Dangerofre:donot
store items on the cooking
surface.
If the surface is cracked,
broken or shattered,
switch off the appliance
to avoid the possibility of
electric shock and call for a
service engineer’s visit.
Metallic objects such as
knives, forks, spoons and
lids should not be placed
on the hob surface since
they can get hot.
Ensure you switch off the
appropriate cook zone
individually or (by the
central on/off key if touch
control) when you have
nishedcooking,donot
rely upon the automatic
pan detection system as
your means of switching
“off” the appliance. This
induction hob complies
with the applicable EMC
and EMF standards.
Therefore it should not
interfere with other
electronic units. Persons
ttedwithapacemakeror
any other electrical implant
should clarify with their
doctor or the producer of
the implant, whether there
implant is adequate and
fail-safe, the pacemaker
must be designed in
compliance with the
appropriate regulations.
Caution: This appliance is for cooking
purposes only. It must not be used
for other purposes, for example room
heating.
OVEN/GRILL
Do
• Always take care when removing food
from the oven as the area around the

SAFETY
5.130
cavity may be hot.
• Always use oven gloves when han-
dling any utensils that have been in
the oven as they will be hot.
• Always make sure that the oven
shelves are resting in the correct po-
sition between two runners. Do not
place the oven shelves on top of the
highest runner, as this is not stable
and can lead to spillage or injury.
AlwaysusetheMinuteMinder(iftted)
if you are leaving the oven unattended -
this reduces the risk of food burning.
Do Not
• Never place items on the door while
it is open.
• Never wrap foil around the oven
shelvesorallowfoiltoblocktheue.
• Never drape tea towels near the oven
whileitison;thiswillcauseare
hazard.
• Never pull heavy items, such as tur-
keys or large joints of meat, out from

Pan Detection
As soon as you lift the pan off the zone
the power is automatically reduced, help-
ing to save energy.
The above “U” symbol appears when a
zone has been activated but no pan has
been placed on the cook zone,
If the “U” symbol does not disappear
when a pan is placed on the zone it
indicates that the pan is not suitable for
induction cooking.
Note
This means the hob only uses power
when a suitable pan is placed on the
zone, this reduces the energy used during
the cooking process, i.e. when you take
your pan off the zone the hob automati-
cally reduces the power, and only switches
back on when you replace the pan.
• WARNING:- Ensure you switch off
the appropriate cook zone individually
or by the central on/off key when you
havenishedcooking,donotrely
upon the automatic pan detection
system as your means of switching
“off” the appliance.
• The appliance must never be
disconnected from the mains supply
during use as this will seriously
affect the safety and performance,
particularly in relation to surface
temperatures becoming hot and
component parts not working
efciently.Thecoolingfan(iftted)
is designed to run on after the cook
zones have been switched off.
• This induction hob complies with the
applicable EMC and EMF standards.
Therefore it should not interfere
with other electronic units. Persons
ttedwithapacemakeroranyother
electrical implant should clarify with
their doctor or the producer of the
implant, whether there implant is
adequate and fail-safe,
• The pacemaker must be
designed in compliance with the
appropriate regulations.
PANS AND COOKWARE FOR INDUC-
TION HOBS
Pans and Cookware for induction cooking
zones must be made of ferrous mate-
rial such as cast iron and have magnetic
properties. The base must also be of the
correct diameter.
It’simportantthatgoodqualityatbot-
tomed pans are used.
If a pan creates a large air gap over the
middle of the cooking zone, the accuracy
of the temperature sensing can be af-
fected.
Always ensure that pan bases are dry
before using them on the hob.
Get a magnet, if a magnet doesn’t stick to
your pan, it is not suitable for use on the
induction hob.
Beware:-Notallinductionpansareof
the same quality due to their construc-
tion. Pans that use enamelled/laminated/
encapsulatedbasescanbedifcultto

USING THE HOB
detect, especially small pans (e.g. milk
pans). We recommend that you buy pans
that are marked/advertised as being suit-
able for induction.
This problem is not with induction hob
but with the pan type, they can have
bases which are magnetic but are not
thick enough! If you experience problems
with small pans we recommend that you
try a larger pan or a pan of a different
construction. Solid cast iron pans give the
best performance.

