Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the oven cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may become
hot if the oven is on high for a long period of time,
therefore flammable materials such as oven gloves,
tea towels, plastic aprons etc. should not be
stored in the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will also
become hot, therefore care should be taken when
removing these items from the drawer whilst the
oven is in use or still hot.

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.

Residual heat indicators
The hob is fitted with four residual heat indicators
corresponding to each 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.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the cooking zones
are given in the following table.
OFF 0
Very Gentle Simmering vegetables
Fish in its own juice
Gentle 1 Simmering potatoes or soups
Slow Boiling large quantities
of food, stews and soups
Medium 2 Slow frying, making a sauce
High Fast frying of meat or fish
Fast 3 Rapid heating up of fat or water

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.
