Do not stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. Although the ceramic surface
is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling object might cause the surface
to crack. As soon as any crack in the surface becomes visible disconnect the
appliance from the supply and arrange for its repair. Care should
be taken that no water seeps into the appliance.
During use, and afterwards, the appliance will be warm, so be careful with little
children. If the younger members of your family are allowed into the kitchen
we strongly advise that they are kept under supervision at all times.
If you have not used a ceramic electric cooker before, we recommend you read
the ‘General Safety Instructions’ where we describe some basic guidelines on
how to use your cooker safely.

Glass-ceramic cookware is not suitable because of its
poor conductivity.
 Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, flat
bottoms. This ensures that there is the maximum heat
transfer from the hob to the pan, making cooking quick
and energy efficient.
Never use a round bottomed Wok even with a stand.
 The very best pans have bases that are very slightly
curved in when cold. If you hold a ruler across the
bottom you will see a small gap in the middle. When
they heat up the metal expands and lies flat on the
cooking surface.
Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to
prevent any residue burning onto the hob panel. This
also helps prevent scratches and deposits (such as lime
specks).
 Always use pans that are the same size as (or
slightly larger than) the areas marked on the hob top.
Using smaller pans wastes heat, and any spillage will be
burnt on. Using a lid will help the contents boil more
quickly.
 Always lift pans off the hob. Sliding pans may cause
marks and scratches. Always turn the control to the off
position before removing a pan.
 There are indicator lights for each of the cooking
areas. These come on when a hob control is turned on
and stay lit while the surface cools. Always take care
before touching the surface even when it is turned off
- it may be hotter than you think.
 The ratings of the cooking areas are shown on the
diagram below.


 Although the ceramic surface is very strong, a
heavy or sharp falling object (a salt cellar for example)
might cause the surface to crack. If you find a crack in
the surface disconnect the appliance from
the supply and arrange for its repair.
Care should be taken that no water seeps into the
appliance.
 The areas marked with two concentric circles have
an inner and an outer element.
Turn the control knob clockwise to heat the whole area
for larger pans - turn it the other way to just heat the
inner part for smaller pans.
 Never cook directly on the surface.
The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food
affects the setting required. Higher settings are
required for larger quantities of food.
Naturally, the surface must be washed after use
in order to prevent it from becoming scratched or
dirty.

When cooking on the hob you may see the hob
area you are using switch off and on. This is caused
by a safety device that limits the temperature of
the hob. It is quite normal, especially when cooking
at high temperatures. If it happens a lot with a
particular pan however it may mean the pan is not
suitable – perhaps too small or too uneven - for a
ceramic hob.
Sugar spillage will permanently damage the
hob and therefore must be cleaned off with care
immediately. Never let sugar spillage cool before
trying to remove it.
If sugar or foods with high sugar content,
aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally
allowed to melt on the hob surface remove them
immediately from the hot cooking area using
a scraper to avoid any possible damage to the
surface. See the ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of
these instructions.

The left hand oven is a Multi-function oven. As well as
the oven fan and fan element, it is fitted with two extra
heating elements, one visible in the top of the oven
and the second under the oven base. Take care to avoid
touching the top element and element deflector when
placing or removing items from the oven. For more
detail on this oven see the section ‘Multi-function oven’.
The fan in the right hand oven circulates hot air
continuously, which means faster more even cooking.
The recommended cooking temperatures for a fanned
oven are generally lower than a non-fanned oven.
The Multi-function
oven has two
controls, a function
selector and a
temperature setting
knob.

