aerosols
Rust removers
Bath/Sink stain removers
Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy
water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled
it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite, or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not
observed the glass panel may shatter.
Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the
oven is still warm.
Wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm
soapy water after each use. From time to time it will be
necessary to do a more thorough cleaning, using a
proprietary oven cleaner.
If the soilage has become set, after the oven has cooled
down, the following process will help to soften the
splatters to help make cleaning easier.
F
1. Place the grill/ meat pan on the oven shelf
positioned in the lowest runner.
2. Add a few drops of washing-up liquid to the
pan and fill to about 12 mm. with boiling water
from the kettle.
3. Close the oven door, turn the oven function knob
on fan oven and set the thermostat knob
on 50°C.
4. After 15 minutes, turn off the thermostat and
allow the fan oven to continue without heat for
a further 5 minutes, when the temperature of
the water will have cooled down.
5. Carefully remove the pan of water from the oven
and use normal oven cleaners to clean away
soil residues.
6. Leave a little of the soapy water to soak into
any burned on spillage on the floor of the oven
for a longer time if necessary.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or has
deep scratches, the glass will be weakened and
must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the
panel shattering. Contact your local Service Centre
who will be pleased to advise further.
Oven lamp replacement

for higher temperature (300°C) having the following
characteristics:
Voltage: 230-240V (50Hz)
Power: 15W
Connection: E14
Oven Shelves
