1- Ensure that this appliance is positioned on a heat resistant surface
near to an electric socket of the correct rating.
2- If you want to install the cooker in a recess between units, then a
minimum of 1”(25mm) must be left around the sides and back of
your Compact Cooker to allow adequate ventilation and enable the
Compact Cooker to be pulled out for cleaning.
3- Ensure that no flammable materials are adjacent to the appliance as
the sides of the appliance become hot during operation.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Timer
2. Hotplates
3. Oven
4. Grill
IMPORTANT!
The timer functions as a switch to connect or cut off the power
to the cooker. The timer length is 90 minutes, and when the set
time has finished, i.e. the knob points to “0”, the cooker will
automatically shut off power. When it points to “Stay On",
the cooker remains in power on mode with no time limit.
Adjust the hotplates to mid position (3) and leave on for
approximately 8 minutes in order to burn off the protective coating
on the hotplates. Do not place any pans or other cooking utensils
on the hotplates during this process. Fumes will be emitted during
the above operation but this is quite normal.
In order to burn off the protective coating, remove grill rack and
baking tray and turn the oven control knob to 200 C and run the
oven for approximately 15 minutes, again fumes will be emitted as
the protective coating is burnt off but this is quite normal.
To burn off the protective coating on the grill, set the control to
the grill position. turn the oven/grill knob in a clockwise direction
until the grey pointer line on the knob clicks into position in line
with the grill symbol which is located to the top left handside
of the knob. Operate for approximately 15 minutes with the oven
door open, again fumes will be emitted but this is quite normal.
You must ensure that the above operations 1,2 and 3 are
conducted in a well ventilated area.
When burning off the protective coating, the oven door must
always be left open.

OPERATING YOUR COMPACT COOKER
IMPORTANT NOTE: “LARGE HOT PLATE, WHICH IS ON THE
LEFT HAND SIDE, WILL NOT OPERATE FOR SAFETY
REASONS, WHEN BOTH THE SMALL HOT PLATE AND THE
OVEN (OR GRILL) ARE SWITCHED ON SIMULTANEOUSLY.”
This appliance is designed to operate from a 10 AMP socket and for
safety reasons, the large hotplate will not operate whilst the grill or
oven is being used.
The following are examples of possible operating combinations:
- Small hotplate (Only)
- Large hotplate (Only)
- Both hotplates.
- Grill (Only).
- Oven (Only).
- Small hotplate and oven.
The Compact Cooker has 2 shelf positions
(See diagram). A Baking tray and
integrated grill rack is supplied for
use with the cooker.
Select the correct shelf position before
pre-heating the oven for cooking as follows:
Level 1 : Baking tray and integrated grill rack for grilling and
browning of toppings etc.
Level 2 : Baking tray only for baking, roasting and stewing.
Temperature controls for hotplates are situated on the panel beside
the oven door.
Each hotplate has adjustable settings from 1 to 6 and are operated
by turning in an anticlockwise or clockwise direction.
We recommend the following setting for hoplate knob adjusment:-
Shelf Level 1
Shelf Level 2

ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE HOTPLATES AFTER USE.
OVEN OPERATION
- Always use flat bottomed pans to ensure perfect contact with
the hotplate surface.
- Ensure that the bottom of any saucepan used is clean and dry
before use.
- Size of pans should ideally be the size of the hotplate or slightly
larger. If you use pans with a smaller diameter then energy is
lost. Try and avoid any spillages onto the hotplates as this may
cause damage.
We recommend that you use the following size of pans:-
for small hotplate : 6”(150mm)
for large hotplate : 7”(180mm)
The oven is thermostatically controlled.
Temperature adjustment of the oven is operated by turning the oven/
grill knob in a clockwise direction.
Temperature settings may be made from 50 C to 250 C.
When the oven/grill knob is turned clockwise”POWER”and “OVEN”
lights will illuminate.The POWER light will glow to indicate the oven is on.
The POWER light will go out when the control knob is moved to the”O”
position.
The OVEN light positioned next to the POWER light is a temperature
indicator. The OVEN light will continue to illuminate until the preset
temperature set using the temperature control knob is reached.
Once the temperature has been reached the OVEN light will go off
and then cycle on and off during use to maintain the pre-set
temperature.
We recommend you to reduce cooking times compared to full size
cookers by about 1/5 and then ensure the food is cooked properly
(eg: piping hot)

GRILL OPERATION
IMPORTANT!
IMPORTANT!
A built-in safety feature of the appliance means that the grill will cycle on
and off during operation and this is indicated by the OVEN light. This
operation does not affect the grilling operation as radiant heat is
maintained at all times while the grill is in the on position.
“To operate the grill, turn the oven/grill knob in a clockwise direction
until line on the knob clicks into position in line with the grill symbol
which is located to the top left handside of the knob. To click the knob to
the grilling position, turn the knob firmly beyond the ‘250’ mark”.
When the oven/grill knob is set to both”POWER”and OVEN lights will
illuminate.The POWERlight will continue to glow while the grill is in operation.
POWER light will go out once the control knob is turned to the “O” position.
Once the internally pre-set temperature is reached the OVEN light will
go off and then cycle on and off during use to maintain the internally
pre-set temperature. When the power to the grill element is cut off the
OVEN light will go off.
TO TURN THE GRILL OFF, ROTATE THE KNOB IN AN ANTI CLOCKWISE
DIRECTION TO “0” POSITION.

Children should be kept away

CLEANING AND CARE
PROBLEM SOLVING
Before cleaning always switch your Compact Cooker off at the socket
outlet and pull out the plug.
Warning
* Make sure that the oven, grill and hotplates are cool before you start
cleaning.
* As the hotplates are of a solid type, a residual heat will remain after
you switch off the Compact Cooker so take care not to touch hot
surfaces.
* Do not immerse your Compact Cooker in water.
Use a damp cloth to clean the interior and exterior. Never use any sharp
instruments, abrasive household cleaner, or detergents for cleaning. For
hard stains use suitable washing liquid.
After cleaning, warm the hotplates for a few minutes to dry any residual
moisture off. Ensure that the door seal is dry after cleaning. We
recommend that grill elements be wiped with a damp cloth to remove any
fat splashes. This will prevent fumes for any fat being burnt off when the
Compact Cooker is next used. Again before cleaning ensure the grill
elements are cool.
NOTE: Even though grease and other foodstuff may leave marks on hobs
when baked on, they will not affect the performance of the appliance
under normal conditions.
If the appkiance does not operate when switched on, check;
- The plug is inserted properly in the socket and that the power supply is
on. (To check the power supply to the socket, plug in another
appliance).
- The fuse has blown/circuit breaker has tripped/main distribution switch
has been turned off.
- The temperature control has been set correctly.
If the appliance is still not operating at all after above checks contact the
service agent in your area (refer warranty details.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: “large hot plate, which is on the left hand side, will not
operate for safety reasons, when both the small hot plate and the oven
(or grill) are switched on simultaneously.”