The timer can be used to turn just one oven or
both on and off automatically. The start and stop
time must be the same for both ovens but different
cooking temperatures can be set.
If you want to turn one of the ovens on at the
same time as the timer is set for automatic
cooking, you must wait until the timer has turned
on the oven/ ovens first. Then you can adjust
either of them manually in the normal way.
You can set the oven to turn on any time over the
following 24 hour period.
If you want to cook more than one dish, choose
dishes that require approximately the same time.
However, dishes can be ‘slowed down’ slightly
by using small containers and covering them
with aluminium foil, or ‘speeded up’ slightly by
cooking smaller quantities or placing in larger
containers.
Very perishable foods such as pork or fish should be
avoided if a long delay period is planned, especially
in hot weather.
Don’t place warm food in the oven.
Don’t use an oven already warm.
Don’t use if an adjoining oven is warm.
Avoid using wine or beer if there is a delay period,
as fermentation may take place.
To avoid curdling, cream should be added to
dishes just before serving.
Fresh vegetables, which may discolour during a
delay period, should be coated in melted fat or
immersed in a water and lemon juice solution.
Fruit pies, custard tarts or similar wet mixtures on
top of uncooked pastry are only satisfactory if there
is a short delay period. Dishes containing leftover
cooked meat or poultry should not be cooked
automatically if there is a delay period.
Whole poultry must be thoroughly defrosted
before placing in the oven.
Check that meat and poultry are fully cooked
before serving.
Both Ovens
The wire shelves should always be pushed firmly to
the back of the oven.
Baking trays, meat tins et cetera should be placed level
and centrally on the oven’s wire shelves. Keep all trays
and containers away from the sides of the oven, as
overbrowning of the food may occur.
For even browning maximum recommended size
for a baking tray is:-
Main oven 340mm (133/8”) by 340mm (133/8”).
Tall oven 230mm (9”) by 320mm (121/2”).
Cooking high moisture content
foods can create a ‘steam burst’,
when the oven door is opened.
When opening the oven stand
well back and allow any steam
to disperse.
When the oven is on, don’t leave
the door open for longer than
necessary, otherwise the knobs
may get very hot.
• Always leave a ‘fingers width’
between dishes on the same shelf. This allows the
heat to circulate freely around them.
• The Cook & Clean oven liners (see Cleaning your
cooker) work better when fat splashes are avoided.
Cover meat when cooking.
• To reduce fat splashing when you add vegetables
to hot fat around a roast, dry them thoroughly or
brush lightly with cooking oil.
• Sufficient heat rises out of the oven while
cooking to warm plates in the grill compartment.
• If you want to brown the base of a pastry dish,
preheat a baking tray for 15 minutes before
placing the dish in the centre of the tray.
• Where dishes may boil and spill over during
cooking, place them on a baking tray.

Multi-function oven
The Multi-function oven is on the left hand side.
It has many varied uses. We suggest you keep a
careful eye on your cooking until you are familiar
with each function. Remember - not all functions
will be suitable for all food types.
Please remember that all cookers vary -
temperatures in your new Elan ovens may differ to
those in your previous cooker.

Defrost
This function operates the fan to circulate
cold air only. No heat is applied. This enables small
items such as desserts, cream cakes and pieces of
meat, fish and poultry to be defrosted.
Defrosting in this way speeds up the process and
protects the food from flies. Pieces of meat, fish and
poultry should be placed on a rack, over a tray to
catch any drips. Be sure to wash the rack and tray
after defrosting.
Defrost with the oven door closed.
Large items, such as whole chickens and
joints should not be defrosted in this way. We
recommend this be carried out in a refrigerator.
Defrosting should not be carried out in a warm
oven or when an adjoining oven is in use or still
warm.
Ensure that dairy foods, meat and poultry are
completely defrosted before cooking.
Fan oven
This function operates the fan and the
heating element around it. An even heat is
produced throughout the oven, allowing you to
cook large amounts quickly.
Fan oven cooking is particularly suitable for baking
on several shelves at one time and is a good ‘all-
round’ function. It may be necessary to reduce the
temperature by approximately 10°C for recipes
previously cooked in a conventional oven.
If you wish to pre-heat the oven, wait until the
indicator light has gone out before inserting the
food.
Fanned grilling
This function operates the fan whilst the top
element is on. It produces a more even, less fierce
heat than a conventional grill. For best results, place
the food to be grilled, on a grid over a roasting tin,
which should be smaller than a conventional grill
pan. This allows greater air circulation. Thick pieces
of meat or fish are ideal for grilling in this way, as
the circulated air reduces the fierceness of the heat
from the grill. The oven door should be kept closed
whilst grilling is in progress, so saving energy. You
will also find that the food needs to be watched
and turned less than for normal grilling. Pre-heat
this function before cooking.
Fan assisted oven
This function operates the fan, circulating
air heated by the elements at the top and the
base of the oven. The combination of fan and
conventional cooking (top and base heat) makes
this function ideal for cooking large items that need
thorough cooking, such as a large meat roast. It is
also possible to bake on two shelves at one time,
although they will need to be swapped over during
the cooking time, as the heat at the top of the
oven is greater than at the base, when using this
function.
This is a fast intensive form of cooking; keep an
eye on the food cooking until you have become
accustomed to this function.


