The hob is made of steel coated with a vitreous enamel to provide a durable and
attractive surface. There are four solid plates clamped to the surface of the hob.
All have a fixed stainless steel ring which may turn yellow after the plate is first used
this is normal.
ELECTRIC PLATES:
The higher the number set on the control knob, the higher the temperature that will be
maintained on the plate.
Each plate has seven working positions marked on the control knob. Zero is off and
One to six are the various heat positions one is the lowest and six is the highest. When
a ring is switched “on”the indicator light above the contro knob will glow.
- Position 0Off
- Positions 1 - 6 Operating number
(indicator light on)
BOILING AND SIMMERING:
Boiling and simmering can be carried out on any of the four plates.
FRYING:
Generally frying is carried out on the larger plates. It is important not to leave frying
unattended even for a short while. Do not use a chip-pan more than one third full of fat
or oil.
REMEMBER:
Solid plates retain heat for up to five minutes after switching off.
When boiling or frying, turn down the power setting when the operating temperature has
been reached.

OVEN
Attention: The oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children and toddlers away from the cooker during use.
The oven has two heating elements, one at the base of the oven, and one at the top.
Hot air rises, so the top of the oven is always the hottest.
The temperature in the middle of the oven is maintained at the temperature set by the
control knob, and is slightly hotter above, slightly cooler below.

DONT’S:
Pans with a ridged or recessed base must not be used. Likewise do not use an asbestos
or wire mat or anything else under the pan.
Never leave a plate switched on for long periods when not covered with a pan.
CHOICE OF PANS:
It is uneconomical to use pans smaller than the plate that has been selected.
The plate is made of cast-iron and is heated uniformly over the whole surface, therefore
any part of the plate not covered by the pan is wasting energy.
Whilst almost any type of pan can be used, those with curved or distorted bases will
waste energy.
It is therefore recommend pans with flat bases particularly those with machine ground
bases. Always dry the base of the pan before placing on the plate.

FUNCTION SELECTOR
Cook or grill by turning the FUNCTION SELECTOR until symbol on the control knob is
in line with the indicato mark.
There are 4 positions 0“OFF”, “GRILL”, “OVEN”, a blank position and back
to “OFF”.
CONVENTIONAL OVEN
Set the FUNCTION SELECTOR to oven, set the cooking temperature with the
TEMPERATURE SELECTOR. The indicator light will illuminate.
It is advisable to preheat the oven until the set temperature has been reached i.e.: when
the indicator light above the TEMPERATURE SELECTOR goes off. The light will cycle
on and off during cooking in line with the oven temperature.
During cooking, do not open the door unless it is absolutely necessary.
GRILLING
Always grill with the door closed..
Set the FUNCTION SELECTOR to the grill position and the TEMPERATURE
SELECTOR to the desired temperature.
The temperature can be varied depending on the food being cooked.
Before using the grill, pre-heat for about five minutes. Position the grill pan on the highest
shelf position and keep checking the food as it could easily burn.
To avoid possible smoking during grilling it is advisable to add a little water to the grill
pan.
The grill pan comes with a detachable handle which should always be used when
removing the grill pan from the oven.
Note: It is recommended that grilling should be limited to no longer than 30 minutes.

THE HOB:
Spillage on the hob can usually be removed by a damp soapy cloth. More obstinate
stains can be removed by rubbing gently with a soapy scouring pad or mild household
cleaner.
Avoid scratching or scraping the surface. Always wipe the plates after use with a damp
cloth and switch on momentarily to dry the plate.
Occasionally wipe a trace of cooking oil over the plate to maintain its appearance.
SPILLAGE:
Any spillage should be dealt with as soon as possible to prevent it becoming baked on.
THE OVEN:
The oven interior and the chromium plated shelves and runners can be cleaned by a
damp soapy cloth.
Obstinate stains can be removed with scouring pads and a gentle, non-abrasive, liquid
cleaner.
Provided the oven is wiped over immediately after roasting, only the minimum of cleaning
should be necessary.
DOOR GLASS:
The glass of the oven door can be cleaned with a soft, warm, soapy cloth, then wiped
clean with cold water and polished with a soft clean cloth.
Do not use scouring pads or anything abrasive on the oven door glass.
NOTE:
Any cleaners such as spray or stick cleaners which are used on enamel must have the
VEDC (Vitreous Enamel Development Council) seal of approval and the manufacturers
instructions must be followed.
Always switch the cooker off at the mains isolating switch before cleaning or
touching any electrical part.