Overheat Pan Protection
The hob is equipped with additional safety
systems that help to prevent cookware
from overheating, providing an additional
level of safety not available on conven-
tional hobs such as gas and ceramic hobs.
Helpsreducetheriskofrethroughmis-

between the glass and the pan, which
affects the accuracy of the temperature
control.
Residual Heat Indicators
If glass surface is above 65oC when the
cook zone is switched off an “H “will be
displayed in the cook zone display until
the glass surface drops below approxi-
mately 63oC.
This feature not only warns you against
hot surfaces but also indicates that there
is residual heat which can be used as
temporary warm zone.
Note:
The cook zone itself does not heat up, but
the ceramic glass does get hot because
of the hot pan conducting heat back onto
the hob glass.
Auto Stand by
The Hob will automatically switch off if
left (with pan) on for an extended period

Energy Saving Tips
Always place cookware on the cooking
zone before it is switched on. When ever
possible place lids on pans.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The hob produces a smell the rst
few times it is used
Heat a pan full of water on each zone for
half an hour.
Pans make a noise during cooking
This is caused by vibration due to the pas-
sage of energy from the hob to the pan.
On a high setting this is quite normal for
certain types of saucepan. It will not dam-
age the hob.
The hob makes a slight clicking
sound
This is caused by the distribution of power
between two heating zones on the same
side of the hob.
The hob won’t work. The indicators
don’t come on
The electricity supply is not reaching the
appliance (faulty supply or connection);
Check the fuses and the cut-out switch.
Refer to Troubleshooting chart and if
problems persist call, the customer service
hot line for further assistance.
The fan keeps working for a few min-
utes after the hob has been turned
off
Therearecoolingfansttedtothis
appliance which will operate when the
appliance is on and until the appliance is

results, we recommend that you preheat
the dual grill for 3 minutes and the single
grill for 5 minutes.
For grilling small quantities of food, the
centre (economy) grill can be used with
the grill trivet inverted. For large quanti-
ties of food, the full grill can be used.
Push the grill pan towards the back of the
shelf, to position it under the grill.
The speed of grilling can be controlled by
adjusting the grill setting or by selecting a
higher or lower shelf position. For toast-
ing, and for grilling foods such as bacon,
sausages or steaks, use a higher shelf
position. For thicker foods such as chops
or chicken joint pieces, use a middle to
low shelf position.
The grill trivet, inside the grill pan, can be
inverted to give a high or low position, or
it may be removed.
To switch off, turn the control knob to the
off position.
Using aluminium foil
Using aluminium foil to cover the grill pan,
or putting items wrapped in foil under the
grillcreatesarehazard.
The cooling fan
When the grill is switched on, the cool-
ing fan comes on to keep the fascia and
control knobs cool during grilling. The fan
may continue to operate for a period after
the grill has been switched off.
During use the fan may cycle on and off,
this is normal.

USING THE TOP OVEN - ELECTRIC (if tted)
When you are cooking keep children
away from the vicinity of the oven.
Caution: The top element gets
extremely hot when in use, so
take extra care to avoid touch-
ing it.
The top oven is a conventional oven.
Note:Thetopovenisnotcontrolledby
theprogrammer(iftted).
To turn on the top oven
Turn the temperature control knob until
the required temperature is selected.
The red thermostat indicator will come on
until the selected temperature is reached,
and then go off; it will turn on and off
periodically as the thermostat operates to
maintain the selected temperature.
To switch off, return the top oven control
knob to the off position.
Important: Never put items directly on
the base of the oven, or cover the oven
base with foil, as this may cause the ele-
ment to overheat. Always position items
on the shelf.
The cooling fan
When the top oven is switched on, you
will hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of the
appliance cool during cooking. The fan
may continue to operate for a period after
the oven control has been switched off.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when cook-
ing frozen or chilled foods, and we rec-
ommend preheating for yeast mixtures,
batters,soufés,andwhiskedsponges.
Preheat the oven until the indicator light
switchesoffforthersttime,thiswill
take up to 15 minutes depending on the
temperature selected.
If you are not preheating the oven, the
cooking times in the following guide may
need to be extended, as they are based
on a preheated oven.
Shelf positions
There are either 3 or 4 shelf positions,
depending on which model you have
purchased. These are counted from the
bottom of the oven upwards, so shelf
position 1 is the lowest.
When cooking frozen or chilled food, use
the highest possible shelf position, while
allowing some clearance between the
food and the top element.
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the up-stand at the rear of the oven and
facing up. Position baking trays and roast-
ing tins on the middle of the shelves, and
leave one clear shelf position between
shelves, to allow for circulation of heat.
When using the top oven
As part of the cooking process, hot air is
expelled through a vent at the top of the
oven(s). When opening the oven door,
care should be taken to avoid any possible
contact with potentially hot air, since this
may cause discomfort to people with sen-
sitive skin. We recommend that you hold
the underneath of the oven door handle.

Cooking temperatures
The temperature settings and time given
in the Baking Guides are based on dishes
made with block margarine. If soft tub
margarine is used, it may be necessary
to reduce the temperature setting. If a
recipe gives a different temperature set-
ting to that shown in the guide, the recipe
instruction should be followed.
Because the top oven is more compact,
it may be necessary to reduce cooking
temperaturesspeciedinrecipesbyupto
20°C.
Use the baking guide as a reference for
determining which temperatures to use.

