When you are cooking, keep
children away from the vicinity
of the appliance.
This product is designed as a domestic
cooking appliance for the preparation
and cooking of domestic food
products, and should not be used for
any other purpose.
■Remove all packaging, protective
films and oils from the appliance
before using for the first time.
■Make sure you read and
understand the instructions before
using the appliance.
■Keep electrical leads short so they
do not drape over the appliance
or the edge of the worktop.
■Keep all flammable materials (such
as curtains, furnishings & clothing)
away from the appliance.
■Parts of the appliance may be hot
during or immediately after use.
Care should be taken to avoid
touching heating elements inside
the oven.
Allow sufficient time for the appli-
ance to cool after switching off.
■When opening the appliance
door, take care to avoid skin
contact with any steam which may
escape from the cooking.
■Do not use aluminium foil to cover
the grill pan, or put items wrapped
in foil under the grill as this creates
a fire hazard. The high reflectivity
can also damage the element.
■Never use the appliance for
heating a room.
■Do not drape tea towels over the
flue vents or doors, as this creates
a fire hazard.
■Use oven gloves when removing
hot food / dishes from the oven or
grill. The oven / grill and utensils
will be very hot when in use.
■Do not use foil on the hob or oven
shelves, as this creates a fire hazard,
and prevents heat circulation.
■When cooking heavy items - eg;
turkeys - do not pull the oven shelf
out with the item still on the shelf.
■Never remove any part of the
cooker other than those intended
for normal use. Do not attempt to
modify the cooker in any way.
■Never store items above a cooker
that children may attempt to reach.
■Never use large pans or fish kettles
across two hotplates, as this will
damage the hob.

Be Safe - Not Sorry
24774 00 - SN ES500DOa 02/04/2002 16:21 Page 6

Before using the hob for the first time,
it should be primed and seasoned -
refer to the instructions in the
‘Cleaning’ section.
To switch on a hotplate element
Turn the selected hotplate control knob
clockwise or anticlockwise, depending
on the required setting.
Each hotplate can be used between
settings 1 and 6. These are fixed heat
settings.
Setting 1 is the lowest temperature,
and setting 6 is the highest.
The high speed hob ring(s) are identified
by its central red spot. A high speed
hob ring has a faster response time.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
Using the hob
Do not operate the hotplate elements
without a pan on, or leave them
running after removing a pan.
The electric hob uses a sealed hob
system where heat is transferred by
conduction, which is highly efficient.
For maximum efficiency, use a
correctly sized pan with a flat heavy
gauge base.
Decorative covers should not be
used over the hotplates as these can
trap moisture and cause corrosion.
Accidental operation with a cover in
place can cause intense heat.
Pans
When cooking with fat or oil, never
leave unattended.
Do not use double pans, rim based
pans, old misshapen pans or any pan
which is unstable when placed on a
flat surface.
Position pans over the centre of the
hotplates. If positioned off centre,
smaller pans may be unstable.
Turn pan handles to a safe position,
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance, and
cannot be caught accidentally.
Use pans with a flat base of minimum
100mm / 4 ins diameter and maximum
254mm / 10 ins diameter which are
stable in use.
Pan bases that are much smaller or
much larger than the hotplate - eg;
by 50mm - will result in slower
cooking times.
Always ensure that pan bases are dry
before placing them onto the hotplates.
Never place saucepan lids on the
hotplates as any moisture on them may
cause corrosion.
Commercial simmering aids and heat
diffusers should not be used as they
create excessive temperatures that
can damage the surface and may
cause a hazard.
When you have finished
cooking check that all controls
are in the off position.

Using the Hob
24774 00 - SN ES500DOa 02/04/2002 16:21 Page 7

Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when grill is used, young
children should be kept away.
To switch on the grill
Open the grill door.
Turn the grill control knob to maximum
temperature setting (models with grill
in oven compartment) or to position 6
(models with grill separate to oven).
Preheat the grill for 5 minutes.
Turn the control knob to the required
temperature.
Only use the middle and bottom shelf
positions for grilling. Do not use the
top shelf position.
Ensure that the food is correctly
positioned under the grill element.
The grill door must be fully open
when grill is used.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
Always grill with the grill door
open
The thermostat will prevent the grill
from overheating should the grill door
be accidentally closed during grilling.
However, always ensure that the grill
door is open when grilling.
Preheating
Always preheat the grill for about
5 minutes for best cooked results.
Detachable grill pan handle
Warning; Always use an oven glove
to protect your hand when using the
grill as all metal parts can become
very hot.
The grill pan has a detachable handle.
Make sure that the handle is securely
located between the raised profiles
across the front of the grill pan. To
remove the handle, reverse the
sequence.
Always take care to avoid skin contact
with hot surfaces (such as a hot grill
pan) when using the grill pan handle.
Ensure that the handle is positioned
centrally and securely.
The handle is designed for removing /
inserting the grill pan under the grill
when grilling. It should be removed
from the pan during grilling, to prevent
overheating.
If cleaning the grill pan when it is hot,
use oven gloves to move it. Do not
use the handle to pour hot fats from the
grill pan.

Using the Grill
24774 00 - SN ES500DOa 02/04/2002 16:21 Page 8

Grilling
It is recommended that the high
temperature setting is used for toasting
and for cooking foods such as bacon,
sausages or steaks.
For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces, which may
require longer cooking times, turn the
control to a lower setting after the
initial sealing on both sides.
The thicker the food, the lower the
control setting which should be used.
When grilling thicker food, the grill
pan trivet should be turned to its low
position.
Browning food under the grill
Foods which require browning can be
placed under a hot grill - either in the
grill pan or placed on the floor of the
grill compartment, depending on the
size of the dish.
If the grill pan is used, the trivet can be
removed.
Warming plates and dishes in
the grill compartment
Ovenproof plates and dishes may be
warmed in the grill compartment when
the main oven is in use - place them on
the floor of the grill compartment.
Aluminium foil
Do not line the grill pan with aluminium
foil or put items wrapped in foil under
the grill, as this creates a fire hazard,
and the high reflectivity may damage
the grill element.

Using the Grill
24774 00 - SN ES500DOa 02/04/2002 16:21 Page 9

Accessible parts may be hot
when the oven is used. Young
children should be kept away.
Important: Never put items directly
on the base of the oven, or cover the
oven base with foil, as this may cause
the element to overheat. Always
position items on the shelf.
Caution: The top element gets
extremely hot when in use, so take
extra care to avoid touching it.
To turn on the top oven
Turn the top oven control knob clockwise
to the desired temperature setting.
The red thermostat indicator light (if
fitted) will stay on until the selected
temperature is reached and then go
off; it will turn on and off periodically
as the thermostat operates to maintain
the selected temperature.
To switch off, return the control knob
to the “off” position.
Take care when opening the oven
door. Let any steam or hot air escape
before removing the food.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen or chilled foods, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
light switches off for the first time - this
will take up to 20 minutes depending
on the temperature selected. If you are
not preheating the oven, the cooking
times in the baking guide may need to
be extended, as they are based on a
preheated oven.
Note: Only the main oven is pro-
grammable. When the programmer
has been set for the main oven, the top
oven may be used manually.
