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(s) and grill for 10 – 15 minutes

at maximum temperature, to burn off any

residue from their surfaces. Accessible parts

may become hotter than in normal use.

Children should be kept away. During this

period an odour may be emitted, it is

therefore advisable to open a window for

ventilation.

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, dishes etc., should not be

placed directly against the grid covering the

fan at the back of the 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 and

second oven cooking)

2 straight shelves

(for main oven

cooking)

Electronic minute minder

1 = ( - ) Decrease control and

minute minder setting button

2 = ( + ) Increase control

( ) Bell Symbol

The electronic minute minder can also be

used to show the time of day.

Please note that this is a 24 hour clock, for

example 2.00pm is shown as 1400.

In the following pages we explain how to set

the controls. Read through them until you

are familiar with the procedure.

If the appliance is switched off on the wall, or

there is a loss of power, the clock will stop

and you will not be able to use the main

oven.

button (1) to decrease or button (2) to

increase the time until the correct time of day

on the 24 hour clock is reached, e.g. 14.30.

See Fig. 4.

Note: The increase and decrease control

buttons operate slowly at first and then

more rapidly. They should be pressed

separately.

The ceramic hob

Do not use the appliance if the

ceramic glass is damaged. If a

fault or crack becomes visible

during cooking, disconnect the

appliance immediately from the

electricity supply and contact

your local Service Force Centre.

Using the hob

• Turn the control knob 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 the

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

to reduce cleaning.

• 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.
