2.2.3 OPTIONAL AUTOFLAM
Principal :
AutoFlam is a pan detection system on open burners that lights the burner only when there is a pan within the heating area. The pan whilst
touching the detector simply moves over the burner to activate a magnetic switch controlling a solenoid that activates or deactivates the supply of gas
to the burner depending on whether or not there is a pan present.
The advantages of this system are:
•Energy saving because the burner is only lit when there is a pan on the burner
•Comfort and Ergonomics by producing less heat in the kitchen and improving the working conditions (No need to keep turning off
and reigniting the burner)
To light the pilot and adjust the burner setting see the previous paragraph « OPEN BURNERS WITH PILOT AND SPARK IGNITION OPTION ».
After lighting the pilot the burner only comes on if a pan is present no matter what size. Removing the pan will shut the burner off, only the pilot
remains lit. The burner will relight the moment that it detects a pan, at the level that the control knob was previously set.
A switch located under the facia panel allows this function to be switched off, when for example AutoFlam is not required, because the pan is
not in permanent contact with the burner (pancakes, vegetables, sautés…).
And should there be a problem with the system this switch allows continued use by closing the system down until an after sales technician can
attend.

- Always position the stones properly.
- Never use the Chargrill with stones missing.
- These stone do not have an indefinite life and they must be
changed if they deteriorate, break or become saturated with
fat (the pyrolysis of fats can no longer avoid them smoking or
smelling).
Use
- Before use, ensure the unit is clean (see "CLEANING").
- Start heating the zones required to suit the cooking quantities leaving the unit on MAXIMUM for at least 30 minutes to preheat the lava rock stones.
- Then REDUCE HEAT (this is recommended for most cooking). Increase the power depending on the desired result.
- After service:
* Brush the bars with a brass wire brush.
* Leave to cool down over night.
* The daily cleaning should be done the following morning.
NOTE: An accessory is supplied to make handling of grills easier when they are hot and to remove the residue from them.

HINTS
- Preheat for 20mins then apply any cooking fat
- The temperature range usually used is between 210° and 230°C
- Use a spray with the cooking fat of your choice: olive oil, groundnut or, sunflower oil etc…
- Be sure to dry everything thoroughly before putting it on the plancha
- If you season your product, it is vital to seal them immediately so as not to let leave them to soak. To avoid this happening it is better to
season after cooking
- Place your product on the film of cooking oil. If your plancha is perfectly maintained you will find it very easy to move them around.
NOTE : From the moment that products are placed on the plancha it is very important to keep it clean by clearing juices and cooking fat
regularly, using a stiff flat spatula, equally you can use a thick cloth to wipe particles into the channel provided for this purpose.

Depress the knob and turn to the ignition position. Whilst
fully depressing the knob, press the ignition button, wait
at least 5 seconds and release the knob. If the burner
goes out, repeat the operation increasing the time the
knob is held in for. (The pilot flame is visible through the
hole in the front used for torch ignition).
Heat position
Press lightly on the knob and turn it
to 270°: the burner ignites. Now
simply turn the control knob to the
required temperature.
Preheating the oven for 1 to 2 hours before using it for the first time is recommended. This operation will avoid transmitting the disagreeable
smell of new equipment to the products.
IMPORTANT: The oven racks provide different heights for positioning the trays or plates depending on the cooking desired and the type of
product being dealt with. However NEVER COOK ON 2 LEVELS SIMULTANEOUSLY (see exceptions below). Uneven cooking
is generally due to too high a cooking temperature; gradually decrease the temperature.
HINTS
The gas oven has a temperature gradient, for any given setting it is hotter at the top than the bottom.
Accordingly:
- Upper levels allow more browning …
- Lower levels are better for braising, slower cooking, …
- Intermediate levels are a good compromise (Top / Bottom)
Cooking examples:
Product Temperature Time Level
Roast: Fresh chicken 200° C 1h15 4 5 birds per roasting dish
Roast: Beef 200° C 20 min / lb 4 In a roasting dish
Cabbage 160° C 35 min 3 On GN 2/1 tray
150° C 50 min 1, 3 and 5 On GN 2/1 trays. Swap levels 1 and 5 after 25 mins
Chocolate fondant 170° C 20 min 1 On pastry tray + rings.
Frozen dainties 180° C 40 min 3 17 per pastry tray
180° C 40 min 1, 3 and 5 17 per pastry tray. Swap levels 1 and 5 after 20 mins
Savoury pastries 190° C 15 min 3 On pastry tray
Apple tart 190° C 35 min 5 On pastry tray
Baked fruit 190° C 40 min 3 In a mould
Quiche 210° C 17 min 3 On tray + rings precooked bases.
Fruit gratin 230° C 5 min 5 In a mould
Vegetable gratin 220° C 37 min 5 In a mould
Note: To maximise production it is possible for certain products to use several shelves, generally 1, 3 and 5 :
- Likewise different products but with compatible cooking temperatures but on different levels.
Example: Apples tart on level 5 and savoury pastry on level 3 can be cooked simultaneously.
- As can identical products on levels 1, 3 and 5 swapping levels 1 and 5 halfway through the cooking time.

Before it is used for the first time the oven should be heated for an hour or two, this will eliminate any unpleasant odours associated with new
equipment.
If the oven is set to use both elements this may give too much heat from the base, select top element only for the cooking period. Should items
be overcooked on the outside or undercooked inside the temperature is too high, reduce it for subsequent batches. The oven should not be used with
the door left open (there is a risk the controls could overheat).
IMPORTANT: The runners can be positioned at various heights within the oven
BUT NO MORE THAN TWO LEVELS SHOULD BE USED AT ANY ONE TIME.
Irregular cooking is generally due to too high a temperature setting, reduce this gradually on the thermostat.