Conventional oven (top and base heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked
on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than on
the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the
top of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan assisted
oven’ function. Similar items being cooked will
need to be swapped around for even cooking. This
means that foods requiring different temperatures
can be cooked together, using the cooler zone in
the lower half of the oven and hotter area to the
top.
Browning element
This function uses the element in the top
of the oven only. It is a useful function for the
browning or finishing of pasta dishes, vegetables
in sauce, shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be
browned being already hot before switching to the
top element.
Base heat
This function uses the base element only. It
will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or finish off
cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower shelf.
It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of
casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate
warming.
The Browning and Base heat functions are useful
additions to your oven, giving you flexibility to
finish off items to perfection. With use, you will
soon realise how these functions can combine to
extend your cooking skills.
Handyrack
The maximum weight than can be held by the
Handyrack is 5.5kg (12lb). It should only be used with
the supplied meat tin, which is designed to fit the
Handyrack. Any other vessel could be unstable.
The Handyrack fits on the Main oven door. Food
cooking on it is easy to attend to, because it’s
accessible when the door is open. It can be fitted at
two different heights. One of the oven shelves must
be removed and the other positioned to suit.
When the Handyrack is used in its highest position,
other dishes can be cooked on the bottom shelf
position of the oven.
When the Handyrack is used in its lowest position,
other dishes can be cooked on the second shelf
position of the oven.
To fit the Handyrack,
locate one side of it on
the door bracket.
Then spring the other
side out to clip it onto
the other bracket.


Main Oven shelves
the shelf guard should be at the back pointing upwards
As well as a flat shelf some models are supplied
with a drop shelf. The drop shelf increases the
possibilities for oven shelf spacing.
The oven shelves can be easily removed and
refitted.
Pull the shelf forward until
the back of the shelf is
stopped by the shelf stop
bumps in the oven sides.
Lift up the front of the shelf
so the back of the shelf will
pass under the shelf stop
and then pull the shelf
forward.
To refit the shelf, line up the shelf with a groove
in the oven side and push the shelf back until the
ends hit the shelf stop. Lift up the front so the shelf
ends clear the shelf stops, and then lower the front
so that the shelf is level and push it fully back.
Tall Oven shelves
The tall oven is
supplied with four
normal cooking shelves
and a plate warming
shelf.
When using the tall oven you can cook on all four
shelves at the same time; but make sure they are
well spaced out to allow the hot air to circulate.

During cooking, food naturally produces steam,
particularly when cooking foods with high water
content (e.g. oven chips). There may be some steam
visible at the grille at the rear of the hotplate. This is
perfectly normal.
As this steam can condense to water droplets on the
cool outer trim of the oven, it may be necessary during
cooking to wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth.
This will also help to prevent soiling and discolouration
of the oven exterior by cooking vapours.

Multi-function Oven cooking guide
Remember - not all functions will be suitable for all food types. The oven control settings and cooking
times given are intended to be used only as a guide. Individual tastes may require the temperature to be
altered to provide a preferred result.
Food is cooked at lower temperature in a fan oven than in a conventional oven. When using recipes,
reduce the temperature by 10°C and the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. The temperature in the fanned
oven does not vary with height in the oven - so you can use any shelf.
The shelves should not be fitted directly one above the other. When cooking on more than one shelf
always leave at least one runner space between them. Place baking trays, individual cake tins or baking
dishes centrally on the oven shelf. For best results pre-heat the oven until the oven indicator light goes out.

Cleaning your cooker
Essential information
Before thorough cleaning isolate the electricity
supply. Remember to switch on the electricity
supply before use.
Never use paint solvents, washing soda,
caustic cleaners, biological powders, bleach,
chlorine based bleach cleaners, coarse
abrasives or salt. Don’t mix different cleaning
products - they may react together with
hazardous results.
Recommended cleaning materials are shown
in the table at the end of this section.
If you want to move your cooker for cleaning, see
the section called ‘Moving your cooker’.
All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot
soapy water - 

It’s very easy to clean the Hob with a recommended
cleaner.
 — Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads,
oven aerosols or pads or stain removers on the
surface.

First of all, be sure that all heat indicator lights are
off and the cooking surface is cool. Apply a small
dab, about the size of a 10p piece, of ceramic
cooking cleaning cream in the centre of each area
to be cleaned. Dampen a clean paper towel and
work the cleaning cream on the cooking surface as
if you were cleaning a window. As a final step, wipe
the cooking surface with a clean, dry paper towel.

For spills and boil-overs that occur while cooking,
turn the unit off and wipe the area surrounding
the hot zone with a clean paper towel. If a spill
(other than a sugary substance) is on the hot zone,
do not clean until the unit is completely cooled
down and follow the instructions below (“Cleaning
for burned-on spills”). If you accidentally melt
anything on the cooking or if you spill foods with a
high sugar content (preserves, tomato sauce, etc.),
REMOVE the spill IMMEDIATELY with a razor scraper,
while the unit is still hot. IMPORTANT: Use an oven
glove to protect your hand from potential burns.
Scrape the major spill or melted material from the
cooking zone and push into a cold area. Then, turn
the unit “OFF” and allow to cool before cleaning
further. After the cooking surface cools down and
the heat indicator lights go off, use the daily care
procedure as outlined above.

