Introduction

Your new appliance is

guaranteed*

and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only

applicable

if

the

appliance has been installed

in

accordance with

the

installation

instructions

detailed

in

this

booklet.

To

help make

best

use

of

your cooking equipment, please read

this

booklet carefully.

The

the

cooker ensure

that

the

room is well ventilated

(e.g.

open a window

or

use an

extractor

fan) and

that

persons who may

be

sensitive

to

the

odour

avoid any

fumes.

It

is suggested

that

any

pets

be

removed

from

the

room until

the

smell has

ceased. This odour is due

to

temporary

finish

on

oven liners and elements and also any

moisture

absorbed

Mains Connection

Your cooker should have been checked

to

ensure

that

the

voltage corresponds with your

supply voltage,

this

is

stated

on

the

rating plate, which is

situated

on

the

outer

rear

panel.

The

model number and serial number are located

on

the

front

of

the

cooker, as shown

on

the

Feature's page.

The

cooker

must

be

connected

by

a competent person such

as

one

who is

a,

NICEIC

registered

contractor

to

a suitable double-pole control unit with a minimum rating

of

32A

and

a minimum

contact

clearance

of

3mm (applicable

to

newer properties, older

properties

where a 30A

double pole

control

unit

and a minimum

contact

clearance

of

3mm is acceptable}.

The

double pole

control

unit

should

be

fitted

adjacent

to

the

cooker, in accordance

with

lEE

regulations. The

control

unit

must

be

within 2

metres

of

but

not

directly

above

the

appliance and should

be

easily accessible in

the

event

of

an

emergency.

The

to

allow

the

cooker

to

be

pulled

out

for

servicing.

Ensure

that

the

mains cable

is

routed away from any brackets affixed

to

the

rear

panel

and

is

not

trapped

to

the

rear

wall when

pushing

the

cookerinto position between cabinets.

Levelling

Four

feet

are

fitted

which

can

be

adjusted up

or

down

to

set

the

height (900mm -930mm)

and

level

the

cooker.

The

feet

can

be

simply screwed

in

or

out

to

lower

or

raise

the

cooker.

After

the

correct

height is achieved, lock

the

feet

into position

by

tightening the locking

nut

using

an

open ended spanner.

CAUTION:

Some

soft

floor

coverings

may

get

damaged

if

the

cooker is

not

moved carefully.

by

using a

spirit

level

on

the

rod shelves.

Siting

to

fit

between kitchen cabinets spaced 600mm

apart.

The space

either

side need only

be

sufficient

to

allow withdrawal

of

the

cooker

for

servicing.

It

can

be

used

with

cabinets one side

or

both

as well as

in

an

angled

corner

setting.

It

can also

be

used freestanding.

Adjacent side walls which

project

above hob level,

must

not

be

nearer

to

the

cooker

than

150mm and should

be

protected

by

heat

resistant

material.

Any

In

common

with

all cookers having

controls

sited above

the

grill

compartment, care

must

be

taken when

setting

the

controls, due

to

the

hot

air

expelled

from

the

Note:

After

use,

it

is

advisable

to

check

that

all

controls

have

been switched Off.

A gentle

operate

after

a

short

period

of

time

and

may

run

on

after

all

controls

are switched off.

The

main oven

light

will illuminate when

the

thermostat

is operated.

The

light will remain

on

during

the

cook period.

The

main oven has

an

'S'

setting

specially designed

to

reduce energy

usage. Full details

of

this

can

be

found

in

the

Slow Cooking section.

The

been

turned

on,

the

Hob

it

manually.

Hints on

Automatic

Cooking

Timer

Operation

12

1.

Select foods which will take the

same

time

to

cook and require

approximately the

same

temperature.

2.

Set

the oven timer

so

that the food

has

just finished or about

to

finish cooking on your return

to

the oven. This will ensure the

food

has

not

cooled

down

and does

not

require reheating

before serving.

3.

Food should be

as

cold

as

possible when

it

goes into the oven,

ideally straight from the refrigerator. Frozen meat and poultry

should be thawed thoroughly before

it

is

put

in the oven.

4.

We

advise that warm food should never

be

placed in the oven

if

there

is

to

be

a delay period.

