OPERATION

Electric Hotplates

To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant control

knob to the required heat setting.

The control knob is numbered 0 – 6

0 – OFF

1 – Minimum

6 – Maximum.

The hob has one type of hotplate:

Normal Hotplates

We recommend the plates are switched to

maximum (6) for a short while to boost the plate,

and then adjusted to the required setting.

It is important to note that the hotplate

may smoke and produce a slightly

unpleasant odour when used for the first

time. This is quite normal and will

disappear after some time.

Suggestions for the correct setting of the plates are

given in the following table:

OFF 0

Very Gentle 1 To keep food warm

To melt butter and chocolate

Gentle 2 To prepare cream-sauces,

stews and milk puddings or to

fry eggs

Slow 3 Dried vegetables, frozen food,

fruit, boiling water or milk

Medium 4 Boiled potatoes, fresh

vegetables, pâtés, soups,

broths, pancakes or fish

High 5 Larger stews, meat roll, fish,

omelettes, steaks

Fast 6 Steaks, escalopes and frying

Hints and Tips

Saucepans for use on solid plates should have

several characteristics:

- They should be fairly heavy duty

- They should fit the heat area exactly, or be

slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER smaller.

- They should have a flat base to ensure good

contact with the plate.

This is particularly important when using pans

for high temperature frying or pressure

cooking.

As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the plate

control knob so that it will barely keep the liquid

simmering.

You can switch off the plate a short while before

you finish cooking, and the final stage will be

completed on the accumulated heat. Similarly,

stews etc. cooked in well covered saucepans cook

at lower temperature which is more economical.

Ensure pans are large enough to avoid

liquids being split into the plates. Never

leave the plates on without a pan on them

or with an empty pan on them.

Take care never to lean or reach over a hot

electric plate. Always point pan handles

inward or over the work surface next to the

hob to avoid accidentally knocking over a

pan as you pass by.

Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat,

as the overheated splashes could easily

ignite.

If the control knobs become difficult to

turn, please contact your local Comet

Service Centre.

Good use

Bad use

(Power waste)

Using the Electric Oven

Before the first use ensure that the

room is well ventilated: V.M.C.

(Mechanic ventilation) or opened

window.

Before the First Use of the Cooker

Remove all packaging both inside and

outside of the cooker, before using it.

Before first use, the oven should be heated

without food. During this time, an unpleasant

odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.

1. Remove the oven accessories.

2. Remove any adhesive labels or protective

films, if there are any.

3. Turn the thermostat control knob to 250°C

and heat the oven for about 45 min.

This procedure should be repeated with the grill

function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

Clean the accessories with a soft detergent. Rinse

and dry carefully.

During cooking, the oven door is hot.

Take care that children do not play

near it.

The electric oven is equipped with 3 heating

elements:

- 2 heating elements (top and bottom) for

using the oven.

- 1 heating grill element, placed in the middle

of top for grilling with door half opened.

Use

The oven can be used in traditional cooking or for

grilling, but not simultaneously.

Control knob

The control knob is used to select the desired

temperature and to select either the grill or oven

function.

Cooking in the oven

Traditional cooking

Traditional cooking is made by natural convection

of heated air.

It is necessary to pre-heat the oven.

How to proceed ?

For small cakes, pastry, Victoria sandwich.

1. Preheat the oven the thermostat on position

chosen for cooking:

- about 8 min. for position 50°C to 150°C;

- about 15 min for position 175°C to 250°C;

2. Insert the meal

Using the Electric Grill

Electric grill

When grilling, the accessible parts of the

appliance are hot and the appliance should not

be left unsupervised. Take care that children do

not play near it. While the grill is operating leave

the oven door half open and put the grill

deflector “A” into place. During use the

appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken

to avoid touching heating elements inside the

oven, or the grill deflector.

The grill is used for grilling all kind of meat which

remain tender, toast or browning dishes already

cooked.

Slide the dripping pan under the grid on the

lowest shelf to collect the juice and fat.

For turning off the heating elements.

Turn the knob clockwise to position OFF “0”.

Grilling

Heat comes from the top of the oven. It is suitable

for grilling meat (beef bacon, pork bacon …) that

remains tender, for toast or to brown already

cooked.

Grilling

· Prepare the meat to be grilled, lightly brush it

with oil on both sides.

· Place it on the trivet.

· Put the grill deflector in place.

· Turn the oven knob to the grill position .

· Put the dripping pan in level 1.

· Slide the shelf into level 2 or 3 depending on

the thickness of the meat to be grilled.

· Use level 3 for the thin pieces to be grilled

(toast, pork bacon, sausage, small fish…)

· Use level 2 for thick pieces of meat to be

grilled (beef bacon, large fish, poultry).

· When the first side is brown, turn the meat

without pricking it in order that the juices are

not lost.

· Grill the second side.

· Salt when ending the cooking.

Cooking time has to determined by the thickness of

the piece to be grilled not by its weight.

Browning

· Fit the grill deflector.

· Turn the oven knob to the grill position .

· Place the dish on the grid and slide it in level 2 or

· Leave the dish under the grill for a few minutes.

Cooker operation pilot light (Main)

This light will illuminate when any of the hotplate

knobs are turned on and remains lit while the

hotplates are in use.

Oven thermostat pilot light (Thermostat)

This light will illuminate when a temperature is

selected and remain lit until the selected

temperature has been reached. It then cycles on

and off to indicate that the temperature is being

maintained.

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 ovenproof cookware, which will

withstand temperatures of 250°C.

Oven dishes, etc. must not be placed directly

on the oven base.