Be sure that the heat indicator lights are off and the
hob is cool. Remove excess burned-on substance
with a single-edged razor scraper. Hold the scraper
at approximately a 30° angle to the surface and
scrape off the burned-on matter as you would
scrape paint off of a window.
IMPORTANT: Take care when using a sharp scraper.
When you have removed as much as possible with
the scraper clean using the daily care procedure as

Sliding pans on the hob - especially aluminium or
copper pans can leave marks on the surface. These
marks often appear like scratches, but can be easily
removed using the procedure described above for
cleaning spills. If the rub-off marks are especially
stubborn, use the cleaning cream together with the
razor scraper, using the technique described above.

The grill pan and grid should be washed in hot
soapy water. After grilling meats or any foods that
soil, leave to soak for a few minutes in the sink
immediately after use. Stubborn particles may be
removed from the grid by using a nylon brush.
Alternatively the grill pan can be washed in a dish
washer.
To remove the grill pan support frame, pull the grill
pan forward.
Lift the grill pan clear of the support frame.
The support frame is held to the side rails by two
clips on each side.
For each side, support the side rail with one hand
and with the other hand lift the frame up and out of
the side clips.
For safety, push the side rails back into the grill
chamber.
The side rails can be
removed to make
cleaning the grill

Avoid using any abrasive cleaners including
cream cleaners, e.g. Cif, on brushed Stainless Steel
surfaces. For best results use a liquid detergent e.g.
Domestos Multi Surface Cleaner.
The control panel and control knobs should only
be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung out in clean hot

The Main oven has panels which have been coated
with a special enamel that partly cleans itself. This
does not stop all marks on the lining, but helps to
reduce the amount of manual cleaning needed.
The Cook & Clean panels work better above
200°C. If you do most of your cooking below this
temperature, occasionally remove the panels and
wipe with a lint free cloth and hot soapy water.
The panels should then be dried and replaced
and the oven heated at 200°C for about one
hour. This will ensure the Cook & Clean panels are
working effectively.
Don’t use steel wool (Brillo) or any other materials
that will scratch the surface. Don’t use oven
cleaning pads.

Some of the lining panels can be removed for
cleaning and for cleaning behind. Remove the
shelves first.
The side panels of either oven can be removed.
Each side of the oven
is fixed with four fixing
screws. You don’t have
to remove the screws
to remove the oven
linings. Lift each side
panel upwards and
they will slide off the
screws. Then pull them
forwards.
Once the linings are removed, the oven enamel
interior can be cleaned.

To clean the oven sides
slide out the shelves,
unhook the supports
from the oven sides
and lift out.
Moving your cooker
Switch off the electricity supply.
The cooker is heavy, two people may be required
to move it. There are two levelling rollers at the
back and also two screw down levelling feet at
the front.
Open the grill door and right hand oven door so
that you can get a good grip on the bottom of the
fascia panel as you move the oven.
Lift the front of the cooker slightly and pull forward.
Do not move the oven by pulling the door
handles or knobs.
Move the oven a bit at a time, checking behind it to
make sure the electricity supply cable is not caught.
Make sure the cable has sufficient slack to move the
cooker forward as you go along.
If a stability chain is fitted, release it as you ease
the cooker out. Don’t forget to refit it when you
replace the cooker.
When you replace the cooker, again check behind
to make sure that the electricity cable is not caught
or trapped.

Have you used the correct cleaning methods?
Pots and pans with rough bottoms, or coarse
particles (salt or sand) between the pan and the
surface of the hob may cause scratches.
Use the recommended cleaning methods. Make
sure pan bottoms are smooth and clean. Tiny
scratches are not removable but will become less
visible in time as a result of cleaning.
Only scratches in the hob surface reported within
14 days of cooker installation are covered by the

During cooking, food naturally produces steam,
particularly when cooking foods with high water
content (e.g. oven chips). There may be some steam
visible at the grille at the rear of the hotplate. This
is perfectly normal. Steam can condense to water
droplets on the cool outer trim or the oven door.
It may be necessary during cooking to wipe away
any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help
to prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven
exterior by cooking vapours.
Take care when opening the oven door, as there
may be a momentary puff of steam when the oven
door is opened. Stand well back and allow any
steam to disperse.

the Tall oven.
If you are cooking a large item, be prepared to turn
it round during cooking.
If two shelves are used, check that space has been
left for the heat to circulate. When a baking tray is
put into the oven, make sure it is placed centrally
on the shelf.
Check that the door seal is not damaged and that
the door catch is adjusted so that the door is held
firmly against the seal.
A dish of water when placed on the shelf should be
the same depth all over. (For example, if it is deeper
at the back, then the back of the cooker should be
raised up or the front lowered). If the cooker is not
level arrange for your supplier to level it for you.
