How to use the hotplates

The hob is made of steel coated with a

vitreous enamel to provide a durable and

attractive surface.

The four solid plates clamped to the surfa-

ce of the hob.

All have a fixed stainless steel ring which

may turn yellow after the plate is first used

this is normal.

Electric plates:

The higher the number set on the control

knob, the higher the temperature that will

be maintained on the plate.

Each plate has seven positions marked on

the control knob.

Zero is off and one to six are the various

heat positions, one is the lowest and six is

the highest.

When a ring is switched “on” the indicator

light above the control knobs will glow.

- Position 0Off

- Positions 1 - 6 Operating number

(indicator light on)

Boiling and simmering:

Boiling and simmering can be carried out on any of the four plates.

Frying:

Generally frying is carried out on the larger plates.

It is important not to leave frying unattended even for a short while. Do not use a chip-pan

more than one third full of fat or oil.

Remember:

Solid plates retain heat for up to five minutes after switching off.

When boiling or frying, turn down the setting when the operating temperature has been rea-

ched.

Fig. 3

Choice of pans

It is uneconomical to use pans smaller than the plate that has been selected.

The plate is made of cast-iron and is heated uniformly over the whole surface, therefore any

part of the plate not covered by the pan is wasting energy.

We therefore recommend pans with flat bases particularly those with machine ground bases.

Always dry the base of the pan before placing on the plate.

Dont‘s

Pans with a ridged or recessed base must not be used.

Likewise do not use an asbestos or wire mat or anything under the pan.

Never leave a plate switched on for long periods when not covered with a pan.

How to use the oven and grill

Oven

Attention: Although the cooker conforms to the EU Standards on oven door tem-

peratures, the oven door becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children and toddlers away from the cooker during use.

The oven has two heating elements, one at the base of the oven, and one at the top. Hot air

rises, so the top of the oven is always the hottest.

The temperature in the middle of the oven is maintained at the temperature set by the tem-

perature selector, and is slightly hotter at the top and slightly cooler at the bottom of the

oven.

Temperature selector

Oven temperature indicator light

Function selector

Function selector (Fig. 5)

Select oven or grill by turning the function selector knob until the symbol on the knob is

in line with the indictor on the control panel.

There are 4 positions 0“OFF”, “GRILL”, “OVEN”, a blank position and back to

“OFF”.

Oven position

Set the FUNCTION SELECTOR to oven, set the cooking temperature with the

TEMPERATURE SELECTOR. The indicator light will illuminate.

It is advisable to preheat the oven until the set temperature has been reached i.e.: when

the indicator light above the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR goes off. The light will cycle on and

off during cooking in line with the oven temperature.

During cooking, do not open the door unless it is absolutely necessary.

Grilling position

Always grill with the door closed.

Set the FUNCTION SELECTOR to the grill position and the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR

to the desired temperature.

The temperature can be varied depending on the food being cooked.

Before using the grill, pre-heat for about five minutes. Position the grill pan on the highest

shelf position and keep checking the food as it could easily burn.

To avoid possible smoking during grilling it is advisable to add a little water to the grill

pan.

The handle must be removed before closing the oven door.

We recommend that you use oven gloves when using the grill pan handle or when removing

the grill pan or oven shelves as they become very hot when in use.

Note: It is recommended that grilling should be limited to no longer than 30 minutes.