PREHEATING
Fanned oven
When cooking sensitive items such as
soufeandYorkshirepuddingsor,when
cooking bread, we recommend that the
oven is preheated until the neon switches
offforthersttime.Foranyothertypes
of cooking, a preheat may not be re-
quired.
Conventional oven
Preheating is always required
Manual Operation (fanned only)
The programmer must be set to manual
operation before the main oven can be
used. If A (Auto) is on the programmer
display, return the oven to manual by
pressing the up and down buttons simul-
taneously Any programme which has been
set is cancelled.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan may operate when the
main oven is on and may continue to op-
erate for a period after the oven has been
switched off.
OVEN FURNITURE
Oven shelves
The oven shelf must be positioned with
the upstand at the rear of the oven and
facing upwards.
Position baking trays and roasting tins on
the middle of the shelves.
Baking tray and roasting tins
For best cooked results and even brown-
ing, the recommended size baking trays
and roasting tins that should be used are
as follows;
Baking tray 350mm x 250mm
This size of baking tray will hold up to 12
small cakes.
Roasting tin 370mm x 320mm
We recommend that you use good quality
cookware. Poor quality trays and tins may
warp when heated, leading to uneven
baking results.

Slow cooking ( Setting or 100°C)
• Make sure that frozen foods are thor-
oughly thawed before cooking.
• Do not slow cook joints of meat
or poultry weighing more than
2¼kg/4½lb.
• Preheat the oven to 170°C and cook
for 30 minutes, then adjust the oven
control to or 100°C (slow cook
setting) for the remainder of the
cooking time.
• Slow cooking times will be about 3
times as long as conventional cooking
times.
• Do not open the oven door unneces-
sarily during slow cooking, as this will
result in heat loss at low tempera-
tures.
• Alwaysusedisheswithtightlytting
lids.Torectifybadlyttinglids,place
foil over the dish underneath the lid.
Aluminium foil
Use foil only to cover food or cooking
dishes, using foil to cover the shelves or
ovenbasecreatesarehazard.
Cooking with a fanned oven
As this is a high efciency oven,
you may notice the emission of
steam from the oven when the door
is opened. Please take care when
opening the door.
If you are used to cooking with a conven-
tionalovenyouwillndanumberofdif-
ferences to cooking with a fan oven which
willrequireadifferentapproach:
There are no zones of heat in a fan oven
as the convection fan at the back of
the oven ensures an even temperature
throughout the oven.
This makes it ideal for batch baking - eg;
when planning a party as all the items will
be cooked within the same length of time.
Foods are cooked at a lower temperature
than a conventional oven, so conven-
tional recipe temperature may have to be
reduced. Please refer to the conversion
chart.
Preheating is generally not necessary as a
fan oven warms up quickly.
Thereisnoavourtransferenceinafan
oven, which means you can cook strong
smellingfoodssuchasshatthesame
time as mild foods - eg; milk puddings.
When batch baking foods that will rise
during cooking - eg; bread - always
ensure that enough space has been left
between the shelves to allow for the rise.
Notes:
When 2 or more shelves are being used, it
may be necessary to increase the cooking
time slightly.
Because the 2 oven shelves are wider
than in many ovens, it is possible to cook
2 items per shelf - eg; 2 victoria sand-
wiches or 2 casseroles.
Although you need to keep in mind the
points ‘To help the air circulate freely’
with careful choice of dishes and tins, it
is possible to cook a complete meal, and
perhaps something else for the freezer, in
the oven at the same time.
When roasting meats, you will notice that
fat splashing is reduced, which is due in
part to the lower oven temperatures, and
will help keep cleaning of the oven to a
minimum.
Because a fan oven has an even tem-
perature throughout the oven, there is no
need to follow the shelf positions given in
the baking guide.

9.100
USING THE MAIN OVEN - ELECTRIC
There is no need to interchange dishes
onto different shelves part way through
cooking, as with a conventional oven.
To help the air circulate freely
Position the shelves evenly within the
oven and maintain a clearance from the
oven roof and base.
If more than one cooking dish or bak-
ing tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a
gap of at least 25mm between the items
themselves and the oven interior.
Defrosting and cooling in the
main oven
To defrost frozen foods, turn the main
oven control to the defrost position, place
the food in the centre of the oven and
close the door.
To cool foods after cooking prior to refrig-
erating or freezing, turn the main oven
control to the defrost position and open
the door.
Defrosting times
Smallorthinpiecesoffrozenshormeat
-eg;shlets,prawns&mincewilltake
approximately 1 - 2 hours.
Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
A medium sized casserole or stew will
take approximately 3 - 4 hours.
A 1½kg/3lb oven ready chicken will take
approximately 5 hours, remove the giblets
as soon as possible.
Be safe
Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this
method.
Do not defrost larger joints of meat and
poultry over 2kg/4lb using this method.
Never place uncooked food for defrosting
next to cooked food which is to be cooled,
as this can lead to cross contamination.
Defrostingmeat,poultry,andshcanbe
accelerated using this method but make
sure they are completely thawed before
cooking thoroughly. Place meat and poul-
try on a trivet in a meat tin.