Stews

prepared by frying the meat

and vegetables should

be

cooked

as

soon

as

possible.

5.

We

advise dishes containing left-over cooked poultry or meat,

for example Shepherds

Pie,

should not be cooked automatically

if

there

is

to

be

adelay period.

6.

Stews

and joints should

be

cooked by the long slow method,

so

thatthe delay period

is

kept

to

a minimum.

7.

On

warm days,

to

prevent harmful bacterial

growth

in certain

foods

(ie

poultry, joints, etc) the delayed start should be kept

to

aminimum.

8.

Wine or beer may ferment and cream may curdle during

the

delay period,

so

it

is

best

to

add these ingredients just before

serving.

9.

Foods

which discolour should be protected by coating in fat or

tossing in water to which lemon juice

has

been added, prior

to

placing food in the oven.

10.

Dishes

containing liquid should

not

be filled too full

to

prevent

boiling

over.

11.

Food

should

be

well

sealed

(but

not

airtight) in a container

to

prevent the

loss

of

liquid during cooking. Aluminium foil gives a

good

seal.

12.

Ensure

food

is

cooked thoroughly before serving.

1.

Make

sure

all oven controls

are

turned

Off.

2.

Check

that the electricity supply

to

the oven

is

turned On.

3.

Check that the oven clock

is

It

suitable.

ALWAYS USE:

• Good quality pans

with

smooth,

flat,

heavy bases.

• Saucepans

manufactured

from

aluminium (enamelled

or

machined)

or

stainless steel.

•

Correct

size saucepans. The base

of

the

pan

must

cover

the

heating zone completely.

• Saucepans

with

lids which are well

fitted

to

reduce cooking

time

and energy use.

NEVER USE:

• Pans with thin,

distorted

or

uneven bases

as

these

will extend

cooking times,

waste

electricity

and cause damaging, local

hotspots

on

the

glass surface.

• Pans with ridged

• Pans with damaged

rough bases which could

scratch

• Glass

Care

of

the

Ceramic

Hob

Do

Not

Do

20

In

order

to

keep your ceramic hob

in

good condition, follow

these

simple guidelines:

Do

not

stare

at

halogen heating units.

Do

not

cook directly

on

the

hob

surface

without

a cooking utensil,

as

this will

result

in

damage

to

the

surface

of

the

hob.

Do

not

use

the

hob

as

a worktop surface

as

damage

may

occur

to

the

smooth surface

of

the

hob.

Do

not

drag

or

slide utensils

on

the

hob

surface,

as

this

will cause

scratches

in

the surface

of

the

hob.

Do

not

allow a cooking utensil

to

come into

contact

with

the

hob

surround.

Do

not

place anything between

the

base

of

the utensil

and

'I

r

the

ceramic

hob,

e.g.

do

not

use

asbestos mats, X X

aluminium

or

wok stand.

Do

not

leave

any

utensils, food

or

combustible items

on

the

hob when

it

is

not

in

use.

Do

not

place aluminium

or

plastic foil,

or

plastic containers

on

the

hob.

Do

not

leave

the

hotplates

or

cooking areas switched

On

unless they

are being used.

Do

not

leave heating zones uncovered when they are switched

On.

We

recommend

not

to

place large preserving pans

or

fish kettles

across

two

heating areas.

Do

not

leave utensils partly covering

the

heated areas. Always

ensure

that

they are placed centrally over

the

heated f;{l'

areas

and

have

the

same diameter

as

the

heating area

used.

Always ensure

that

the

bottom

of

the

pan

is

both clean

and

dry.

Dirt

or

moisture between

the

pan

and

the

hob can cause pitting

of

the

surface

of

the glass.

We

do

not

recommend

the

use

of

utensils with a base diameter

greater

than 25cm [lOins].

Pressure cookers

or

other

large pans should

be

used

on

the

front

cooking areas.

Always ensure

that

saucepan handles are positioned safely.

Always take extra care

when

cooking foods with a

high

sugar content

eg.

jam, as spillage will cause damage

to

the

surface

of

the

glass.

Always clean spills immediately [see Care

and

Cleaning).
